Gift Suggest

Last year I got it in my head that men shouldn’t have to do all the work to create a romantic valentines day. What started it was a fight I’d had with my boyfriend which later turned out to be my fault. I didn’t exactly apologize to him we just made up i.e. I started talking to him again. But I felt guilty and began thinking that all I ever did on valentines day was dress-up and look pretty; so I told my boyfriend that I’d be making all the arrangements for a romantic valentines day.

I think if I’d shot myself in the foot it would’ve had less dire consequences than my idea to plan Valentines dinner and everything. My boyfriend kept offering to take over but I was determined to plan a super romantic valentines dinner or die trying. And on top of all it I had to find a romantic gift for my boyfriend. For the first time since I began dating, I actually fell behind on my Valentines shopping.

The whole valentines dinner plans weren’t going well either, I couldn’t get any reservations at a nice affordable place and as much as I didn’t want to, I ended up cooking Valentines dinner myself. Oh and I couldn’t buy myself any valentines bouquets or heart shaped valentines candy which otherwise my boyfriend would give me at dinner. I was about ready to bail out but my boyfriend had stopped offering to help me so I didn’t have a choice anymore. That was the one time I didn’t get a Valentines Day gift for my boyfriend. On Valentines Day my boyfriend (who knew that I’d had a pretty rough time with all the valentines planning) really out did himself.

He bought me a valentine chocolate box and flowers and a box of dipped fruit which beat all his other gifts by a mile. The dipped fruit was just delicious and it came in pineapples and oranges and chocolate strawberries. The chocolate covered strawberries were so delicious. It made me forget all about how hard it had been to plan the valentines dinner, it was all worth it.
