Cornflakes Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 My husband is spoiled (and rightly so)...he has everything he needs, and everything he wants. I have been buying him Valentine's presents for years, and I am absolutely flummoxed as to what to buy him this year. I'm sending him one of those edible arrangements to his office on Monday in a grand, sweeping romantic gesture that he will LOVE because not only does he like romantic stuff, he's on a diet and will enjoy the fruit, too. But I feel like I need to get him something else. Gifts that are immediately not an option: Cologne Jewelry Chocolates Flowers Plushies Boxers Clothes so, what do you males want for Valentines?!? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 ... You know, it's funny. You'd think that i'd atleast know what to get a guy, but I don't. I'm terrible when it comes to gifts. xD If chocolate isn't an option then I see none. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingeevee Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 At least he's into romantic stuff! Every year I usually like to make my gifts since he never wants anything either but he loves knowing I made something myself just for him ^^ How about making him something like a small book on all the reasons you love him? (Corny I know but I don't care!) haha xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I've not really got much experience in this subject but maybe a nice framed picture of you or the two of you or of something else he likes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see that? Right there. Those ideas. Use them. Hate to admit it but snuggies are awesome. xD And who dosen't love ice cream? Just sayin. -amused because xwee is 11 and suggested wine and a wallet- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 These are all excellent suggestions! He has been asking for a nice framed photo of me forever, but I feel I am too ugly to make him one. :laughingsmiley: He would love a nice bottle of wine! I wish I knew more about buying wine, but I'm going to go buy him one anyway! He already has a beloved Coach wallet so I'm not buying him another. Snuggie -- He's going to lol at me, but I think you're right, I think he'll like it :) Thanks!! Keep them coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I would help but i am super terrible about this too. I am getting my boyfriend a watch. But seeing as I lost two of his over the years i am more or less replacing his favorite one i lost 2 years ago. I hope you can figure out a great present.

UnitheXweetok Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yes. i am 11. But I know what men like! And, yes, at religious things and on christmas eve with my parents, I had Merlot. Delicious. Watered down, but delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 My husband and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day at all. My husband is also not very romantic at all. :( How about a magazine subscription? It's the gift that keeps giving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 I actually got him a subscription to Reader's Digest last year for some holiday, can't remember which. That was a good idea. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose_682 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I like to cook a really special home made meal for Valentine's Day if I am not going out. This year, I'm being taken to my favorite restaurant, lol. But I don't know a single guy that doesn't appreciate a meal that's cooked especially for them. UnitheXweetok has a good suggestion with wine. Buying wine isn't really all that difficult. Of course, I live in the Okanagan Valley in BC, and we have like, 100 wineries that are local, lmao, so that complicates issues. The most important issue when pairing wine with dinner is what you are cooking (or what kind of wine you like to DETERMINE what you are cooking) The second part of this pairing list is pretty dead on. Tells you what kinds of wine you want to get for what kind of meal you are making, or vice versa. Also, you could watch his favorite movie with him (or a movie that he has wanted to see for a while) and enjoy it with popcorn (if you air or pan pop it, it's actually super healthy :P, and there are no calories, so it's awesome for diets). Obviously a card, or letter, that says how you feel about him is a great thing, since you are lucky enough to have a romantic husband :P Anyway, Valentine's Day is tomorrow, so any of my other ideas are a little too late :P Have a great V-Day, darling :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
