OK Boys, it’s almost St Valentine’s Day. That’s right, time
to panic, right? NO! It really isn’t that big of a deal. Wait…did a girl just
say that? Yep. I know the jewelers and florists would have you believe that if
you don’t go into debt you will undoubtedly fail this Thursday. What Valentine’s
Day is really about is showing your lover that you care. Let’s face it; you’ve
put more thought and research into the cheat codes for Call of Duty. What
follows are a few ideas for the romantically challenged who would normally “panic
buy” on their way home from work Thursday.
When it comes to flowers forget the roses unless they are
your love’s favorites. By the way…what is her favorite flower? Buy it. Don’t
know? Ask her friends. Still don’t know, get something a little unusual,
gladiola (my favorite), lilies, or daisies. BTW daisies are a good choice for
friends or if you haven’t been dating too long. Don’t buy dozens unless the
blooms are small. Get a nice size bouquet which can be had at your local
grocer.
On the subject of candy instead of just buying whatever
heart shaped boxes are closest to the door at the drug store put a little
thought into it. What is her favorite candy? Does she like white chocolate?
Then stop by the drug store and buy one of every white chocolate candy bar on
display. Buy a giant candy bar instead of the box. Another alternative is to
drop by a local bakery and pick up a special desert or even a sampler platter.
And now for the big kahuna, jewelry. Should you? Shouldn’t
you? Jewelry is fine but keep it simple. Buy a costume set in her favorite
color. Pick up a bracelet or a pair of earrings. It doesn’t have to be
expensive or fancy.
Now that wasn’t painful at all was it? The common thread
here is that you have put a little thought into what you beloved thinks and
likes. I know that seems to be a stretch for most guys. So go ahead and put a
little thought and a little romance into this commercially contrived holiday
get a big thumbs up from your girl.
