We all know what women want for Valentine's Day: proclamation of our love, flowers, chocolate, gift baskets, spa days, a nice dinner and maybe some jewelry, right? What women need to know is that guys don't always want what the commercials are trying to get them to buy.
What guys really want is something totally different.
If you really want to get a guy a great Valentine's gift, let's start with what not to get him.
Don't get him anything embroidered with his name, don't get him any heart underwear or boxer shorts, and don't get him anything romantic.
Trust me, he doesn't care.
Even the most wonderfully romantic dude doesn't want his gift to be romantic.
Frankly, that sucks.
What can you get a guy? You can send him something at his work this time - but not flowers.
You can really impress your guy by having a manly food delivered to his work - like a pizza.
You think I'm kidding? I'm not.
Hook up your man with a killer pizza delivered to his work.
You can either have the pizza joint spell out Happy Valentine's Day in pepperoni or some other meat, or just have them deliver the pizza with a simple card taped to the box that says "Happy Valentines Day.
" I would prefer the latter myself.
But please, do your guy a favor and don't write "love, Susie" or whatever your name is.
Just sign your name.
Another thing you can send him at work is a gift basket.
Nothing foofy or girly, please.
Stick to gift baskets filled with brownies, cookies, snacks, beef jerky, meat and cheese, etc.
- maybe even some chocolates, but not too much chocolate, that's a chick thing.
Whoever said the way to a man's heart is his stomach was right.
Guys dig chicks who feed them.
What else can you have delivered? How about a beer basket - depending on his employer of course.
Nothing makes a man happier than receiving a gift basket full of beer in front of his buddies.
It will make all his friend and enemies jealous, and he'll like that.
My last suggestion is to do something completely out of the ordinary.
Instead of suggesting he spend time with you on Valentine's Day, conspire with his best friends wives or girlfriends and have a delivery service hand deliver tickets a sports event for that night.
Send along a card telling him how great he is and that you know he'll make it up to you later.
Yeah, you'd be giving up Valentine's Day for one year - but he'll feel like he owes you for the rest of his life.
That's a great spot to be in.
