If you don't know, I'm a guy. And Valentine's Day is really tough on some of us. We are the forgotten when it comes to gift-giving. It's true. It's true. * sniffle *
However, that doesn't excuse the fellas from doing their duties. I'm not the type of guy who likes to bs around. I rather get it straight from the source! WOMEN. So...
Last night, and today, I've asked users on Twitter and Facebook. What are some gift suggestions for Valentine's Day for ladies. Some answers I expected. Some surprised me. And some people are getting Valentine's Day mixed up with Christmas. And not real Christmas. But Santa Claus at Macy's Christmas.
Nevertheless. Here's the list compiled. Fellas, this list is just a guide. You are still required, by her, to know what she want, needs, and be able to read her mind!
Well this is nice. An arrangement of goodies with a balloon and a teddy bear. The trick is to get this delivered to her job in the middle of the day. That's how you win. And you can even eat the bear too! Nah. I'm kidding. You can't eat the bear...technically.
My Berry Valentine $84 / Edible Arrangements
Another W in your column fellas. Unless your lady is just not a fan of beauty products at all, this recession proof consumer item will never let you down. But don't walk into Sephora thinking you're going to buy the absolute right thing that she wants based on name alone. Even if the product looks the same what she has in the bathroom, don't chance it. Play it safe. GIFT CARD!
Sephora Gift Card $Varies / Sephora
Shoes
I mean, this IS Pumpsicle. You could really just slide through the archives and tags all day and get inspired. Here's a little more. The 4" stacked heel Tory Burch Wrap-Up Sandals sport criss crossing leather straps with leather lining and padded insole.

I prefer that women smell liked baked goods. But this isn't about me. This is about her. Go for the win, that new Chance by Chanel is available!

Scented Oils
Ha. Fellas, if you live like I live, you probably know somebody who's going to bring a whole bunch of these into the barber shop ANYWAY.

I'm not really big on V-Day candy. All of the good stuff you can get at the grocers at the little "impulse buying" section near the tabloid magazines and the cash register.

Mascato
The Wine Specialist in DC has Ceretto Grappa di Moscato. If you're a half decent cook. Make a nice candle light dinner for 2 and pour out a lil' Moscato for the homies. :)
