What do you get a guy for valentines?

[shereads]

It depends on whether I know him. For strangers, I like to leave a love note in the mailbox, composed of letters clipped from the newspaper, maybe illustrated with pictures of hearts cut out of medical journals. I add a candy heart to the envelope with some cute saying on it. Then I hide in the bushes so I can see the reaction.

With men I actually know, I play practical jokes like hiding all of their clothes.

If I'm in love with the man, we just rent a trampoline and grease our bodies with that yellow stuff they use on movie popcorn instead of butter. Nothing fancy, but it's a family tradition. We do the same thing on Arbor Day.

Love is much like Arbor Day. If you look at it the right way.

It's all about the woody.

The best Valentine's Day gift I got wasn't from a girlfriend.

My friend loves to paint, so for one of her Birthdays I bought her big canvas and oil paint. She was delighted with her gift and spent hours painting.

On Valentine's Day, I went home to find a package sitting on my door step. When I opened it I found her painting. She had painted my favourite spot and in a little corner she added a tiny fairy watching over the scenery and me.

I assume you use the trampoline once you've rented it, otherwise, it would be a waste of money.

It's a prop, like a Christmas tree. If you've ever worn popcorn butter, you'd know that.

What do people wear with popcorn butter nowadays?

Yes. Popcorn silly, but money flows back into reservation, so popcorn also smart

Us guys get as miserable on V day as women do, and need to be made to feel wanted and attractive.

Remember, generally we're shit at showing our emotions, so in most cases partners will have to ignore our macho stoical shit and treat us like the babies we all want to be.

Uh... sorry...

Power tools, consumer electronics, a mean looking dog... that's the shitnitz for me.

Okay... I'll admit a threesome with her best friend or sister would definitely bring a tear of gratitude to my eye.

Sincerely,

ElSol

Something I try to do is give him something that will be used on a regular basis. If he golfs, what about balls, tees, new towel to hang off his bag. If he isnt that good, how about a couple lessons with the golf pro?

A subscription for a favorite magazine of his, it comes once a month or bi monthly and hopefully will think of you when it arrives. Buy the magazine or slip out one of those annoying flyer cards and send it away, then the next month pick up the new one. (little too late to do that now though) Id just buy the current one and add a note in the card to have him expect one next month too.

Does he bowl? Lots of things including free games you could get for him.

I find guys dont usually (or mine doesnt) go for the really expensive things for Valentines, this year I got Hubby a game he had been talking about. He loves to play scrabble with me in the nice weather, outside on the patio. I noticed the special edition ones were on for half price, the ones with the tile grid to hold the tiles and a turn table bottom. We have the old fashioned board and tile one, so I thought, he wont expect it and we can actually use it! I also have a book I ordered for him for Christmas, it didnt come in so I thought Id give it to him now or maybe hold on to it for Fathers Day- thats if I remember I have it when FD comes around! lol

Actually, no, but I'm in a forgiving mood today. You got lucky.

whatever lucky told you, it's a lie.

The actual gift is immaterial to letting him know how much you love him.

Sew that up and the gift can be as simple as a photograph and a bj or even just a nice dinner.

Exactly what I said, babe. You're a keeper.

Sweet, as with any other gift, it's the thought that went in to it that matters.

I would much rather recieve something that was inexpensive, or even free, that shows that there was some thought involved, than an expensive gift that was obviously just a quick "I gotta get her something" afterthought.

It's been so long, I can't remember.

Sometimes the simplest answers are the best.

Joe, that gender switching potion could do wonders in the field of porn research. Why are you keeping it to yourself?

 

[sweetnpetite]

We usually treat each other to an evening at one of the better strip clubs and buy each other lap dances all night. It's simple and mutual.

Now *that* is an idea!

 

[sweetnpetite]

Pretend you really, really like what I got for you.

I think I am a hard one to answer this because I am such a hopeless romantic. I like the sweet stuff.

that said, I like the following ideas;

1) a bottle of the good stuff, be it wine or something harder, or multiple bottles if he is a beer fan. Something unusual that he would not normally buy for himself.

2) DVD or CD that he has been wanting.

3) the sporting event tickets is a good idea.

4) gift certificate to a favorite steakhouse or other "manly place". I don't want to go there on a busy day like Valentines, but I'll enjoy it later in the week.

5) If your sex life leans toward toys, there are always some fun possibilities there, like the previously mentioned massage oil.

hmm,

beer, massage oil, lapdances and gift certificats to hooters

Now there's a gift basket he'd like!
