Ladies - Your Eyes Only! Valentine's Day Suggestions

Ladies: contrary to our previous post about the Man's Duty on Valentine's Day, it is your duty to expect and frolic in the lavishing your man will provide. Drop subtle (or sometimes more obvious) hints about what you want. For example, what your favorite place is for a nice dinner, what your favorite flowers are, or what your favorite scent is. This is an adverse view to what most would think, though being a man, I probably have the same mentality and way of thinking as most men, and need to be told what you want.  Of course we can be spontaneous and creative at times, but with a little nudging, you can get what you want and you both can have a great Valentine's Day.

Over the years I have read endless stories and blogs about how men have to do this or that and be sure to surprise his lady by doing something unexpected.  Let's be serious though, we all know how this game is played and we shouldn't fool ourselves.  For the perfect Valentine's Day, make your man think the ball is in his court and simply call the shots from the sideline - then everybody wins.

On a different note, have you thought about giving female co-workers, your mom, your friends, or even your children Valentine gifts?  Flowers, candy, gift cards, or a simple "Happy Valentine's Day" with a smile and wave is an easy way to make people beam.  Have you thought of giving your man a gift? What about a beer gift basket, or tickets to the game, or even flowers with a bottle of wine in the arrangement?  These will definitely build up the brownie points...not like you needed any!

Men - Your Eyes Only! Valentine's Day Suggestions

Men: with Valentine's Day right around the corner, you should be thinking about how to surprise, charm, praise, and thank your lovely lady for doing all the great things she does for you. Be prepared. One great way to start is to send her a gift early in the week at her place of business so she can enjoy (and flaunt) your thoughtfulness with her co-workers.  If you are the one who sends her a gift early in the week, all of her co-workers will be gossiping how special she is and how awesome you are.  This is a time-tested technique for you to win big points...

There are plenty of gift ideas here for you to check out. Remember to not let others out do you, because that would be very embarrassing for your gal, especially at work.  Nothing will make you stand out more if her friends and co-workers are in envy of your kindness.  Even if you are not fond of Valentine's Day, it is our job as men to make our women feel really special.

An idea to make her feel special is to do something you don't usually do, such as getting a hot bath ready with rose petals floating on top and scented candles placed around the bath tub. One guy sent one rose on 2/10, then two roses on 2/11, three roses on 2/12 and so on, because they were celebrating their fifth Valentine's Day together. He definitely built up his brownie point coffer!
