Cheap Valentine's Gifts for Ladies: Part 2

Gentlemen, today's gift is oh.... oh so simple. But for all you slow guys out there you might need to read this a few times.

Ok. Today's gift is basically free if you don't count the cost of the ink in the pen, notebook paper, and your imagination. Here's what you need to do:

1. Acquire a writing instrument (sometimes called a pen)
2. Acquire notebook paper.
3. Write a short story in letter format (Dear __ ) about you're favorite time together or something just as romantic with your lady. Try to go for filling up the whole paper, but don't go over. If you're having trouble then skip lines.
4. Tear or cut the notebook paper into ninths. (Like tic-tac-toe)
5. Now for the nine days leading up to Valentine's Day you should put these little squares somewhere you know she'll find them and won't mistakenly destroy them. Like if she has a laptop you could put one on the keyboard and close the lid.
6. Very Important: When she starts finding these things she's obviously going to know it's you and ask you about it. DENY DENY DENY. Look at her like she's lost her mind. You have no idea what she's talking about. Even when she shoves them in your face DENY DENY DENY until she drops it.
7. Try to give her the squares in order or slightly out of order so that she can actually read the story as you give her more pieces to the puzzle.
8. Bask in your greatness as the greatest boyfriend ever.

Now although this gift is super sweet, I wouldn't give it by itself. This is more of a supplementary gift to whatever else you're planning on giving her.

Can't think of any gift ideas? Remember, there's always Amazon.com and they have free shipping on orders over $25

Cheap Valentine's Gifts for Men

Now let's all sit down and relax for a sec... Ok. Ok I'm good now. Now ladies I hope you're relaxed and listening carefully. Please understand that Valentine's Day is your holiday. We only take part to either impress you, or because you say so... But... if we're going to get you a gift then we want one too. Now I know you're thinking that something like this might be a good idea. Well... good thing you stumbled across this post because you're clearly hopeless. There's two kinds of gifts I expect you to give this Vday. Give both, and you're the perfect girlfriend. But one or the other is just as good.

1) Practical Makes Perfect

Now, as a guy who's received both good and bad Vday gifts let me tell you the secret. Practical is king. What do I mean by that? Well, while that teddy bear you slaved over at the Build-a-Bear workshop is cute and all, it'll probably sit on his shelf and he'll never look at it again.

What he could really do for is a cool novelty t-shirt, or belt (If your guy is into that sorta thing). You'll find both on Amazon. That new video game he won't shut up about? Got it. Basically what I'm trying to suggest here is buy something that he would buy for himself. You're need to know your man. Valentine's should be like a mini birthday for him. But only one practical gift.

Another thing you might want to consider is food. Does he have a favorite food? Can you cook? If you can, then give it a shot. If not, well... you could also:

1.5) Cater To Him

Why not switch things up and make Vday all about him? Give him a massage, make that meal I was talking about, turn on some sports for him, maybe let him relax with his favorite book, and cater to him for the day. Doing something like this for your guy shows him your love way more than saying it ever could. It's just a fact of life that most men like to be taken care of from time to time. Remember, if you do this for your guy, he's much more likely to do it for you in return (if he hasn't already). So not only do you make him feel good, you're guaranteeing yourself the same in the future. See? It works out for both of you.

2) Sexy, Come On Down!

Whether or not you go the practical route, you must go the sexy route. Or at least I strongly advise you to do so. Vday is the day of love because you two reaffirm your love to one another. At least that's what you think. He loves Vday because that's the day you two make love. Get it? Got it? Good.

Now lingerie and sex games and/or sex accessories are the name of the game here. From personal experience I recommend mixing lingerie with either the games or accessories. This two pronged attack will have him stuck to you, in more ways than one.

You might also want to try a costume of some sort. If you've been thinking of doing something sexy for him, then Vday is certainly the day to do it. Maybe meet him at the door in a revealing outfit? I don't know, use your imagination, you get the idea.

Pleasing your man is easy, which is why I decided to write a post about this. Next time it's back to gifts for the ladies.

Cheap (But Effective) Valentine's Gifts for Ladies

As we gentlemen know, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. If you haven't done so, I suggest finding a Valentine right about now. Correct that... now. Sooner rather than later will avoid the creepiness and resulting restraining order you'll get smacked if you splurge on Valentines gifts for the girl you met at the party only a week earlier. Every day leading up to Vday I'll post a new gift to help out all you poor bastards.

Literary Romanticism

Ok so you've been with this girl for a while now and you really want to do something to sweep her off of her feet. Easy. This one will require creativity on your part, but the 'it's thought that counts' factor is so high that it'll excuse a half-hearted attempt.

Difficulty: 6

I recommend this book What I Love About You. It's a fill in the blank book where you record, as the title suggests, why you love your partner. You recall memories and answer questions. As you're writing, you gradually come to appreciate her so much more. Then you give her the book all filled out and her tears will well up as she turns the pages. Honestly, this is romantic as hell... It's one of those gifts that can bring a relationship back from the 'brink' territory. I strongly recommend this book. Best part? It's cheap.

I also recommend This book if you want to go more in depth with your girl and learn more about each other. It's also steamier if you catch my drift... With All About Us you can do the book together and answer the questions either in the book or out loud. You're guaranteed to get closer and your wife, girlfriend, fiancee, etc. will adore you for it.
