VALENTINES GIFTS FOR DUMMYS....

Dawn Boyle

Valentine's Day is all about love and romance. Therefore, the gift of "going out" is top of list. A romantic dinner at her favorite restaurant . You can take her somewhere else for a spa treatments including massages or team rooms. If your wife's parents or children live elsewhere it will be a good idea to give her the gift of traveling in order to see them. While out you can talk about your marriage, regarding what is done, what is wrong, and what should be done to improve your relationship in the years to come.

There is no way you can go wrong with jewelry. Wait, I take that back...make sure you know what she likes. There is a difference between gold, silver, platinum, etc...diamonds always work!

Maybe some flowers??? If your wife is anything like me than NO FLOWERS!! Be practical and get her a plant or bush that she can re-plant in the spring. I love Hydrangea's....just saying.

If you have children, certainly get at least a card for your kids to give to their Mommy! Encourage them to make homemade gifts for her. If your kids are a little older, a gift certificate for a mani-pedi would surely make her smile!

The best gift of all is time. Give your wife time alone. Space. A night off, no not on Valentines Day, under no circumstances should she cook on this special day...in fact just by ordering a pizza in will lighten her load and will be much appreciated!

Happy Almost Valentines Day....You have a week....GET IT DONE! GET SOMETHING!!!
