Top 5 Valentine’s Day Gifts For Men in 2012
2012 Valentine’s Day is coming!
Have you decided what to buy for your guy, another tie? No, that’s too bad since he has had enough ties. What he need and want is something a bit different. Here are five of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for men.
1. Most Thrifty: A stay-at-home movie night with all his films
Gifts do not have to be expensive, sometimes the most touching gifts don’t have to cost any money at all. This is as true for males as it is for females. An almost cost-free Valentine’s gift is a night of stay-at-home films. The catch is that all the movies that you watch have to be ones that he chooses, regardless of whether they are action, horror or whatever they desire. A further addition would be to stock a coffee table with a wide range of male-oriented snacks. Some suggestions are pizza, pretzels, beer and chips.
2. Most Unique: Dog collar with a bottle opener
This unusual (and cheap) gift is a bit of fun for any man with a dog and also serves a practical purpose. Dogs are often perceived as man’s best friend, and many spend warm afternoons in the weekend outside relaxing with a beer while their family is around them. What better way to combine two activities into one? The man can teach the dog to fetch beer from the cooler and then open it on the dogs return. Furthermore, he will never lose his bottle opener again – hopefully.
3. For the Sporting Fan: Tabletop foosball table
For a man who is into sports game or socializing, one entertaining gift that will keep everyone amused for hours on end is tabletop foosball. This two (or four)-player game is one that many males (and females) enjoy, and it can be a way of letting out aggression or frustration after a long day at work.
4. Most Decadent: Chocolate galore
Boxes of chocolate are a traditional Valentine’s gift for women, and a little spin on this approach makes for a perfect gift for a male. Find a medium sized basket or bucket, such as a bucket that is used to cool champagne. Fill the bottom half of the bucket with something relatively inexpensive that takes up a lot of room. For example you could use cellophane or packing material, but another approach would be to use marshmallows or peanuts in their shells, which then become part of the present. Fill the remainder of the box up with the man’s favorite chocolates large chunky ones are best. Try things like rocky road bars, blocks of chocolate, chocolate covered fruit or nuts and even chocolate cookies. An interesting addition is to use chocolate flavored alcohols such as liqueurs.
5. Best personalized gift: Engraved watch
Personalized gifts are a fantastic way of showing someone you care for them, while at the same point providing something that is useful for them. One special personalized gift that you can give on Valentine’s Day is a watch. There are many men’s watches available, and they vary in just about every way imaginable. Knowing your loved one well will normally give you an indication of what type of watch they will be interested in, as some men will prefer a sports watch while others will look for something more elegant. Most watches have an area where it is possible to get initials or a message engraved. There is sufficient room to have a message engraved there, whether it is a simple ‘I love you’ or something more personal to both of you.
These gifts are just a small selection of ideas out of many that are available to give to men for Valentine’s Day. Something a little unusual or unexpected is likely to be much more appreciated than a card and shows that they are being thought about.
Valentine’s Day Is Coming Soon!
“In this valentine, there are so many gifts that we can give to our significant someone, but I believe that our special someone want it to be very special and unique, In my part, I have composed a POEM for her, I think this is a very unique gift, it’s up to me on the place.”–Chaucer.
Freedom and Love
How delicious is the winning
Of a kiss at love’s beginning,
When two mutual hearts are sighing
For the knot there’s no untying!
Yet remember, ‘midst your wooing
Love has bliss, but Love has ruing;
Other smiles may make you fickle,
Tears for other charms may trickle.
Love he comes and Love he tarries
Just as fate or fancy carries;
Longest stays, when sorest chidden;
Laughs and flies, when press’d and bidden.
Bind the sea to slumber stilly,
Bind its odour to the lily,
Bind the aspen ne’er to quiver,
Then bind Love to last for ever.
Love’s a fire that needs renewal
Of fresh beauty for its fuel;
Love’s wing moults when caged and captured,
Only free, he soars enraptured.
Can you keep the bees from ranging,
Or the ringdove’s neck from changing?
No! nor fetter’d Love from dying
In the knot there’s no untying.
I Love You
I love you
because the Earth turns round the sun
because the North wind blows north
sometimes
because the Pope is Catholic
and most Rabbis Jewish
because winters flow into springs
and the air clears after a storm
She Walks In Beauty
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade more, one ray less,
Had half impair’d the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
To My Guy
I ran out of ways to tell you I love the clothes you wear.
Can’t picture going a whole day without the smell of your hair.
Vanessa, why do I love you so much?
I’d pick your lips over a Reese Peanut Butter Cup.
Why has god taken us down these roads this way?
Is it to the end or to another gate?
You know that I’ll do anything for you.
Never will I pressure you to say the words “I DO”.
But before the devil has a chance to draw a line,
I thank god everyday that you are mine.
Why
WHY?
Why am I sitting here wanting to cry
Why am I feeling your love wants to die
This pain that your feeling, I can feel it too
I believe it’s because we are one, united, me and you
I’ve tried to imagine life without you near
It’s only left me sad, lonely and my heart full of fear
What would I do, who would I become
I know that if I lost you my heart would only run.
Run back to you just like from the start,
Run back to Katy the girl who has won my heart.
love!
the years are going by so fast
and our love will always last,
our ups and downs
the way we care
the love together we will always share,
the two lovely children
we call our own
which is what has made our happy home,
without each other we wouldn’t be
a happy little family,
it’s love that draws 2 people close
that’s why I love you the most!
Good Ideas For Buying a Last-minute Jewelry Gift
This time of year is always crazy, right?
Need help trying to figure out what the heck to do for those last minute gift items?
Well, by golly, Let’s go!
1)Take cues from the contents of a woman’s jewelry box. Note whether she tends to favor yellow gold or a white metal such as silver or platinum.
If her style is traditional, consider diamond stud earrings or a pearl necklace. If it’s more fashion-forward, consider chandelier earrings or cocktail rings.
2)Avoid 10-karat or 24-karat gold. Pure 24-karat gold is too soft for everyday wear, and 10-karat gold doesn’t have enough gold content to be acceptable for fine jewelry.
3)Don’t bow to high-pressure salespeople. A little bit of research can save you hundreds of dollars, especially on diamonds.
4)Make sure the retailer has a good return policy. Some jewelers allow returns for only 24 hours; others may not accept returns.
5)Consider sterling silver jewelry or freshwater pearls to save money. Gemstone and some diamond pendants may also be more affordable. Diamond stud earrings and eternity rings are a classic choice for a bit more money.
6)Save about 50-75% if you opt for black diamond. Look for black diamonds with a consistent exterior and no visible blemishes.

What to gift my bf on Valentine’s Day?
Q: My boyfriend’s birthday and valentine’s are both coming in feb(diff dates) so I wanna know what should I give him on valentine’s day. I am gifting him a classic pen on his birthday but I am very confused about valentine. I never had a boyfriend before and I don’t know what gays gift their bfs on Valentine’s Day. He is ALLERGIC to rose and other flowers 
….what should I gift him now…
A: Hmm. Valentine’s day gift for men are always difficult to choose. Cologne, a fancy dinner, wrist watch etc… The list can go on. But it all depends on what he will appreciate more. something he can use and something he can remember. Well, for me, it’s easy because my husband is not too keen about valentine’s day gifts, but I always get him something he’ll need and that will remind him of the day. I think his collection is getting bigger (12 years of marriage + 5 dating).
I will suggest that you get him something that will remind him of Valentine’s day and at the same time something he can use. A coffee mug, phone case or something within the lines. It doesn’t have to be too expensive ( There is no amount of money that can express love), just thoughtful.
How about this?
Good Luck!.
