Valentine’s Day is looming closer… and you’re screwed. Your girl is expecting something nice, something that doesn’t scream “bought from the corner store on the way to your appartment”.
If she’s into big, expensive presents… you’re on your own there, you need to figure out if she wants an iPod, a new perfume, some jewelry or tickets to an exotic country.
For the rest, we’re here to help. Coming up, 8 affordable presents that will show her that you went that extra mile for something unique. Mix and match if you want, there’s nothing stopping you from getting more from the list!
1. You can’t go wrong with chocolate. But let’s admit it, she can buy all the fancy stuff for herself all year long! But I bet she never got a Chocolate Pizza before…
2. Breakfast is a whole ritual, and for many of us cookies simply cannot miss from the menu. The Valentine’s Edition Dunk Mug makes cookie-lovers’ lives a bit easier with the special compartment – and it comes in pink to match the occasion. (Unless she hates the color, in which case there’s a regular version you can go for.)
3. To fill the cup on Valentine’s morning, nothing could be better than some “You Warm my Heart” Hot Cocoa Mix. Delicious chocolate and floating marshmallow hearts, aww.
4. Still not enough sweets? There’s more! The Message Cookies spell out your feelings – literally. There’s nothing wrong with being cheesy if it shows her how much you love her!
5. If your girl leans towards the geek side, she might appreciate techy presents better than the usual beauty products. And because Valentine’s is a special occasion, get her the best of both worlds: a designer flash drive in a special “in love” edition. The Pink Meletta Mimobot is trendy and useful at the same time.
6. Wii fanatics are bound to love the Chocomiis. Two delicious chocolate figurines representing the happy couple… and you can even bite the other’s head off (in a very literal way) in case you get angry. Although we hope that, since you’re celebrating Valentine’s, you’ll try to keep a peaceful atmosphere.
7. Showing up in a Binary Love t-shirt, carrying a bouquet of flowers, can do more than any regular gift for a girl who’s passionate about her computers. How many people know how to write “love” in binary? You’ll be the only 2 people on the street who know the meaning. Even better, you can get matching t-shirts and reach the heights of geeky love.
8. At the end of the evening, celebrate in style. Sparkling Gold Cuvee is not just a fancy brand name – it actually has flakes of gold floating inside the bottle. It can’t get any better than this.
And there you have it. 8 ideas to get you through this February 14th. But remember: you shouldn’t save all the nice gestures for special occasions. It won’t hurt if you get her some special chocolate on a random Monday, will it?
I’ve been running into this t-shirt for the past few days, and the more I see it the more I like it.
