Valentine’s Day gifts can be a tricky thing.  Sure you are going to appreciate whatever he gives you, but let’s be honest… it’s not always the thought that counts.  Everyone here at Honora (As well as a few of our Facebook and Twitter Friends) wanted to offer up a few suggestions for getting that perfect present this Valentine’s Day (even if that doesn’t happen to be our colorful Freshwater Pearl jewelry).

Tell Your Friends – A trusted best friend always knows what her bestie (that is best friend for any guys who might read this) wants or needs.  If you know that your significant other has a good relationship with one of your friends, than it is a safe bet that this is one of the first places he is likely to go.

Web History Is Your Friend – While guys often go out of their way to hide their browsing history, this can be an ideal way for you to drop a hint.  Making sure that ideal gift is high up on your browsing history (you may even want to stop by that page a few times) can go a long way towards getting a gift suggestion on his radar.

Point It Out – If you are out and shopping with your significant other and see something you might like, point it out.  We wont lie, these “subtle” hints can often get missed by husbands and boyfriends, but occasionally they take note and will think back to those moments when figuring out what to get you.

Ask Him What He Wants – It is almost a given that once you ask, he will undoubtedly ask you in return.  While this is a bit underhanded, it is effective and also helps you figure out exactly what he is looking for as well.  That is certainly a win/win for everyone!

Just Tell Him – This really depends on the kind of relationship you have with your loved one, but often times simply telling them what you want can take a lot of pressure off of them and help you get that perfect present.  More often than not, he will appreciate the direction!

BONUS TIP: Just Buy It – This one comes courtesy of all of our friends on The Honora Facebook Fan Page.  We thought we were bold, but we have nothing on these savvy ladies.  They just buy exactly what they want and thank their husbands when it arrives!  So kudos to women who know what they want and know how to get it!

It’s not an exact science, but maybe, just maybe our collective wisdom will help you get that perfect gift this year.  Ladies, if you feel that your guy is going to need a bit of extra help, rest assured that we are going to be offering some suggestions that you can pass along to him a little later this week!  If you have any suggestions we may have left off, be sure to leave them in the comments section!
