Earlier this week we offered up five suggestions to help women get what they want this Valentine’s Day, so we thought it was only fair to offer the men some suggestions as well! Last week we asked our Facebook Fans how they go about hinting towards their gift of choice for Valentine’s Day.
While a few offered up suggestions, we were surprised by how many women simply bought themselves whatever they wanted and thanked their husband for footing the bill. While efficient, it isn’t exactly romantic and we think guys need to put in some effort this year. Here are a few suggestions that will help even the clueless figure out the perfect gift to ensure romance (and brownie points) on Valentine’s Day.
Ask Her Friend For Help – This is a terrific approach on two fronts: The first obviously being that her female friend will more than likely have a far greater ability to recognize and select a present your significant other will actually like. The second, more long-term (and mildly selfish) strategy is that her friends can make terrific allies for you in the future and it never hurts to make a good impression with her girls.
Make Her Feel Unique – While most men like to play it safe, you might consider taking a small risk that might pay off. We have to stress: nothing over the top, but introducing some color and flair into the gift (based on her taste) shows confidence and understanding of her unique personality.
Web History – Short of being creepy, the occasional glance at your significant other’s web history can provide insight and gift ideas. Many women consider online browsing to be a recreational hobby and you might just get lucky.
Thought Trumps Price – As cheesy as the saying is, it’s really the thought that counts, especially when you take the time to figure out what she would want. Find something you know she’ll love that she probably wouldn’t buy herself. That doesn’t mean you have to spend an arm and a leg, just show that you listen and understand her and it’ll mean so much more.
Just Ask Her – This is a shockingly well-received approach for the man without a clue. Usually a good 10 ideas are in the chamber, just waiting for you to pull the trigger and ask… but let’s call this a last resort.
We know this is an overwhelming task, so always feel free to call in an expert. In fact, if she happens to like pearl jewelry, we are happy to help!
