This is a suggested list of gifts which men would truly appreciate from their Valentine. This gift may not contain all romantic gift giving ideas, it also includes practical ideas. The key to remember is that a 'gift for him' should be something that he enjoys, not what you enjoy or what you believe he should enjoy.
One inexpensive gift idea is to give 'coupons' written by you. These coupons can be for any service you choose. For instance, you may wish to give a coupon for house cleaning service ( though this could end-up being too costly for you in terms of hard-work ), a coupon for hot meal cooked by you ( unless you can't cook, in which case please avoid this suggestion ), for a massage or for sex. Men love coupons for sex, especially if it's something that you'd not ordinarily do such as costume play or role-playing. Coupons can be a big hit with men. Best of all, these are personal gifts that he's sure to love.
In addition to coupons it's a great idea to send flowers. It's not just women who enjoy receiving a bouquet of lovely flowers. Men love to get flowers at work so that they can feel the envy of all their co-workers. It tells the office that this man is so lucky to have such a great woman that she cares enough to send him a gift.
As an alternative to flowers have a box of chocolates sent to your man. If your man has a sweet tooth then he'll love a box of his favorite chocolates, or a box of some rare chocolates that he's never had the pleasure of trying.
You may consider buying yourself something as a gift for him. This way both of you get a gift. By this I refer to erotic lingerie. Your man will just love to spend Valentine's Day with you as you model your new lingerie purchase for him. You may wish to shop online for some exotic lingerie as you can remain anonymous and don't have to be embarrassed being inside a love shop.
Another way to surprise your man is by giving him the gift of a romantic getaway with you. Imagine the look of surprise when you tell your Valentine that you've booked a romantic hotel getaway or cruise. Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to book that trip that you've been putting off. You can check Travelocity for hotel specials, romantic getaways and last minute specials. Book Air + Hotel together and SAVE with Travelocity
If you prefer more practical gifts rather than romantic gifts then you're safe with giving things like cologne or aftershave. One of the favorite gifts for men is anything electronic - if it requires batteries or has to be plugged in then he'll love it! You may consider giving dvds as a gift, just as long as it's not 'Beaches'.
For the sports man in your life be sure to give golf clubs, golf balls, country club getaways, skis, snowboards, hockey sticks or other sports equipment. For those who prefer to watch sports on tv get them sports collectibles.
Of course, if you're alone this Valentine's Day then don't sit at home waiting for the right guy to magically show up at your door step. It's time to find the right guy by trying the online dating. Meet men at Yahoo! Personals
