It's pretty easy to buy for women... roses, teddies, perfume, chococlates, jewellery, etc.
However, what is there to give to men? Has anyone got any ideas for stuff for men that aren't too wussy? I'm looking for 'token' ideas, not weekend's away, etc.

I read on here the other day someone suggesting to give their boyfriend "vouchers" which was a really good idea - and which I am going to do myself. The OP recommended doing some coupons such as "IOU....a foot massage" or whatever. I thought it was a great idea and done my OH some that I have put in his card.

the way to a mans heart is through his stomach
like above i make hubby a fab 3 course meal on valentines,then an early night
hes not "into" presents" really and doesnt need anything
a nice idea is to make a mini hamper,line a basket with red tissue or cellophane then add little things he likes eg a bar / box of his fave chocs,fave alcoholic tipple etc etc0 -
We tend to either eat something special in, or go out for a meal. I usually buy something like his favourite dark chocolate with chilli and a small bottle of champagne (enough for an aperitif) It is a token present and I feel it is becoming too comercialised when the poor guy is encouraged to spend £40+ on perfume, £20+ on flowers, card, dinner etc.
We exchange cards, have a romantic meal or go somewhere special(last year we went for a run(in trainers) around swanage bay then went for dinner after - the stars were glorious) and exchange a small gift of something like perfumed candles, chocs, aperitif/liqueur miniatures etc.0 -

I always send my husband (at work) one single (very manly
) red rose, in a nice (very manly) vase.

For valentines day last year i got my other half some dog tags with our names engraved in them. I got the tags from an army shop for a fiver and the engraving cost a tenner. He loved it as he wants to go into the army. Fo something creative. But remember - valentines day is only one day of the year designed for companies to make money. So dont make it about moneyDebts: Gym £[strike]465.75[/strike] Student account [strike]£1039.88[/strike] Overdraft [strike]£129.00[/strike] Credit Card [strike]£2772.22[/strike] Loan [strike]£6222.01 [/strike]
