If you're still wondering what to get your honey bunny for Valentine's Day, rest assuredhe really is the simple creature he claims to be when it comes to receiving gifts. I asked several male friends to reveal their ideas of romantic offerings. By and large they have nothing to do with flowers ("Ugh, completely impracticalT one complained), chocolates or stuffed bears. So bypass the things you like and pick up one of the following:
Home Cooking
If your boo has been good to you, save the hassle of going out and throw down in the kitchen. "There's nothing a man loves more than good food and good sex," a male friend promised me. You take care of the former, then let him take care of the latter.
Sporting Event Tickets
It's a rare man who isn't into watching a ball being tiffany silver, kicked or hit in person. Buy tickets for your guy's favorite team and deliver them in a card on V-Day.
iPod Shuffle
Make this hard drive special by uploading it with a complete dlscography of his favorite artist or band. Bonus: Order online and have his Shuffle engraved with a special message for free.
Kicks
There is never a bad time to buy your man sneakers, and you can't go wrong with a pair of dunks. Nikeid.com lets you customize the shoe in your man's favorite colors or add his nickname to the heel.
A Massage
If your guy's stressed, get him a relaxing deep tissue tiffanys. On a budget? Pick up a chocolate-scented massage oil , and lay him down in the living room.
