I was of the understanding that Valentine’s Day was a celebration where couples exchanged gifts as a sign of their mutual love for each other. ?Though it seems to be evolving into a one way exchange where guy’s are buying gifts for their girlfriends with little hope of receiving something in return.<\/p>\n

Of course, guys expect<\/em> something in return, but it’s not a physical gift you can just go into a store and purchase on credit card. ?Guys prefer to be shown appreciation in other ways.<\/p>\n

Examples of Valentine’s Day fails are everywhere particularly with autocorrect<\/a>?but here’s a few things I’ve learned about giving gifts.<\/p>\n

It’s the gift that counts. ?All that crap about the thought is just that – crap. ?It’s like when she says ‘do whatever the hell you want’. ?It doesn’t mean you can smoke cigars in the house, spend the kids college education money on a Harley or anything like that. ?It’s actually a threat. ?She means ‘if you do that, I will tear your balls out with rusty pliers’.<\/p>\n

Same with the Valentine’s Day gift. ?Don’t buy her fake flowers, buy the real ones. ?You know, the $100 bunch that will wither and die within the week – much like your sex life if you get her the fake ones. ?And don’t get them from the local cemetery.<\/p>\n

Chocolates are a great gift but make sure they’re top quality and something she<\/em> likes – not what you<\/em> like. ?Also, make sure they’re not ‘low fat’ or sugar free and don’t include a gym membership. ?In fact, don’t ever give a gym membership to your girlfriend \/ wife for reasons you should understand.<\/p>\n

Lingerie is popular gift too, but it doesn’t have to be red!?<\/em>Something skimpy and sexy is great but she really wants something that is comfortable too.?<\/em>Take a bit of time to investigate before you wander into your local lingerie store or shop online. ?Get the sizes of what she already has in the lingerie draw so there’s a better chance of getting the right size. ?And it doesn’t have to be a crotchless thong and peekaboo bra. ?Something tasteful and understated can be sexy too and she’ll realize you put some thought into it.<\/p>\n

For guys, of course we recommend our lingerie. ?We’re seeing the popularity of sexy underwear for men growing year on year and Valentine’s Day is a great reason to give it a try. ?I’m sure there will be plenty of newbies getting something sexy this year saying ‘it seems so wrong but it feels soooo good’!<\/p>\n

So ladies, take our advise and get him some underwear that’s fun and sexy and comfortable. ?You’ll want them for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
