Valentine's Day is just around the corner, guys! (I know, I can't forget that girls should also give their guys something, but this is an article about what to get your girl.) So what are you going to give your special someone? Have you thought about it? Or will you just buy her a dozen roses the day of and take her out to dinner. Not that there's anything wrong with that- since it's wonderful just to have a nice guy these days. But, what could really make her do a double-take, and think to herself, now that guy truly loves me?1. A gift of time. Are you always on the go and only see your girlfriend once or twice a week for a couple of hours? Take off one day, and spend the whole day with her. Do whatever she wants. Go shoe shopping, go to a girly movie. Tell her she can pick the plans that day. She won't forget this gesture of kindness.2. Help with housework. Does your girlfriend have a special project that she has never completed because she just isn't up for the task? Does she need a door replaced, or a window fixed, or something like that? Do it for her. Women find this incredibly sexy, and it also scores big bonus points because she never probably would have gotten it done.3. Free massage coupons for you to give her massages. Give her a hand-made coupon book for 30 free massages for 30 days. This will have more value than a dozen roses any day. She'll get to relax and unwind for a whole month straight and it won't cost you a penny!4. A brief getaway weekend to somewhere relaxing. Professional females, such as attorneys, don't have a lot of free time. And when they do, they've got all kinds of stuff to catch up on, so much so that sometimes, it's hard to relax. So, take her away for the weekend. You could go to a ski resort, a bed and breakfast, almost anywhere!
5. An engraved locket, with a picture of you inside. Need I say more?6. Let her use something of yours that you never let her use any other time. If she's been dying to try out driving your new car, let her take it for a spin. If she has to use your new camera, let her. This shows you that you trust her, and is better than any gift.7. 10 Free "I'm being ridiculous' passes. This means, 10 times you let her off the hook for being totally absurd and out of line. If she complains incessantly one night about wanting to see a chic flic, until she starts a temper tantrum, that's one. If the next night she gets rude with a female waiter who was flirting at you, through no fault of your own, that's two. You get the point. No matter how silly, she gets ten freebies.8. Something to help with her career. If she's trying to change jobs, get her free time with a resume-building service. Or, find someone to help her design new business cards if she has her own business.9. Romance. Make her dinner, buy the roses but put the petals everywhere, and burn scented candles. 10. Be someone other than yourself. If she says you're never nice to her, be extremely nice for a week. If you always complain, spend a week with no complaints. By Christi Bowers
