“Ohhhh, a teddy bear,” said the mid-twenties girl to her fully-grown adult boyfriend. “Th.th..thank you?” Unfortunately, this tragic scene will once again be played out over and over again this Valentine’s Day. Unaware men and women of all kinds will wander into the stores or shopping websites with one idea “I just need to get… something.”
Gentlemen, this is not the way to go. And ladies, you know this special occasion calls for something at least a little more meaningful. No, you don’t need to hand make something elaborate or personalized, but why not spruce up this year’s gift to something beyond the ordinary chocolates, roses, perfume, blah, blah, blah boringness?
It doesn’t have to be extravagant, but a touch of originality is always a pleasant surprise. So put a little oomph in your gift giving this Valentine’s Day and make an impression he or she will remember for years.
