Whilst Valentine's day is meant to be an exciting and romantic time of year, many women find themselves spending the run-up to the holiday worrying about what gift to get their loved one. Whilst every man is different, rest assured that all men love receiving presents!
Because of this, it's worth spending the time to find that really special gift that will show him just how much he means to you. Here is a quick guide to doing just that:
What not to get your guy for Valentine's Day Before we get started, I think it's worthwhile to just go through a few ideas I'd suggest you leave on the shelves. Whilst this may be a bit of a generalization, I'd recommend you cross the following from your list:
Also, I should add at this point, buying a card is not a prerequisite. Even sending a sexy Valentine's text message is probably more powerful than a generic looking card you picked up at the supermarket.
What do men really want on Valentine's day? My first suggestion is to start with a man's weakness: His stomach. It's well known that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so breakfast in bed is a really good idea. Pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs.. You'll probably know what he likes to eat for breakfast, so make use of that insider information!
My next suggestion is to catch him by surprise. Yes, getting Call of Duty or the latest GTA instalment will go down well if your guy is into video games, but don't be too predictable.
Try and show him that you know him with your gift: One approach would be to pick something that he'd like, but that his mum wouldn't think to buy him.
Spending time together This can be a really great way to treat your man for Valentine's day, just make sure it doesn't backfire.
Don't go buying tickets to a ball game if you're going to be sitting there looking bored out of your head.
Try and pick something that you both genuinely enjoy, that way he will see how enthusiastic you can be about his passions. This will highlight how much you two have in common, and will remind him how lucky he is to have you.
Sexy Valentine's Day There are two days a year where not having sex is probably grounds for divorce: A man's birthday and Valentine's Day. The rules for Valentine's Day sex are as follows:

- Teddy-bear (even a teddy-bear of his favourite sports team is borderline).
- Chocolates
- Flowers
- A Kitten
- Poetry

Sexy Valentine's Day There are two days a year where not having sex is probably grounds for divorce: A man's birthday and Valentine's Day. The rules for Valentine's Day sex are as follows:
- 'His' sexy not 'your' sexy- Whilst you might find a hot bath with scented candles romantic, ask yourself whether that will genuinely turn him on?
- Keep it fun- Don't put too much pressure on yourself or him. If you don't enjoy it, it's unlikely he will either.
- Make it special- It may sound obvious, but try making Valentine's sex something he'll remember for the rest of the year. Maybe this will mean being a bit more experimental or even renting out a room somewhere nice for the night, the important thing is to avoid the 'routine sex'. If you feel like you and your man have similar sexual tastes, you don't even have to surprise him on this one. You could simply approach your man and say "you've got one night- anything goes" and see what he comes up with.
