Gentlemen! - Top 10 No-No's for Valentine's Day Presents
Watford, England ( Newdesignworld ) February 15, 2009 - Well, it's that time of year again! You already know you need to show your loved one how much you care with another new, novel idea. But the road to a loving Valentine's Day is paved with trap doors, obstacles and possibly the scars of last year's attempt at the perfect (http://www.echemist.co.uk/valentines/gifts.aspx) Valentine’s Day present. So, as a helping hand to all those needing a bit of guidance, here are eChemist’s top 10 no-no's to steer you clear of faux-pas. If you are thinking of trying one of these, our only advice is ‘just don’t do it’
1. Red, lacy, crotchless and clearly too small; lingerie is always going to be a difficult one to get right. Even women tend to change their minds on this score. Clearly, worse would be red, lacy, crotchless and too big, but either way this is going to be nigh on impossible to get right. Best avoid this one!
2. Cookery items, such as breadmakers, have to be the second definite no-no on the list of romantic mood breakers. Will she really appreciate being 'effectively' asked to bake fresh bread on demand and on top of the daily grind?
3. Number 2 is swiftly followed by ‘lawnmowers’ and it really doesn't need explaining. Yes, it is true; one unfortunate man gave the romantic gift of a lawnmower for Valentine's!
4. Still on the appliance theme, steam irons and vacuum cleaners fall into the unromantic category and should be avoided at all costs.
5. A ploughman's, a burger or a jacket spud down the local over the newspaper or, even worse, whilst watching the footie might seem like the perfect way to spend your evening. The likelihood, though, is that she might not enjoy it so much - get ready to spend the night in the car rather than in your home if you opt for this one!
6. You might still be best of mates with your ex but she will never be. Buying the (http://www.echemist.co.uk/Category.aspx?Category=150) perfume that your ex wears or the same jewellery that you bought her last year might actually mean you'll be seeking a new Valentine next year. Perfume - good, your ex's perfume - very, very, very bad.
7. Now, you may like football, or another sport, in fact this is practically a given. But she knows you like football too. Buying her tickets to watch your fav’ team perform their stuff outside in the freezing February fog is most definitely going to be seen through as a present for you rather than them.
8. We know that women have a stack of anti-wrinkle, anti-circle, anti-sag, anti-spot, anti-this and that creams in their bathroom cabinets. This, however, is not a sign that it (or you) would be lovingly adored on Valentine's Day. (http://www.echemist.co.uk/Category.aspx?Category=269) Pampering creams, luxurious bathing and sumptuous body care ranges would be the better, and the less painful, choice.
9. We all love our mums but remember not to bring her to your candlelit dinner, at least not to this particular dinner. 364 other days in the year mean that this is an easy one to get right on the night. Dinner, yes, invitees, no.
10. Finally, the sin of all sins has to be the 'nothing' gift. Don't fall into the trap of 'you don't need to get me anything'. You do and you should!
So, forewarned, all you need do now is relax, follow our tops tips above and enjoy the evening of the 'amoureux'.
