Valentine’s Day in America is a scary time in relationships. Men and women operate in different dimensions of reality. What to do? Get a gift? Or not? Flowers? No Flowers? She said don’t bother , but is it safe to honor her wishes? Is it safe to ignore here wishes? I have a couple of life lessons on this matter that might help.

Valentine’s Day Gifts for a New Relationship

Let him or her know that you’re thinking of him or her on Valentine’s Day with a sweet card that is just simple or funny, rather than romantic. Add a small present, like a candle or bottle of his or her liquor or wine of choice. These gifts are thoughtful without being too intense.

Valentine’s Day Gift for a Serious Relationship

You have now know stuff about each other. Find something that you truly know your significant other will love. For example, if your girlfriend is a huge baseball fan, get seats for a game and plan a date around the event. If you know your boyfriend’s favorite band will be in town soon, spring for a pair of tickets – even if they’re not your favorite band!

Valentine’s Day Gifts for a Long Term Relationship

Chances are, by this point in your relationship you’ve traded lavish date nights for cozy Fridays on the couch together. You want to make sure all romance hasn’t gone out the window! Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to splurge a bit on your significant other with a gift like jewelry or a watch. If these things don’t strike your partner’s fancy, you can always spring for an item that you know your significant other has had his or her eye on, but thinks is too pricey or lavish to buy for his or her self. Use this day each year to let the person who’s been with you through thick or thin know how much you appreciate him or her.
