Yesterday Pork Chop and I made a Valentines box for his classroom. We took a shoe box, wrapped it in brown paper and colored on it. Well when Mama came home and saw it she said, “You are not as good as the best Stay At Home Mom!!!!!, I can’t believe…” Well you can imagine the rest. So Pork Chop and I will be redoing the box this afternoon. We will be making a cool alligator that opens up and has teeth! Much better. While looking for ideas I saw this awesome idea.

 

 

Here is the link to the site where I found it.

I will send a picture of the Valentine Eating Alligator once we are done this afternoon!

 

Great idea!

Valentines is a holiday that you love to hate. The stress of picking out that perfect gift for your sweetie can be overwhelming.

 

In my years of dating(1989-1994) and marriage(1994-NOW) for a total of 21 years,  I have had some hits and some flops! I have of course sent the standard dozen red roses and those are good. The problem with roses is that they wilt and die. What does that say about your loving relationship. Here today, gone tomorrow?

 

I have given lingerie, not so good.  Let your sweetie buy her own lingerie! If you give her some new skimpies then she will think that you are really gifting yourself! You are selfish and well only thinking about one thing!

 

So, I move on to jewelry. Jewelry is nearly always a winner. Now I am not saying that you need to take out a loan every Valentines day. You do not have to spend a huge amount on it. Just make it meaningful and a good value.

 

You can go expensive like Tiffany’s or you can go with a great value from one of my site sponsors, BlueDial.com . They have some great deals on Citizen Eco Drive Ladies Watches.

 

My personal favorite from there this year is the Citizen Purse Charm watch below.

 

If you are a female, guys are so easy to please. You can go the easy route and choose the lingerie option from above. That one is always a winner for guys, as long as you are the one wearing the lingerie and not him!

 

Or you can choose something from BlueDial.com . Take a look at my previous post “Watch Envy”.

 

Finally electronics are always good, but once again you can really break the bank here and most of the time he will have researched the device for many hours and you might not get the exact one that he wanted.

 

I hope that these gift giving ideas help you on this very important day!
