Attention Gents - Last minute Valentine's Day gift ideas!
Posted by Amy Kimball on Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Hallmark. Chocolate & Flowers. Red & Pink. These are a few choice words many of us associate with February 14th. Valentine's Day is supposedly a 24-hour period in which we express how much we love one another to significant others, friends, family members, pets and whatever else holds a prominent place in your heart. Here's the thing, though...expressing your love shouldn't be restricted to this day only. We, at Amy Kimball Events, challenge you to approach each day as though it were Valentine's Day.
If you are in a relationship, do keep the aforementioned statement in mind, but please fellas, don't forget the gift. In order to pick a gift for your girlfriend, fiance, wife, please follow these simple rules:
1. LISTEN. More often than not your significant other will mention things she wants, but will forget. Remember! Not only will you present something she wanted, but you'll also let her know that you've taken the time to listen.
2. WANT vs. NEED. There's a huge difference. Your significant other may have mentioned they need a new vacuum. Today is NOT the day to present this gift. In fact, no day is a good day to present this gift. Do not under any circumstance get your loved ones household items - it doesn't make us feel special. Always remember to give them something they want versus something they need.
3. THOUGHTFULNESS. Emails. Texts. BBM. Skype. Facetime. When it comes to communicating these days, it's easy to get lazy. Don't underestimate the importance of a card. Take the time to write out a thoughtful note on a handmade card. The note can be brief, but make the words count.
If you're shopping last minute and still clueless, here are a few things the jetsetting gals at Amy Kimball Events are loving right now:
