Valentine’s Day: Real Gifts for HIM

Valentine’s Day is coming soon, and I’ve had a couple friends email me and ask me what I am going to give to Bob, and if I have any suggestion for men’s Valentine’s day gifts.

So here are my ideas. And, sorry, Bob, but I can’t hide the surprise from you anymore, and I hope you are happy because I am showing “my love to you in public.!”

I think before you pick a gift for your man, same thing as giving to anybody, you need to know that person well if you want the gift to reach his heart, and also meet his needs.

Bob has a simple style compare with mine, and he carries a lot of stuff everyday in his pockets — I always tease him, “Why don’t he carry a purse?” . . . Oh well, so now whenever I buy him clothes, “pockets” are the main concern. So here’s a fantastic leather jacket with more than enough pockets, inside and outside, from Andrew Marc.

About shoes, I actually let him choose this one(by G.H.Bass) himself. It’s funny things that in Chinese culture, couples don’t give shoes to each other , because they said the shoes will let your partner run away from you (in a fast way…haha). Don’t run away from me, Bob! But he loves these comfortable driving shoes.

Books are always good idea gifts — no risk about the size, and choose the books that fit his personally and habit. This is what Bob really enjoyed reading recently.

I love DIY notes, always. In the beginning of my new life in the U.S. , because I didn’t drive at that time, and I couldn’t easily go to the store buy cards for the holiday, I made cards myself at home, and Bob loves it. Some inspiration ideas for you: Red Bear made a candle card for me at my Birthday earlier this year, and he made a heart for me and Bob for this coming Valentine’s Day. How sweet!
