Ode To Valentine's Day - Valentine Ideas for HIM

Though I often think cupid was drunk a few times when he shot me in the arse, the truth is, I've never had a problem with Valentine's Day.

As a little girl, I loved the color pink. Not hot pink, but that powdery carnation pink, also known as, girl pink. I also found hearts to be the prettiest doodle known to mankind, second only to the flower. 

I also have always been boy crazy. 

Needless to say, I love to be in love. Maybe it is because I am an Aquarius. We don't love many, but when we love, we tend to do it with a fiercely loyal passion like no other. Or maybe it is because I like myself better when I am in love. I've had numerous crushes throughout my life time, dozens of boyfriends, and heck, just toss two husbands into the mix. Yes, cupid's arrow has found its way into my heart a time or two.

I've always found Valentine's Day to be a very cheeky holiday. Fun, flirty, and full of surprises. Perhaps someone reveals their undying love for you, or maybe it forces you to make that certain someone feel special again, even if for only a day. I, for one, can't remember a Valentine's Day that was horrible. Sure, I've been single during the holiday before..

Umm...

 Haven't I?

Well.. regardless, it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom for the single folks out there. Nor does it have to be redundant and cheesy for the lovers. 

I found a few cool ides for all of us, regardless of your plight!

Valentine for Him - The Sensual Gift/Senses

 Here is a fantastic idea from the blog: What's On My Porch. (You can click through from the picture.) It's sort of a flirty, fun way to get your guy something unique that you can both enjoy! Make sure to click through and see the suggestions. 

The next one I found is really very cool and I think something most guys would enjoy: A Boudoir Book.

 I got this idea from My Bridal Pics (click thru for details.) This website shows a complete tutorial on how to create one. What a fantastic idea... if you are brave enough!

From the blog - Frugal Maine, another cool idea (especially if you are on a budget,) is to create a "love variety pack" of letters, coupons, etc. I find this gift in particular to be very thoughtful. Very nice idea, and would definitely set you a part. 

Ever read the book, "The Five Love Languages," by Gary Chapman. Here is a great idea if you guy's love language is "Words of Affirmation."

Finally, I have one little idea left.
