Ten Commandments of Valentine’s Day

Because Valentine’s Day is a special day, it is important that the gift you give your loved one is one that brings her joy, makes her feel appreciated, and lets her know that you bothered to find out what is truly special to them. Here are some tips to help.

1. Right ring size. This is really important. Get it right the first time. Take a ring that she wears often with you when you go to pick it out so you get it right the first time.

2. Right color. Know his or her special color. The color you know they like.

3. Right clothes size. Just because she looks like a size ten, don’t assume she is. This might make it your last Valentine’s Day together. Check out the sizes on the some of her favorite clothes before heading to the store.

4. Right perfume or aftershave. Both sexes need to get this right, too. Just because YOU like the smell doesn’t mean your date does. Take a whiff of what she is already wearing and try to stay in the same theme.

5. The right bouquet of flowers. Sometimes it’s nice to be a little different, so pay attention to what she has liked in the past. Get something unique. Not the same old roses everyone else is getting.

6. That little table in the corner. Candlelight and romance and THE RIGHT choice in the food that she likes. Pick a restaurant that has her favorite foods. Don’t assume she loves a good sirloin when she prefers the perfect fish dish.

7. Be adventurous. Take your lover to see a favorite film or buy him his favorite CD .

8. The SEXY underwear. Be sure you know what she will wear and what she won’t. You may think it looks great on that model in the store but be careful here. Remember GUYS: know her size.

9. Know your man. Ladies can make mistakes also, so be sure you know his collar size when buying a shirt.

10. Don’t assume: Know what your partner is into, what he like, and what he doesn’t. Look for little tips along the way. Encourage him to make a list or register on a wish list.
