A couple of days ago, I’ve written tips onInexpensive Valentine’s Day Gifts for boyfriends and husbands. This time, I would be sharing to you winning ideas on what a boyfriend, husband or even a suitor may give his lady love this valentines.

  • Anything Sweet and Nice. In this category, the traditional flowers and chocolates are still considered winners, only if there’s a twist. It is still fun receiving flowers and chocolates on v-day but really boring and not exciting anymore. But don’t despair, the roses and ferrero trick would still work if you modify the way it was given. Examples? Hmmm… if all this time, you have been personally giving the flowers to your honey, this time, have it delivered! Nothing beats a woman’s moment where all eyes are on her because she was handed a bouquet of flowers from a delivery man. And oh, don’t forget your handwritten card with your truly sweet message on it!

  • Anything Cute and Adorable. Women always love receiving cute and adorable stuff. It need not be expensive also. Classic example of items that falls in this category are the huggable stuf toys (it may sound old school but women still love hugging stuff toys from lovers) but makes sure, the size of the stuff toy is indeed for hugging and not looking. For modification, you may give a stuff toy with some blings on it (didn’t i say women love blings?) like matching bracelet and necklace. You may also put a tag on the cute thing’s neck with a message like “Her name is ____, and she’s here to always remind you how much I adore you.”

    Since I’ve bought him an expensive shirt last Christmas and I’m short of budget, I’l vouch for the latter — my valentines day gift would be a personalized one. :)

    And of course, if you would opt to give your honey a personalized treat, then better start thinking now! Let me share with you some fantastic personalized and inexpensive ideas that would melt and fire the passion in your romance this Valentines.

  • A Personal Massage and Other Treats Coupons. A couple of years back, I thought of a really sweet and innovative birthday present for my husband. I designed and printed coupons from my computer that offers full-body massage, foot spa treat, free carwash, and “extra services” deemed by the holder (*wink). Read more

      Lad Madrigal: Nakakatuwa, napaka informative at talagang helpful ang blog mo. Rating: 11 out of 10 haha.
      Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan. He belongs to a very rare breed of public officials that really walk the talk. I think he deserves all the support he can get from Filipinos. :D
      Dennis: I was once a passerby, ngaun mukang magiging regular reader at “avid fan” na din! hahaha!

      Lotus Flower: Happy Marikina Day to you. Aren’t you glad to be part of this quaint but definitely bustling and progressive city? I am :-)
      Meeh: Maituturing na ang marikina ay nakilala sa paggawa ng mga dekalidad na sapatos na nagdala sa ating lugar upang makilala sa ibang panig ng pilipinas at sa ibang bansa…at ipinagmamalaki ko na ako ay isang marikenya…mabuhay!
      Tapsiboy: Marikina is my happy and comfort place.
