When it comes to a new romance, the last thing a girl wants to do is scare the poor guy away. What kind of gift can you get that says: "Wow, I think you're great", without being too "I love you so much already and we've only been dating less than a month"? Here's a few fun Valentine's Day Gift Basket ideas to kick around that won't make him want to kick you to the curb!
What not to Get Him:
Flowers: Flowers are just too girly for most guys - he won't appreciate them, forget to change the water and will generally think you're strange. Let him buy you flowers.
Sappy Love Stories via books or films: Again, most guys simply won't appreciate these types of gifts. You can rent the movie sometime, but it will get lost on a shelf somewhere if you buy it.
A gift certificate to McDonalds: Do you really want your guy super-sized? To keep him buff - hold the fries, please.
A subscription to Maxim: Are you for real? Those girls sure aren't and you don't want him comparing them to you, even if you are a hottie!
Why not toss around some fun gift basket ideas along the lines of his interests - like golf, fishing, football, beer or wine related gifts, Las Vegas gift baskets, gifts for chocolate lovers, or luxury food gourmet gift baskets?
Simply enclose a nice card, not with a super sappy love poem but with something lighthearted and sweet.
Perhaps you've heard of the poet Rumi. Here's one you may like to use:
The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you
not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.
- Rumi
