6 Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Women To Give Men

So one of my female co-workers and I were talking about how V-day (February 14) is next week! But what should girls give a guy? Here's six great ideas of stuff you can do for a guy that is NOT sexual favors related.

1
Get out of jail free card.
This card can be redeemed for amnesty in situations such as "(name) forgot to do (chore/task)", "(name) did (stupid thing)", or "(name) doesn't have to attend (function he complains about)."
Make it specific make it vague your call, but make it worth it. “Forgot to brush his teeth” would be lame.
2
Get him drunk!
Alcohol whether a bottle of his favorite kind of booze or an open bar tab that he doesn't pay for on a night out. Guys are ALWAYS buying drinks. One night or one bottle wouldn’t hurt, right?
3
Give him a massage
Getting a back massage from you. Sure a couple’s massage would be nice, but there's something to be said for the woman you love rubbing the ache's and pains out of your day and not some stranger at the salon. (Disclaimer: professional massages are amazing too.)
4
Alone time together.
No work, no errands, no obligations, no schedule. Just a day spent enjoying each other's company. Guys in love need one thing, you.
5
Feed him.
Cook his favorite food for him. This one is kinda self explanatory.
6
Last Resort
Offer to act as if Valentine's day doesn't exist. That’s right, no Valentines Day presents for you. This would be the ULTIMATE sacrifice on your part.

If he insists that you don’t have to get him ANYTHING, consider this.

Guys have been conditioned by the advertising and societity to think that Valentines day is all about the woman. And it is really. The guy has to pull out all the stops he can afford to do nice things for the woman he loves. Flowers, candy, dinner, dancing and such. However we do it not out of love but out of duty and feel like the hard work is taken for granted.

Make sure you make a point of letting him how thankful you are for the Valentine's Day he gave you. That you appreciate the effort he made don't just take it all for granted. Do something for him that says "Thank you for being an awesome boyfriend." Feed his inner white knight a little.

Even if he does something super small, if you show him you are appreciative of his efforts how much harder will he try next year when he sees. ‘Hey, this isn’t just a holiday manufactured to spend money. She, actually likes all this silly sappy stuff.’
