Ah, Valentine’s Day. It’s here. And to be honest the most exciting part this year for me has been preparing my boys for their parties at school and seeing what treats they bring home, even though I still can’t eat anything. Which is also why hubby and I have vowed to celebrate at a later date- when I can, like, take a shower and actually go somewhere that smells like food.

Apparently many couples choose “Valentine’s Weekend” over the official “Valentine’s Day” and that gives you a bit more time to be last minute (and I’d imagine get some pretty good deals the day after V-day at Target & Walgreens- hello 90% off boxed chocolates!)

So, if you are still looking for some ideas for your man, here’s some affordable suggestions:

Speaking of Target, you can find Every Man Jack body products there- they smell great!- and there’s even a special Valentine’s 4-piece gift set for only $16. And trust me, this stuff looks expensive. Such a great deal.

Before I go on, I am realizing… who am I kidding? Do you really get your hubby more than a card- if that? Is he the only one supposed to give a gift? Isn’t this holiday all about the women? I am so out of practice here. I think maybe once I made a mixed CD for my hubby… I also think that the best gift I could give him now would be to take that shower.

So- do you give your man a Valentine’s present- and if so- what?? And if you’re a guy, do you really want anything we buy or make?
