Netflix Trial Membership: Download a trial Netflix membership and indulge in his favorite action movie (and maybe a Romantic comedy for later). Price? Free.
Candy With a Message: Give him a suggestive bag of candy. Obviously Hershey’s Kisses aren’t a bad thing; after all, they’re the LBD of Valentine’s Day gifts. For a retro gift, try Now & Laters, and sign them with a cute card that says, “I want to kiss you Now & Later.” Or spice it up with Red Hots and say, “You make me red hot.” All for less than $5.
Kama Sutra To-Go: Download the Kama Sutra App on his iPhone. Enough said (and it’s free.)
His Domain Name: Claim your domain. Reserve his domain name (or yours as a couple, if you’re that kind of official) and own your own little corner of the web for life. As long as your names aren’t Madonna or Kanye, GoDaddy.com has tons of them for $12 or less.
A Growler of Beer: Put him in good spirits. Fill a growler with his favorite draft beer (Whole Foods has some excellent microbrews for under $12) for a treat that’s yummy and eco-friendly. Personalize the bottle with colored sharpies and he’ll want to fill it again and again.
The Gift of Song: Steal his phone while he’s in the shower and download “your song” as his new ringtone. Then call him and…surprise! Aww. $1.29 or less from iTunes.
Splurge:
Mix Tape USB: Make him a faux mix tape. Surprise, it’s actually a USB you can fill up with Kanye, The Samples or whatever his favorite jam is. If you’re like us, a “mix tape” joke has come up somehow in your relationship. Be that saucy girl and get a tongue-and-cheek gift that’s a wee bit more expensive, but thoughtful and you’ll have a “talker” story to tell next time you’re at the ‘rents house. Available from Amazon for $23.27.
Great read! I absolutely love that “your song” ringtone idea! It’s so sweet and works out perfectly since I actually found a remix of it that he really enjoys. It was just the unique idea I was looking for, thanks! He’s also been mentioning a gadget he’s wanted for a while now too, so I think I’m going to get that for him as well. My co-worker at Dish mentioned that it just dropped in price too for only $30 now instead of $99, so I figured now would be the best time to pick it up for him. He’s a TV addict that travels a lot for business, so purchasing the Sling Adapter from Dish I think is a great idea! With that and the free Dish Remote Access app he already has on his iPad, he’ll be able to watch all of our subscribed programming live or recorded anywhere he is in the world on his mobile device. I know it’s going to be wonderful Valentine’s Day for him and I’m excited to see what he has in store for me!
