I run into the same problem every year and it's that time again! I need the help of my fellow myloters! What do you get men for valentines day? Gifts for girls are easy, but what do men like?

For Valentine's Day... as well as any other "celebration" day... he buys me pretty jewelry and flowers and I usually buy him a goofy gift (funny boxers/pajama pants, a new hat, a piggy bank that farts when you put quarters in it, signs for the garage, etc) and then I plan our night. I make our reservations at a hotel or restaraunt that I know he'll love! And I take care of the (dinner) bill... if we do a hotel, then it comes out of our joint account, not our pocket money/ haha I don't know about most men... but as far as my man goes, as long as we plan something together, that's all he's worried about! =)

It depends on interests. Try with something valuable! But you should know that valuable do not mean expensive all time :) Try something special, something connected to your relations. If you can remember something he wanted or talked about, try to surprise him. The good surprise is always the best gift and way to reach the heart of somebody! Good luck !

ahha the element of surprise..that is a good idea, maybe i'll dress up and pretend to rob him but when he pulls out his wallet i'll tell him all i wanted was a kiss lol!

i have the same problem too.... what am i going to give my wife this valentines day. my wife is a good thinker when it somes to gifts. last year she gave me a necklace made out of leather and the pendant is a bass guitar. i play bass in a band so i was really happy when i got my gift. i got her an adidas triangle bag that she uses everytime we go out. this year i dont know what to give. well i guess give something that brings out the traits of your guy. dvd of movies he likes to watch maybe, a messenger bag (my wife gave me a messenger bag on my borthday). its easier to help you out if you posted what your guy likes and enjoys. welcome to the wonderful world of mylot lily hope you enjoy it here

Good for you for planning your man a special v-day so far in advance. I agree with you it's easy for men; girls like flowers. (duh) Personally I think sugar is a sure way to a man's heart.

If you haven't been together than long or it's your first Valentine's Day together then something like a framed picture of the two of you is always nice. In the past I've given things like a new wallet and put pictures in the picture slots. Just little things are usually the best. If you're really stumped and can't think of a gift then buying some new, fun lingerie for you is always a great gift for him too!

It depends on how long you've been together. I've been with the love of my life for a good amount of time - so I pretty much know what gets him off. From tools to car shows - stuff like that. That's what I typically give him. SO my $0.02 - get to know him some more and find out what he likes. I'm sure you'll find something. And if all else fails - framed pictures of shared memories is always a safe gift. Good luck!
