Valentines Day Tip: There are 7 Things Your S.O. Really Wants for Valentine's Day ... and we know what they are. Take off your dubious hat and listen up. I know what I’m talking about, and I’m going to tell it the way you straight up, straightforward, no mincing words. They may have said, “Don’t get me anything.” They're lying. They may have said, “I don’t even like Valentine's Day.” Forget that. As a public service to all people in the internet vicinity, here are seven things to remember on Valentine's Day. 1) Do something. No matter how many times you two say you’re not going to celebrate, YOU are going to celebrate. Do something for Valentine's Day. No excuses. The end. 2) Think ahead. There are no passes offered for poor planning. No grocery-store-flowers-on-the-way-home-from-work will be accepted. Conjure an idea, hunt, shop, conquer, and have it ready by Valentine's Day morning. 3) Make it a surprise. You don’t have to break the bank, but give your special someone a little surprise. No gift cards, no kitchenware. It can be a book, a massage, dinner at a secret spot, photos, handmade, homemade, preordered, unpretentious — lots of options here. Just make sure you surprise and delight. Ten points. 4) Choose two of four things. Still don’t know what to get? Let’s make it easy. Keep these parameters for in mind: Go for 1) Old things or new things and 2) Little things or big things. Just pick one from each list and you’re golden. A vintage ring you picked up from Etsy? Yep. A shiny new bike? Sure. A mid-sized toaster oven from your neighbor's garage sale? Not so much. Capiche? 5) Use your handwriting. Write a personal note. Make it more than 8 words. 6) Use specifics. Write it or say it, tell your guy or gal EXACTLY why you love them this Valentine's Day. None of this “you’re my angel” stuff. Lay it down, “I love watching you when you’re watching Dexter. You’re just so pretty in the light of the T.V.” Seriously, go for details. 7) Get creative. No red roses. No box of chocolates. Switch it up this year. Show you care enough to get creative.
