Valentine's Day is generally a gender-biased holiday, not that many women are complaining about it. Many of these same lucky women are showered with diamonds, flowers, chocolates and all the other traditional gifts associated with this romantic holiday. The only unfortunate downfall for several women becomes evident when it's time to shop for a boyfriend gift. Instead of scouring your local drug store for the last minute, pre-packaged Valentine's Day gifts, think ahead and offer up any of these cute ideas, from gift baskets to specialized t-shirts.
MP3 Player
Purchase an MP3 player and load it with romantic songs that express your feelings. Mix up the music and add something sweet, including songs that mean something to your relationship. Also be sure to throw in some fun and silly songs to lighten things up. Mix the songs together, but leave your boyfriend a note stating that the final song on the playlist is your love song. If you don't already have a song, don't worry. Take this opportunity to turn this cute Valentine's Day gift idea for your boyfriend into way to show your love through the poetry of music.
Edible Arrangements
Valentine's Day is generally a holiday of sweets and indulgences, from boxed candies to heart shaped cookies. If you have a health-conscious boyfriend he may not want to indulge in too many of these sweet treats. Show him you admire and support his decision to live a healthy lifestyle by giving him a fruit bouquet from Edible Arrangements. Don't forget that the Valentines day gift baskets from Edible Arrangements also offer you the opportunity infuse a bit of decadence by including chocolate covered strawberries in the otherwise sweet, healthy treat. Include other little goodies for your boyfriend inside the Valentines day gift baskets, including a romantic coupon book, tickets to a sporting event or any other little treat that shows your boyfriend how much you care.
Photo T-shirt
Create a cheesy, romantic T-shirt featuring a picture of the two of you together. Visit a local Walmart, Sharp photo or any other establishment or website that offers t-shirt screen printing. Choose your favorite picture and have it placed inside a large red heart on the shirt's front. On the back create a message for your boyfriend, such as "I Love You Always" or "Tim and Jessica Forever", and include the date. Don't be offended if your boyfriend doesn't wear the t-shirt to his next weekly poker game. Instead encourage him to wear it at a sleep over or when the two of you are alone together. Include the t-shirt along with other clothing, such as boxer shorts, is another way to create Valentines day gift baskets for your favorite guy.
Fancy Fast Food
Many newer couples are faced with the dilemma and stress of celebrating Valentine's Day when your relationship isn't well established. Going the traditional couple's route with hearts and flowers isn't always appropriate if you've only been together for a few weeks or months. Put a twist on the candle light dinner by serving up your boyfriend's favorite fast food meal on fine china. Set the stage with candles, soft music and the inexpensive meal served on expensive dinnerware. Your boyfriend will be pleasantly surprised when he sits down to eat his dinner and discovers a Big Mac and fries on his plate.
