Valentine’s Gift Ideas for your Guy

I always find it hard to buy gift for my man. It’s not that he’s choosy or meticulous when it comes to gifts, but I just wanted to give my man a kind of gift that is something unusual but at the same time very useful and looks cool! Now the challenge is on and gets steeper as Valentine’s day rolls around. What can I get him that he’ll actually like?
To choose gift for men, consider your guy’s general lifestyle: Is he a music enthusiast? outdoor/nature lover? sports fan? Workaholic? Student? Survivalist? Partier? Fitness/health enthusiast? These are some extremely broad and silly categories, but they will help you narrow him down.
For gift ideas, here are some practical gifts; something that helps him work, study, play, or relax:
Personalized Photo Guitar Picks  ($18.95 for 20 at PersonalizationMall.com) . This is awesome for your guy who loves music whether he’s in a band or still trying to learn the basic keys. This personalized guitar pick is sure to pluck at his heart strings. Personalization Mall’s Personalized Photo Guitar Picks  allows you to make the picks all your own by uploading photos and writing messages in a font of your choice.
If he’s not into guitar but on drums, Personalized Drumsticks will be loved! I saw custom drumsticks from CustomStix.com with few designs that will brighten the day of a drummer who you thought had everything.  Get him a pair of personalized drumsticks from Custom Stix™ with your own personalized message. Nothing says I Love you like 2 pair of custom graphic drumsticks! If he sets his sticks down in a room full of drummers, he will never have to ask the question again, “Where are my sticks?” You can order your very own by clicking here.  Remember, get your order in by Jan. 30th in order to get them in time.
What’s the best gift to give your pool and patio lover?  The pentair pool light supplies could help you with that. Their innovative water feature AQUA-GLOW RAINBOW FOUNTAIN ($27.94) uses the natural energy of water to power LED lights. Simply attach the fountain to  pool return or garden hose and enjoy the cascading lights. What a romantic way to spend the night besides the pool. This AQUA-GLOW RAINBOW FOUNTAIN creates a little night magic and adds ambiance to any outdoor setting.
Garden Bucket Caddy is a dandy companion for your guy who loves gardening. It has deep, large pockets, storage for bulb planter, gloves, and tools. Also he won’t miss your call while he’s gardening because this bucket has a phone pocket with cinch pull. Seed storage pocket keeps seeds dry and protected. Beverage holder for soda or water bottle. “No bottom” pockets are perfect for grass shears or a small lopper. It’s available at Amzon for $15.99 only.

Have you bought your guy anything yet? What do you think of these gift ideas?

In my case, the time I know what my hubby wants, he already bought it for himself! So I need to stay one step ahead of him, and buy him a gift which he has not already bought for himself. Unfortunately, this leads me to another problem- his favourites are hideously expensive!

New Do: Peekaboo Shoulders

Donna Karan said it best: “Shoulders are the one place a woman never gains weight.” So show ‘em off! …and I’m showing mine.

Women love Trucks

When I was assigned as an ESL teacher for high school novice monks in Alor Star, Malaysia, the one who’s assigned to drop and fetch me from the temple is a young pretty lady who’s driving a Dodge Ram Pickup truck. I feel very safe sitting up higher — the 20-inch wheels lift the car…

Beauty Dos

Check out this new beauty dos I learned from Glamour: 1. Do get celeb brows. Bring tear-outs from magazines to the salon just as you would do for hair. There’s some great brow-spiration in there! I’m digging on Natalie Portman’s eyebrow! I’m comfortable with thinner brows like hers than those sexy high signature arch of…
