Dating tips-Practical Valentine's Day Gifts for Him

We all know that women go mushy over chocolates, hearts and roses on Valentine's Day - but how about men? Men are amazingly practical; they would want a gift they can use instead of a romantic gift they can just stare at every day. Gifting your man something functional will make you more memorable for him.

Minding the little things
Money shouldn't be an issue in choosing a Valentine's gift. Notice the little things your man uses everyday - does he prefer a particular brand of underwear or razors? Do you think he needs sun block or maybe some facial product he can actually use? Putting together a nice gift basket with all his essentials can definitely score you some big points! Place your gifts inside a basket and wrap it with clear plastic with a bow to make it presentable.

Non-tangible gifts
Valentines gifts don't just come in tangible form. If your loved one mentions that he needs a refresher course in driving or that he wants to build his career expertise, tell him that you'll cover the expenses for that new course or for an important workshop he has mentioned. If he can't wash his car or can't clean up house because he's too busy for work, get gift certificates from businesses that provide these services like housekeeping, car wash and home repair. These will mean a lot to the practical-minded man.

Thoughtful and Functional
Women appreciate thoughtful gifts and men do too. If he's a techie, you can buy him a new GPS guidance system for his car, a new external drive or useful productivity applications for his iPhone - you can even throw in customized iPhone Valentine eCards with that! Pay attention to what he really needs. What does he intend to buy in the next few months or on his birthday? Listening might just help you in buying the perfect gift!
