320.0. "HELP - VALENTINES DAY SUGGESTIONS" by NUTMEG::HEBERT () Wed Feb 08 1989 18:12

    Men ,... any suggestions??????
    
    I'm looking for something to give my "So" for Valentines Day... and
    I want to know what it is that MEN would really like to see their
    mate give them. 
    
    Too often we give the PREDICTABLE gift, because it's a romantic
    holiday.  But I want to give something different.  Maybe outrageous,
    maybe romantic, but something unexpected.
    
    Maybe some of you can also share some past Valentines Day surprises 
    that you rec'd, that you really liked.
    
    Thanks

    How about half a dozen or so edible briefs, your choice of flavor!
    Don't know about you but it is definitely outrageous here! (in
    Malaysia). And both of you can enjoy them too. Could be romantic,
    depending on your creativity. Ciao! Hope it helps!
320.2He'll love it--a gift certificatePARITY::STACIEMon Feb 13 1989 14:3610
    My SO was in a car accident a year ago, and still suffers a lot
    of aches and pains due to his neck injuries.
    
    I got him an hour massage at Massage Only in Newburyport.
    
    BTW- this is a reputable massage parlor, classical therapeutic
    massage and sports medicine massage.  No "full body massage
    by lovely young women"

    I generally give my main squeeze a red rose, dinner out, and a backrub.
    I haven't had any complaints yet.... ;).

    	Make sure the house is going to be empty of "friends" and Kids
    etc. Leave work early, go to frederick's or some other place and
    buy something that you would dare buy, except that you're raising
    you're courage to a new level today only. 
    	Go home and and do all of the things that HE likes YOU to do
    to yourself for HIM. Primp and prepare. Watch for him to come home
    and meet him at the door in your new outfit.
    	I would expect that the excitement of it all would be beneficial
    to you too! 
    
    	Just be prepared to have to give up a potential terrific dinner
    and night out if you knock him dead at the door. 8*))

320.5Try a bedroom photo layoutCOMET::HENNINGERTue Feb 14 1989 21:1612
    This one is a little late for this year.
    
    Find a photo studio and have a boudoir (sp?) layout made of you
    looking your best in something he bought special for you.
    
    Last year a local lingerie shop offerred a free sitting with each
    set bought for valentine's.   The album layout was given as an 
    anniversary gift two months later.
    
    The long, white, satin and lace negligee I bought for our honeymoon
    was the main item of attire with a couple of contrasting shot in
    a long black, satin and lace.  
320.6More ideas?AKO569::JOYGet a life!Sat Jan 27 1990 01:3411
    Time to revive this note for this year. Any other suggestions men? My
    SO doesn't care for the "typical" gifts, i.e. flowers, candy, etc. I
    kind of like the massage gift certificate idea, maybe something along
    those lines? He already gets backrubs, romantic dinners and me in
    something slinky fairly regularly, so I want to do something different
    and very special.
    
    Any suggestions men?

320.7PEKING::NASHDWhatever happened to Capt. Beaky?Sat Jan 27 1990 11:016
    Debbie,
    
    You'll really need to tell us a little bit about the love of your life,
    what does he do outside work etc.

    Unfortunately, he doesn't really have too many hobbies. It seems like
    the time after 5:00 he spends either involved with his Cub Scouts,
    fooling around with his PC, with me or back at work. He works for DEC in
    a marketing group and is usually very stressed out, that's why I liked
    the idea of the full massage. He is a romantic at heart though and does
    enjoy reading (when he finds the time) and sailing. Does that help?

    How about a hot bubble bath, by candlelight of course,  with a new toy 
    boat .... 8^)  Maybe you could make him a "merit badge" that he
    could only wear at home ... hmmmm ....  8^)

320.10Along the Massage lines ATSE::KATZMon Jan 29 1990 11:114
	How about lining both he and you up for a course in massage or
relaxation. I believe giving a massage is in a strange way as relaxing an 
experience as receiving one. If you both enjoy the course you get to practice 
a lot together ~
