Going Shopping for a Valentine's Day Present

Contribution by Terrance Kirby

Buying a valentine's day gift for a man is difficult. Women are easy - chocolates, jewelry, flowers, anything goes. In the past I've typically gotten my husband tickets to a game or a show or I've brought him out to a nice dinner. This year, however, I am making an attempt to give him a present to open on Valentine's Day. I got ready for a long day of shopping - grabbed my purse and a bottle of water, turned on the home security alarm (www.securitychoice.com/broadview-brinks-adt.html) at my house and got in the car to head to the mall. I walked around the mall a few times stopping in all different types of stores. I looked at clothes, wat! ches, sports gear and DVDs. Ufortunately nothing special stood out. It really is hard to buy for a guy! Finally my last stop was the counter at my favorite jewelry store. It is important for every business man to have a few sets of nice cuff links. I picked out two pairs - one gold and one silver and purchased them on the spot. Now, my husband does have cuff links, but now that he has two pairs just from me, I know he will think of how we spent our Valentine's Day each time he wears them!
