Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Obviously. This is a day that brings incredible hope to females all around the world, while that very same sparkle scares most of their men into a corner.
This is what goes through most men’s minds:
“Should I buy her jewelry?”
“Should I get her chocolates?”
“Should I make the card or buy the card?”
“Should I get a card?”
Most of these thoughts are followed by a scary flashback of a woman crying, frowning or letting the whole world know via a social network that her boyfriend is lousy and clueless. This is probably due to the common knowledge that to a woman: jewelry is never expensive enough; chocolate is her favourite, but it’s not special enough and the card was hand-made but not sentimental enough.
In fact, I’m getting tired just thinking about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if most men were driven to Jolie and Thornton measures… After all, carrying a blood vial around your neck is probably as personal, creative, unique and sentimental as it gets. But then again, that wouldn’t be “normal” enough.
The truth is that I feel sorry for men – as it often seems that most women forget that Valentine’s Day is a two-way street any way. It’s because of this that I have listed 3 Valentine’s Day ideas that are related to jewelry; are definitely creative and even a little personal.
What’s so great about these? They’re soy; they’re scented and they contain jewelry. The value of the rings ranges from $10 - $5,000.
Pros:
· The surprise can take the edge off of the outcome of the actual value – and they can’t blame you for it!
· She could hit the jackpot
Cons:
· The room could smell like “Cozy Cabin” all day long – we all know women aren’t patient
·
What’s so great about this? First of all, they offer Cubic Zirconia, which is not only practically identical to diamond, but costs an arm and a leg less. Secondly, if she wants “personal”, what better way to get “personal” than to have a pendant that says “I Love You” imprinted in 24kt gold onto a single stone in 120 different languages?
Pros:
· This is probably the only time a girl is going to use a magnifying glass on a piece of jewelry and be happy about it
· They offer free international shipping
· She’ll get distracted by the “shiny object”
Cons:
· Even the best cubic zirconia jewelry can’t fool the average woman
3. Edible Jewelry, from these places:
What’s so great about these? They’re creative; she can’t complain about them not being diamonds and you’ve got the “chocolates” question covered.
Pros:
· They’re customizable, so you’ve got “personal” covered
· Who needs dessert?
Cons:
· Uhm… “Babe, does my butt look big in these pants?”
Cons aside, these suggestions should at least avoid the following:
Which is, of course, the primary aim here - no one wants Halloween early.
