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.
1. Diamond Candles “A Ring In Every Candle”
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
·
2. NanoStyle Jewelry “The Unique Gift of Jewelry”
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.
