Valentine's Day Approaches

Ah, Valentine's Day. I wrote all about it HERE if you would like to read it. In this column, I delve into the trials and tribulations that I've gone through on Valentine's Day... from little cartoon cards in elementary to the infamous rose sale in high school to now, a Valentine who happens to me the love of my life.

*Note: I hate when people use that term "love of my life" really freely. I've never used it until now because I've never been in love like this. Rest assured, I am not the type that uses that "soulmate" term freely.

But now I'm torn... what should I get him?! My only rules are that my gift is under $20, creative, and masculine. I'm not getting him flowers or something. He only tolerates the big V-day because he loves me, so I try to make it as painless as possible.

I'm kind of thinking...

SOCKS! I don't know why, but Boyfriend is always out of socks. Is this too practical for a girlfriend gift? I'm a pretty practical girlfriend, so it might be appropriate.

What are you getting your significant other?
