Other romance-killing practical gifts to be avoided,
besides took boxes, include weed whackers, post hole diggers, radial
tires, bathroom scales and large bags of cement. If you must give a
practical gift, make it one with romantic uses, like a blender, which
can be used to make intoxicating drinks for romantic occasions. When
you think about it, a blender is not too romantic either and neither
are most other household items like vacuums, stoves, refrigerators and
sewing machines. Rule of Thumb: If it is practical, she will see it as
work and not too romantic and you definitely get no points for
originality.
Gifts with high romantic content: books of poetry,
anything lacy, anything scented, jewelry (doesn’t have to be
heart-shaped), tickets for a weekend getaway, lingerie (be careful
here—ask the nice saleslady for advice). Flowers are good, but don’t
forget to remove the price sticker from the wrapper, especially if you
went cheap and shame on you for doing so.
Men have a strange relationship with flowers. I think
we equate them with weeds or something that needs to be mowed, pulled
or trimmed. Women tend to like flowers. Go with their instinct!
