The eve of Valentine's day is over.
The day considered the most romantic of the whole year started and for a lot of guys out there this means time to find a gift is out.
I cannot explain what this day means for a woman without falling into a clichè. Valentine's day is the Christmas of every girlfriend, fiancèe, wife.
It's almost considered as an anniversary or an important date of the relationship and like those it puts tons of guys in trouble every year.
By now, every guy involved in a relationship should have everything arranged: gift(s); restaurant reservation, flowers delivery, etc.
I know that those guys, who haven't arranged anything yet, think they are safe because they still have the whole day but it's not like that. Guys you are s#@%!ed...Time is out!!!
Tomorrow between work, daily tasks and crowds of desperate guys like you looking for any kind of heart-shaped thing, you won't have a chance to get a special gift.
You may even find chocolates but they will yell for mercy already from the box...let's not think about the taste.
Anyway, this is not yet the moment to panic. You still have some chance to play cool and come out safe.
I will give you 3 ways out so read carefully.
METHOD 1: THE CREATIVE WAY
It's late to buy the perfect gift but not too late to give her a special one made entirely by you.
Do you have any crafting skills? Are you familiar with DIY projects? Then you are half way there.
The creative method is the suggestion I give to all those guys who are able to craft things and work with materials (wood for example).
Handmade presents show the effort and the thought put into the gift and they are really appreciated by women.
They are considered thoughtful ways to say "I LOVE YOU" with a gift.
A nice and romantic home-cooked dinner works too. All you need are some basic cooking skills and fresh ingredients.
Check the web for projects, recipes, etc. if you need further help.
Can you "make" a gift? So...what are you waiting for? Don't waste anymore time.
METHOD 2: THE SACRIFICE WAY
This is the method I suggest to all those lazy guys who have no will on putting too much effort to find a last moment gift but they want still to get out safe from this situation.
This is the easiest way out.
You will have to concentrate all your attentions on your significant other for the whole time you will spend together on Valentine's day.
Order the food she loves, rent her favorite romantic movie, create a romantic atmosphere with lights and candles and give her some massage and cuddle.
Doesn't matter how lazy you are, you still need to put a little bit of effort to get out of this.
Did you really think it was going to be that easy?
TIP: Half way between the first method and the second:
Get a blank sheet of paper and create nice coupons. They can be massage coupons, dinner out coupons, or anything else she loves. It's a cute gift, handmade and it requires almost no effort to prepare it.
If you are lucky, she might even forget about those coupons with time.
METHOD 3: THE CRAZY WAY
This is the very last moment gift method.
Extreme situations require extreme measures. It can cost you a fortune if you don't play it smart.
For this method, time is crucial. You cannot wait for her to give you the gift she bought you or wait that moment when she expects something from you, otherwise your plan will crumble.
You need to be the first to give the gift but don't do it too early or she will get suspicious.
It works like this: you need to convince her that you had the idea for a great gift but you thought that purchasing it together would be better and nicer.
This gift needs to be something you can purchase online and that both of you can enjoy.
Why? Because you will have to choose it together and purchase it at that very same moment. That's the cool part of the plan.
So, no clothes, no jewelry, nothing personal or only for her because she will understand you had no idea at all.
A planned holiday, flight tickets, a weekend somewhere, tickets to an event. These are the kind of gifts you can suggest.
TIP: You have few seconds to calculate your financial resources and tell her the idea. Pay attention on what you say or you might spend all your savings for a single trip out of the continent.
So, now you have your chances to recover the fact you have nothing planned. You can do it.
Obviously, if you are too lazy, with no skills and no money, your last resort is to put up a big fight at the very beginning of Valentine's day and make up the next day. This should take the pressure away but maybe not only that.
I know that there are still lot of you thinking "Nooooo...i don't need to buy anything. We both agreed to no gifts this year. She promised me she won't get me anything and I promised her the same. She is not expecting any gift".
To those I sincerely say:
"Do not be naive. She expects a present, even if just a flower.
Don't make a fool of yourself believing she really meant NO GIFTS.
I learned that lesson on my own skin and I'm still giving her feet massage from last Valentine's day"
Leave a comment if you got in trouble on Valentine's day and let me know how you saved the situation.
Hoping you liked the post, I wish you all a good Valentine's day.
