It is Valentines day next week, so I have put together a survival guide to get your through the day. If you are struggling to find something for your girl, or you’re a ‘typical guy’, then you may find this useful.
The inexpensive gifts
Flowers – Aldi are running a promotion and offering a dozen red roses for only £5! (available from 11th February) Get your girl some flowers, she’ll love them and not know how cheap you really are 
If she is impressed with the flowers, then you might need the next item, condoms. Durex have a range of condoms, including their thin feel which RRP at £8.99 for a pack. If you really want to use these then you probably need a couple of other items before hand 😉
Music – How can she say no to the Spice Girls Greatest Hits or the Girls Aloud album: TEN. So many hits on both of these albums, pop perfection, ballads, party bangers and more. These will cost around £7 each on CD.
Chocolates -Forrest Gump said life was like a box of chocolates. You can buy the Lindt heart box, everyone adores Lindt by Lindor chocolates, I LOVE them, they are amazingly nice! They are around £6 for a handful of chocolates. If you want something a bit more classy, then go for the Charbonnel et Walker chocolate truffles. A pack of 3 in a heart box costs around £4, not the cheapest thing in the world!
Films – Have a cosy night in, watch a film or two. Why not get Valentines Day or New Years Eve. Pure girly chic flicks, around £20 for both.
Make a meal – If you are feeling adventurous then you could make a meal, I prefer spaghetti bolognese, it’s really easy to make. She’ll love you have went to some trouble to make a meal just for her 😉
A bit more expensive…
Champagne – I am a champagne lover, and this one is a bit more selfish, because it’s to share 😀 Make it a bit girly, you can get pink champagne and get a nice presentation box or case. Pictured above I have chosen pink Bollinger (Rosé) which comes with a pink cooler. It looks pretty nice and costs £60 from John Lewis.
Perfume – It’s usually a home run, just make sure you get something which she likes! I have picked out Dolce & Gabbana Femme, a classic scent. This costs around £35.
And there you have it, the Valentines Day survival kit. The key to getting or keeping your girlfriend…until next year at least 😉
