If there is one thing men have been falsely led to believe their entire lives, it’s that every kiss begins with “K.” With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, that little jingle put out by Kay Jewelers is more prevalent than ever, but it’s a lie. No kiss ever begins with K. Matter of fact, if your girlfriend is texting you the one word “K.” you are not about to get a kiss, you are about to get an earful because she IS pissed and she wants you to know it.
Despite what these jewelry stores want you to believe, your girlfriend really doesn’t want that cliché heart necklace that every other girl is going to get. Sure, it’s cute. But it shows you put absolutely no thought into her gift, you just went with the easiest option. Thankfully, fellas, you have me, and I’m about to let you in on the secret of what us girls really do want this Valentine’s Day.
If you’re looking for something that is relatively low maintenance and low cost, a cute picture of the two of you in a frame is sure to make your girl melt. Girls don’t really care about how much their gift costs; instead we care about how much effort you put into it. You know your girlfriend is always snapping cute selfies of the two of you, and you know each time she does you give her the annoyed eye roll, because a lovey dovey selfie is SO not masculine. This Valentine’s Day, show her that you’re willing to sacrifice a little bit of your manhood and secretly snap a selfie of her sleeping on your chest, put it in a frame, and she’ll gush over what a sweet, thoughtful guy you are!
Another option that is relatively easy and is gaining popularity is Wicked Good Cupcakes. Every girl, no matter how dedicated to their “fit fam” they are, love a good sweet once in a while, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion for that. Wicked Good Cupcakes is a website in which you can create your own flavor of cupcake and then send it to a loved one in a cute jar with a cute little message. They come in packages of two, four, or six and they have Valentine’s Day specials under $15.00. You can’t beat it!
For those of you who aren’t ballin’ on a budget and have a little more extra cash to spend, make your girlfriend a build-a-bear. It sounds extremely cheesy because let’s face it, it is, but any girl would LOVE it! Just knowing that you were willing to go to a store and be seen in public making a teddy bear shows how far you would go to make her happy. You can even record your voice and put inside the bear, so no matter how far away you guys are from each other, she’ll always a little piece of you near. This is one of those things that your guy friends are sure to make fun of you for, but your girlfriend will love you forever.
Finally, if you’re dating someone who just hates Valentine’s Day all together, someone like me, you don’t need to make a big deal about the holiday. But when she says she doesn’t want to do anything, IT IS A LIE. She definitely does want to do something, she is just too stubborn to admit it. For these girls, a perfect Valentine’s gift is something as simple as you cooking them dinner and renting a movie to watch. Just a little something to show you were thinking about her a little more on this day is more than enough.
Well there you have it guys, the key to a perfect Valentine’s Day. Whatever way you decide to go, I’m sure your girlfriend will be appreciative, just remember that every kiss doesn’t begin with K.
