First off I would like to apologise for my lack of blog posts in the recent weeks, I have a valid excuse...I have my first full time job and the hours are basically kicking the shit out of me but I won't be complaining come pay day, I assure you. I also put it down to a major blogger block, my inspiration has gone to zero and I'm struggling on the writing front! Any suggestions as to how I overcome this would be much appreciated...
Secondly, valentines is fast approaching and although I can't bare the thought of all the single people complaining about being single, or the sickly sweetness of couples posting pictures together with tags like "such a lucky lady" or "boy done good", I do believe you should do something for your other half. Without further ado, here is my valentines gift guide for him!
1) If your boy, like mine, loves his Xbox more than his own mother then you can't go wrong with a game. My other half bought this one for himself a few weeks back and insists on telling me about it, despite the fact I couldn't actually care less. It's called Destiny, Click here to buy. Another one he mentioned was Assassins Creed Rogue, he didn't purchase this one so cheeky little me went out and got it, this one is the cheaper of the 2 so if your a tad financially inept this month, go for the latter. Click here to buy.
2) Gadgets...Need I say more! Every boy loves gadgets, things that fly, things that have remote controls, or things that have Bluetooth go down an absolute treat with any guy in your life. Whilst the thought of most of these things bores me to tears at least it's something to keep him going whilst you re-watch gossip girl for the 3rd time. Try Red5 for some more unique gadgety gifts.
3) Victoria Secret or Agent Provacateur...Not something he can wear himself but I'm positive he'll enjoy it just the same. Try net-a-porter.com for some great deals.
4) Why not try a city break? Me and my boyfriend are the champs of City breaks and I somehow remember them more than little gifts. Amsterdam, Paris, Ireland or Scotland are all good get-away's but if you a little strapped for cash you could always stay within local territory. Hotels in Manchester and Liverpool are becoming just as good as those abroad so even if you don't leave your home town, book a room and do the works. I'm not talking a Hotel Ibis Budget by the way, no offence, something a bit more sophisticated and romantic for the pair of you.
5) Buy him things he needs but can't be bothered buying himself. Yes, it's cliche and not exactly the most romantic gift in the world but those socks he's had for 5 years need replacing.
6) Bake him something, bake him cakes, brownies or something you'll know he'll love. Personalise them and give them that special touch, put his name on them or something funny to make him laugh and it shows you have gone to that little bit more effort than just browsing EBay for a couple of hours...
7) You can never go wrong with tickets. NFL tickets are hot property right now for any sports fan so try and snatch up one of those at Wembley that way you can go shopping in London too, bonus. If you don't have the spare change for one of those tickets, then their favourite comedian or band will do too! Comedy clubs also never go a miss, they are a great night out and, s'cuse the phrase...A barrel of laughs. I highly recommend a comedy club to anyone who is having a touch of Valentines day trouble in the present buying department. You can get package deals too, I'm talking food, drink the works.
I hope this helps any struggling girlfriends trying to find the perfect present for their man, has anyone bought their other half anything already ? Let me know.
