How to Make a Valentine's Day Gift Basket for your Husband

As Valentine's Day comes closer we women imagine our husbands planning wonderful, romantic gifts. Jewelry? Vacation? Renewal of vows? But you have to be ready with something in return, and whatever will it be?

Men's wallets last forever, as do their watches, and besides being creatures of habit they only will want the exact same watch when the current one breaks. Eat out at a fancy restaurant? Most men consider that something they do for you, no vice versa. Whatever can you do?

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Container
• Gift Items
• Treats
• Card

1. Understand this: romance for a man means you want him and will let him have you. That's it. To romance your husband with a gift basket on Valentine's Day, consider how you can let him know you find him attractive and you enjoy being with him. Here are some ideas dressed up in themes.

2. Old Movie: buy one of his favorite old movies on DVD, popcorn, seasoned salt, 2 bottles of root beer, a really mushy card and a pair of the sexiest, silkiest boxers you can find. Bake his favorite dessert and cuddle up on the sofa under a blanket for some good old fashioned movie fun.
   
   Love, love me do: in a gift bag tuck a very sexy negligee in amongst some candy, a mushy card and some flavored body oil.
   
   Gift booklet: Make a little book of coupons to give your husband. These could be bedroom gifts or household tasks, or maybe just a bunch of "Get out of the Dog House Free" cards to redeem when you're mad at him. Roll up the booklet along with some of his favorite magazines.

3. Give him flowers! I sent my husband one single, perfect, red rose with a card that told the significance of giving a red rose. He loved it and by the next day he was over the ribbing he got from his coworkers.

Tips & Warnings

• Just like you want a gift that says he thinks you're sexy and worth it to him, he wants the same from you.
• Men can be very matter of fact. If your husband acts like your gift is silly or just ignores it, release the hurt. Your heart is in the right place.
