Cheap and Original Valentine's Day Gift for Men

Sarah Barr
Finding gifts for men on Valentine's Day isn't easy. It is pretty much a woman's holiday, but we don't want our men to feel neglected either. Electronics aren't very romantic, and he really doesn't want another tie or underwear. Here's an idea that can turn simple Hershey Kisses into a gift he can really take to heart.

Buy a bag of Hershey's kisses, you can even buy the pretty red ones to make it more festive. Pull the white tags out of each and every kiss. On a piece of white paper write phrases to finish the sentence "I love you because..." Think hard because it will take about 100 to fill up the bag. You'll have to write small, about the size of the writing on the real Hershey's tags. Cut each strip out then carefull peel apart the wrapper and insert the tag you created back into the kiss. It really is much easier than it sounds! To finish it off, seal the bag back with a ribbon and attach a note that says "I love you because..."

At first you'll probably have to get him to open the bag and take one out because he won't possibly imagine that you've retagged every kiss! Then every time he eats one he'll get to read one of the many things you love about him. A smile with every kiss! Here's a few ideas to get you started:

I love you because...

...you're my best friend,...you make me smile,...you have great abs,...you make me feel safe, etc. Make each tag personal, funny, sexy, witty and he will want to eat them all that first night just to see what you really think about him! It only costs a couple of dollars and take about an hour of your time, but it is a gift is isn't likely to soon forget!
