Intimate Gift Ideas for Your Wife on Valentine's Day

Caryn Murray
The worst thing you can get a woman for Valentine's Day is what you think you should get her. In the case of my husband, and possibly every man I've met... buying an intimate gift for a woman involves a battery operated toy. Now I can't speak for every woman out there... but this is not an intimate gift. The biggest mistake men make is confusing intimacy with sex.

To put it quite simply, if you ever want to have sex again... don't buy her anything perverted... unless you know it is something she would want.

However, it is a man's nature to confuse intimacy with sex, and many of these gifts will satisfy both your giving nature and her desires... so pay attention. Skip over the sexy lingerie and try any of these 2 player games that will give the intimacy she wants and you the sex you want.

Okay, with the hormonal shopper in you out of the way, focus some more on what she really would like for a gift. What would make her happy? The first step in figuring this out is to admit to yourself that you are human and that's okay. To elaborate further, you are not perfect and that is okay. But your wife puts up with you so lovingly, surely there is some way you can say 'thank you' that doesn't focus on 'Well, today is a day to be extra good...'. Basically, Valentine's Day is just one day out of the year and for most women, it's the other 364 days that really tell them how you feel.

The best gift you can give your wife is to let her know, every day, how special she is to you, how happy you are to have her in your life, and how much you want to make her happy. The smallest things speak the loudest. Again, this does not always come natural for men... so here are a few suggestions that will help you out with the year long intimate connection... beginning with the once a year tradition of romantic gift giving.

Steamy Coupons coupon book $5.95

(This gift allows her to choose what she wants, and when she wants it. you promise to follow through with every deed. It is honestly better to make your own coupon book for her, basing each coupon on something you know she will personally desire, but it just might be too tempting to throw in some of your own desires as well. If you can't resist the urge to give her a coupon for a threesome... well, just buy a coupon book from a company that focuses on women's desires and leave it to the professionals.)

10,000 Ways to Say I Love You $9.95

(Though you wil wrap this gift and give it to her, this is a gift for you. Allow her to read through the book, circle every idea she would like you to follow, then give it back to you. Make a point to open this book every morning and memorize a different way to let your wife know she is valuable to you. The bonus here is that not only will you find new ways to let her know you love her, but she too will learn ways to tell you how she feels. Wether you are able to admit it or not, men also need to be shown that they are loved. This book is a gift that just keeps on giving.)

A pair of 'adventurous tickets' (price varies)

(Nothing draws two people closer than sharing a first experience. Anything from skydiving, hang-gliding, bungee jumping, scuba diving, to horse riding can be a fun and adventurous experience to share. There is no better gift to give than a memorable experience, especially one that heightens your senses.)

Do what she's been wanting you to do with her

(This does not mean she'll owe you the threesome you have been wanting her to have with you. This does mean that you'll have to suck it up and sit through an opera/play/theatre or something else that simply sounds unbearable. It will make her happy, as long as you don't remind her every 5 minutes that it's such a huge sacrifice on your behalf. Paying attention to the fact that first experiences draw two individuals closer together, you might even find yourself having a good time.)

For some other helpful gift ideas... personal is always the best way to go. Give her a gift card to her favorite store, a homemade gift basket with her favorite lotions and other things you have personally handpicked to fit her taste (maybe throw in an adult game from the beginning of this article),

No matter what you do... don't dismiss the classic 'card and candy' gift for Valentine's Day, as long as you follow a very important rule.

Do tell her in your own words how special she is, do not let Hallmark or any other card company say it for you.

Buy some construction paper, lace doilies, and get old school with a homemade Valentine's Day card that's cute enough to make her smile, and contains a personal message inside that will bring a tear to her eye. (The good kind of tear!)

Do choose candy carefully, do not pick up a random box of chocolates. If she has a favorite candy, say Snickers candy bars... then one Snickers will say more to her than a whole box of chocolates that says "I put absolutely no effort into this... here's some chocolate though!"
