What Not to Buy Your Wife for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is fast approaching-don't buy your way into the doghouse. Women and men like different things. Your wife doesn't want a new drill. If YOU'D like to receive it, don't buy it for HER. Would YOU want a flower bouquet? For a list of ten things NOT to buy for your wife see my list of suggestions below.

1. Cleaning supplies-Don't buy her a mop, a vacuum or even a Swiffer. Never give cleaning supplies. If you've bought her a broom, definitely exchange it. Avoid the toilet brush!

2. Exercise equipment- Don't buy your wife an Ab Roller or elliptical machine-even if she wants one. Valentine's Day presents should always be fun and romantic. Don't buy her a pass to the gym!

3. Kitchen gadgets-"Hey honey, I bought you a fancy new pot. I thought you could cook me a roast." Don't buy your wife gifts that will put her to work. She's liable to give you a SNEEZER!

4. Love IOU's- Unless you're Joey Tribbiani, its not that cute. You're wife doesn't want "free love". Homemade gifts aren't likely to impress her either. Stick with the tried and true!

5. Fake jewelry- If you're already married, and not still in high school, you shouldn't be buying fake jewelry. Don't pretend it's a diamond if it's cubic zirconium. Your friends will rat you out!

6. Money- If you're married, you shouldn't be giving her money. Isn't YOUR money HER money anyways? Would you go through her closet and wrap up her shirt? She'll shop if she wants to shop!

7. Tattoo- Unless she's Angelina Jolie-or maybe a biker-a tattoo isn't going to impress her. "Look dear, I tattooed your name on my butt cheek. Let's post a good picture on Facebook!"

8. Gas station crap- If you forgot Valentine's Day, just come clean and admit it. Don't go out and buy her crap. "Look dear, it's a map of Timbuktu. It came with a bottle of pop!"

9. Singing Telegrams- Should you interrupt her at work in the middle of a meeting by hiring a singing telegram? Her coworkers would say yes-they'd find it amusing. Your wife would most likely say NO!

10. Guy stuff- "Here honey, I bought you a case of beer and a fishing magazine!" She doesn't want spark plugs for the car or hunting gear either. Don't ask YOUR friends for hints!

On Valentine's Day, buy her something she'll like or go out for a night on the town. Buy her REAL jewelry, a spa package or a cleaning lady. Try an iPod or GPS system. Make the day special and earn those brownie points. Make 2010 a year to remember. If you're still at a loss and don't know what to buy-click my link below for suggestions.
