Be My Valentine

To all the male readers out there, this blog is for you.

If your significant other is a typical person who likes to get pampered, she would expect a big hoopla for Valentine's Day. Sure this isn't the case for every single lady out there but more often than not, she's going to want you to go the whole 9 yards in terms of roses, sweets, dinner, jewelry, and quite possibly a little dessert, too! Lucky for all you guys who procrastinate, I have some suggestions on what to give your Valentine.

Giving a girl some flowers for V-Day is almost a given but there are ways to make her go "aww" by doing some simple things. Valentine's Day falls on a Thursday this year so instead of doing the whole "bring-her-flowers-when-I-pick-her-up" thing, go a little further and take some extra time during your lunch to bring her flowers at work. Girls LOVE attention so when her fellow co-workers see you walking into her work with a vase of her favorite flowers, your significant other will get comments of how lucky she is to have you. It's a win-win situation, I think!

I'm going to stay away from the chocolate-giving and suggest something else to give your significant other as a sweet treat: cookie bouquets. Cookies by Design is one such company that does these cookie arrangements. I highly suggest you check it out. It's something different to give your lady! It can also be like killing two birds with one stone. If you get this cookie bouquet arrangement, you'll take care of the bouquet of roses and sweets aspects of V-Day.

If you haven't made a reservation for Valentine's Day dinner, I suggest you do it NOW (or at least after you read this blog). I want to suggest the place I love to eat: Gyu Kaku. It's a Japanese BBQ restaurant where you cook your own food. But hey, that's just my suggestion. Wherever you decide on going, be prepared for the long waits (even with a reservation!).

The jewelry suggestion is simple: Tiffany is your best friend.

In terms of dessert, I'll leave that up to you guys to decide. haha.

And of course I saved the best for last. Make this Valentine's Day last forever by having professional photos taken of you two! Oh and what a coincidence, Cantina Light Pictures can offer this for you! Call us today at (714) 265-7645 to set up an appointment with our fun, friendly, and professional staff!

Check out the blog on Monday for what you ladies can do for your Mr. Right! Of course we women expect our men to spoil us rotten on Valentine's Day but men love the attention too! Keeping them happy keeps us happy!

Happy Valentine's Day planning! Stay cool on this warm and sunny southern California weekend!

Cheers,
Samantha
