Men: What not to give on Valentine's day

It's that time of year. The time of love and romance. The time to keep each other warm during those cold winter months. Sometimes VD (Valentine's day) can be like a disease. As a former floral designer I have seen it all. People who go all out for Valentine's day and the skimpers. This is not as much about money as it is about imagination and creativity. Expectations of love and romance let down. I am starting a list of what women like and don't like for Valentine's day. Maybe some of our clueless male counterparts will take note. (Honey I am not talking about you. honestly babe)  lol

The list of DON'TS:

1. The single red rose. (seriously could you be any less original)  If you are going to to the single flower thing. Change it up a bit.

2. The Russel Stovers. All I can say is YUCK!

3. The dozen roses. Again unoriginal. Try a mixed arrangement with Valentine inspired colors.

4. Pass on the Korbel lol

The list of Do's:

1. Light some candles. Play some romantic music, cook some dinner

2. Bring home some flowers. See above for what not to bring

3. Make your own card, poem anything from the heart is better than store bought

4. Massages are free!!

What are your do's and don'ts???
