Relationship Advice Expert April Masini
Advice Seeker: Dear April Masini,
Help! I never know what gift to give my boyfriend, and I have to get three presents for him back-to-back. His birthday is in November, then there's Christmas, and then Valentine's day. I want to give him something special, but I'm at a loss. And did I mention that I'm financially challenged, too? Please give me some advice on how I can get my boyfriend fabulous, but not crazy-expensive, gifts!
Sincerely,
Financially Challenged Gift Giver
Dear Financially Challenged Gift Giver,
Gift giving can be nerve wrecking and it can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be either of these things... if you are willing to be a little creative.
For instance, Valentine's Day is a great time to show how much you care -- and just how you care. This is the only holiday when sex comes out of the back seat and is featured front and center. So show your sweetie how sexy he is by showing how sexy you can be!
April’s Top 10 Sexiest Gifts to Give Him (for any occasion) That He'll Love:
1. You, obviously. Wrapped up in red velvet lingerie.
2. Boudoir photos of yourself. Go to a professional and do it up right. Or if you're low on cash, have a girlfriend take the photos for you. With digital cameras (they're under $50 at Radio Shack and under $20 for disposable ones at drug stores) you can - develop them on your computer for free and print them out on your own printer.
Lost Weekend:
Tell him to pack an overnight bag and - kidnap him on a trip to...
9. Game night. Strip poker, naked Twister or Scrabble where during each round, whoever scores the lower number of points, removes one item of clothing. You both score either way!
10. Pot luck dinner party! Invite six friends to bring a dish that is red! Some ideas are red wine, cosmos, tomato-y red topped bruschetta, rare roast beef or carpaccio, stuffed red peppers, etc. And of course, the dress code? Code red.
These ideas, along with many more romantic date ideas can be found in my book, Romantic Date Ideas. Buy it today and have a very happy, sexual, and sensual special day -- any day!
