Top Ten Valentine Tips

• Order your Bouquet a Week Early
  Flower shops are overrun at Valentines, if you try and order flowers on the 13th or 14th you will only get leftovers
• Avoid Racy Lingerie
  Unless you really know otherwise, anything sexy may be considered vulgar.
• Get advice from her girlfriends
  But be careful whether you use it
• If she asks you For a particular perfume, handbag (or hints at it) make sure you get it
  But remember to shop early as it may turn out to be hard to get. (Keep the receipt)
• Note in a Diary, her favorite colors, perfumes, clothes sizes etc
  Sadly we men often don't know this stuff which often makes buying a present tricky.
• Have you thought of the Other Women in your Life?
  How about Grandma or your Mum you can send them flowers.
• Don't just throw money at it
  Selecting a tasteful gift or something she really likes will count more.
• Remember what you gave in previous years
  What went well and what went badly.
