VALENTINE'S DAY GIFTS

-
After a decade-long increase, Valentine's Day spending is expected to finally see a market correction this year, according to NRF's annual survey conducted by Prosper Insights. U.S. consumers are expected to spend an average $136.57, down from last year's record-high $146.84, while total spending is expected to reach $18.2 billion, down from $19.7 billion last year.
The 5 Worst Valentine's Day Gifts for Men:
  1. The Razorba back shaver
  2. Stamina building pills
  3. Fart filters
  4. Erectile dysfunction pump
  5. Nose hair trimmers

The 5 Worst Valentine's Day Gifts for Women:
  1. Weight loss pills
  2. PMS relief pills
  3. Pregnancy test
  4. Hair removal wax
  5. Mancatcher Voodoo Kit

Men's Health magazine polled more than 7,500 Women's Health magazine readers on what they wanted for Valentine's day, and many said they'd rather have dinner than a gift. And they're picky about what kind of dinner. Why? "It's not about the money it's because we do not have to clean up. You only have to pay attention to each other," says Carolyn Kylstra, the Men's Health Girl Next Door. "Pick a place with well spaced tables. Real intimacy is difficult if people are listening." Here's what type of dinner the women said they'd like:
  • 46% said a nice restaurant
  • 31% said for him to cook for me
  • 23% said for us to cook together

Billboard has ranked the 50 sexiest songs by popularity. Here's the top five:
  1. "Physical," Olivia Newton-John
  2. "Tonight's the Night," Rod Stewart
  3. "I'll Make Love to You," Boyz II Men
  4. "Too Close," Next
  5. "Let's Get it On," Marvin Gaye

Here are some Valentine's gift suggestions from Cosmopolitan for every stage of your relationship:
  • Less than three months, books
  • Three to six months, find something related to his hobbies
  • Seven to eleven months, concert tickets
  • One to two years, unique gifts such as ballpark cuff links
  • More than three years, classes on something he is interested in


Celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day -- screw the roses, the chocolates, the candlelit meal. Instead, spend the evening hanging out at a funky dive bar. Find one that has pinball, pool, or darts.
