See more of Flavorwire's Design Porn here. I frickin love this website. It's the best way to spend an hour at work not actually working, in my opinion, enriching yourself.

The Genuine Gentleman Strikes Again

Well Ladies, this has been a long time coming but the Genuine Gentleman is back with a little St. Valentine’s Day advice.


In response to a question emailed to the Genuine Gentleman by Hackie Jamilton “With Valentine's Day coming up, what would be some great gifts to buy for boys?” I give you the following advice!


This is a question that may be easily answered depending on how you feel about Valentine’s Day.


If you are a lady who feels that buying something for your man is an expression of love then please go ahead a buy him something. Chances are he needed it or you thought he needed it (which means he needed it)!


Secondly, in response to Hackie’s question, there are a few other options that might be more appreciated by your man:


· Something Sexy – You know what I mean.

· Something Delicious – Get in the kitchen and show him your domestic side

· Something Thoughtful – We can be sensitive. Make this a gift from the heart.

· Something Awesome – There is a story behind this but it may just be an urban legend – Combine all three of the previous. Wear something sexy while cooking a delicious and thoughtful yet naughty meal.


Any of these options will make this his favorite V-Day ever!


One more word of advice, do not buy him anything that will keep him occupied for the evening. This includes: video games, electronics, music, musical instruments, or a new animal. Any of these items are like giving a kid some new Lego’s (add those to the list also).


Happy Valentine’s Day Ladies!
