Valentine's Day Tips

I saw a commercial including Valentine's day tips, and while some of their ideas were too bad (if it's next to beef jerky, it's a no - stainless steel is never a good idea, you know...), I thought we could improve on them.  Here's some of mine - please feel free to add or challenge any of these...

1.  About the whole flower thing - while it's romantic and all that, what it really is, is a chance for her to count coup on her office enemies.  Either go really big, or go really obviously sentimental.  One perfect daisy just isn't going to do it unless there's jewelry tied to the stem.  And have it delivered to her at work - preferably early in the day, so that every other woman has to walk past them on her desk and die a little inside.

2.  Pajama-gram is a cruel, cruel trick played on guys.  Ditto with the bear-o-grams.

3.  The right card can make a woman melt for years afterwards, every time she sees it.  (Ask Roger for hints on this one - he's hit me with several that managed to make me cry.  Ok, that's not that high of a bar - I've had country music songs make me cry - but still... it works.)

4.  For certain women (generally my friends), something that beeps is much better than something that gleams.  I'm talking serious electronics here - I'd much rather get a flash drive than a flashy bracelet.

As for guys... no clue.  Still trying to figure out what to give Roger for Valentines - any suggestions, guys?
