Valentine's Day Gifts For Two

Give a gift that you can enjoy together.

By Tara Mandy

It's difficult to find romantic gifts for guys. The options all seem so cheesy. Silk boxers? Um, no.

Instead, get something you can enjoy together like, say, Egyptian cotton sheets with a high thread count. They don't have to be from Frette, just pop into the nearest department store and feel the samples. Sometimes the private label, in-store brands are just as soft, without the sticker-shock. Your guy might give you a "huh?" look when he opens the gift, but he'll love having awesome bed linens.

Along the same lines: get a snuggly-soft cashmere throw for cuddling on the couch. Williams-Sonoma Home has a great selection, at a reasonable price. Or, splurge on a great bottle of rose Champagne (Billecart-Salmon Rose is fabulous) and a set of crystal toasting glasses. Plan a surprise weekend away, book a side-by-side couple's massage, or shop together for a great piece of art for your home. If you're the kind of couple that likes to "do" more than "buy," consider treating yourselves to at-home wine lessons (most wine stores have someone on staff willing to make house calls), duet workout sessions with a trainer, or private dance lessons. The ultimate gift for two? A new LCD TV. Put a big red bow on it pair the gift with a great DVD and a box of movie candy.
