What do women really want for Valentine's Day? Now that is a question I bet every man wishes he knew the answer to.
Most men run to the store and grab the first thing they see. Price really isn't an issue. It is a fact that men spend almost twice as much on Valentine's gifts as women. So what is the deal? Are our guys spending their money wisely or are they just buying a gift because they need to get something for the woman in their life.
Men here are the list of the top five gifts for women on Valentines. So check it out and see if you agree.
FLOWERS All women love flowers and so you can't go wrong with this one. A plant is also included in this idea. Add a little note or card. A plant is extra fun because it last longer.
JEWELRY Take your time and think about what kind of jewelry she wears. If she does not have pierced ears, don't buy pierced ear rings. Does she like classical type jewelry such as a strand of pearls or is she more of the trendy type. Just because it looks good on the sales lady does not mean it will look good on her.
GIFT CERTIFICATES How about a day at the local spa? A facial or a pedicure is things most women enjoy. A massage could be wonderful and you might consider joining her.
DINNER AND A MOVIE The trick here is that you need to think of a restaurant that you know she enjoys. If you love Mexican and you know she is on a diet, then think of somewhere she can find something on the menu she would like. Remember it is Valentine's Day and this is a gift, so when you choose a movie, make sure it is a girly type romantic and not a Rambo flick.
WEEKEND GET AWAY who would not love this idea. Again the trick is to think of what she might like. Just because you are a back packer who can hike half way up the pacific trail in one afternoon does not mean she would love doing this. How about a get away to the ocean in a bed and breakfast. Talk to her mom or close friends and ask for ideas.
The important thing is that you think of what she would want. Maybe a pound of SEE'S candy is at the top of your list, but not every woman would enjoy that. So go ahead. Think out of the box and be creative. Happy Valentine's Day.

Western Theme Baby Shower Decorating Ideas
Who says that the shower theme needs to be all about hearts, teddy bears and lollipops? You can try funnier, unconventional ideas for a baby shower, like a western theme. The theme is very generous and there are a lot of decorating ideas you can pick from. Of course, the western theme is all about cowboys, horses, saloons, country music and a whole lot of fun.
First of all, the invitations need to go with the theme. Order some rustic looking ones, printed on thick paper. Fold the invitations to look like an old letter and put them in some antique envelopes.
You can start by decorating the room where the baby shower will take place and make it look like a real saloon. Bring a small piano and a piano player, install a rustic bar, and add to the place a lot of decorations like blow up cactus's and plush horses. A cake shaped like a cowboy boot will be a nice touch. For the centerpiece, instead of a diaper cake, you should create a something that reminds more of Wild West, for example, sheriff's star made of baby towels and baby diapers. A very sweet touch would be to prepare for all the guests sheriff's stars with the baby name on them as favors. Complete the decorations with bouquets of wild flowers and daisies, to be consistent with the western theme you picked.
Set the mood with some country western music and possibly a swing dancing contest, if your guests are willing to indulge in this activity. You don't really need any music if you don't want it, but it can be a nice touch.
As for food, it also needs to be western, so think about some delicious dishes you can make on the barbecue. Steaks, hamburgers or ribs, with all sorts of salads, will certainly make your guests and the mom-to-be feel like they were transported directly to a farm from the west. Keep it simple with the dessert too: some apple pies, lemon pies and pecan pies will do the job perfectly. If the weather is nice, like in the springtime, you can even eat outside and enjoy the weather.
You can find and order western theme baby shower decorations on the Internet, or you can make a lot of them yourself - small cowboy paper hats, cowboy boots and others. A nice teddy bear dressed as a sheriff or cowboy is always a nice touch. If the weather is good, you can simply move the party outside. It will be even more fun, since the people will have enough space to dance. You can even organize a karaoke show with country songs for your guests: they will certainly have a lot of fun with all that.
