Evil Valentine's Day Gifts

What do you think is the worst Valentine's Day Gift you could possibly give?
A scale? A vacuum? A copy of He's Just Not That Into You?
How about that new video game you always wanted - for her?

Nice try, but you can do better!

How about a ‘diamond’ key ring to put an end to the hints?




Or how about a lovely pair of smittens?




Nothing says I love you like a pink appliance!




Show her how you feel with her very own copy of wii fit!
(She'll love your honesty)



Now you could do worse, like buying her a star or giving her your blood in a vial, or the Chasity Belt Lingerie (with GPS ) or the Halitosis Kiss-O-Meter.

But did you know that Valentine's Day is an opportunity in disguise!
Besides the love of your life (or old flame), you can show others how you feel too!

Why wait for April fool's day when you can take action now.
Why not send that special someone (that you despise) a copy of a subscription of “Barely Legal” or how about a good old gay magazine. I know my ex boss can look forward to a copy of both!

Or how about an "inflatable friend" rigged to a inflate when the package is opened. Great for the office! Like in this video.

Show them you don't give a crap about them with the gift that keeps on giving!

Valentines Gift Guide

The day is approaching fast - have you found a Valentine's day gift idea? What will it be? Chocolates? Flowers? Perfume? A necklace?

Every year we go through the Valentine's gift routine, and while many of us don't want to get the same old thing, we fail to come up with anything so unique (usually) and end up going with... the same old thing. It's safe, and easy to do.

This year I have taken it upon myself to get you through what could be the most challenging day of the year with my...

Valentine's Gift Guide

Let's suppose that you have enough common sense to realize that Bacon Flavored Valentine's Gifts are not a great idea. And let's face it, not everyone can afford wildly expensive gifts either. But fear not, as you do have options. Let's get to them shall we?

If you interested in cool Valentine's day ideas, hopefully these will do it for you.

How about an overnight wine tasting break in the country with dinner for two? Link
Or you might want to pamper her with a spa day - Link

Looking for something a little more extravagant? How about Godiva Chocolates or perhaps something like a Burberry Touch fragrance?

If you're thinking knickers and lingerie, you might try the loveletter bra, or something from laPerla will keep you out of the dog house.

My personal favorite idea so far is a Swarovski pendant, which isn't overly expensive and still pleasing. I think it has a good balance in the gift giving for this particular day, but that's just me.

This is the busy time for people looking for love online, and if you're on Facebook you might want to check What not to do on Facebook on Valentine’s Day guide.

You can also check this guide on Last Minute and Last Resort Gift Ideas if needed. And if you prefer a more hand on approach, you can try Valentine's Day gifts you can make yourself. You might even find an affordable jewelery idea over here, or more ideas here and here.

One thing to remember while doing your Valentine's shopping - most of the items are probably eligible for a cashback of some kind, so might as well take advantage of it.

And if you're wondering what she's thinking, this might give your some clues.

Hope that helps - us guys have to stick together!

Shopping for Deals

Funny thing about shopping online is how much time you can spend looking for deals. There's certainly no shortage of places to look online!

My bookmarks grow by the day, yet the 3 links in the column of this blog seem to be the ones I go to the most. But since I'm addicted to deals, I always want to check around if I can save a little more.

Lucy Pinder and Jordan Debate

It's heating up between Jordan and Lucy Pinder!

Jordan has accused Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lucy Pinder of being a bloke.
"I tell you – she’s a man with balls, that one,’ says Jordan, 30. 'Beneath that skirt is a bloke with b******s. "

On leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house and hearing Jordan’s views, an angry Lucy Pinder said;
“You know what, Victoria Beckham summed her up in one word: Vile. That’s what she is."

Jordan says she met Lucy about 10 years ago when she was an aspiring model and even gave her some helpful tips on how to take care of herself in the industry, but it all backfired when Lucy allegedly started bad-mouthing Jordan.

Shopping and Saving

Always interested in useful shopping links so I thought I'd share a few I found recently.

DaveChaffey has loads of good info, along with the moneysavingexpert. But there was only one site to check when I wanted Vouchers. HUKD has been one of my favorites for eons.

Although this article is a bit outdated there's some good info too.

Other interesting sites include make, instructables, and LifeHacker.
