Is it lame to get a Valentine’s Day Gift for BOTH of us?

The Question

Dear Karen,
Valentine’s Day is Sunday and like a lot of guys I procrastinated. I haven’t gotten my girlfriend a gift yet, but I thought of something that would be good for BOTH of us.

We live together, and I was thinking of getting a fire pit. We have a little patio where it would fit perfectly, and sitting around the fire is kind of a romantic thing to do when the weather gets a little warmer around here.

Do you think it’s lame of me to get a valentine’s Day present that’s for BOTH of us and not just for her?

I haven’t bought it yet…but I would like to.

Karen’s Answer

Hey Jay,
I actually think the Fire Pit is a pretty good idea. That is, if you know that is something she would like.

If it is…then do it…BUT I would also throw in a bouquet of flowers and maybe a nice romantic dinner if you can swing it.

If the weather on The Cape was going to be a little warmer this weekend…you could sit around the fire enjoying a romantic dessert together but you may have to save that for the spring!

Enjoy your Valentine’s Day!

Karen
