Well, that’s January done and dusted and here we are in February.
I’ve been browsing the shops for gifts for guys for Valentine’s Day and you have lots to choose from.
Book worm
If your guy enjoys reading, why not buy him a book, book voucher or magazine. There are quite a few “men’s” mags on the market now; GO R45, Men’s Health R42, Destiny R34.90, Top Gear RR32 and Car R35.90.
Sweet tooth
Tall, Dark and Handsome Dark Chocolate Slab, 300g for R59.95; Light My Fire milk chocolate with whiskey ganache, 90g at R39.95 (Woolworths).
Looking smart
Cotton boxers R95 pp, silk boxers R110 pp. AU Trunks R130; Shorts pj set from R299; Three pairs cotton rich socks in red, black and grey R69.95 (All Woolworths).
Edgars, Markhams, Truworths and Queenspark, all have stunning clothing for guys, so if you know his size treat him to a shirt or jersey.
If none of those ideas is for your man, how about a Ryan Hoffman coffee mug R35; Love water bottle (still spring water) R49.95; Hot Stuff mug R69.95; Origame Love Game with chocolates and tiny marshmallows for only R24.95 (all Woolies).
Still stuck? A packet of biltong, nuts and red wine, wrapped in red cellophane and tied with….. a tie! Now that’s something different! Don’t want to go to the expense of a tie, use string.
Green fingers
Lots of men enjoy gardening, choose a tree or plant from your local nursery; gardening gloves or tools. You could even make up a gardening hamper. Use a cardboard box and coverin wrapping paper. Line the bottom with crumpled tissue paper (green) and put in packets of seeds and bulbs; a gardening magazine; gardening gloves; small hand trowel and fork and wrap the whole lot in green cellophane.
Now, you’ve no excuse, so spoil him a little.
Bouquet of the Week
Vanja from Brackenhurst gives a bouquet to Telkom shop in Alberton City. “We went into the Telkom shop at Alberton City (by OK Furniture) last week and were served by Edith. What a friendly helpful lady she is and she has the most amazing smile. All resolved in less than ten minutes. Thank you Edith.”
