Valentine’s day is quickly approaching and your local drug stores are filling up with the typical fare of the day. So what is a good gift for your guy?

To start if you can find it at a pharmacy, it is not a good gift. So don’t even consider those “hot stuff” boxers.

Many women turn to the more common stand by gift of buying their guy candy. Candy is always nice, but you cannot buy him a $4.99 box of Whitman’s when he is going to get you a nice piece of jewelry.

If you want to go the way of chocolate as a gift, check out L.A. Burdick’s handmade chocolates. L.A. Burdick is famous for their popular chocolate mice and chocolate penguins, which appeal to your guy’s cute side, but are still made of manly dark chocolate.  They also use unique ingredients in their candies such as port wine, rose hips, and chamomile, which makes them extra delectable. Their Valentine’s Day collection has gifts ranging in price from $12 to $48. Visit their website at www.burdickchocolate.com/.

If you are looking for something a little longer lasting or a little more personal try shopping at Things Remembered. Things Remembered stores and kiosks are in most malls and are filled with all different types of gifts that can be personalized. Whether your man is into golf, cigars, or he’s a little more feminine; there is a gift for every guy. No man could resist a flask with his initials, or if you want to be more romantic engrave both of your names on a pocket watch or credit card case, so that he can carry a reminder of you with him daily. Visit Things Remembered at www.thingsremembered.com.

If you still haven’t found the perfect gift for your man, (or even if you have) than buy a gift for both him and yourself with the Kama Sutra line of products. The Kama Sutra line is not as risqué as it sounds; it is a line of romance inspiring spa products. The Kama Sutra line carries high quality products with scents and sensations like no other. Inspire many nights of passion with these awe-inspiring oils, lotions, and “honey dust”.  Order online at www.kamasutra.com/ or purchase at select spas and specialty stores. Gift set prices range from $21.99 to $69.99.

If you are looking for gift that is a bit sexier, women of all sizes can find intimate wear ranging from pretty to risqué at Frederick’s of Hollywood. Unlike the more commonly known Victoria’s Secret, Frederick’s is a little wilder and caters more to larger women. Sizes at Frederick’s range from bra sizes 32A to 38F and lingerie from small to 3X, but most of their lingerie tends be geared towards larger women. Find Fredericks in many malls or on the web at www.fredericks.com/.

If the gift you are looking for is not for a boyfriend or husband there are many great gifts to be found for the other men on your life. www.gourmetgiftbaskets.com/ is a great place to find gifts for brothers or fathers. NBC picked gourmetgiftbaskets.com as the best holiday sight for gift baskets and have been featured in many serious publications, which are listed on their website. These baskets are guaranteed to arrive on time, on the date that you pick and are filled with all sorts of goodies ranging from beer to golf balls. Take a look at the Around the World gift basket, which is filled with 12 beers from around the world and all sorts of snacks.

Whatever you price range, there are gifts for every guy available from these fine companies. So just remember when you pass by one of those flash dancing gorillas or magnetic kissing stuffed dogs, there are better gifts out there, gifts he would actually like.
