No Candy and No Flowers


From Boaz Ministries

C’mon my brothers, surely we can be more creative in our gift giving for Valentine’s Day than the boring and predictable Valentine’s Day staple of candy and flowers.

If we think real hard and go back over some time, we can think of something she saw and spoke of, or something you know she likes or likes to do. Women are not as traditional as we might think they are. They are adventurous, like to be surprised, and like excitement in all areas of their lives. For example, if you know your woman’s favorite color is blue, you could buy her a nice blue dress (Springtime fashions are here) beautifully wrapped in blue wrapping paper with a card that is not overdone with pink and red hearts. The idea here is that you remembered what her favorite color is and thought of it for her on Valentine’s Day. I know there are many things you know about your woman that can be used as inspiration for a gift of some kind. The gift to you is the surprised smile on her face.

I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day. It reduces love to obligatory gift giving and commercializes the most precious thing that can be shared between a man and a woman and that is love. However, I am a big fan of showing love and affection in thoughtful, sincere ways all year long.

When we do something out of the ordinary that pleases our women, it creates a spark in their heart for us. Then the magic of appreciation comes forth in ways only a woman in love can bring.

We’ve got four days to think outside the box of chocolates and garden of flowers to find something special and different for our women. Happy shopping!
