And the good:
  • “She was out of town for a few months so we couldn’t be together, but she sent me a package with nothing in it but a pair of sexy underwear from Victoria’s Secret. The thought of her in them kept me going until I saw her next.” Bryan, 21.
  • “She thought about what I would want to do. We went to a basketball game, ate hot dogs and cheered for my team.” Michael, 20.
  • “She gave me the video game I’d been dying to have. What can I say, I’m a nerd.” Chris, 29.
  • "I'm in a long distance relationship, so my girlfriend and I couldn't be together for Valentine's Day. She sent me my favorite dessert—homemade rice-crispy treats. I love to get packages in the mail, especially when it's food." Josh, 32.
  • "My girlfriend reserved a hotel room for the night. When we got there a chilled bottle of champagne was sitting on the nightstand. We never left the room." Mike, 26.
 
Your man may not be super creative and, although I’m sure you’d like to pout over your 7-Eleven roses and chocolate, tonight is not the night to teach him about good gift giving. Instead, show him what you can do with some rose petals, chocolate and a red g-string. See, I told you it would come in handy.
