It’s that time of year — Valentine’s Day is nearly upon us, which means men everywhere are starting to sweat a little.
Well, some men. There are a few out there that are excellent at knowing just what to give their wives. Men who listen to the cues their wives (intentionally or not) give off about things they love or want or desire. With my husband I’ve been very lucky. He’s surprised me with everything from an iPad to favorite wines to a gift card from my favorite jewelry store.
But what about those wonderful men who aren’t quite so certain? Or just don’t have that built in radar that picks up on the “oohs” and “aahs” their ladies send out? I’ve been in that boat, too, and they are tough waters to navigate. I can recall when requests for a beautiful locket on Mother’s day, so that I could wear my children’s baby pictures, turned into a not so attractive necklace with a big gold “Mother” hanging on my chest. In the end I learned to simply purchase gifts for myself and put them under the tree from him. Unfortunately, this led to some unhappiness on his part, and eventually led to my not getting anything from him on holidays because I had probably “bought something from him already.” What is a girl to do?
I am now a firm believer that if they ask what you want, TELL THEM. Don’t dance around it or hint — just tell!
And if they don’t ask? Then this year I suggest you get a little help from your new friends at Helzberg Diamonds. Helzberg wants you to leave nothing to chance this Valentine’s Day! Whether you want to drop little hints or nudge him in a specific direction, they’ll help any man on the trail towards the perfect gift — one that comes in a burgundy box.

Do not miss out on the chance to win either a $1,000 Helzberg gift card or a 14 carat white gold STARRA diamond pendent (retail value $549.99).

I know I’ve already completed my own entry to win, and now that I’ve navigated around their site a bit, I have some specific ideas of what my wonderful man could gift me this February 14, in the off chance he doesn’t already have a clever idea. Plus it couldn’t hurt to know what I would buy with a gift card, should I be lucky enough to win. Good luck ladies! And thank you Helzberg Diamonds for this compensated opportunity!
