How do you tell her "I love you" this Valentine's Day?

How do you tell her "I love you" this Valentine's Day? With diamonds. With perfume. With flowers.
Let's face it, the shopper needs to only turn on a television orflip opena magazine for inspiration.
But when it comes to finding the perfect gift for men, the process requires a little more work, a little more creativity.
"I think you have to know your guy. You have to know who you're dealing with," psychotherapist and lifestyle coach Stacy Kaiser said.
"It should be about what they want, not what you think they should want."
It can be a difficult finding the right gift. It can be a token or expression and, most important, heartfelt, psychologist Joyce Brothers said.
Here are five things that say "I love you" to that special guy you want to be your Valentine.
Gadgets: Kaiser said gadgets, electronic or otherwise, are the No. 1 gift for men, such as a video game system, a flat-screen television or a LCD photo frame.
Lingerie: Often viewed as a gift for her, it really is a gift for him, said lingerie designer Mary Green. "Men seem to have very specific ideas about what they like on women," she said.
Functional: If a man is a sports fan, buy tickets for the two of you to go to a game, Kaiser said. Or if he enjoys cooking, buy him a gift for the kitchen.
Gimmicks: The best gift, relationship experts say, is not always store-bought. In many cases, a simple gesture can say "I love you."
Consider a romantic gesture, such as a foot rub or body massage, Brother said.
Say it with words: Brothers said buying a card on Valentine's Day is not the way to say "I love you." She said the giver should write a romantic note to include in the card. Better yet, she said, tell the man how much you adores him.

今年情人節(jié)打算帶給她什么驚喜？鉆石首飾？香水？還是鮮花？
別為難了，還是打開電視或者翻翻雜志來找點(diǎn)靈感吧！
不過如果要為你的“他”選一份完美的情人節(jié)禮物，可能得多費(fèi)點(diǎn)力氣、多花點(diǎn)心思。
心理治療師、生活方式教練斯達(dá)西·凱瑟說：“首先你要了解你的男人，你要知道他的喜好?！?/font>
“你要知道他想要什么，而不是你認(rèn)為他應(yīng)該想要什么?！?/font>
心理學(xué)家喬伊斯·布羅澤說，選對(duì)一份禮物很難。這個(gè)禮物可以是一樣?xùn)|西、一句表達(dá)，最重要的是，要真心真意。
若想給你的他送上一份情人節(jié)禮物，可參考以下五種選擇：
小玩意：凱瑟說，小玩意、電子產(chǎn)品等類似的東西是男性禮物的首選，比如，電子游戲系統(tǒng)、平面電視或液晶相框。
內(nèi)衣：內(nèi)衣設(shè)計(jì)師瑪麗·格林說，內(nèi)衣通常被認(rèn)為是送給女性的禮物，實(shí)際上，送給男性也不錯(cuò)。她說：“男性對(duì)于女性的穿戴似乎總有十分獨(dú)到的觀點(diǎn)。”
實(shí)用的東西：凱瑟說，如果他是一個(gè)體育迷，那就買兩張票，和他一起去看比賽。如果他喜歡烹飪，那就買一樣廚房用品送給他。
你自己的小發(fā)明：兩性關(guān)系專家認(rèn)為，最好的禮物往往不是在商店里買的。在很多時(shí)候，一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的動(dòng)作便能夠傳達(dá)愛意。
布羅澤說，可以嘗試一下如足底按摩或身體按摩等浪漫的“動(dòng)作”。
言語(yǔ)表達(dá)：布羅澤說，送一張空白賀卡并不能表達(dá)愛意。要在賀卡里夾上一張浪漫字條，告訴他你有多么愛他。
