7 Inexpensive Gift Ideas for the Older Man
A young woman just can't go wrong if she knows her older man's taste, but if he isn't one for being specific about his preferences, here are some gift ideas that are useful and will make him smile!
1. Wrinkle-free dress shirts. A professional man with a tight schedule doesn't like ironing or at times dropping off or picking up clothing from the cleaners. The young woman might purchase quality shirts in navy blue, gray or white for her mature man. To play it safe, avoid bright colors and bold prints.
2. Cologne is a good idea when you have some idea what he already has. If he enjoys subtle colognes like a musk or others that you can smell before he hits the door, you might want to do your research and let him smell some cologne samples before you buy one. However, if he is an allergy sufferer, pass on this gift idea, and instead get some useful hair and body items that are fragrance free and are designed for sensitive skin.
3. Ties along with a nice set of cuff links are a great gift if he is often in the public or travels to formal events. If you go along with this idea, be sure you have checked out what he already has to get some idea of his taste. Don't take a chance wasting your money on something silly just because you like it. He most likely will laugh about it, but he won't wear it.
4. Avoid jewelry unless you have been with the gentleman for a long time and know his taste well. Although a major purchase might flatter him, you don't want to go broke in the hopes of a serious commitment and nothing comes of it. Expensive gift items have a way of conveying exclusivity. You also don't want to be disappointed during your gift exchange only to find out the item he bought for you was inexpensive and meaningless. Instead of jewelry, get him something that helps him organize what he already has. So if he has many necklaces, rings, or cufflinks, seek out a nice-looking organizer.
5. Printed media is always a great gift for someone who loves to read, but not so much for the man who enjoys watching television or movies online. So be sure the media you choose goes along with his preference.
6. Collectible items are great gifts if you know what he enjoys collecting. If he has a favorite team, you might want to get something within reason to add to his office décor or his "man cave."
7. Spiritual men love anything that reaffirms their faith, makes them feel good, and is helpful to their godly assignments. So if you know how to pray, ask God to lead you to something that is worthwhile. Beautiful plaques, cups, framed pictures, key chains, book covers, book marks, and other Christian items make for great gifts.
Other items you might want to look out for on sale include: sweatshirts, belts, socks, underwear, hats with favorite teams/logos, and useful electronics under $100.

Last Minute Valentine's Day Gifts for a Young Woman
Most men will show up at a lady friend's door with flowers and candy, this is still a hit with most women. However, what if she has allergies and chocolate isn't her favorite candy? Here are simple, inexpensive gifts to make her smile.
1. Something she has often mentioned and still has yet to buy. For the men who pay close attention to their dates, try getting a few of those inexpensive things and then include a Valentine's Day card mentioning that, "I was listening when you said you needed..."
2. A cute box to hold future clutter with something inside like a decorative picture frame of the two of you is memorable. Include a card.
3. His and hers anything with a note. From a couple of pretty wine glasses to a quality towel set, these items say, "I still believe in our relationship..."
4. Costume jewelry is only good when it does have lots of gold and other paint on it that can easily come off. Look closely for signs of tarnishing. Also, keep in mind, that if she doesn't typically wear beaded items, decorative charms, etc. and has skin allergies, don't take the chance buying cheaply made items.
5. Valentine's day is also a good time to pass on a family heirloom for committed couples--not those who are just getting to know one another.
6. Create a handmade card and include a bottle of perfume that you would like to smell on her.
7. Purchase a gift card to her favorite store, nail or beauty shop.
8. Write a letter and include an I.O.U. coupon promising to take her to an outing, perform a service, or something else since you forgot to plan for the holiday.
Other things include: balloons, stuffed animals, a pretty red or pink shirt, an accessory by a favorite designer, a book of a favorite celebrity, something engraved with her name on it...
Remember, these are items you would give someone you are just getting to know. But women who have been around for years, you will have to do better! Electronics, gold or sterling silver jewelry, birthstones, airplane tickets, money, pay off a bill, help with chores for the day--unexpected things always blow them away!
Have a Happy Valentines Day!
