he's the bomb. valentine's gift guide.

ain't he the [spice] bomb?
while we're sitting pretty in peach, we like our guys a little more dark and mysterious. here are my picks for [black] accessories that are masculine and edgy.

Viktor Rolf 'Spicebomb', $50

spicy. with notes of pink pepper & grapefruit, to cinnamon & saffron, to leather & tobacco, this just sounds manly. if not for the scent, get this for the bottle. it's just cool. 

Armani Exchange Bracelet Watch, $180

one word...sexy.

Nike Zoom Pegasus 31 Running Shoe, $100

athlete or not, the nike pegasus is a great neutral shoe that's stylish enough to wear whether he's working out or not.

Jack Black All-Over Wash, $28

the ultimate guy cleansing product for hair, face, and body. pair it with the Industrial Strength Hand Healer for those hard-working hands and the Intense Therapy Lip Balm to keep those lips kissable,

Diptyque 'Baies' Candle, $90

a man candle, or "mandle", as i recall hearing...the noire is presented in black colored glass with scents of rose and blackcurrant leaves.

Silk Skull Crossbones Tie, $15

is your man a suit? this cool tie would be perfect for casual edgy fridays.

The Riviera 53mm Sunglasses, $53

these shades will definitely raise the coolness factor of the person wearing them.

6-Pack of Beer Socks, $60

for the guy who will literally run for beer, how fun are these beer socks? not a beer drinker? liquor, wine, and even food socks available, too.

Filson Original Briefcase, $265

every guy needs a great briefcase. the original is rugged and functional with plenty of room. or splurge on the 72-Hour Briefcase which includes a Joey electronics charger that's perfect for your working guy on the go.

*     *     *

what to drink?

rich and mellow wood-aged port wine.

Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Old Tawny Port

pairs perfectly with many desserts. try serving it with a plate of figs, strawberries, and nuts.

LAQA & Co "fiver", $40

i'm not too familiar with this particular subscription box, but based on a review of their last box (tarte bronzing serum? yes, please!), it's totally worth its $21 price. four full-sized products and one luxury sample-sized item, the box definitely pays for itself and more.

have you entered the $200 Amazon GIVEAWAY?

Datevitation review + GIVEAWAY.

[i received one book for the purpose of this review;

all opinions are 100% mine.]

remember those coupons you used to make as a kid for your mom or dad offering one day to take out the trash or one free car wash?

then as you got older, you made coupons for your special someone for one free massage or a romantic dinner cooked by yours truly...

and when those coupons landed you a marriage proposal, you got married, had kids, and made coupons for them good for one day free of chores, or an outing of their choice.

well, guess what? Datevitation.com is the web's first online platform to create a custom love coupon book. no more pre-packaged love coupon books. customize your book with specific places and or details to make it extra personal and special.

with a library of over 500 customizable dates (activities) ranging from hot air balloon rides to romantic sunsets to steamy adult-only activities, you can create a one-of-a-kind book.

love coupon books start at just $25 making them a fun, easy, and economical gift for your partner, friend, or children.

there's even an exciting new feature that allows you to add photos of your own faces for the illustrations! i tried it on a book for mini-she, and it is super easy and fun. it doesn't get any more personalized than that!

the coupons are printed on good quality 60# paper, and each page is perforated so you can easily tear them out to redeem. the books also come with an envelope so you don't have to worry about wrapping them.

are you getting ideas yet? check out the giveaway below to win your own love coupon book.
