A Camcorder. It’s a little boring as a Valentines idea for him isn’t it?

No, I disagree.

A camcorder makes a wonderful Valentines idea for him in my view. Not boring at all. It’s a way for him, and you, to record all those extra special times that matter to you both.

Maybe it’s the kids as they grow up, or things you both do together, holidays, or anything else that’s extra special to you both.

That’s a romantic gift in my view. A gift that allows you both to record those special moments in his, and your, life.

There’s only one problem. A camcorder can be bulky, irritating to use and annoying to carry. It gets in the way of what you’re doing.

No longer. It’s now possible to get camcorders that are very small. Of course everyone knows the small recorders you get on your cell phone. Problem is the quality isn’t what you want and the memory isn’t either.

Now you can get a dedicated camcorder that’s only slightly larger than a pack of cards. It goes in his pocket without driving him nuts, and produces high quality videos, (and pictures). It’s called The Shirt Pocket Camcorder. Read more

So do men really like chocolates for Valentines Day?

I wrote recently about chocolates as a fine gift for a man on Valentines Day. And I was asked by a reader if chocolates were REALLY a good gift for a man. Obviously she doesn’t know many men who like chocolate, or else she hasn’t asked them if they do.

I’ll quote a comment I got from one of my readers recently.

“Amen brothah! Chocolate is a great gift for anyone. I also read a statistic recently that while women fess up to being chocoholics far more than men, 2/3 of the chocolate women buy to give away or share. Men almost always eat the chocolate they purchase. True story.”

So if you’re looking for a gift for that day this February, then consider Valentines Day chocolates for him.

Only problem I find is that when you look you tend to find that most chocolates are packaged for women. I was looking at some of the fine chocolates from Chatham’s Fine Chocolate. Read more
