Valentines day has been around since Roman times, and love it or hate it, it’s probably not going to disappear anytime soon. So if you’re stuck for ideas and the whole roses and chocolate thing has been done to death already why not try something a little bit different this year?
Here you’ll find some interestingly different gifts that will put a smile on your girlfriends face this Valentines Day. Just a bit of advice steer clear of any gifts they relate to house work, an ironing board cover that reveals a mans naughty bits may seem like a good idea at the time, but trust me you’ll end up being the bad guy with a gift like that!

If the lady in your life is a bit of a socialite and loves to entertain, maybe she just likes to pop open a bottle of wine after a long day at work, then you might want to consider the Intelligent Wine Cooler/Warmer V2. Now you may have seen wine coolers before but not like this, the V2 has the correct drinking temperature of 33 different wines pre-programmed into it, so your good lady will never have to drink wine at the wrong temperature again. The LCD screen and easy function buttons make it simple to use after a few tipples, and you’ll even find a handy waiters friend that pops out at the back.

If you want a bit of raunchy fun on Valentines Night have a look at Carmen Electra’s home pole dancing kit the Electra-Pole, it’s strong enough to support over 15 stone although it’s recommended that you bolt it to the ceiling for the chunkier dancer. The Electra Pole comes with a DVD to instruct you with the set up. As one of the founding members of the Pussycat Dolls, Carmen Electra is suggesting that this is not only great for a steamy night in for two, but it’s also a great exercise tool giving your Mrs chance to tone all the essential areas. Maybe not such a good idea to put it that way to the other half though.

You can name it whatever you like ideally after your partner, but it will be an eternal sign of your love in the heavens.

The last one on the list is a sure fire way to get her dizzy on Valentines day, it’s a pretty well known fact that chocolate effects women differently to men, and more than likely you’ll have seen chocolate fountains in every gimmicky shop on the high street. I’m guessing you’ve not seen a Double Chocolate Fountain though. The clue is in the name you can have to streams of chocolate cascading at the same time, and your other half will love this if they have a serious chocolate addiction.
