I'm really bad at gift giving especially on Valentine's Day (I only had 1 Valentine's Day where I wasn't single). This is the guy I have gone out on 6 dates with in just a bit over a week. He is gone this week for a skiing trip with friends but we have a date the day after he comes back. Again we have seen each other every other day or so.
He made a reservation at a nice restaurant. I figure he will just do something like flowers and chocolate which I like (I'm traditional). I don't want to give him something safe (like just giving him a cute mug with chocolates in it). I was thinking of putting together a bag of things I know he needs but it's really random (SPF 70 spray, Tend Skin for shaving, and a keychain from a place where we had 1 of the best dates of my life along with Hershey Hugs and Kisses). Does that seem good or too impersonal? I'm adding a card to it.
Don't over think this to insanity.
Not to be anti-valenties day ( though I do totally think it is stupid holiday ).
Some times trying too hard works against you.
Keep it romantic and simple.
I don't know too many men that care that much as this stuff.
I use to go over the top with men I was in relationships with and frankly it really was not worth all the effort. I once stayed up all night to create a me and you scrap book with photos and stuff of me and a boy freind... where it is now .... in a land fill somewhere.
Whatever you mentioned sounds good.... just make sure it wrapped nice and it should work.

Good point. So sorry about your scrapbook, that is sad, and a good lesson. I used to go overboard too, because I'm a romantic at heart, but I've learned that it sometimes made my man feel uncomfortable (especially if they did not put in as much effort or expense). It's better to error on the side of being conservative and keep it simple.
For someone I've dated only 6 times, I would give him a funny card, rather than a mushy, sweet card.

Also want to add if you have not been involved for that long going over the top may only serve to make his ego swell. Some people like myself like to go over the top with most things ... ex you want to do it to the best of your ability. Some people interpret that as trying too hard. I vote sweet and simple.
Regarding the scrap book ...
You live and learn. I am not 100% not that nice any more!
Regardless only time will tell if he was worthy any effort at all. I hope she does not put too much pressure on herself regarding the gift and has a nice time that night.

Whatever you do, don't book a massage therapist to surprise him at his office with a fold-up table for a 1-hour massage. His co-workers will give him grief for months.
Don't ask me how I know.
In my experience, the simpler the better and yes, most of the best ideas have already been suggested in this thread.

If he has a sweet tooth present him with a nice warm Cinnabon.
