Get it Right This Valentine's Day: Gift Ideas from Jewelry Boxes 123

At this point, most men over the age of sixteen have discovered that Valentine’s Day is a gift-giving minefield. From the moment you see the date on the calendar, you’re set up for failure. Here are the top five reasons why jewelry boxes are the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift ideas.

Jewelry Boxes Can’t Be Mistaken for Diamonds

If you plan to buy jewelry for the woman in your life this Valentine’s Day, be very careful. If you’re not engaged, that little velvet box looks very much like it could contain a diamond engagement ring. If you’re married, then she’s hoping for the diamond anniversary band, diamond journey necklace, or 2-carat diamond studs women’s magazines have conditioned her to want. It’s unlikely you’ve bought the thing she’s expecting to see inside that box, so now you lose. Here’s how the conversation with her best friend will go the next day:

Girlfriend: So, John took me out to this gorgeous restaurant last night.

Best Friend: You’re so lucky. He’s so romantic.

Girlfriend: And then he handed me this little velvet box.

Best friend’s eyes widen with excitement: Oh my God, did he?

Girlfriend shakes her head: It was just a pair of emerald earrings.

Best friend heaves a sigh, and mutters something disparaging about men.

. . . Save yourself the trouble and buy a jewelry box instead.

Jewelry Boxes Don’t Die

Roses are lovely, and expensive, but for the same amount of money, you can buy a gift that won’t rot and die a week later. Sure, you could buy her a rose bush that won’t die, but now you’ve got to dig a hole, plant it in the yard, and care for it. An elegant mahogany wood jewelry box won't require any more work on your part.

Jewelry Boxes Don’t Imply Anything

If you’re not married or engaged, then buying a woman jewelry implies that you intend to continue buying her jewelry. Instead, buy her a jewelry box. It says, “I know you like to wear jewelry, so I bought you something nice to keep it in.” You win points because you showed you thought about her, but you haven’t locked yourself into anything -- another win for you.

Jewelry Boxes Don’t Give You Indigestion

Aside from the hassle of getting Valentine’s Day reservations, driving to the restaurant, tipping everyone, and paying for an insanely expensive meal, a heavy dinner could lead to indigestion. Indigestion is not conducive to other popular Valentine’s Day activities. Instead of taking her to an expensive and crowded restaurant, order in and present her with a lovely jewelry box. Unless you eat the wood, it’s guaranteed not to make you sick. You win bonus points if you cook for her (unless you cook ramen noodles.)

Jewelry Boxes Are Cheaper than Jewelry

Does it seem like the cost of jewelry doubles around Valentine’s Day? Avoid the jewelry industry conspiracy by avoiding jewelry. Instead, get her an affordable leather jewelry box. It will make her think of jewelry, but it will save you a bunch of cash.

A well-chosen jewelry box can help you successfully navigate the Valentine’s Day gift battlefield. That’s why men consistently tell us the box they bought was one of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas they ever had.
