If you don’t know what to get your sweetie for Valentine’s Day, let the Internet help. Here are some Web sites that can help you find the perfect gift.
Amazon.com – To get you in the right direction, ask him to create an online wish list of items he might like. Perhaps even create your own list. (Note: You can even design an engagement ring, if you want to drop an unmistakable hint.)
Redenvelope.com and Rollingidea.com –These two shopping sites allow you to search by occasion, relationship type and interests.
Skinit.com — If he’s a technology guy, customize his laptop, smart phone or MP3 player. Design your own or pick his favorite sports team, nature shot or color scheme.
You can also get his MP3 player or phone engraved. Various companies offer this, so if you can steal away his device for a minute (good luck!), you can return it to him with customization.
Shopcomposition.com — Wallets, pens and watches have never been so exciting. This local company brings great design and style to the basics. The site is fun and interactive. With the click of a button, the items spin onto the page in a clean layout. It lets you quickly drill in deeper, e-mail it to a friend and add to your cart. And, yes, you may just have to pick up a few things for yourself while you’re there.
Cloud9living.com — When you want to give an experience, rather than something tangible, call on local company, Cloud 9 Living to help. Whether it’s a glider rider and brewery tour or ultimate golf package, these guys take care of all the details to give the unwrappable.
