Like many Aussie men, I'm not the most romantic a bloke could be, but I've had two flashes of romatic brilliance in my life (apart from the proposal, of course). The first idea I had came to me a few years ago, and is based on the idea that all women love getting flowers. However, men usually don't know a lot about flowers, and there are so many choices, and lets face it you want to make sure she gets the flowers she would like the most, right? So:
1. Buy her a gift voucher for a florist.
The second idea came to me while I was driving to the beauty therapist a couple of weeks ago (I was going in search of squeezable containers that might fit in the handle of an iPood). On the way there I had my next brilliant romantic idea:
2. Buy her a gift voucher for a beauty therapist for $0, attached to a card which says, "You are so beautiful already, there's nothing more a beauty therapist could possibly do!".
My wife was not impressed by either of these ideas. I just don't understand women sometimes.
