Gifts with what I term "Bragging Rights" are the best.

If you can give it to her in front of other woman especially where she works she gets bragging rights in the office for days.

If you can give it to her in front of her Mother and even include a sister she gets to show the whole family "she made the right choice". This move can be hard to pull off and the gift has to be something special...like anything with diamonds in it, candy or flowers doesn't buy you anything for bragging rights, and can result in the "Cheap Label" being applied for anothe year.

Valentines day is about making her feel like she made the right decision when she married your worthless diesel smelling butt

Good luck on your "quest" to appear like the perfect guy, but remember before you spend the big bucks on that diamond ring she always wanted you gotta face all your buddies and "the look" of being whipped.
