V is for Valentine Update: I forgot to mention one last V-day gift that I wouldn’t mind getting. I saw these gems at Wal-Mart Optical (who knew?) the other day – and they would be perfect for the honeymoon in Antigua this June. Actually, I think it might be a good idea to get these with my prescription.

Wal-Mart, Pomy Women's 401 Black/White Sunglasses, $26

Now that my list is available, I thought it might be nice to put out a Malentine list aka a list of things a man might want for Valentine’s Day. Now, if you were to ask my fiance Marcus what he wants for the big day, he’d probably rattle off some sort of fishing utensil or camouflage hunting gear. And that is part of the reason I love him. He always says what he wants and will actually use it too. His gifts from me usually don’t gather dust in the closet corner.

Here are a few man-gifts that aren’t dust collectors either:

Boden, Men's Leather Moccasins, $99

Target, Valetine-Themed Boxers, $3.50 each

Ralph Lauren, Create Your Own Polo, $79.50

Patagonia, Men's Torrentshell Jacket, $119
