Happy Valentine's Day season, lovebirds. Here's how to impress your wife, fiancé, girlfriend, or that cute girl in your building you've been flirting with for months:
1. Don't get her that gaudy chocolate diamond necklace that jewelry stores are shoving down your throat.
That's it, that's the whole gift guide.
OK, maybe it's not that easy, but finding a romantic Valentine's Day gift that's not a complete cliché doesn't have to be hard. Why give her jewelry every year when she's been complaining about how crappy her tablet is?
