Stress and panic may be felt when choosing a gift before the fateful February 14th. When Valentine’s Day comes, buying a gift has a connotation motivated by insipid fears and indecisions, so Quotidianomime offers a list of gifts for all budgets.

Lovers live to wait to see each other, immersed in the illusions of “forever” quantify the moments together in the flow of the hands on a clock. If your boyfriend is not too interested in fashion, think about giving him a watch, which can count down the time left until your next ‘romantic appointment’.

For more fashionable taste, you may dedicate a love song made of silk scarves. Frankie Morello for spring proposed famous verses reinterpreted into a pop version. To take a part of who you love with you every day. Some see it as a quirk of love, others as handcuffs, but it is undisputed that a bracelet is the classic Valentine’s Day gift, and those of Dodo are able to tell a story.

For romantics, the perfect gift is often tied to a memory, a place, a song, a situation. What better than to relive them with headphones, the music of a playlist designed ad hoc? (Apple Ipod shuffle). Men have to be grabbed by the throat (not literally) and given an ultimatum, an idea of something nice to eat together is chocolate: and after all, who said that men don’t like pralines?(Armani / Dolci)

Istat data confirmed that men read a lot less than women, but perhaps it is because we have lost the habit of giving away books. Three crackling fresh proposals, suitable for every stereotype of man next to you. Laughter insured with hilarious monologues by Luciana Littizzetto (the Incredible Urka); for males suffering from Peter Pan syndrome there is nothing better than Fabio Volo (The Road Home), Reflection and lightness. If you have a lover of beauty and poetry like that of Nazim Hikmet, then his “Love Poems” are for you. (Knopf)

Love 2.0 for lovers of the latest generation can exchange mobile phones (Iphone 6), to break down the barriers of space and technology. And if money is not a problem for your wallet, what better than a backpack (Dolce and Gabbana) and two tickets to the very exclusive Caudalie Spa, Vinothérapie near Bordeaux (France), to rediscover intimacy and give yourselves time to relax together?

After all, whatever the color of your love, it’s the thought that counts.
