OK, I found one . . .These Swarovski Crystals are a budget minded boyfriends best friend . . .

Paula Huckabay is an artist, jewelry designer and owner of  www.pacificjewelrydesigns.com.  She has created a Swarovski crystal heart necklace that is quite cool.  Wow, the way this thing shines!   I might buy an extra to take bass fishing. At a glance I was concerned this was going to set me back some serious scratch, but they’re under $40!  That’s an awful lot of sparkle for 40 bucks!  She must have kidnapped some Indonesian kids from Kathy Lee’s Favorite Nike factory.  This  thing     passes as a $100-$150 item any day of the week.

OK so you’re girl hates crystals, no problem – dump her. OH you like her?  OK then buy her one of these very Tiffany looking Lia Sophia Bracelets or Necklaces.  These are engravible, which is going to earn you huge romance points, but since you need some time to run to an engraver you better more on these prontissimo -  Both are silver chains with a heart charm and it’s such a classic item that it works for just about any girl out there. 8″ bracelet with a large lobster claw clasp. $52.00 while the necklace is an 18″ necklace is toggle style. Price: $98.00.  The website is in flash so we couldn’t grab the images for you, but click through – they’re a great choice.

Emergency.  It’s Saturday (or Sunday . . .dude come on) and you forgot Valentine’s Day!  You’re going to be n the doghouse or you’re going to think quick. Here’s the life saver.  Everyone lives somewhere near a Kohl’s and they have a silver floating heart pendant on a sterling silver chain for $30 that can get you out of a jam.  The truth is you should just buy one of these and keep it hidden for emergencies regardless!  It’s dainty sweet and simple – that’s Venusian for cheap and easy .  jump on it off their website here, or run out and grab 2-3 so you have them as the needs arise.

Finally I get to the bane of the idiot man’s existence – The Promise Ring.  Let’s immediately define the promise, because Disney’s whole BS story about it’s a promise to remain a virgin is utter nonsense.  The promise is that “This is Going Somewhere.”  It’s not we’re getting married, it’s not even we’re getting engaged!  It’s “I’m not playing you, I really care, and  if I just got sentenced to 10-15 and my lawyer said that unless I’m married I can’t have conjugal visits, YOU  would be the lucky girl.” Here’s the best part though, it’s backed up by exactly the value of the ring!  Yep, your full downside for breaking this promise is the cost of the ring, which www.myjewelrybox.com is more than happy to minimize for you!  You can shop/sort gifts by “Price”.  There are three buttons, (big as the numbers on one of those phones for old people), right on the homepage – Under $50, Under $100 and Under $200.

Now promise rings are about as masculine as the Jonas Brothers drinking Cosmos at a Boy George concert, but in concept they’re a winner. Girls love them because it makes them feel less guilty about performing unspeakable acts.  There’s something about “A Promise”, even one as empty as a $128.88 ring, that makes her girlfriends nod in full agreement at rationalizations like, “but only with him” and “Sure it stings when it gets in your eyes, but we’re going to be together forever, so I’m OK with it.”

They offer free shipping on any order over 50 bucks, every gift is wrapped and ready, and best of all, I don’t have to be “Buzzed” into the store as if it’s my latest weekend stay at county.
