Default Do you like THIS idea for VD gift for a man?

Thanks for all your suggestions in another post...i just had a good idea, not as expensive as the kayak deck bag and maybe a little more personal than a bottle of wine.

I thought of it becus recently i 'reorganized' my key chain. Basically, i had too many on there and lost them, then decided to buy myself a nice tasteful inscribed sterling silver chain. You can choose whatever you want it to say on the inscription, but space is limited. So I browsed some inspirational websites and came up with one i liked:

"Wisdom begins in wonder."

Maybe i could do the same thing for B. and try to come up with something that says something about who he is. It coust about $27.

Good idea, no?

That line reminds me a short story I once read in school.

In any case, that idea sounds fine to me... but what about a matching his & hers pair?

i think i read a story very similar to this one, BA.

I think i've got the inscription figured out....he loves the beach, and has talked often of "one day, i'd like to have a house on the ocean," so the inscription will read:

(front side)
Oh, to be lying
on a beach somewhere

(back side)
with sand in my toes
the wind in my hair"

Awesome idea!

Personal and nice, but not TOO personal or nice!

I think it's a winner!

I like it! Like pearlieq said, personal enough for a valentine's gift, yet not too personal. Fits his likes, too. Sounds like a good idea!

I would keep it in a drawer and if I didn't receive anything would give it to my Mom!
