When it comes to a new romance, the last thing a girl wants to do is scare the poor guy away. What kind of gift can you get that says: "Wow, I think you're great", without being too "I love you so much already and we've only been dating less than a month"? Here's a few fun Valentine's Day Gift Basket ideas to kick around that won't make him want to kick you to the curb!

What not to Get Him:

Flowers:

Flowers are just too girly for most guys - he won't appreciate them, forget to change the water and will generally think you're strange. Let him buy you flowers.

Sappy Love Stories via books or films:

Again, most guys simply won't appreciate these types of gifts. You can rent the movie sometime, but it will get lost on a shelf somewhere if you buy it.

A gift certificate to McDonalds:

Do you really want your guy super-sized? To keep him buff - hold the fries, please.

A subscription to Maxim:

Are you for real? Those girls sure aren't and you don't want him comparing them to you, even if you are a hottie!

Why not toss around some fun gift basket ideas along the lines of his interests - like golf, fishing, football, beer or wine related gifts, Las Vegas gift baskets, gifts for chocolate lovers, or luxury food gourmet gift baskets?

Simply enclose a nice card, not with a super sappy love poem but with something lighthearted and sweet.

Perhaps you've heard of the poet Rumi. Here's one you may like to use:

The minute I heard my first love story

I started looking for you

not knowing how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.

They're in each other all along.

• Rumi
