这个情人节 送什么给“他”？
Valentine's Day gifts for guys

How do you tell her "I love you" this Valentine's Day?

　　How do you tell her "I love you" this Valentine's Day? With diamonds. With perfume. With flowers.

　　Let's face it, the shopper needs to only turn on a television or flip open a magazine for inspiration.

　　But when it comes to finding the perfect gift for men, the process requires a little more work, a little more creativity.

　　"I think you have to know your guy. You have to know who you're dealing with," psychotherapist and lifestyle coach Stacy Kaiser said.

　　"It should be about what they want, not what you think they should want."

　　It can be a difficult finding the right gift. It can be a token or expression and, most important, heartfelt, psychologist Joyce Brothers said.

　　Here are five things that say "I love you" to that special guy you want to be your Valentine.

　　Gadgets: Kaiser said gadgets, electronic or otherwise, are the No. 1 gift for men, such as a video game system, a flat-screen television or a LCD photo frame.

　　Lingerie: Often viewed as a gift for her, it really is a gift for him, said lingerie designer Mary Green. "Men seem to have very specific ideas about what they like on women," she said.

　　Functional: If a man is a sports fan, buy tickets for the two of you to go to a game, Kaiser said. Or if he enjoys cooking, buy him a gift for the kitchen.

　　Gimmicks: The best gift, relationship experts say, is not always store-bought. In many cases, a simple gesture can say "I love you."

　　Consider a romantic gesture, such as a foot rub or body massage, Brother said.

　　Say it with words: Brothers said buying a card on Valentine's Day is not the way to say "I love you." She said the giver should write a romantic note to include in the card. Better yet, she said, tell the man how much you adores him. 

　　今年情人节打算带给她什么惊喜？钻石首饰？香水？还是鲜花？

　　别为难了，还是打开电视或者翻翻杂志来找点灵感吧！

　　不过如果要为你的“他”选一份完美的情人节礼物，可能得多费点力气、多花点心思。

　　心理治疗师、生活方式教练斯达西·凯瑟说：“首先你要了解你的男人，你要知道他的喜好。”

　　“你要知道他想要什么，而不是你认为他应该想要什么。”

　　心理学家乔伊斯·布罗泽说，选对一份礼物很难。这个礼物可以是一样东西、一句表达，最重要的是，要真心真意。

　　若想给你的他送上一份情人节礼物，可参考以下五种选择：

　　小玩意：凯瑟说，小玩意、电子产品等类似的东西是男性礼物的首选，比如，电子游戏系统、平面电视或液晶相框。

　　内衣：内衣设计师玛丽·格林说，内衣通常被认为是送给女性的礼物，实际上，送给男性也不错。她说：“男性对于女性的穿戴似乎总有十分独到的观点。”

　　实用的东西：凯瑟说，如果他是一个体育迷，那就买两张票，和他一起去看比赛。如果他喜欢烹饪，那就买一样厨房用品送给他。

　　你自己的小发明：两性关系专家认为，最好的礼物往往不是在商店里买的。在很多时候，一个简单的动作便能够传达爱意。

　　布罗泽说，可以尝试一下如足底按摩或身体按摩等浪漫的“动作”。

　　言语表达：布罗泽说，送一张空白贺卡并不能表达爱意。要在贺卡里夹上一张浪漫字条，告诉他你有多么爱他。

　　Vocabulary:  
　　flip open  : to turn through and open（翻开；翻阅）
