What do married men want for Valentine’s?

The typical Valentine’s day includes flowers, chocolates, teddy bears, heartfelt love letters and surprises – all efforts were mostly from a man, given to a very lucky woman. On the contrary, in Korea, women are the ones giving chocolates to men as a sign of love. Traditionally, men that receive these gifts will then give a gift in return on the following month to which they call “White Day”. This is a perfect way to let your man know that they too are indeed important on Valentine’s day. This year, I decided to mimic this Korean tradition and asked married men on what they want to receive for Valentine’s day. Here’s what they had to say: #8. Stove, cook set, tarp, sleeping pad – This sporty hubby is always on the go and is into mountain climbing. He and his wife always make sure to climb mountains at least once a month. Nothing is more blissful than awesome mountaineering stuff while enjoying the stars with your loved one. #7. Crafting supplies – This daddy is into ha
