    One of my bestest homegirls called me up wondering what kind of gift she could give her man this Valentine’s Day that would send a message that would last all year. So, I sent her a list and thought I’d share it with my Roots ladies as well.

    So, as a public service, I present…

    10 Valentines That Will Put Him On Notice

    1.  SlimFast --- Pointedly cruel, yet undeniably refreshing.

    2.  Speed Stick (unscented) –- Just a lil personal hygiene goes a long way.

    3.  The want ads--- Jobs don’t find themselves.

    4.  Rogaine--- Because baldness has overthrown his Caeser. Clearly.

    5.  Breathe mint--- He likes Chipoltle, but Chipoltle don’t like him.

    6.  Chamomile Tea--- Says “you’re not getting any loving tonight, so you might as well get some sleep.”

    7.  Marriage license--- Time to buy the cow or go soy, homie….

    8.  Toilet Time Targets --- He can manage a corporation but he can’t pee straight? Seriously?

    9.  G-String and a Feather Duster--- Maybe it’s time for him to earn his keep.

    10.  Cookbook--- Just because you can’t cook doesn’t mean he shouldn’t.
