There is nothing like the love of a partner back home that keeps military personnel going, so<br>\nmake sure you make this February 14 special for you and your loved one!<br>\n<br><\/p>\n<h2>Go the traditional route<\/h2>\n<p><br>\nWho doesn&rsquo;t love chocolate? And when someone has been deployed for a while, love will truly be in the<br>\nair when they get a break from typical military food. Find a box of their favourites &ndash; some of us like dark<br>\nchocolate while others settle for a caramel touch. But don&rsquo;t stop at chocolate! Really think about what<br>\nyour special someone would prefer biting into. Make sure you aren&rsquo;t picking up any perishable items if<br>\nyou choose to do this.<br>\nSomething to look forward to<br>\nWhile you may not be able to send them their favourite whiskey to set the mood, you can give them<br>\nsomething to look forward to. We love this bulletproof whiskey shot glass, which comes with its own<br>\nbullet! The good people at Ben Shot know exactly how to keep men interested. Your fierce warrior will<br>\ngo crazy for this token of love! He will be able to use it during deployment, and trust us, he won&rsquo;t be<br>\nable to wait before he can share a glass once he&rsquo;s home!<br>\n<br><\/p>\n<h2>Love notes<\/h2>\n<p><br>\nThis is an obvious gift if we are being honest. Days such as this one can make a man feel extremely<br>\nlonely. What better way to envelop them in a blanket of love then sending them notes? Make a list of 14<br>\nthings you miss about them and send it over. Or if you want to instead focus on the future, then make a<br>\nlist of 14 things you will be doing together once they come home!<br>\nThe idea here is to make something yourself, so you can even step up and create something more<br>\nspecial with your pictures, memories, etc. Keep it creative and you will be fine.<br>\n<br><\/p>\n<h2>Send them gear<\/h2>\n<p><br>\nNot fighting gear. But look for jackets, bags, watches, and more, that they can use in the field. Just<br>\nbecause they are fighting a war doesn&rsquo;t mean they can&rsquo;t have nice things. Look for items that will help<br>\nthem in the field instead of hindering them. For example, if you are looking for a watch, make sure it<br>\ndoes more than just tell time! We love this Night Gears Luminox watch, which hits all the right notes.<br>\n<br><\/p>\n<h2>Do something unique<\/h2>\n<p><br>\nWe love ideas such as storychips that let you link videos, photos, and more onto a simple sticker. You<br>\ncan slap the sticker onto any gift you want or even add it to a letter. This way you can fit so much more<br>\ninto your present. Think of the books they would like or music they could be introduced you &ndash; or even a<br>\nvideo of you expressing your love. You can choose to get the content to self-destruct or even add a layer<br>\nof security. Worried about boudoir pictures? You won&rsquo;t have to with this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valentine&rsquo;s Day could be a nice break for your military man, and it&rsquo;s right around the corner so you best prepare.
