After the last minute shopping frenzy otherwise known as 'Christmas', and the annual clothes rail treasure hunt aka the 'January Sales', I can relate to the desire to avoid the stores in February.

However, Valentine's Day is on its way and although the cynics reading this could argue that we've had more than enough made up holidays thrust upon us such as Grandparents day, Best Friend day and Hug a Ginger day (I kid you not). After all, what point is a 'day' without a public holiday and oft-repeated movies on the television.

I have a theory on Valentine's Day; like to hear it? Here it goes.... if you're male and in a relationship over and beyond FB's, it's not worth making a stand and not buying into the tradition of gift giving - and don't get your hopes up for your effort to be reciprocated. Isn't Valentine's all about the ladies?

So now we're on the same page, here's my idea of a suitable gift... and No, petrol station bouquets will not cut it. I repeat step away from the bucket of bouquets hanging limply on the forecourt and pay a visit to www.brazelle.com

Part lingerie, part jewelry, Brazelle presents a brand new concept in lingerie accessories. Basically the Brazelle attaches effortlessly to strapless bras, corsets and dresses. This means that she won't be constantly yanking her dress back into position and you will be a star in her eyes for coming up with such a thoughtful gift. No need to thank me fellas.

Made from 18 karat gold with Swarovski crystals and Murano glass, and available in a myriad of colours, it took me quite a while to pick out my favourite.

Prices range from £147 to £287 and each item is delivered in a presentation box containing your choice of Brazelle, a satin silk strap oh and a bra.

Happy Valentines to you all, especially the single CrumbsForMen readers and I'll see you in March.
