Guy Tip: Last Minute Valentine's Day Gifting
Fellow menz, if you have been like me in the past, putting off shopping for the sweety until the last minute because, unless it is comuter gear or shit for your ride, you violently hate to shop, please add ice.com to your list of life preserver sites. It is like the whole site was created with clueless dudes in mind. They have a great variety of sparklies, priced from $30 all the way to many thousands of dollars. The great thing about their inventory is they have a huge selection of very nice items right around that $100-$200 sweet spot, where you want to get your girl something nice, but you can't afford to spring for some $600 diamond tennis bracelet.
Overnight shipping is free, if it needs to go back, they cover the cost to return it. I purchased two items from them over the holidays, a sweet peridot/granite/white gold pendant and a fun little ring. The pendant was a hit, but the ring was too big, and back it had to go. You do returns via phone, which I usually dread, but twice I've called (I waited too long and my return label went tits up, requiring a new one) and both times I was treated professionally and with an unusually high level of courtesy. I really felt like I was dealing with two grown men who earned enough at their jobs to care about doing them well. Really, this place is the shit. In the future, when I find myself in need again of gifts for a girl I love, these guys are definitely getting my business.
