Anyway, this year we agreed to keep our budget a bit more in check. Economy isn’t great for any of us, and I think we’ll try to limit our trips to mexico – cancun, playa del carmen, or otherwise – as much as we can stand it so we can save up a bit more cash.

This year I decided to go a more traditional route and get her a gift that I could wrap. I looked at cancun travel books, I looked at clothes and I looked at jewelry. In the end, I realized she has been asking for a watch for some time now, so I thought I’d research watches and see what I could find.

I ended up getting her one of the cool Citizen Eco Drive Ladies Watches that I found online. They were practical, but also beautiful. So, in other words, kind of the perfect Valentines gift. Do you agree?

Okay, I have to admit that I prefer the gifts that we both get to enjoy like our trip last year to playa del carmen. But, if you are looking for something a bit more affordable this year, you may also end up wanting something like a good online retailer of watches. Look no farther!
