So it’s under a month until Valentine’s Day and the age old question is hanging over my head – what do I get my man for Valentine’s Day? And, better yet, what do I get him that will benefit me, in the event his gift is lame?

In an effort to not have these two questions unanswered on February 13, I went to my favorite emporium of answers – the internet. I’ve looked at guitars – too pricey for V-day and get me nothing; lingerie – gets me laid, but uncomfortable and too much to spend for 10 seconds of glory; video games – while I will continue my reign as best wife ever… again, does nothing for me personally. I was beginning to despair until I stumbled across one of those creepy Google ads that tries to read your mind and sell you what you really want and need. There, on the right hand side of my hotmail, was the answer – panties!

Panties are a genius answer – I am always in need of an excuse to buy new ones, and they go on my ass, so in man speak they still count as lingerie! Score! Or is it? We’ve been married eleven years, he knows that I have a penchant for purchasing panties… hmm… how to get around looking as selfish as I really am?

Back we go to the internet! I’m thinking I could try boy shorts, not something I normally wear and the lace ones are sexy! Maybe I could branch out into something crotchless, nah… if I’m going commando, I’m going commando.  Maybe I could find panties with guitars on them, because nothing says I love you like the extra effort to combine sex and other favorite hobbies, right? But then I found this:

And this:

Yes world, I am going to make panties for Valentine’s Day! And I challenge you to do the same – here’s why: uber points from the significant other, you get new super cute panties, it’s an opportunity to do something kind for the earth by recycling old shirts and cloth, and you now have an excuse, a good excuse! to show off your underwear in public. Seriously, does life get any better?

PS: Did you notice that the panties in the first tutorial have a button crotch??!!!?
