I got my wife a pair of steel gauntlets for Christmas and she's never been happier.
It's getting close to Valentine's Day, and you're probably thinking of getting her something special, but I'm telling you as much as women like chocolates, flowers and stuffed teddy bears I guarantee there's something she'd love even more.
