Romantic Gift Ideas for Valentine's Day

The best gift is one that is thoughtful and means something to the person you are giving it to. Flowers, chocolates, and jewelry are all great gifts. Why not add a personal touch? Gifts from the heart take a little more thought and sometimes require more planning and effort but mean so much more to the recipient.

Sit down and hand write your loved one a love letter. Tell them why they mean so much to you. Make sure it is a handwritten letter and not typed. It will mean more in your own handwriting. Flowers along with your letter make a great Valentine's Day Gift.

Do you keep cards and little letters that were given to you by your significant other? If so, pull them out of the drawer or shoe box and make a scrapbook with them. Show them you kept their cards. Write a brief note beside each card and let them know how that card made you feel when you first received it.

Plan a date night for just the two of you at your own home. Time alone with your significant other is priceless. Get the recipe book out and make a romantic dinner for two. Decorate the table with flowers and candles.  Plan the evening around topics that they like to discuss or watch a movie that they have been wanting to see.  Show them you pay attention to those type of things. To spice things up a little further, make it an all night event with wine, flowers, and romantic music.  Take the children to grandma's house and have fun with it.  It will be a night to remember.

Include pictures of the two of you from different times in your relationship. Use the type of photo album that gives you the space to the side of the picture to write what the photo is about. Make lots of love notes beside each special picture. Tell them how special each moment was to you.

Most men and even women would not go get a massage or spa package for themselves. Include a card to let your love know how hard they work and deserve such a treat. There are so many available spa treatments out there. Get creative and share some rest and relaxation with your loved one.

If you have children together, get them involved in the gift giving. Nothing is more special than art work by your children. Have them create cards and artwork expressing their love for your significant other. They will enjoy creating something for mom or dad and it will mean the world to the recipient.

Any of these romantic gift ideas can be accompanied by flowers, cards, or jewelry.  Take the time to express your feelings in a sincere way.  Adding a little gift from the heart will make your Valentine realize why they fell in love with you to start with.
