The Best Gifts For This Valentine's Day

By Sheila Dollarsby

Valentine's Day is supposed to be the most romantic day of the year. Women love it; men hate it. But why? Usually because they forget about it or because their partners place so much emphasis on the romantic gestures that are done for them on this day that men are virtually set up for failure. The truth is that it doesn't have to be a day of failures; it can be a day of great successes if you know what you are doing. It is with success in mind that this article will prepare any man for not only making his partner happy, but make it a great Valentine's Day for all parties involved.

1. Flowers. Flowers should always be the first step on Valentine's Day. Before you see her for a romantic dinner that evening, make sure that you send her a beautiful bouqet of flowers to her job. She will want everyone to see them, and to see her getting them; in her eyes, this informs everyone that not only is she spoken for, but she has a good man that every other woman wishes she had.

2. Scrapbook. These are becoming the thing to do and most women would love to have one. Document your romance and your love in a unique way by creating a scrapbook or by having one created for you. Be sure to include as many mementos of the memories that the two of you have together. When you hand it to her on the big day, just make sure that you are ready, because the tears and the smiles will be forthcoming.

3. Hand Written Love Letter. These are always great and most men never do one for their significant other. If you can pull this one off, you may not need anything else on Valentine's Day.

4. Jewelry. You can never go wrong with jewelry. However, you must know her taste so allow her mother, sister, or best friend to help you pick out the right piece of jewelry for her. This is also a great time to propose marriage if your relationship is ready.

5. A Gourmet Meal At Home. As much as women like going out to dinner on Valentine's Day, they also enjoy eating in. Cook your significant other a gourmet meal right out of her kitchen or yours. If you can't cook, hire a chef for the evening. Many of the culinary schools have student chefs that can be hired at reasonable prices. Just make sure that you set the atmosphere for a lovely dinner for two at home.

6. An Entire Evening of Romance. If you really want to go all out for your woman, do a combination of all of the previous 5 romantic Valentine's Day ideas. Remember, these gestures should only be done for a woman that you really, seriously care about because the combination of all 5 can be deadly for a man who isn't really interested in having a long term relationship with the lucky woman. But if you are ready to move your relationship to the next level, or just show your wife how much you love her, then do all 5 and be ready for what will come next! - 31368
