When Cupid’s arrow set your soul afire, he is the man who kindled the flames. Now Valentine’s Day has arrived, and you want to get something wonderful for that special man in your life. You will have many choices of gifts for your beloved, and these range greatly in style, size and price. You can get him one large gift or a variety of smaller gifts. When romance is in the air, what can you get that will bring the magic of the holiday to life? The following are some ideas for romantic Valentine’s Day gifts for your guy.
1.Recreate your first date.
Gazing into each other’s eyes on that first date, you may have known that something special perched on the edge of reality. Now that you are together, what sweeter way to celebrate then to go back to where it all began? Recreating your first date is an extremely romantic date. Take him out to the same restaurant or activity. You can even try to recreate different elements of the date, such as the outfit you wore. If you cannot exactly recreate it (i.e. you have moved to a different town) do your best to simulate it with a similar experience.
2. Create a personalized gift.
Many shops offer personalized presents where you can etch or inscribe an item with a special sentiment, name or another such inscription. Online vendors such as www.personalizationmall.com and Personal Creations have many gifts, which allow for romantic poems or your own romantic message. Items that you can inscribe include pocket- or wristwatches, clocks, boxes, photo frames and many additional items. Some of these, such as the watches, can be carried around so that your love will always remember you. Things Remembered, found in many malls, is another excellent source for such items. The prices for these products can range greatly, from under $50 into the hundreds.
3. Picture
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and you can share your love again and again with a nice picture of the two of you. You can place it is a nice frame, or purchase a multi-photo frame and include many memories. A digital picture frame can contain many more pictures, and is a modern twist on this romantic gift. Fill it with pictures of sweet memories of the past so that he can look upon it to remember your time together.
4. Scrapbook
If you are crafty, then you could create a scrapbook filled with pages of the past. Fill it with photographs, ticket stubs, pressed flowers and other mementos of your love. Your beau will appreciate the personal attention and time you placed into such a gift. If you are not excessively crafty, there are many scrapbooking kits that you can purchase that can make this relatively easy and quick. It is a reasonably priced gift but can be time-consuming, depending on how much effort you wish to put forth.
5. Letter
Write a letter telling your man how you truly feel about him. You do not have to be a skilled writer to craft such as gift – as long as your words are from the heart, they will be meaningful to him. Let him know what he means to you. Then place it in a frame and give it to him. This sweet gift costs little more than the price of an inexpensive frame.
6. Romantic Getaway
Take your guy on a romantic getaway. It can be a two-day weekend trip to the beach, where you can cuddle under a canopy of stars as the waves slowly lap upon a sandy beach. If you have the budget and desire, you can take him on a longer vacation. A cruise can take you to a secluded island where you can spend the days and nights in sweet romance. Whatever suits the two of you can make a splendid gift.
7. Romantic Music
Soft, sweet music can put anyone in the mood for romance. Buy him an album of some romantic music. For a more personalized touch, put together your own compilation of songs. The music doesn’t necessarily need to be romantic – it can be a very sweet gift to make him a mix CD of music he likes, whatever his tastes are.
8. Craft a Culinary Masterpiece
In other words, make him dinner. Many men appreciate a home-cooked meal. Try to make something that is special to him, set to the dreamy background of flickering candles and soft music. You do not have to be a professional chef for him to appreciate your efforts.
9. Gift Basket of Romantic Items
Make a gift basket of romantic items. You can put in items such as essential oils, chocolates, etc. Tailor it to what he likes. You can make it as small or large as you want, and tailor it to your own budget.
10. Words of Love
Many people are struggling financially right now, and may not have money to spend on presents. You can decide to tell each other some special things – how you feel about each other, what you love most about each other, qualities you enjoy. To remember them, you can write them down or record them. This “free” gift can leave you elated for a long time.
There are many wonderful gifts that you can get your guy this Valentine's Day. By using a little time and creativity, you can get him something that will show how much you care.
