Romance on Valentines Day

Romance is in the air and in the Chocolate around the middle of February. Every Valentine’s Day it would seem like people give the identical thing. A box of chocolates, a cheesy teddy bear, spa products, sexy undies, jewelry, it’s all totally predictable! While nearly all people wouldn’t complain about acquiring a gift from someone they love, there have got to more personal ways of revealing your love and affection. If you feel like your gifts are becoming redundant from year to year and you want to step it up a notch, why not make something yourself that says that you took the time to create something that comes from your heart. Not only will this mean more, but it will be unique and genuinely convey your feelings in a way that no greeting card can. Here are some ideas that will show you really care. You could Create a picture collage. Gather up the best pictures of the two of you and put them together in a book or spread them out somewhere where they will see them. Spend time going through them together and reminiscing about all the memories. These are great ways to show that special someone how much you really care on that one day of the year declared I love you day. There are lots creative ideas for creating romance without spending lots of money such as Concoct an assortment of sensual spa products. Find a few recipes online to make your own bubble bath solution or salt or sugar scrub. These are often easy to make from ingredients which you likely have at home or can buy at the store. Make these products and present them in a decorative jar or bag. I love Valentines day with all this positive energy of love and romance and caring. If all else fails you could Create a scavenger hunt. Come up with clever clues which you can write out on decorative clue cards leading your loved one around town or just around the house from one clue to the next. At the end, present them with a gift or set the mood with a romantic hideaway which they’ve worked for by answering all of the clues correctly. A friend recently told me that he sent a gift basket to his wife last year for Valentine’s day and she loved it because it contained things that you don’t find in most stores. Great gourmet chocolates, flavored nuts, wine, olives and more great chocolate. It made him look really good and this very romantic holiday. I could have sent him a BV Cabernet Red Wine Gift Basket. We include a bottle of BV Cabernet Sauvignon red wine and gourmet munchies: Wine-flavored cheese spread, smoked Gouda cheese, crackers, Olives, Chocolates, gourmet cookies, nuts, and popcorn. Red wine baskets make a great thank you basket, welcome basket, anniversary basket and more.
