Romantic Valentine Gift Ideas for True Romantics
Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. Yes, I'm a hopeless romantic. I know it's supposedly a commercialized holiday dreamed up by Hallmark to make more money from consumers; and I know all the reasons to lessen its importance as a holiday since it is not in any way related to Christ or any pagan holidays really.
But I don't care. Any day that celebrates love is a wonderful holiday! Like a great song says, "What the world needs now, is love, sweet love, it's the only thing that there's just too little of..."
So long live love! And long live romance. Celebrate it every day, and on Valentine's Day, celebrate it more.
All the merchants would have you thinking that it's all about candy, flowers, and jewelry, and while I adore all of those things, it's also a day to celebrate your love in a way that's unique to your relationship. So go ahead and explore your creative side when celebrating Valentine's Day this year...and it's okay to be mushy too. On Valentine's Day you get to be as creative and romantic as you want to be, and it is a day of love, so say it...and don't stop there; show it.
Love is a rare thing, well worth celebrating!
Here are a few romantic gifts for Valentine's Day ideas to get you started.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Little Surprises
Romantic Valentine's Day Gifts
Surprise them during the day.
Place little notes in their pockets or briefcase or lunch pail, wherever they will find them during the day...with a coupon for a little treat sometime later..like a massage or a day at a spa. You can make them from printable sites like the ones above. Curl the coupon around a bottle of perfume.
Of course, the ultimate surprise is .... flowers! Order them and have them sent to the office, or buy some at the flower shop...but don't forget them!

Set the Stage for Romance with a Romantic Dinner
Romantic Gifts for Valentine's Day
Going out to dinner is a treat! But if that won't work for your budget, you can have it at home.
When my children were young and finding a babysitter was a problem, I used to plan Special Dinners. I would cook gourmet food and we would turn the lights off and light candles and play soft music just like they do in fine restaurants. If you plan this in advance, it can work just fine at home.
You can even get a wonderful meal delivered!

Surprise Trip
Romantic Gifts for Valentine's Day
What about planning a trip and suprising your partner! If you can't go right now for Valentine's Day, plan all the details and and place the tickets in an envelope to present at dinner...or in your card, or in the flowers, or you'll think of someplace!
But if you can, February is a great time to go many places for vacation. It's after the Winter crowds, and before the Summer ones. A little getaway, or a week long celebration, either way, what a great romantic gift for Valentine's Day.

Declare Your Love!
Romantic Gifts for Valentine's Day
Maybe you are one of those people who has a hard time saying those little words that mean so much to a lover:
"I love you"....well this is the day to say it. So if you can't say it in your own words, put it in a card, or have the baker write it on a cake, or hire a skywriter to fly around and say it in the sky! But say it! You never know when you might not have the opportunity again.
i carry your heart with me by e.e. cummings
Just Copy it onto a Card and Watch the Swoons
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear, and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are in my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which
grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Romantic Valentine's Day
In Las Vegas where I lived at one time, Valentine's Day is one of the most popular days of the year to get married.
Everywhere you go brides are stepping out of limousines and champagne corks are popping and the Wedding March is playing. You won't have any excuse to forget your anniversary!
And it is easy to arrange to get married there, even at the very last minute. The whole city caters to the bridal industry and you can get a license all day and all night for immediate use.

"Let the world stop turning,
Let the sun stop burning,

The only dream that mattered had come true
...In this life I was loved by you."
~ Bette Midler
Last Minute Romantic Gifts for Valentine's Day
Romantic Valentine's Day Gifts
What if you forgot? Or you worked all day and you get to the store and all the flowers are gone? Don't panic...Before you leave the store, grab a ready made cake from the bakery. Buy some strawberries, fresh is great, but even frozen will do. Of if you can't find strawberries, bury some cherry pie filling...and buy some vanilla ice cream too. When you get home, offer to make the special romantic dessert. Put equal parts of ice cream, fruit, and cut up cake in a bowl. Or even easier, buy a bunch of different chocolate bars, and stack them up neatly beside a nice card.
Find a Valentine card if there are any left, or if not, just buy a pretty card with as much red and pink on it as you can find. Some grocery stores even sell helium balloons which is great too...as these will substitute for flowers in a pinch.
If you discover before you leave work that you didn't get a card and are worried you can't find one, print one from one of the above sites, and copy one or more of the poems and quotes here to add to the card. Most people love homemade cards with hand written messages, and you won't have to settle for picked over cards.
As the last little "piece de resistance" throw in the promise of a date to the latest romantic comedy. That way you will look like you had this whole Valentine's Day planned in advance...and maybe next year you actually will. It will be easier on you....

~another Love Poem for you
We, unaccustomed to courageexiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

e.e. cummings has been one of my favorite poets since the 60's. I am so tickled to see one of his poems here; in fact there are loving quotes from many of the artist I admire! Excellence gets 5* of course!
