Saying "I love you"
There are many ways to say "I love you". A romantic dinner for two...a quiet evening with Champaign toasts to love eternal and beautiful romantic music playing in the background... a magical vacation to an exotic location... sending red roses, chocolate and a romantic card...giving a gift of heart shaped jewelry... all of these are special ways to tell your special love just how loved they are.
Red roses
All roses are beautiful but on Valentine's Day, only red roses will do: they are the traditional symbol for love and romance and they have been for centuries.
The meaning of red roses can be traced back to some of the earliest cultures. The color red itself has always been symbolic of the very essence of life. In ancient Greek and Roman Mythology the red rose was very closely associated with the goddesses of love.
Poets of old waxed eloquent about the red, red rose.
A single perfect red rose is a perfect gift for a young man to give to a young woman that he is falling in love with. A dozen red roses are even better. On Valentine's Day all roses are red because red roses are the universal symbol of undying love.

Jewels and... rings
Traditionally Valentine's Day jewelry is heart shaped. The jewelry might be a heart shaped pendant, heart shaped earrings, a bracelet featuring hearts of a ring featuring hearts. There might or might not be precious of semi-precious stones included in the jewelry. The value of Valentine's Day jewelry isn't so much monetary as sentimental.Rubies are the traditional stone for Valentine's Day if there is one simply because they are red in color. Diamonds are always a wonderful choice of a precious stone for the one you love. "They" say that diamonds are forever.
The most important thing that you need to know is your love's taste in jewelry. The best way to know what she likes is to take notice of what she buys for herself and what she wears. Knowing what she likes is part of telling her that you love her.
Sweets for your sweet love
The famous Shakespearean quote, "Sweets to the sweet" is one that often accompanies boxes of chocolates or other candies given to women by the men who love them on Valentine's Day. Candy is ranked only number two on the list of Valentine's Day gifts, just behind roses. Chocolate will be the number one selling candy this Valentine's season. Coming in second are those little pastel colored hearts that are inscribed with love messages. These little hearts are called "conversation hearts" and have such inscriptions as "Luv U" printed on them.
Special Valentine's Day Gift Baskets
There are all kinds of Valentine's Day gift baskets available: sensual, sexy gift baskets for lovers to send to lovers, containing items that are designed to inspire romance. Many have massage oils along with a bottle of wine and two long stemmed glasses. Some come with rose petals and satin sheets and pillow cases. There are Valentine's Day gift baskets that include candies and cookies. There are Valentine's Day gift baskets that contain fruits and nuts. You can find a Valentine's Day gift basket that is the perfect gift for every person in your life that you would like to tell how important to you they really are and Valentine's Day is your opportunity to do so.
Romantic Vacations
Valentine's Day is right in the middle of the 'high' season in the warm southern countries.
Make your reservations early: Valentine's Day vacation to a warm and exotic location can be worth all of the trouble and expense!
Your Special Music

- Ah, even an old cynic like me cannot help but be warmed by Valentines Day. Beneath this grumpy exterior there is a warm heart that loves romance and romantic gestures.
I really enjoyed your lens.
