Looking for a Great Valentine's Day Gift?

Looking for a Great Valentine's Day Gift?

The rush is on! Valentine's Day is less than a month away, and I have a bet with some of my friends as to just which one of us will come up with the most creative gift for their significant other on the big day.

Here are are few great gift ideas for those of you who might need a nudge in the right direction:

For her:

1. Spa Package - give her a day of pampering. A pedicure, manicure, facial, etc. goes a long way after a long day.

2. Cookie Bouquet - For the lady with a sweet tooth. Always a big surprise!

3. Dinner - Any dude can take his favorite girl to a restaurant for dinner. But you're different! Make dinner for her...you know, candles, flowers, soft music, great conversation. Throw in something special, and make her favorite dish, or make something that you both absolutely adore. I don't know a woman who would be unhappy with that.

4. Cosy Pajamas or Lingerie - Works great for both of you.

5. Chocolate covered strawberries giftbox - Chocolate and strawberries all wrapped up in a gorgeous giftbox. Need I say more?

6. Make a CD of love songs - I know, I know...sounds cheesy, but it really is very sweet. Choose carefully, some combinations of songs have a tendency to come off as being way too drippy.

7. Diamonds are always a safe bet, and you can get them to fit into any budget.

8. Let's not forget the roses. Every woman I know loves to receive a bouquet of her favorite flowers on this day.

For Him:

Men don't tend to look forward to this day as much as we girls do, but here are a few suggestions for your gift to him.

1. Make him a special dinner. After all, they say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and what better time to test that theory? But Valentine's isn't the night to try out something new. Make his favorite dish, you can't go wrong with that.

2. Candles, and a romantic CD. Who doesn't like candles these days? Aromatherapy candles work wonders after a long day. Try not too to go too syrupy with the music though. Most men totally turn off to those drippy love tunes.

3. Romantic Lingerie. Okay, so it's a gift for you, but why not give it to him and kill two birds with one stone?

Have a wonderful, romantic Valentine's Day everyone!
