How to Give Your Valentine a Gift They Won’t Forget

Jan 292010
 

Tired of giving chocolates, roses and teddy bears every February 14? Break out of the Valentine’s Day hum-drum and give your sweetie something truly original. Here’s a whole list of Valentine gift ideas that they won’t soon forget.

Cupcake of the Month

Sign your sweetheart up for the cupcake of the month club. It’s a gift that keeps on giving so there is no way they’ll forget how much you love them. Every month they’ll receive a yummy treat: two cupcakes in a jar from the Bangerang Bake Shop. And if you’re lucky maybe they’ll share one with you!

Love Print

Give your honey this “Love Candy” print and let them hang it prominently in your home. That way they’ll remember how much they are loved all year long– not just on V-Day.

Plant a Tree

Mark your growing love by planting a tree in your yard, your favorite park or somewhere special. Watch the tree grow over the years, just as your love grows.

Love Pencils

These lovely pencils from Olive Manna feature phrases like “Love is Patient & Kind” and “Love is Like the Morning Mist.” Pick up a set of three for just $4 and your special someone will think of you with every word they write.

Coupon Book

Get crafty and make your Valentine a coupon book. Make sure each coupon is something they will appreciate. Let them cash in a coupon each month for the next year.

The Five Love Languages

Pick up a copy of The Five Love Languages and give it to your Valentine. Don’t let the gift end there– commit to reading it together and figuring out what each of your love languages are. Then determine how you can speak your sweetie’s language of love.

Reasons I Love You Stones

Pick up a bag of stones from RedEnvelope.com. Each one is etched with a reason for your love. Messages include “I love you… for always getting my jokes” and “I love you…because you’re an inspiration.” Or you could use this idea as inspiration for making your own list of reasons you love your significant other.

An Unforgettable Experience

Shared experiences can help a couple draw closer together. Give your Valentine an experience they’ve always dreamed of like riding in a race car or floating in a hot air balloon. And make sure it’s something you can enjoy together.

Their Name in a Book

Well-known author Karen Kingsbury is giving fans a chance to be in her next book. Anyone who donates a minimum of $100 to the Kate McRae Fund can have their name or the name of someone they love acknowledged in the book where Kate will be a character. Not only will you be supporting this little girl’s battle with cancer, but you’ll be giving your Valentine a memorable gift.

Valentine’s Day is approaching and what better time than February 14 to spread some romance? Your loved one will feel the love when  you present them with a romantic gift. Here are some simple steps that will help you give a romantic gift.

Make it Personal

Chocolates and teddy bears are great, but try adding some extra romance by giving your loved one something more personal. A gift that references an inside joke or a shared experience is always a good way to make it romantic.

Be Extravagant

Women especially love to be pampered. It goes back to the fairy tales we grew up reading. Give your loved one something they would never normally buy for themselves. Sweep her off her feet with an extgravagent gift like a spa treatment or pricey handbag and you’ll definitely spark some romance.

Give Something Sexy

A gift that’s only shared between you and your partner can be extremely romantic. Make it something slightly naughty and very personal in order to inject the maximum amount of romance. Keep it private because that’s what makes it even more special.

Show Your Love

Rather than just buying something– try doing something. Some of the most romantic gifts can’t be bought wtih money. Think massages, poems, and homemade meals.

Announce Your Love

Doing something publicly to show how much your honey means to you can definitely be romantic. Set up a surprise at a fancy restaurant or wear a t-shirt announcing your love.

Add Some Candles

Whatever gift you decide on, set your gift exchange to candlelight. Candles set the mood for romance!

Today, I’d like to introduce MeandGoji.com. We featured them in our 2009 Valentine’s Gift Guide.

The Story: [me]&goji is the dream of three friends, adam, alexander and carl. Their new young company is out to change the way Americans think about breakfast. Its interactive website gives users the opportunity to create their own cereal from over 40-plus all-natural and organic ingredients and have it shipped straight to their doors. 

What’s all about? Well, [me]&goji is all about personalization, having fun, making healthy choices and eating delicious cereal.

How does it work? Just go to www.meandgoji.com and click START. All you have to do is  choose your cereal base, enhance it, choose some fruit and seeds and you are done! The nutritional counter on the right handside will update instantly. Oh, don’t forget to name your cereal! I did.:)

You can either design a mix for someone or send them a gift certificate so they can create their own. This Valentine’s season, they offer free, personalized notes (in case giving cereal and naming it after them doesn’t quite say enough).

[me]and goji is committed to a healthy environment, as well as healthy customers; they offer a green tag for $1 to offset all of the CO2 emissions generated by the creation and shipping of the cereal. That $1 goes directly to the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, which researches and invests in renewable energy projects.

I think this is an excellent Valentine’s gift idea that works for kids, teenagers and adults at the same time! Check them out at www.meandgoji.com!
