Valentine’s Day symbolizes love and romance….gifts of ‘red’ lovingly wrapped and presented to all you hold dear. It’s a day to tell someone how special and important they are in your life.  The symbolism of your gift varies according to the seriousness you mean to convey.  A gift can be something that shouts from the roof top that he or she makes your heart aflutter, that your present is with thought and meaning.  Or it can be of kindness and warmth to express their personal impact in your life. Keep reading for creative Valentine’s Day gift ideas for him, ideas for her, and romantic gifts.

Finding the right Valentine’s Day gift is probably a difficult shopping experience for most.  Unlike a birthday or Christmas gift that sometimes has a practical side, this special occasion calls for something more romantic to convey the heartfelt intent.   Okay, something a little mushy!  On this day, think of such gifts as:

• gorgeous red roses (symbolizing deep love and affection).  How can you not think RED and luscious for Valentines?

• chocolate (a confession of love).  Out of all the chocolates I’ve eaten over the years, my heart belongs to See’s.  They are both decadent and paraffin free.  Most of the chocolates sold are made with wax.
  

• a heartfelt card. Make it whimsical or made it romantic.
  

• handmade gifts made lovingly my you or by another. 
  

• cuddly stuffed animals

• candles. Wonderfully scented candles are great gifts to be enjoyed.  My favorites are cinnamon and vanilla.  I like presenting them with a stone holder (for safety sake) so they can be used immediately.
  

• jewelry. I can’t think of one single solitary person who doesn’t love jewelry.  You can choose anywhere from bling to costume to custom.
  

• gift baskets

• perfume and cologne

• books

• watches. For her, something heart-shaped would be a stunning Valentine’s Day gift idea.  Guys have told me they like one that’s shiny.
  

• lingerie.  Guys and gals, use your imagination.

• a night on the town

• a day of pampering at the spa. They have couples massages – two tables side by side.
  

• something a little wild or adventurous? Say, a hot air balloon ride? I’m not a fan of heights, but I can so picture myself sipping champagne from on high.
  

• a quiet dinner for two. Restaurants have special menus designed for Valentine’s.  Make reservations early.
