No matter how long you have been together as February 14th approaches you will be faced with the dilemma of what to get your girlfriend for Valentines day. If you want to steer away from the classics, red roses and candy, what are your options? Here are 5 things she wont expect this V'day.
1. Handwritten or unique printed card.
Stay away from those commercial cards. How can someone who works at the greetings card company possibly know how you feel? For the same cost, or cheaper, you can make your own card. Your girl will be bowled over by the effort and thought you put into it. If you are an artistic type, take a blank card and let your creative juices flow. For the not so gifted there are many print on demand websites where you can design your own. You can use photos, pictures, and your own verse too, to make it as special as possible.
2. Scrapbook.
From an arts store, or stationery store, get a book and make a story of your relationship in pictures and memories. This will be the most romantic gift you can make for your Valentine, and something you can continue to build on together.
3. Heart Heaven.
Buy or make some paper or foil hearts, and cover her room with them in secret. You can also write reasons why you love her on some of them. The object is to surprise and impress, so you are going to need a lot of them. Remember that you are going to be the one that tidies them away too. That's part of the gift.
4. Your time.
Often the most precious gift we can give is time. Tell her as your gift you are going to spend some time with her, and turn the rest of the world off. Then turn off the phone, cellphone, and do not check your e-mail. Give yourself to your girl, and let her know how much you love her, and show her how important she is.
5. Photo montage.
Make a slide-show of pictures; and put them on a disk. Be creative, there is software on most computers that you can use to do this. Make it a special experience, add her favorite music, and include captions. Then you can package the disk as a gift with the words "watch me."
What to get your girlfriend for Valentines day? If you steer clear of the traditional (obvious,) you will not only surprise her, but she will love a gift you put effort and thought into much more than red roses or candy.
