How to Give Your Girlfriend a Valentine's Day Present

Whether it's your first Valentine's Day together or your fourth, the gift can become a source of anxiety for you and your girlfriend unless you know exactly how to present it.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Greeting Cards
• Flowers
• Photo Frames
• Champagne
• Bubble Baths
• Diamond Earrings
• Massage Gift Certificates
• Theater Tickets
• Theater tickets

1. Determine your girlfriend's expectations for a gift, especially if this is your first Valentine's Day together. If she's the kind of person who likes the works (Champagne, dinner, flowers and a gift), knowing this ahead of time will pre-empt disappointment on her part and embarrassment on yours if your gift wasn't quite up to par.

2. Plan a special evening to celebrate your love so that the gift itself doesn't become the sole display of your affection.

3. Ask her what she'd like for Valentine's Day (so she knows you're planning something), but consider giving her a personalized gift - a framed photograph you took, a poem you wrote, a piece of jewelry you had custom-made for her. And speaking of jewelry ...

4. Wrap your present in a box that won't give your gift away or lead to disappointment if, say, you've been dating for several years now and still aren't ready to step up to the plate. In other words, if it's not a diamond, don't dare put your gift in a little square box.

5. Offer your present before or after dinner, making sure to tell her you love her while she's opening it.

on 1/13/2009 Lots of great ideas!. One way to Tickle the heart of others is to get a TickleMe Plant Greenhouse. With it you can grow the REAL plant that MOVES when you Tickle It. The leaves quickly fold and even the branches droop when tickled!. It a great way to share your love of nature. I found it at http://www.ticklemeplant.com

on 6/30/2006 Never forget to give your girlfriend a little something when it comes to special occasions, like Valentine's Day. If you can not be in town during the special day, then have one of your parents give her a gift from you.
