How to Present a Romantic Gift

Whether it's a signed first edition of a favorite novel, a fine bottle of wine, lingerie or even flowers, a romantic gift is a sign to your partner that you have thought about them and that you love them. So, put some careful planning into presenting a romantic gift.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Gift
• Wrapping paper

1. Choose a gift that conveys your feelings or expresses something personal. Try to think of something that the other person will truly like and consider romantic.
2. Choose when to give the gift. If it's not for a specific occasion such as a birthday or Valentine's Day, you'll want to determine just the right time to present your special gift.
3. Determine whether or not you want to give hints about the gift. If you do, you could write a note to say that you have picked up something special, and leave it where it will be seen (perhaps you could sneak it into his or her briefcase).
   
4. Planning to give the gift at dinner? Whether dining at home or in a restaurant, bring the wrapped gift along and set it on the table. Just don't allow it to be opened until after the meal.
5. Want to make your partner put in a bit of effort? Create a treasure map or clues that he or she needs to follow in order to find the special gift.

Tips & Warnings

• Conveying emotion is something that is difficult for a lot of people. Try to stay relaxed.
• Don't overthink it. Spontaneity can be a great means for presenting your romantic gift when the right moment suddenly appears.
• Be sure that the gift is wrapped. An unwrapped gift gives the impression that you did not think things through.
