Message in a Bottle
-
A message in a bottle can be a romantic gift. Take an empty wine bottle and write a love letter to your honey. You can tea or coffee stain the letter and burn the edges for effect. Once you've finished your note, roll it like a scroll and tie it together with a piece of ribbon. Slip the message into the bottle and seal it using the cork. You can put the bottle in a bucket of ice and casually leave it at the dinner table one night or hide it somewhere you know your sweetheart will find it.
Charm Bracelet
-
Consider getting your girlfriend a charm bracelet. Start it off with a few meaningful charms. Find charms that represent your mutual interests, where you met, your favorite places, etc. For example, if you met at a concert, use a musical note charm. Don't fill the bracelet just yet. Let your girl know that as long as you're together making memories, you will be adding to the bracelet.

Scrapbook
-
You may create a scrapbook for your significant other. Use pictures from memorable events like holidays, celebrations, dates, and candid photographs. Find a scrapbook that you feel best reflects your relationship (if you're crafty, consider creating your own) and fill it with pictures, memorabilia like movie or sports tickets, and captions. Leave room at the end for future memories.
Key to Your Apartment
-
A key to your apartment speaks volumes. It's one of the most romantic gifts you can give, since it shows how committed you are to your special someone and signifies a new level to your relationship. If you want to make this gift extra special, have something printed on the copy of your key (consider hearts) at a hardware store. You can wrap this in a jewelry box and present it that way.
Plan a Girls or Guys Night
-
Sure, it may not be a gift you and your special someone can share together, but it will be greatly appreciated. Encourage your significant other to spend time with their friends to catch up and let loose. Contact your honey's friends privately and ask them to set aside the date. Let them know that it's a surprise and warn them not to spill the beans. For guys, plan a poker night for him and his buds. Supply the drinks and cater or put together a few finger foods. For women, plan a day at the spa complete with mimosas, manicures, pedicures, facials and massages.
