Romantic Valentine Gifts

Valentine's Day is the time to give a gift that's both romantic and from the heart, whether you buy it or make it yourself. If you are stumped about what to get your sweetheart, try putting your own spin on one of these romantic Valentine's Day gifts.

Shared Moments

There is perhaps nothing more romantic than a special memory you can make together. Try booking a spa day for two, complete with side-by-side couple's massage. Or plan a romantic vacation that has your curling up by a fire or sharing a spot on the sand.

Tickets to a special event, such as a sporting event or an intimate concert, also can be a way for you to cuddle close together and enjoy an event together.

Looking for something a little less pricey? Why not cook a gourmet dinner for two and turn your dining room or living room into a romantic spot, complete with candles, soft lighting and romantic music. Choose menu pairings based on items you can savor, such as a fondue for two, rich chocolate dessert, or aphrodisiacs such as oysters.

Something Old, Something New

If you are short on funds, create a scrapbook with memories from the past. Don't forget to include concert tickets, movie ticket stubs and memorable photos. Another option is to write an old-fashioned love letter in which you tell your significant other what it felt like when you first met, fell in love, or what it feels like every time you see each other today. If you are having trouble finding inspiration, Cosmopolitan magazine recommends purchasing the "Love Letters" pocket book that features more than 200 love letters from famous authors and poets.

If you are thinking of a gift a little more 21st century, try purchasing something warm and cozy, such as a soft blanket or robe to wrap your significant other in. For an added benefit, sew in a piece of meaningful material, such as a swatch from the shirt you were wearing when you first met or a piece of yours or your child's baby blanket.

Live Adventurously

One of the most romantic gifts you can give to each other is doing something out of character. Whether it's as grand as skydiving or as simple as creating a sexy scenario where you "pick up" your significant other at a bar, there's romance and excitement in breaking free from routine.

Another option is playing dress up, such as wearing a maid or butler's outfit and tending to your partner's every need and desire.
