 Origin Of Valentine's Day
Each February, in places around the world, friends exchange flowers,
gifts, and candy in celebration of Valentine's Day. The name of St.
Valentine is known across the globe as a patron saint. Most of us
however, do not know the true origin of St. Valentine and how this
special day came to be. What we do know is that February is the
month of romance. As we know it today, St. Valentine's Day contains
elements of both ancient Roman and Christian traditions. The
Catholic Church recognizes at least three martyred saints names
Valentine or Valentineus.

One of the common legends states that Valentine was a priest that
served in third century Rome. At the time, Emperor Claudius II
declared that single males made superior soldiers than did those who
had wives and children and he outlawed marriage for all young men
in order to optimize his potential army of soldiers. Valentine
immediately realized the injustice in this declaration and continued to
perform marriages in secret ceremonies, which was in direct defiance
of Emperor Claudius II.

Upon learning of Valentine's actions, the Emperor immediately had

him put to death.

There are additional stories surrounding Valentine that suggest he

was killed for attempting to assist Christians in escaping Roman
prisons where they were often tortured and beaten. If one particular
legend holds true, Valentine himself sent the first ever "valentine"
greeting.

It is believed that Valentine fell in love with a jailer's daughter while

in prison. The girl had visited Valentine in jail, during which time
Valentine fell deeply in love with her. It is thought that before his
death, Valentine sent her a letter that he signed "From Your
Valentine".

By the time of Valentine's death and subsequent sainthood, he was
one of the most popular legends in England and France during the
Middle Ages.

The early pastors of Roman Christian churches used St. Valentine's

Day as the day young men chose maidens from the congregation as
potential brides. Since that time there have been many traditions that
have become an important part of Valentine's Day. Cards, gifts, and
the promise of eternal love are the most common way that we express
our feelings on this very special day each year.

In the United States, the first commercially printed Valentine's Day

cards began appearing in the early 1800s. Since that time, Valentine's
Day has become a highly profitable business in which millions of
dollars are spent each year.

While we enjoy and anticipate Valentine's Day and the gifts we will
give and receive, it is important to remember that this very special
day originated with no gifts whatsoever, but rather an promise of
eternal love and happiness that cost nothing at all.

 5 Fabulous Valentine Gift Ideas For Her
It’s almost Valentine’s Day and you have no idea how to show your
love for your special girl. Don’t worry: here are several ideas you can
use now, and be a hero.

1. Roses! I know what you are thinking: boring, thoughtless, not

good enough, etc. Well, here is a way to make giving roses very
special: buy her a dozen roses and place a pearl inside each rose
bud. As the rose buds open, the pearls will be revealed as an
extra surprise. Once she finds all your pearls, take them to the
jewelry store and have them strung into a necklace - something
your true love will be able to hold onto once the roses are gone.

2. Say "I love you" for 12 entire months with a coupon book filled
with favors that she can redeem throughout the year. Choose a
different favor for each month of the year that she can redeem
on any day of the month. Here are some suggestions: a foot
massage, a back rub, cleaning up after dinner, a night out alone,
etc.

3. Hershey's Kisses automatically say, "I Love You”. Try a new

twist to this traditional gift by carefully unwrapping each kiss,
taking out the paper tag, and replacing the tag with your own
handmade messages that start off by saying, "I love you
because…". Think of as many different reasons as you can come
up with. Then carefully wrap the kisses back in foil with their
new tags clearly displayed through the top of each kiss.

4. A romantic night at home - Purchase the dozen roses you are

accustomed to buying on Valentine's Day, but do not give them
to her on the stems. Instead, create a romantic atmosphere by
running her a hot bubble bath complete with candlelight, soft
love songs, and fragrant bath oil. While she is enjoying her
relaxing bath, gently pull the rose petals off of the stems and
sprinkle them from the bathroom door to the bedroom, creating
a path for her to follow. Sprinkle several petals on the bed and
one long stem rose on her pillow. Enhance the magical night by

Page 6

 purchasing some exotic massage oil and treating her to a
massage she will never forget!

5. If funds are sparse, instead of a traditional expensive dinner in

a restaurant, take her somewhere she will never suspect. Pack a
picnic basket filled with her favorite treats, a bottle of wine, and
candles. Take along a couple of blankets, a battery-operated CD
player, and several romantic CDs. Drive to the park or
somewhere with a secluded atmosphere and treat her to a picnic
for two. Before the night is over, surprise her with a small token
of your love - something you have made for her on your own (a
special Valentine’s Day card, a bookmark, a coupon book, etc.)

Now pick an idea and run with it! Have a fabulous Valentine’s Day!

 Finding the Right Valentine Day Gift for Her
Oh boy! Here comes another Valentine day disaster. If you are
anything like me, this is how you feel for about 2 weeks prior to
February 14th. At least that’s the way I felt until the internet came
around.

Now, shopping on the internet can be as daunting as the mall,

especially for the shopping challenged like me. Unless you have a
specific idea what you want, roaming malls can actually be easier than
browsing an online store. Even with high speed download clicking
from page to page looking for gift ideas just doesn’t work.

So what do you do? You need to get a plan and stick to it…

Let’s face is. Our typical problem is the lack of thought and
preparation when it comes to Valentines Day. Flowers, chocolate,
dinner out at the usual restaurant just doesn’t cut it after the first
couple of years. (I will say that jewelry usually does work, but that
does get expensive ;-).

So, the plan… Here’s what I do. Typically, after the holidays my wife
and I start talking about where we might be interested in going for
our vacation in the summer. We will talk about cruises or getting a
beach house, or taking the kids to Disney World. Sometimes, we
might even consider a drive to __________ (wherever) to see the
sights. The thing I’ve found is that no matter where you plan to visit,
you can find hundreds of products and information online pertaining
to your trip.

The first stop is Amazon.com.

Just search for your destination or your topic. If you are considering a
cruise for the first time, there are several books outlining the do’s and
don’ts when booking a cruise. The same is true for air travel, or travel
outside the country. You will find paperbacks for under $15.

Second stop is BN.com

Page 8

Try the same search as you did on Amazon. You’ll find many of the
same books and products (like videos), but they may have some
others that will work.

No matter where you plan to go, search for your destination in

Google. You will find free information on travel to just about ANY
state in the union, and travel agents will gladly send you more
information on more exotic locations.

Now, bundle your new books, videos and brochures together with the
traditional card along with flowers or chocolate and you have a gift
that she’ll remember all year. Typically, you can do all this for as little
as fifty dollars. It’s a winner.

 Making The Most Of Valentine's Day Gifts For Her
Choosing a romantic gift for Valentine's Day for a woman should be a
pleasure, with thoughts and feelings of how much it will make her feel
loved, special and wanted.

To put emphasis on the special, then you should, first and foremost,
consider her and her individual likes and dislikes. Whether you are
just considering a gift of flowers, such as red roses, or a gift basket, it
will not be very romantic if you end up buying something which your
Valentine does not like or appreciate, and which clearly shows you do
not have a clue about the real her. Your gifts and tokens of love must
come from the heart.

Valentine's Day comes but once a year, so why not make it just that, a
day? If your budget allows, and she can be available for the day, then
try spending some time thinking about what would make her very
happy and spoilt, pampered, and very much loved.

By planning a full Valentine Day, you will undoubtedly make her

Valentine's gift unique. In fact, the gift will be a series of gifts and
events spread throughout the day. Timing and order could be very
important, and that is something you will have to judge depending on
your girlfriend or wife.

The permutations for a true Valentine "Day" are endless. If you first
decide what to include, then think about the best timing and order for
her to get maximum pleasure, the days itinerary will gradually full
into place. For example, if a romantic, candlelit evening meal is an
essential, then you need to get that booked well in advance and the
time set. Should you believe she would love to be pampered in a day
spa for much of the morning, then that that too would need to be
booked well in advance, as would an afternoon makeover and hairdo.

While it cannot be that much of a surprise as a day (after all she will
need to be asked to be available all day), you can keep the individual
elements of the day, and the physical gifts, secret. How is this for an
example?:

Page 10

1. A very beautiful Valentine Card on the breakfast table waiting
her, or delivered by courier to her door.

2. Early morning delivery of flowers to her home, or yours if you

live together. Including roses? Well, that's up to you, but more
of that later.

3. A visit to a good day spa where she can be pampered from head
to foot for the morning.

4. A light lunch somewhere that is a bit out of the ordinary, but

relaxing and with a warm and welcoming ambience. Maybe a
floating restaurant if you have one close enough, or anything
else with a romantic touch.

5. It's off to the parlor for a hairdo, manicure, pedicure and

makeover.

6. She'll be feeling on top of the world by now, a great time to go to

a boutique or two to find that perfect outfit for the evening
meal.

7. Home on schedule, to await the delivery of a gift basket that

includes a bottle of her favorite wine (for later), some feminine
and floral fragrances including bath salts, so she can have a long
relaxing soak in the bath before going out for the meal.

8. While she's in the bath, hide a new bottle of a perfume she has
always wanted inside the new dress so she will find it as she gets
ready for the evening.

9. A wonderful candlelit meal, with her favorite choice of foods

available; a romantic ambience is a necessary to top off the
evening.

 10. As you order your dessert, a well timed flower delivery of
fresh roses delivered to the restaurant, and then your table.
You'll need a reliable florist and a bit of time watching for this!

11. Back home and an offer to open the wine.

12.While she is in the bathroom, replace the bedroom lighting with

scented candles, and place her last gift, some new lingerie, on
the pillow to await her.

That is an expensive example, and please do not send me the bill.

However, I am sure you get the idea. Valentine's Day can be an
experience, not just a card, a rose, and a meal.

 Popular Women's Valentines Day Gifts
Looking for a Valentines Day gift for the amazing woman, for the love
of your life? For your amazing wife, or girlfriend, or fiancée? And
nothing good and interesting comes to mind?

Don't despair - we are here to help. We have put together great

Valentine’s Day gift suggestions for you. And, we will not ask for any
credit - feel free to take all the credit for picking the gift, and enjoy a
fabulous Valentines with your sweetie. We won't tell :)

Here are our recommendations for fabulous Valentines Day gifts for
your sweetie:

1. Roses. Flowers in general are a great gift for Valentines Day, but
roses are best. Red roses symbolize love, and if your sweetie
likes a different color of roses - buy her favorite color, and get
bonus points for knowing the color.
2. You don't have to buy roses - if your sweetheart likes some
other flowers, but those. Or, buy her chocolate roses or roses
made of glass - the best thing is to find her what she likes.

3. Chocolate. Chocolate is one of the most popular gifts on

Valentines Day. Women love chocolate, and chocolate candies,
chocolate hearts and chocolate covered strawberries make
fabulous gifts for Valentines Day.
4. A box of truffles with different types of truffles will work great.
Or, if you know which chocolates she loves, get her those.

5. Jewelry with Hearts on It. There is so much jewelry with hearts

out there, that we don't know where to start. Any place you
look, any jewelry store you go to before Valentine’s Day has a
huge selection of rings, pendants and bracelets with hearts on
them.

6. Why do we like heart jewelry? When you give her a heart ring,
or a necklace, you tell her that your heart belongs to her. A very
romantic gesture. We like many jewelry designs with hearts in

Page 13

 them. Pick something that is tastefully done; sometimes heart
jewelry is made specifically for Valentines Day, and might look
cheesy. Pick something that is not just for Valentine's Day,
something she could wear after Valentine's Day as well.

7. Personalized Gifts are also very popular Valentines Day gifts. A

personalized gift has the name of your sweetie, or even both of
your names on it. How much more personal and special can a
gift be?

8. Luxurious Gifts. How about something luxurious, something

she has been wanting for some time, but doesn't want to spend
money on? A gift certificate for a day at the spa, a dinner at a
pricey restaurant that both of you can enjoy, or an expensive
piece of jewelry are all great gifts in this category.

Congratulations on spending the Valentine's Day with the one you

love. Make sure you use our recommendations, and get her the gift
she will really enjoy!

Anniversaries and celebrations loom large for women than for men.
They represent the importance of the bonds they have formed with
others and failing to honor these days is a like a failure to honor the
relationship.

Men love to impress the women in their life with extravagant gifts.
But for the female of the species, it is not largess which counts but the
fact that you have remembered; it's not about generosity, it is about
thoughtfulness.

Planning is important. The last minute dash to the nearest shop to

buy a cheap bouquet when you have obviously forgotten the
anniversary is essentially making up for a crime you have already
committed – failing to appreciate the importance of her place in your
life. Yet ordering even the smallest posy or flowering plant in
advance, accompanied by a suitably worded note, a well-chosen card
and another small gift thoughtfully selected goes a long way in being
in her good graces. You can select from the range of gifts that florists
make available at this time and throughout the year – a stuffed toy, a
selection of chocolates, or a beautiful and lasting setting for your
floral gift (such as a glass vase).

The point is to prove you have put some consideration into the gift,
that you know your woman well and that you have thought about
what she likes. She may have dropped a hint about what she would
like. Think back to conversations you have had with her over the past
few weeks. Or select something which relates to her hobbies and
interests. Chocolates and wine are always a favorite, especially if you
plan to accompany your gift by a night out with an après-soirée or
perhaps to have an evening in where you do all the cooking and
cleaning up for once. And don't forget the option of tickets to a show.

Any florist will also tell you that flowers have a language all of their
own from the single rose with its beautifully understated and elegant
declaration of true love to the unbridled passion of a dozen roses,
from the sweet simplicity of a posy to the extravagance of a bouquet.

Page 15

The orchid speaks of deep desire while the flowering plant appeals to
women who appreciate a gesture but love a gift which lasts. You know
your woman. Pick what you know will win her heart.

Finally, you should think about the timing of your gift. Too late in the
day and it will seem like you forgot or only remembered at the last
minute. Too soon and it will lost in the business of getting to work or
getting kids off to school. A mid morning delivery to the home or to
your partner's office is the perfect solution. And now is the time to
order before the last minute rush.

So take out your credit card now and pick up the phone...your reward
is already on its way.

 Special Valentines Day Gift Basket
In the recent times, Valentines Day Gift Baskets have gained
tremendous popularity. A gift basket loaded with the goodies your

This is more because a specially wrapped gift basket shall add a touch
of uniqueness to any gift that makes it special for the receiver.

This type of gift basket is very much dependent upon the person to
whom it is going to be gifted. For example, if there is something
favorite that you know about the recipient you can easily include it in
the gift hamper. Handmade gift baskets shall include items fro
children or other relations as well as occasions. Some of the common
Valentine Day Gift Baskets could be Chocolate hampers or Bath gift
baskets etc.

 The meaning of Valentine’s Day flowers
Nothing says it is Valentine’s Day better than red roses. The meaning
of Valentine’s Day flowers with red roses is love. It is an ideal, but
unoriginal, way of telling her that you love her without saying a word.
You have to have the mindset of what type of flower arrangement,
including color and type of flower, would personalize her best. When
choosing flowers for this lover’s holiday, do keep in mind the type of
person that you are buying for. Roses come in a variety of colors and
meanings. While the red rose is all for love, the yellow has a meaning
of friendship and the pink is all about happiness.

Valentine’s Day is by far the most romantic of the holidays. While red
roses are a favorite of this holiday, they also have a strong meaning of
passion. That is what these fragrant gifts should convey for the
meaning of Valentine’s Day flowers. This holiday is one of two
holidays in which flower giving is the most popular. The other holiday
is Mother’s Day. Giving flowers is a token of your affection to the one
that you love. Women are not the only recipients on this holiday. Men
love to be in this role too. The meaning of Valentine’s Day flowers for
the man in your life is a symbol of love and the arrangements should
be kept simple and masculine.

Give a bouquet to your special valentine. She will know instantly that
you thought of her first on this holiday and hopefully her sentiment is
the same for you. You both will be bursting with love and this day will
be forever remembered. Now we have discussed the red rose as an
option for Valentine’s Day. It is a flower that has been given over and
over again and has lost some of its love appeal. Consider a sunflower
for the person in your life. The meaning of this Valentine’s Day flower
is admiration. Your special someone will feel adored by you all day
long. How about a For-get-me not? This flower means true love. You
could not say it any better. A tulip given on Valentine’s Day has a
meaning of the perfect lover. Now that is a desired compliment.

The meaning of Valentine’s Day flowers can be what ever you would
like. The person receiving them will get an overwhelming feeling of
appreciation that you thought of them on this day. No matter what

Page 18

Click here for Valentine's Day Gift resources!

type of flower you give her, one thing is for sure, she will love the
thought behind this gift that speaks ever so loudly to the heart
without ever saying a word.

 The Story Behind Your Valentine's Chocolates
Valentine's Day is synonymous with romance, of course. But of the
millions who celebrate the popular holiday for lovers each year, how
many actually know the rich history behind it?

There are several competing theories on the origins of Valentine's

Day. Some say its beginnings can be found in the Middle Ages, when
many believed that birds mated for life on Feb. 14. To commemorate
the spirit of companionship, people would send love letters on that
day.

Others say we owe our celebration to the ancient Roman feast of

Lupercalia, a pagan fertility festival that was held in mid-February.
On this day, women wrote love notes that were placed in an urn and
randomly drawn by men, who would then pursue the note-writers
and claim them as companions for the next year.

Early Christians preferred to associate the holiday with the saint of

romantic causes, Saint Valentine. But there is some controversy
regarding Saint Valentine: The Catholic Church recognizes at least
three saints named Valentine or Valentinus.

The most popular candidate is a third century priest. Legend says he

performed secret marriages against the orders of Emperor Claudius
II, who forbade young men from marrying because he believed that
single men were more likely to join the army.

As the story goes, Valentine was imprisoned for his misdeeds. He

then fell in love with his jailer's daughter and sent her a note signed
"From Your Valentine" before he was executed in A.D. 270. A little
more than 200 years later, Pope Gelasius officially recognized Feb. 14
in honor of Valentine, the patron saint of lovers.

Some say the tradition of sending Valentine greetings started in 1415

with a Frenchman named Charles, Duke of Orleans. Imprisoned in
the Tower of London after the Battle of Agincourt, the duke
reportedly passed time by writing romantic verses for his wife. By the

Page 20

16th century, sending written expressions of affection on Valentine's
Day had become very common.

By the beginning of the 20th century, the giving of Valentines was

accompanied with gifts of flowers and chocolates. The red rose and
heart-shaped box of chocolates became synonymous with Valentine's
Day.

Now, more than $1 billion is spent annually on Valentine's Day candy.

The National Confectioners Association estimates that more than 36

million candy hearts will be sold this year alone, the majority of them
from Russell Stover, the leading producer of heart-shaped boxes of
chocolate in the United States. Russell Stover also caters to the health
conscious with assortments that are sugar-free and low in
carbohydrates.

 The Top 3 Things Every Woman Wants For
Valentine’s Day
Valentine's Day is around the corner. So what do you get her this
year? Maybe you're tired of doing the same old "red roses and a box
of chocolates" thing and you want to make this year a Valentine's Day
she'll remember without spending a fortune.

Here are the top three things every woman wants for Valentine's Day.
You may be surprised!

1. A Show of Effort
Women want to know that their man has put some thought and
energy into making their Valentine's Day special. They want to see
that there was time spent in preparation for the evening. It's not
about how much money you spend. In fact, it's better to have spent
more time than money on Valentine's Day.

Plan an evening that requires a little forethought, and preparation.

Women know if you just stopped at the local convenience store to
pick up some roses on your way over. Give her a night dedicated to
her wants and desires - not just something thrown together at the last
moment.

2. Proof You Listen to Her and Know What She Likes

As a man, one of your most important jobs in your relationship is to
listen to your woman. Women drop clues on a constant basis in
everyday talk. For example, if the two of you are out shopping, she
might see a bunch of tulips, and say "I just love tulips! Pink tulips are
my favorite flower." One of the best things you can do is hear that
information, remember it, and use it at a later time.

Then on Valentine's Day buy her pink tulips instead of the standard
red roses. Chances are she will be so impressed that you even knew
she likes pink tulips, because she forgot she said it, or even that you
remembered all this time, and that you went to the trouble to surprise
her with her favorites.

Page 22

This can apply to anything including a certain food she loves but
never indulges in, a hotel or retreat she'd like to take with you, a piece
of jewelry she adores but would never spend the money on herself, or
maybe something off beat like she's always wanted to learn ballroom
dancing - Sign the two of you up for lessons. There are many ways to
make Valentine's Day memorable if you just listen.

3. Pamper Her
All women love to be pampered. Some may not be used to it, or not
even know what they like, but I promise you all women will love it. A
gift certificate to the spa is not the same. Here's why - When you
pamper a woman you are taking care of her, you are making her feel
good, and by you doing the pampering you are showing your love. So
how should you pamper her? Every woman likes different things
more than others, so don't be afraid to ask her ahead of time. Here
are some suggestions to get you started.

You could make a bubble bath for two complete with candles and
champagne. If she's not a bath girl, you might consider buying a
small bottle of massage oil, have her get into her bath robe and give
her a back massage. If she's a woman that spends her days on her
feet, you may want to give her a pedicure.

Remember that however you pamper her it should be done for her
enjoyment alone. It should not be used solely as a way to get her
warmed up for sex. If she leads it that way, then all the better, but go
into it with the intention of just making her feel good. Women can
sense when they are being primed for sex, and when it is a genuine
act of kindness.

The key is to listen to her, find out what she really likes, and plan an
evening that caters to her. Surprise her with her favorite things
instead of the typical Valentines roses, chocolates, and teddy bears.
And, spend time and effort to make this Valentine's Day a night she
will remember and brag to her friends about.

 This Valentine’s Day Say “I Love You” With Cookies
What better way to tell your sweetie “I Love You” than with some
fresh baked cookies? Give some of these sweet treats a try this
Valentine’s Day. Cupid himself would be impressed by these yummy
creations. They are sure to be a hit with your Sweetheart, Children,
Neighbors or anyone else special to you as well. Don’t forget to get the
kids involved! I still have memories of making Valentine’s Day
Cookies as a child.

Heart Shaped Cookies

Make you favorite roll-out sugar cookie recipe. Use a heart shaped
cookie cutter to cut them. Bake, frost and decorate to your heart’s
content. You can sprinkle them with red or pink crystallized sugar
before you bake them, or frost and sprinkle with some tiny candied
hearts or pink sprinkles after they are baked. Use icing in a tube to
write a message or draw a picture on the cookie.

Cookie Lollipop
Heart Shaped cookie lollipops are always a big hit. Start with basic
sugar cookie dough. Roll it out to about 1/8th inch thickness (place
the dough between two sheets of wax paper to keep the dough from
sticking). Use a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut an equal amount
of hearts. Place half a bamboo skewer, a lollipop stick (found at craft
stores) or a Popsicle stick on the bottom half of the hearts. Place the
remaining hearts on top and press them firmly together. Bake
according to your recipe instructions and decorate as desired.

Tip – soak the skewers or Popsicle sticks in water before placing them
on the cookies to keep them from getting burnt.

Valentine’s Rice Krispies Treats

Make Rice Krispies Treats and while the mixture is still warm use a
large heart shaped cookie cutter to cut them out. If you can’t find a
cookie cutter of the right size, draw a heart on cardboard and use it as
a template. Just lay it on the sheet of Rice Krispies Treats and trace
around it with a knife. For even more Valentine fun add a few drops

of red food coloring to the marshmallow mixture for a pink version of
the sticky treat.

Cookie Dough Jar

Place the dry ingredients of your favorite cookie recipe in a pretty jar.
Write the recipe for the cookie on a heart shaped piece of paper or a
valentine’s note card. Tie it with a pretty bow around the jar. Make
the glass jar even more special by drawing little red hearts on it with a
permanent marker. These are so cute and easy!

Bouquet of Cookies
Bake up some of your favorite cookies. Get a pretty basket and line it
with a red or pink cloth napkin. Arrange the homemade cookies in the
basket. If you’d like, you can also add some heart shaped cookie
cutters, Valentine’s Day themed sprinkles, or some hot chocolate mix.
Another option would be to use a piece of floral foam and arrange
some decorated Cookie Lollipops within the basket and fill the
bottom with Hershey’s Kisses or other Valentine Candy.

All of these cookie ideas for Valentine’s Day make wonderful gifts for
a special someone that has a personal touch. They are sure to be
appreciated, after all, who doesn’t like cookies?

 Tips and Ideas for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is near, what are you planning to do for your love
one? I know you've read somewhere from the internet that you should
surprise your love one by making your date creative, be interesting,
plan well, and have sense of humor when doing all the above.

But what many people want to know about Valentine's Day tips are,
what gifts should you choose? What ideas should you have to do for
your surprises?

Here are 5 gifts tips for men to women:

1. Write personalized love letter or poem - There is no shortcut; spend

some time creating words from the bottom of your heart. I'm sure you
can do it if you REALLY love her so much. And please don't copy from
else where, dumb blonde may not be so dumb nowadays.

2. Flowers go with card, chocolates or jewelry - Some experts might

say giving these may be showing you're predictable. But no doubt
women still love men giving them these gifts, every woman loves
attention from men.

3. Romantic Dinner - If you want to become a romantic Romeo of

Valentine’s Day, plan a romantic evening by having a dinner with
your lady.

4. Lingerie - This works best only IF you're very close with her. Don't
get your lady lingerie for knowing her 3 days. Also, giving only
lingerie might looks like an invitation for sex, and this will disappoint
her by thinking all you have in mind is SEX.

5. Best gift, combine all from the above - a love letter in a card with
roses, and a romantic dinner. Remember to use your creativity as
there're many men out there might be doing the same. For example,
give strawberries dipped in chocolates instead of just chocolates or

lovely evening.

Okay, enough for the gifts. How about some ideas for Valentine's
Day? How to keep a Valentine's date interesting? Here're some ideas
for you to start one:

1. Prepare a romantic dinner yourself, I’m talking about D.I.Y. You

can easily pickup ay cookbook from your nearest bookstore or just
purchase any e-cookbook online. Then pick the best 5 out from
hundreds of recipes, from fine cuisines to exotic drinks.

2. Plan romantic activities, start from dinner to dance, then end the
evening with a wonderful love affair. It can be done in your own
house or just go out and have fun.

3. Do something special like in the movie, have a romantic picnic at

the beach, on a boat, on a plane (if you're rich enough), on a roof top,
ride horses to your dinner date, use trained animal to pass your gifts.

I'm sure by now you already have tons of creative ideas in your mind.
Don't be afraid to try new things, it's Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day - Why Rose Is The Preferred Flower?
The world is full of flowers. Visit any place dedicated to flowers and
you will be amazed at the types of flowers, and facts about them.
Flowers come in all shapes, and colors. Some of them can intoxicate
you with their lovely perfume. Some are so delicate that one fears
touching them. And all of them are stunningly beautiful. still, it is the
Rose which is preferred around the world as a flower of choice on the
Valentine's day? I wonder about this. And though I have not tried to
search for the reasons, here is my own theory on why it is so. One
another fact struck me. We can get Roses in many colors but still it
the dark red that is preferred as the flower of love. Why?

Let us first think about the color choice. I think that dark red must be
the preferred color as it looks like red. And every true lover is ready to
shed his/her blood for the beloved. Also love is associated with the
heart, and heart pumps blood. So red signifies love. Colors have their
own significance, looking at any white color, the first thought is of
purity. Same way red means love.

Now let us examine our central theme. Why Rose? A Rose has thorns.
But the thorns are below the Rose. The Rose represents life
beautifully. It has very soft petals, that tell us about the soft side of
living and thorns to convey that life is not all the bed of Roses without
thorns. What does a lover do? A true lover will always take the thorns
and give only the soft flowers to his/her darling. That is love and love
demands that one give only comfort to one's darling. Love demands
sacrifice. Love demands giving of joy. Love demands that all pain be
kept away from the beloved. That is also the message a lover sends
across to his/her beloved with a Rose. I have kept the thorns with
myself and I am sending you these soft flowers . I think this is the
reason why on Valentine's day, the red Rose is the flower of choice.

Valentine's Day Flower Delivery
There is no doubt that Eros and Mercury work a nifty and highly
successful business partnership these days thanks to the near
instantaneous power of the Internet and the highly successful
distribution networks such as Interflora inter alia in linking together
an international band of brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers – more
commonly known as your local, friendly neighborhood florists – in a
huge multi-partner effort to ensure that your tokens of love,
celebration, concern, shared sorrow or mourning, remembrance and
thanksgiving reach those you want to reach out to on time and to
specification.

From selection through presentation, to the writing on the card and

the tying of the bow, to the creation of beautiful set pieces to the
addition of creative gifts – whether stuffed, cute and furry, dark,
chocolate and yummy or sweet smelling and expensive – every aspect
of choice is catered for in a 24 X 7 drive to enhance the emotional life
of those you care for with a deep felt sign of your affection.

And amazingly all this can be done from any part of the globe to any
other part of the globe and – one suspects – from outer space as well
(should inhabitants of other Earth like planets also have broadband),
all for the same reasonable rates and with the promise, on most
occasions, of same day or even same hour delivery to any location you
desire.

What other business in the world promises credit card awards in the
form of kisses?

So you will understand if, perhaps, coming up to this celebration of

celebrations for lovers everywhere, these determined deliverers of
love's sweet signs ask for a little indulgence in their long hard rounds.
Much as they would love to cater to your every whim and deliver,
even up to the very last minute and however late the call; unlike other
donators of celebratory munificence, they possess neither FTL bunny
feet nor magical reindeer at their disposal.
