Valentine's Romantic Gift Basket

So here is another do it yourself kind of idea that will help you relive all of your best memories together. Gather items that remind you of dates, events, conversations, and other experiences you've had together. Pick a theme such as the first few months of dating, the month before and after you got engaged, your wedding, or just the highlights over time. Then, when you give the gift you can explain what happened from your point of view while you enjoy one item and story at a time.

Supplies

  • Basket, box, or other container (shoebox, hat box, gift box etc.)
  • Favorite Items
  • Memory Items

Favorite Items Include:


  • Favorite Candy
  • Food from your favorite restaurant
  • Favorite flower
  • Favorite piece of clothing etc
  • Anything that can be used to generate conversation about a specific memory.

Memory Items Include:

  • Business Card from a restaurant, hotel, or other place where something special happened
  • Notes
  • Emails
  • Text Messages
  • Drawings
  • etc.
Assemble the items chronologically, in order of sincerity, by how much you remember, you decide! 

Hearing about the perspective of the one you love never grows old. Plus you'll get to show the one you love how much you care in noticing the details. Ladies especially will love a night like this!

Give Chocolates for Valentine's Day

So this is a very classic gift. There is a very interesting site from a French chocolatier who promises to send chocolates via DHL. I'm a fan of chocolate in general, but European and especially French chocolate is really the only way to go. Check out Mr. Jean-Philippe Khodara's site Z Chocolat.

What Not To Do



So you are looking for some Valentine's Day Ideas, we will help you in advance and show you WHAT NOT TO DO on Valentine's Day (I am mostly speaking to you guys out there).


Look at our Humor page to see examples of what not to do.


Alright, let's start with a list of WHAT NOT TO DO for GUYS:

  • Forget. If you forget you will instantly be tagged as insensitive whether you like it or not.
  • Give the wrong impression with jewelry. Avoid ring boxes like the plague, unless of course you are proposing.
  • Assume red roses are her favorites. Not every girl likes red roses, ask her in advance.
  • Try a new recipe. Yeah, you may be a good chef but if you haven't made her that special dish before don't bother trying. Stick to your guns and impress her with something you have cooked before. If you really want to cook her something new practice making it before.
  • Wing it. Make a plan - even if it is lousy she will appreciate you the effort and thought.
  • Break up with her. Yeah, this one should be self explanatory.
  • Go obviously cheap. A letter is better than a .99 cent stuffed bear. (If you want cheap try some Do It Yourself Ideas)

Valentines Day Ideas - WHAT NOT TO DO


Now, let's look at WHAT NOT TO DO for GIRLS:

  • Set unrealistic expectations. Remember who you are with, A GUY, they are naturally insensitive and don't really understand girls. They are trying their best to make you happy so if they don't take you on a helicopter ride or buy an expensive piece of jewelry, don't be disappointed.
  • Look disappointed (EVER). Fake it if you have to, cut your guy some slack and think positively. Once he sees you disappointed it could ruin the rest of the day.
  • Talk about what you did last year with your ex-boyfriend. Doing so really benefits no one, don't do it. He will think you are comparing him with your ex-boyfriend.
  • Be Dishonest with your guy. If you expect a flower or small gift from your guy, don't tell him that 'you don't have to get me anything.' Guys are simple, give him an idea of what you want and he will probably do it. (Don't know what you want?Try our Gift Ideas).

Valentines Day Humor

Valentines Day Humor

Valentines Day Humor

For every valentines day that is amazing and romantic, there are many more that are awkward, lame and downright hilarious. Valentines day humor can be very painful to watch for someone who has been a part of those especially awkward valentines day moments. For example, breakups, buying the wrong flowers, forgetting, going overboard with gifts and jewelry, and probably the most funny - rejected proposals.



Sometimes Valentines Day humor comes when you are least expecting it. Watch as Dwight tries to come up with the perfect wording for his valentine for Angela.



What would a Valentine's Day humor page be without a small collection of proposal rejections on valentines day. Enjoy
