last year I made up a gift bag for my hubby with a little bit of everything he loves, so he had some of his favourite chocolate bars/sweets etc. It is a nice thoughtful gift that doesn’t cost the earth to put together

For my fiance last Valentine’s day, I completely surprised him. I went to his home and with his mother’s blessing (and the key to get in), I was able to do something special for him.
Every language has a way to say I love you. Ever word will have a special meaning. I took 100 different types of post-its and wrote 100 different ways to save I love you in different languages. I also then, underneath each I also wrote 100 reasons why I love him. I love him for so many more, but I thought that would be a nice addition. I hid them all over and even almost a year later, he was still finding them — he used them and made a nice collage for his bedroom wall with them. It took me a very long time to do, but it was well worth it to hear his voice and how happy he was that he was surprised. I also made chocolates for him and bought him about 15 balloons. Sometimes sentiments from the heart go the best.
This year, I wrote 365 reasons why I love him, and made an illustrated book. That way, everyday, when he wakes up, he can look at the next reason why. Sometimes we miss each other, and this way he’ll know why I love him that day. It took me a long time to do but I did it.
One more idea! For our one year anniversary, I kept a daily diary of how I felt or what we did and gave it to him. He enjoys reading up about our first year together and our many adventures, this was so time consuming but worth it, since we know look back upon those and read them. I wrote down our first kiss, to when he proposed…every single feeling I had and those days that we didn’t see each other, what I did and how I felt.
All in all — I’m a romantic fool
Enjoy!

I’m writing about a beautiful Valentine’s Day gift given to me. In 2009, I suffered a debilitating back injury that left me completely disabled, lying in bed 24/7 for 18 months. My boyfriend cooked, cleaned, dressed me and carried me to the bathroom during this difficult time. For Valentine’s Day (knowing my back could not survive going out for dinner/movie), he decided to create a romantic evening at home. He decorated my bedroom door with pink streamers, tons of pink balloons and pink roses. (My favorite color is PINK!) Even though I was in tremendous pain, it was so wonderful to be able to enjoy these decorations while lying in bed all day. He cooked my favorite meal (chicken fettucini alfredo) and served dinner in bed. He found a portable DVD player so we could watch a romantic movie while lying down. The ‘perfect Valentine’s Day gift ideas’ come from knowing what your partner needs/wants and making your best effort to provide those things for him/her. I am blessed to have such a wonderful best friend, and together bear.
My BF has taught me True Love is about showing Support, providing Hope, and giving unconditional Love to your partner all year around, not just on Valentine’s Day.

I vote 5 stars for SaraBear. It is very tragic when a 21 year old endures such a serious back injury. I know you have been fighting so hard to recover and be happy in spite of everything. I am glad your BF is such a support for you

We don’t do Valentines Day just one day a year.. for us it lasts all year long.. His take: my gift to him is that he has no pressure to spend crazy money and he gets to brag at work that he does not have to get me anything – while other guys are rushing around spending way too much money for 1 day…
My husband Jim gets bragging rights at work because he is exempt from Valentines Day. He shows me all year how much he loves me.. His day job is as an engineer but his true passion is jazz trombone player… He plays for fancy events and often brings home beautiful flower arrangements that were only going to be thrown away… sometimes there is yummy dessert… I love it!!! I know he was thinking about me while he was away and I’m happy to be a part of recycling beautiful, sometimes yummy things!! :-0)
With health issues money goes towards medical bills, but we find creative ways to entertain eachother…creative “art” with medical supply packaging… you never know what he will come up with.. but knowing he is there for me is the best part of it all…
So don’t let it be one day a year you live for, show your love every day… and give your partner bragging rights.

My idea of the best Valentines gift ever would be for those, who don’t have a significant other in thier lives, such as myself, to find the true love of thier life. For each to to have healthly, positive relationships. Holidays, Valentines day, etc..are hard for those who are alone. So many with a disability have an even harder time finding thier one true love. So..my idea and wish is for all to find that one true love on this special day.

I hope this can happen too… I married late in life compared to most and to all my college friends, but when I was not in a relationship i filled my life with like minded people [still do] and did things for others on special days [still do]. you can be with a partner and still be alone or lonely.. make your life grand in whatever way you can..

Like you, kimwool..I do the same. I’m blessed with wonderful friends who always include me in activities. I really enjoy doing what I can for them. But..I’m happy in life. So glad you have found your mate!

good for you!!! i think too much pressure is put on people for any holiday event.. love yourself and others every day so if something happens around a special holiday event, there is not a sense of disappointment… show your love yearround!!!

I vote 5 stars for Uniquephoenix. I have too many friends who are alone now – through widowhood or divorce, and many would welcome a relationship with the right person. I wish the same for all of them.

I think it would be romantic to go out on a row boat and have a friend who dives come up to the boat with a bottle of wine, wine glasses and a candle (in a water proof bag)… Caution: don’t rock the boat!

Thank you a lot for giving everyone such a wonderful opportunity to read from this website. It is usually so enjoyable and also packed with a lot of fun for me personally and my office acquaintances to search your blog nearly three times in a week to read through the new secrets you have got. Not to mention, I’m just usually happy concerning the amazing tactics you give. Some 3 areas in this post are in truth the finest I have ever had.
