Long before Valentine's Day arrives, men will begin thinking of romantic ideas for Valentines Day. Every idea will be jotted down and all costs will be considered, and then the man will usually take action by selecting several ideas on the list. Every idea will be genuine and will always come from heart, but to make some of these ideas real will take some scheduling and rearranging of personal and business lives.
One of the ideas might come when the man passes a local florist shop and sees beautiful bouquets in the window. The coloring of these flowers might be centered on another holiday but the romantically minded male will know that immediately. The romantic idea that he comes up with will be fragrant and gorgeous nonetheless, because his idea to bestow on his wife two or three dozen of long stem roses seems like the perfect plan of the moment.
Some men might need to come up with ideas for Valentine's Day to restart the romance in a marriage. They will have an idea on the list that only a jeweler can handle. Some men will bravely enter a jewelry store and glance at the bracelets, rings and earrings and get very passionate about the jewelry items he is about to buy. A custom-made bracelet fitted with diamonds that gleam with gold all around them can be etched in symbols of hugs and kisses that will be enough to spark the fires of a marriage, and with matching earrings the man's idea of romance might be rekindled.
Some men have ideas of romance on Valentine's Day that will require a trip out of town. The woman might have a passion for pasta and the man will look toward a three-day holiday in Italy, and then schedule a week retreat with his mate in the United Kingdom or France. Couples engaging in quiet conversations and discussing Valentine's Day travel plans will spend the airline flights to all these locations sitting close with hands clasped tightly looking into the eyes of the other.
The romantic ideas for Valentine's Day might be an overnight stay at a villa in the mountains, or a bungalow at the beach. In most loving relationships, the location of the romantic minded trip on Valentine's Day will not even matter to either star crossed lover. The personal time alone together can be spent anywhere in the world, and with every day that they wake up together, both of them will know that they are loved.
These special ideas mean so much to women and men and always require a little organization. As each item on the list is completed, it is quite possible that another one is added. Men want to bestow lots of love on the special lady in their life on Valentine's Day and will want to show it in many ways. Some ideas by the man will be quite excessive in their quest for love to be conveyed. A man might hire a limousine for the night and be armed with sold-out tickets to the theatre. He could also get the idea to take a trip in that limousine with his honey to a hotel resort many miles away. These lavish expenses are nothing in comparison to how the man feels about the woman whom he married and has given birth to several children.
Here are 25 ideas for celebrating your love this February 14th, and throughout the year.
1. Make a memory jar. Take simple slips of paper and write a favorite memory on each one. Be specific, and try to record as much about the occasion as you can. Tuck them into a jar or wooden box, tied with a bow.
The time you spend reminiscing and recording these memories will contribute to your own romantic mood, and what your partner thinks is a plain old box of chocolates will instead be a treasured gift for years to come. Plus, you can add memories to the box for future birthday, holiday, or Valentine's Day celebrations.
2. Build a romantic fire. Host your own indoor picnic, complete with a bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries.
3. Recreate your first date together. What were you wearing? Where did you go? Do you remember what you talked about? Spend the evening reminiscing and reflecting on how far you have come as a couple.
4. Spoon.
5. Choose a book in which you are both interested, fiction or nonfiction. Read a new chapter each night before bed. This cozy tradition will allow you to spend some quality time together and often makes for thought provoking breakfast conversations.
6. Make a tape of the songs special to your relationship. Include "your song," songs from your wedding, songs from favorite movies. Add a personal voice dedication and leave it in his briefcase, Walkman, or car stereo.
7. Turn off the TV and play a game of Scrabble or Pictionary.
8. Write about the feelings you experienced when you first met your mate. Write about the first time you knew you were in love.
9. Frame a new, special photo of the two of you and display it in your home.
10. Have you been holding a grudge against your partner? Today, forgive it and move on. Witness how much power the act of forgiveness injects into your relationship.
11. Kidnap your spouse. A friend of mine had a lot of success with this one. She knew her husband had always wanted to get married in Vegas, but he had agreed to a large, formal ceremony hosted by her family. So, after they had been married 10 years, she surprised him at work with a packed suitcase. They caught an evening flight and renewed their vows before an Elvis impersonator in a Vegas chapel. Years later, they are still talking about it.
12. Travel to another town, where no one will recognize you. Check into a hotel or Bed and Breakfast.
13. Jot down 20 things you love about your partner and slip it under his dinner plate.
14. Cook her favorite breakfast.
15. Choose a book you both will enjoy, and read it aloud together.
16. Have a scavenger hunt. Write a few poems, wrap candy kisses inside, and hide them around the house. Each poem should be a clue to finding the next one. Make sure the final clue lands your mate someplace you want to end up for the entire evening. A romance package, including a bottle of champagne and new lingerie, is a nice touch.
17. Write down fifty favorite memories of your life spent together so far. Invite your partner to add to the list, as well as to share special ideas for the future.
18. Leave a message on her voicemail with a silly, romantic poem. (Roses are red, violets are blue . . .)
19. Make a CD featuring the songs that have been important in your relationship. Slip it into the CD player of her car.
20. Bring homemade cookies or brownies to his office with a simple love note.
21. Surprise her with some bath salts and her favorite magazine. Then take the kids out of the house for the evening so she can enjoy some time alone.
22. Stash a love note in his shoe.
23. Spend some time talking about all the goals you have been able to accomplish during your time as a couple. Reflecting on the things that you have been able to do with the strength of the other, including the challenges, can really help you to remember and to celebrate the depth of your relationship and how you have supported one another through it all.
24. Serve her breakfast in bed.
25. Plan a special weekend getaway. Check online travel sites for prices on weekend romantic getaways, or plan a simple trip to a neighboring town.
