1. Gift baskets - With gift baskets you do not just have to send just bath and spa types. There are also chocolate, wine, meat and cheese, and more romantic ones (massage). The options and variety are virtually endless.
2. Jewelry - Buy that nice piece of jewelry that they’ve had their eye on or that they have been mentioning and make sure to get it engraved with their pet name or a phrase that is just between you two making it even more personal and special.
3. Lingerie - Buy a nice, sexy piece of lingerie. Make sure it is not outside of her comfort zone, however. Do not opt for the crotchless panties or a latex baby doll, most likely she will not like it and never wear it. You want to make sure she enjoys wearing it as much as you enjoy looking at her wearing it.
4. Flowers - Flowers are okay as long as you do not do it every year or for every occasion. Once you do that it becomes more of a ritual instead of a thoughtful gift. If you want your flowers to make a great, impression buy their favorite flowers instead of roses. However, to make it a real memorable gift plant a rose bush of flowers so they can remember you all year.
5. Date - Go on a romantic date to a place that holds memories for the two of you. Like the place where you met, went on your first date, or proposed.
6. Get-away - Have a weekend get-away. Choose a bed and breakfast so that it is private and cozy. You can also go to that special place you have both wanted to visit together.
7. Spa - Give them a day at the spa. Who doesn’t want to be pampered? Better yet, make it a couple’s day and spend the day together being pampered.
8. Chocolates - Do not just run out and buy the first heart shaped box of candy in the Valentine’s Day aisle at the supermarket. Buy those favorite truffles or dark chocolates from that favorite chocolatier.
9. Treats - Run to the market and buy all supplies you need to make their favorite cake, cookies, or candy. It will truly be remember how you made those fantastic cookies or candy. If you don't bake then make it a meal. There are plenty of cookbooks and recipes to follow if you're not a natural cook.
10. Name a star - Name a star after the one you love. This is a unexpected gift.
11. Hand-made gifts - Never ever underestimate the value of a hand-made gift. It shows that you thought they were important enough to take the time out of our life to make them something special.
