Romance Tips: Creative Gifts

 

(excerpt from What's Your Heart Telling You? Finding Love and

Romance - The Workbook and Journal)

 

Our website readers, clients, patients and friends have all chimed in

wanting to be apart of this Love Manual and workbook so I have given

them a chance and have compiled an interesting list of gifts to

romance with!

 

-Make your love a gift from scratch; it is more meaningful and

personal. - Submitted by Mark

 

-Keep a scrapbook of memories (pictures, bus/plane tickets from when

you visited your love, pressed flowers, etc.). Once it is full you

can give it to your love. - Submitted by Lisa Wilson

 

-For my boyfriend's birthday I went out and bought a ton of marbles,

all different sizes, and sat down with a fine (FINE, FINE, FINE)

permanent marker and wrote things on them. I wrote the day we meet,

the funny sayings we have, I love you, our names, our silly

nicknames, etc. He will look at them from time to time and he said

that it really meant a lot to him to have me spend so much time on

such small details for a gift. - Submitted by Jenny

 

-Surprise her with an ankle bracelet. Sit her down, rub her feet,

tell her you appreciate her, then put the bracelet on her ankle. -

Submitted by Butch Pendleton

 

-This year for Valentine's Day I'm writing a fairy tale based on our

relationship. I'm going to draw pictures and make it into a book by

attaching all of the pages with ribbon. - Submitted by Andrea

 

-Last year I received the most romantic gift from my boyfriend. It

was a sculpted heart that he ordered from the web site - a big red

heart with his love message inside. - Submitted by Dana

 

-Buy your sweetheart a teddy bear and leave it on their bed with a

little note saying: " You can hug me when _____ (write your name here)

isn't here. " My boyfriend did this for me and I cuddle up to my bear

every night, in fact I can't sleep without it! - Submitted by S.

Kregs

 

-My boyfriend bought me the cutest stuffed animal and put it in the

driver's seat of my car with the seatbelt strapped around it. -

Submitted by Princess Angel

 

-For our anniversary, I made my boyfriend a book. I got a 1 inch, 3

ring binder (a photo album could also work) and I got clear plastic

folders to stick in the binder. On 100 pieces of computer paper I

wrote reasons why I love him. I had 100 reasons in all and on each

page was a different reason and a picture of us. I decorated the

front with stickers and little pictures of me. He loved it and looks

at it all the time. Another idea is to put on the back of the pages

quotes or song lyrics that fit your relationship. - Submitted by

Jessica

 

-Make ten envelopes with different things written on the outside

(like " When You Miss Me " or " When You're Sad " ) and put something

appropriate in each one. Then give them all at once to your boyfriend

and make him wait until he's feeling those certain ways to open them.

It's pretty funny to watch them get impatient! - Submitted by Sarah

Anne

 

-Make your own massage oil. Buy some sweet almond oil at the grocery

store, and some of your favorite essential oils (recipes all over the

internet). Mix them together and pour into a nifty little 4 oz bottle

(preferably colored glass) and give your sweetie a homemade, edible

massage. The effort will truly be appreciated! - Submitted by

Jennifer Hauserman

 

-A special friend of mine gave me a gift one Christmas that I will

always remember. In the box was a velvet bag containing a beautiful

wooden hand mirror. With the mirror was a note saying, " I wanted to

give you the most beautiful thing in the world for Christmas. I

looked and looked, but could not find anything more beautiful than

you. " Talk about heart melting romance! - Submitted by Britt

 

-My wife and I have been married for three years. Every year I have

followed the tradition of: 1 year = paper, 2 years = cotton, 3 years

= leather, and so on. On our first anniversary I got her airplane

tickets (paper) to a quiet beach in Florida. She had no clue we were

going. At 7:00 in the morning on a Saturday I woke her up and gave

her an anniversary card and in it was her gift. As you can imagine

she was in shock, crying, and jumping up and down with joy. We only

went for two days, but it was nice. For our second anniversary I did

something a little more difficult. I got her cotton underwear. But I

had to do more then give it to her in a gift box. So, I bought 8

blank cards and in each card I wrote a clue or a riddle or a puzzle

for her. They all lead her to a store or a business in our town. The

hard part was getting people in the store to play along. When she

arrived at the store the person working had to give her the next

clue. I also had a little gift waiting at each store (for example, a

CD at the music store). She loved it! - Submitted by Matt C.

 

-You know the saying: " If it is carved in stone it must be true " .

Find a stone and carve a little message in it such as: " I Love You

Andrea " or " I love You Bob " , and then give it to your honey. -

Submitted by Brian Stettler

 

-My boyfriend had to go across the country to a speech competition,

so I decided to make him a care package. I got a small box and put in

a luv pop for him when " he needs a little loving " , a penny " for good

luck " , a paper star I made because " no matter how he does, he'll

always be my shining star " , a stone with " love " on it so he will be

reminded that he's loved, a picture of us together, a phone card, and

a love letter for each day that he's gone. I sprayed the box with my

perfume, taped it shut, and made him promise he wouldn't open it

until he was on the plane. He loved it! - Submitted by Emily

 

-For my boyfriend's birthday my friends and I blew up a bunch of

balloons and I wrote something that I liked about him on each

balloon. At 5:00 in the morning on the day of his birthday I put the

balloons in the back seat of his car with his presents on the front!

He loved it and said that no one has ever done anything that nice for

him! - Submitted by Kylie

 

-Gather pictures of your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend from the first day

you saw them, to the now and make a card using a color copier. (Be

sure to use at least one wedding picture if married.) Make sure the

card is covered with pics inside and out. Inside the card write: " I'd

do it ALL over again! " . This would also work with a small photo

album. - Submitted by Mr.Romance

 

-Get a shoe box and leave it blank on the outside. Decorate the

inside with whatever you want, but don't forget to put a picture of

you on the bottom side of the lid so when he opens it she will see

your picture. Then in the bottom write a note telling him that this

box is full of blown kisses that he can take out and use when ever he

feels blue. - Submitted by Shar Czerwonka

 

-Make her a jigsaw puzzle. You will need to get a picture of the two

of you enlarged, and a piece of 1/4 " wood the same size as the

picture. I downloaded a jigsaw puzzle creation program and used it to

get a template for the pieces. Trace the pieces on the wood and cut

them out on a jigsaw. Then glue the picture on and use a razor to cut

the picture to match the pieces. - Submitted by QM

 

-Buy her a teddy bear and spray it with your cologne, now she can be

reminded of you whenever she smells it. - Submitted by Pauline
