Hold on - before you raise your eyebrows, let me explain what I mean. You see, I believe that romance doesnt have to cost a thing. It simply requires some thought and effort about what you can do to please your partner more. What counts the most is not the price, but the thoughts and emotions that go behind everything you say and do for your loved ones.
For starters, begin this special day with a few surprises. Why not leave a few love notes on her pillow, on her dressing table, or on her cars steering wheel? Be creative! I once asked a favour from a police officer friend to help me out on Valentines Day. He flagged down my girlfriends car while she was driving to work and acted like he was going to give her a ticket. Imagine her surprise when the police officer gave her a bunch of red roses and chocolates from me! That really started her day off with a bang; she told me many, many kisses later.
If you feel like being much more creative and daring, why settle for the love notes? You can easily get a can of water-soluble aerosol paint and write a message of love right on your front yard! Or try printing out I Love You posters on your PC and sticking them on light posts along her route to work. As an added treat for her, call her favourite radio station and request her favourite love song, so both of you can listen to it along the way.
Another great idea is to let her boss in on the celebration. Ask permission ahead of time to take her out to lunch early, or to have the rest of the day off. Then show up on her lunch break and whisk her away for a lovely picnic in the park, or wherever place you both like and is appropriate for the occasion. What I usually do is take my girl for a picnic on the beach; she loves the beach and there are not many people around than usual.
For the ladies, try leaving a note on the bathroom mirror promising an afternoon delight. Or fill up his car with I love you balloons. Have I told you that surprises can go a long way? While hes at work, find his car and leave a note on his steering wheel suggesting a romantic rendezvous. I even know a guy who was visited at work by his girlfriend wearing a trench coat with almost nothing on underneath! These little treats will definitely keep the fires burning all day long until much, much later.
You can also arrange a secret, surprise getaway for lunch yourself! Be sure to arrange it with his boss, and then visit him at work with a sexy outfit and tempt him away to lovers lane. Carry along a bottle of wine and some sweet treats, as well. And as long as were talking about food, why not cook his favourite dinner and serve it by candlelight? You dont even have to cook to get a great dinner, come to think of it. I found this website, www.helpweneedgifts.com that features great gourmet meals to make this day a festive one. They also have some great romantic gifts as well.
But why stop there? Go the whole nine yards! The first touch is to wrap your sexy negligee and send it to him at work, complete with a subtle message of a romantic evening. Leave a trail of paper hearts, each with a loving message, from the front door to the bedroom for him to find as he comes home from work. Before that, decorate your bedroom in a theme that appeals to him - Western, tropical island, medieval, anything that captures his fancy. Light some scented candles in your bedroom and lay out a romantic picnic on the bed. If this wont make the flames of love and passion roar, then nothing will.
