Valentine’s Day, a day of love spanning centuries. With so many ways to be someone’s valentine or to ask someone to be your valentine. And it’s all thanks to a romantic priest named Valentine who died a Martyr for the love of God and the love of mankind.
A romantic start would be a Valentine greeting card. There are many circumstances that decide the type of Valentine card ranging from a simple business card, a card you actually make yourself, a store bought card or one that you have commissioned and personalised to make it exclusive.
Valentine flowers are wonderfully romantic and even more so when you add their meanings. The beautiful White Camellia means, ‘You’re Adorable’, the Pink Camellia means ‘I’m longing for you’, the beautiful Calla Lily means ‘Beauty’ and of course Red Roses mean ‘I Love You’.
Valentine’s day gifts abound and there are many to choose from. A favourite is heart shaped chocolates, a heart shaped picture frame, a fluffy animal, a book of love, a heart shaped locket. A Valentine’s day gift certificate, and if you’re well acquainted maybe lingerie.
A candlelight dinner makes a very romantic Valentine’s day gift. Soft lights, mood music and a romantic video. This is something you should prepare yourself, because you’ve taken the time this will show how much you care and will create a lasting Valentine’s day memory.
An alternative Valentine’s day occasion could be a night out dining and dancing or going to a special show. An unusual idea might be an helicopter ride with aerial photo’s to keep the memory or a drive around your area in a stretch limo with champagne and chocolates.
A Valentine’s day often includes a proposal of marriage. A popular proposal is on a billboard, placed obviously on a regular route. A dozen roses at breakfast, again at lunch, and again at dinner. Then arrive with a single rose and a heart shaped gift tag saying ‘Will You Marry Me?’ And of course the traditional down on one knee proposal with a beautiful ring.
A very memorable Valentine’s day is your wedding day. It has so much love and romance many couple choose February 14th to make their vows of love. Another special occasion is to have a baby born on Valentine’s day. It’s a wonderful miracle of valentines love and romance. Babies are often named Valentine or Valentino (Though the child may not always appreciate this).
Valentine’s day is nearly here, whatever you decide to give or do make sure to include a card with appropriate sentiment. Just to be sure here’s a last minute Valentine’s gift for you to use… ‘You’re heaven sent, and I’m content, our love was meant to be true… So, whenever I count my blessings, I always begin with you,’ Have a great Valentine’s Day.
