Romantic Gift Idea For A Man

by painterlady

Romantic Gift Idea For MenBefore you click away because you see a sports car… the romantic gift idea for a man isn’t buying him a sports car…. altho he would probably disagree.

The idea is to rent one!

Almost every city and town has a car rental agency that rents a convertible sports car. Try to get one thats red!

Go out a buy him a driving cap… you know… one of those caps with the snap down bill.

While your out shopping get yourself a long white silky scarf and a pair of movie star sunglasses. These will add to the mood and the drama.

Of course… you will need to pack up a picnic basket and another goodies bag which we will get into a bit later.

The picnic basket or….

The Way To A Mans Heart Is Through His Stomach!

Pack it up with all things he likes. If he likes wine… well there you go. But, if he loves his beer, then don’t try to push wine on him. That is not a romantic idea. Pack in some nice food type goodies. Cheese, fruit and crackers are some of the favorites… but you can think outside of the box… and if he just loves tuna on rye… well pack that instead.

The trick to creating a gift for him… is to include all things he loves.

Now on the the other goodies bag.

This is entirely up to you… but you need to do some brainstorming and planning. You see… renting a car means you need to be going somewhere. Is it a trip to the beach for a romantic picnic? A trip to the mountains and a walk through the woods? Maybe you are just going to drive over the the next town for a candle light dinner.

Take a few moments to think…. what kind of things do you need to pack.

  • Jackets
  • Blankets
  • Towels
  • Massage Oil…. I’m just saying….

I don’t think I need to go into every possible scenario … but this type of gift takes a bit of planning.

Before you start thinking that this isn’t a good gift idea… stop and think again. I did something similar for my husband a few years ago… of course we have pictures of the event. He still has a picture of that day on his desk. I know he was touched and we created memories that only the two of us can share.

Of course you will still need to give him a small gift to go along with this one. I mean… really… MEN… they do need their toys. So what new toy does your guy want? How about a GPS for the trip?

So… your task for today… is to start planning. What Romantic Gift Idea For A Man do you have?

Be My Valentine | Valetine Card Shopping

by painterlady

valentine cardsBe my valentine? Do you need a special day to celebrate it? Why get excited about that?

Valentine’s Day is for lovers. But love comes in all forms. A husband may love his wife. A daughter may love her mother. A young boy may adore his grandfather. Valentine’s Day is for all these relationships and many more. Wouldn’t you agree that you have many in your life that you would like to express the ” Be My Valentine ” vibe to?

Love just fills us with joy and makes life worth living. It just – Hmmmm… maybe there’s something to this Be My Valentine Idea after all.

Feeling love is one thing. Expressing it is another. Having one day out of the year to celebrate the glory that only love provides makes February 14th a unique holiday. Naturally, we could argue that it should be celebrated every day. And, in some ways, maybe we do. But picking one day focuses attention on that special event.

Express that by selecting just the right
Valentine’s Day card.

Find one that says exactly HOW you love that special someone. And, if it doesn’t, express it yourself either by making a card or writing some heartfelt comments in one you find. 

Now, like love itself does, go beyond that small step.

Give a gift that also shows how much you care.

Sure, love is spiritual and it’s the emotions that count most. But how better to express those feelings than to put them into material form?

That material form can range over thousands of options.

  • Hire a maid for Mom for the day.
  • Have someone clean Dad’s car.
  • Call in a freelance chef to make a special dinner for the two of you on the evening of February 14th.
  • Schedule a short cruise on a romantic trip to an island and back.
  • Jump out of an airplane (with parachutes, of course), or float above the clouds in a hot air balloon.
  • Buy some flowers and Chocolate , then shower that special someone with other things that remind you both of Valentine’s Day and its meaning.
  • Now give the best gift of all: time.
    • Spend time together on Valentine’s Day. Set aside the cares and plans that occupy you the rest of the year. Today, only one thing counts: being together. Say what you really mean. Mean what you say. Tell that person that life is better because that special someone is in your life.

If love is special, If you really want someone to Be Your Valentine – then celebrate Valentine’s Day to the fullest. Celebrate your way, with that unique person who shows you why love is everything.
