Romantic Ideas for a Special Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and this year you want to make sure it is memorable.

The usual box of chocolates, the usual tie or a bouquet of flowers have had their day. In many ways even giving an engagement ring on this special day is a bit of an old-fashioned idea. However, cuddles and tenderness never go out of fashion. Whether it's between a man and a woman, two women, two men, and past couples...it doesn't matter. Valentine's Day should be celebrated, because it is wonderful to hear your beloved say, "You are the only person who matters, to me!"

It doesn't matter if this is your first Valentine's Day together or your 20th; it is the one day a year reserved for couples. It gives us a chance to slow down the pace of the daily routine and focus our attention on the one person with whom we have built, or hope to build, a life together.

The origin of Valentine's Day is steeped in mystery, but legend has it that Valentine was a young Roman who was not converted to Christianity but, alas, fell in love with a Christian maiden during the time of Diocletian's persecutions. The maiden had been captured with other followers and thrown into prison, awaiting torture. Valentine did not yet have the courage to convert and accompany his beloved to the gallows ... but he loved her so much, ... and did everything he could to save her. It seems that he tried to bribe noble patricians to lilberate her in vain.

And that he even accepted a rocky escape. Unfortunately, he did not succeed and had to resign himself to seeing his beloved fed to lions.

However, he never left her alone. He succeeded in bribing two guards and sending her pieces of parchment every day, in which he confirmed his love for her in writing and tried to support her at that bad time.

In short, they were the first love notes in history, an idea so romantic that it entered legend and then tradition.

Valentine later converted to Christianity, became a bishop and was even made a saint...But that, well, is beyond the scope of this e-book project. and did everything he could to save her. It seems that he tried to bribe noble patricians to lilberate her in vain.

It was, however, kept by his jailer, who found the thought so poignant and delicate that he later used it with his women. The thing merged and the rest is history. Today is Valentine's Day with a heap of romance, some decidedly melancholy, some peculiar. Between sweet teddy bears and perfume bottles, love seeks every way to express itself and to shout its happiness to the world. To be in love, probably reciprocated, is one of the things that brings the most pleasure in the world. Celebrating Valentine's Day is a way to open our hearts and confess our deepest emotions to our loved one.

Far from being 'a serious manual', this book is just a small guide to stimulate your imagination, help you open your heart and look for the most representative way to pamper your loved one. We should do this every day of our lives, it is true. But sometimes anniversaries have something magical about them, and they can force us to reveal the most tender and hidden part of us.

Hidden behind the 'everyone celebrates it' even the most bearish man and the most shrewish woman will manage to find a way to the heart of their beloved.

What follows are small insights that you can make your own, reshape to suit your emotions or even throw in the trash. Whatever you do to manifest your love, it is never time wasted. Remember.

From classic and traditional ideas that will always win the hearts of those in love, to unusual and creative ideas that will ignite a spark in your relationship, here is everything you need to celebrate your love, and make Valentine's Day a Special Event.

A Romantic Beginning

One of the most traditional and classic ways to have a special Valentine's Day is to start the day off right. If you are lucky enough to be sleeping with your loved one, it will make them happy if when they open their eyes they will find a sumptuous breakfast tray in front of them...along with a romantic little gift that will add even more emphasis to your gesture of love. Starting the day with a joyful heart is already a beautiful gift in itself, don't you agree?

Even if you both have a lot of commitments and a grueling working day ahead of you, try to find time, at least on this day, to have breakfast together... and bed. Especially dedicated to those who would never, ever get up an hour earlier to make coffee. Let alone prepare a tray worthy of a king's breakfast! The amazement that will be drawn on your love's face will reward you for the effort... and give your Ego a big hand.

Alternatively, and if you just can't reconcile the schedule, think about a nice dinner in bed, rather than breakfast. The effect will be the same, perhaps even slightly amplified, because by the end of the evening your love will perhaps have given up on the idea of festivities, and this surprise is not really expected. Soft lighting and music in the background will ignite passion as well as appetite. Don't give up adding a flower, a book, a CD.

In short, something that will show the real and constant thought you have had for your loved one throughout the day.

Please do NOT wear your usual vests with tank tops (dedicated to HIM) or pyjamas with slippers (dedicated to HER)! Indulge in pleasure. Comfortable, for goodness sake, but...better naked than badly coiffed.

A nice touch would be a nice scented candle, fragrant sheets and lowered curtains. Can you enjoy a nice outdoor landscape from where your bed is? Enhance it. Above all, turn off mobile phones, TVs and intercoms. It's a romantic dinner, not a condo meeting.

Leaving aside aphrodisiac food, which most of the time is not, you prefer to fill your plates with what your love likes best, without forgetting yourself: what sense would there be in letting her (or him) eat alone while you stand by and watch? And there is no need to binge. A well-prepared quick spaghetti, a heart-shaped cake, or some quick snacks, washed down with bubbles or fruit juice, if you are a teetotaler, will do the job and leave you satisfied.

You can't cook? For goodness sake, don't buy ready-made food! Just prepare a nice fruit salad (you know how to clean fruit, don't you?) garnished with two fingers of cream and a few sugared almonds, and you're done. Better a little but prepared with the heart, than a lot but bought at the diner below. Trust me.

Want to make it 'even weirder'? Well, set up the room with a themed scenario. Doctor and patient are always great, Minnie and Mickey much less so. But if you sharpen your wits, you might just find the winning combination.

Easier? Set up a picnic...on the floor. Load your basket with delicacies and don't forget a nice bottle of chilled wine or sparkling wine. If you get one of those indoor spotlights that project a sky of stars on the ceiling, that would be the best, don't you think?

In short, a good start at breakfast could end even better at dinner. Think about it.

PSSS... Don't forget a little note full of romantic words.

It's the master touch!

The Music of the Heart

Music plays a significant role in any romantic situation, and what better way to show your love than by creating a compilation CD for your loved one with all the songs she likes, or that have marked special moments in your life?

Thanks to technology, you could add a special dedication at the beginning of the CD, or insert a romantic thought between tracks, to keep your loved one's attention and show them even more how much you cared for them. Please, no pens to save money and get more stuff in. I'm talking about a CD, one of those tender, perhaps obsolete instruments that have the advantage of having a beautiful cover, taken from a photo of you together or something extremely personal that binds you together forever.

On the cover always add your name and his name, like drawing a heart with your initials on the trunk of a tree. Insert the date of the anniversary... and a few other little things important to the two of you.

You could also add to the CD a film with photos of you, or of your children, if you have any. Add a little extra thought to the package, something small, a pendant, a key chain with your initials, and you're done. A package as red as love will make the thought even more beautiful.

And then what? Well, how about locking yourselves in your room, turning off the lights, booting up the CD and starting the festivities?

Alternatively, you can do it in the car. Wherever it is, listening to your favorite music together and being able to hold it in your hands is a magical, wonderful and impactful experience. And it's cheap.

A sea of cuddles

One of the most memorable Valentine's Days I can remember was characterized by a simple, inexpensive... but magical thought. I came home and my beloved had prepared a nice warm bath for me, complete with a round of candles by the tub, and a sea of scented foam. I had not expected this, and I was so tired that I really enjoyed it. I soaked in the warm water and my he took to giving me a relaxing massage on my temples. Then he poured me a glass of bubbly and we toasted to our love. And finally. Well, do I really have to tell you everything? It will be my business what happened next, won't it?

This is to tell you that there is no need for drum-rolls and red carpets to make your loved one happy. All it takes is two small things, letting the heart speak for itself. To say that it is the thought that counts is reductive. It is that kind of thinking that makes the difference. Knowing that, despite the fatigue of the day, the problems, the children, your love has thought of you and worked hard to make
