Valentine’s Day Ideas that Women can Give to Men

Ladies, can you imagine that Valentine’s Day is approaching soon? Sure, you may already know who will be your Valentine this year, but you may also be anxious about what he will come up with this time. You also know what he wants for his Valentine because you just know, right? So, let’s overlook this part.

Some women don’t like surprises, but most of us do. He might take you to a fine restaurant first or skip that and cook dinner for you; after which you will unwrap the gift he gave you, but don’t have too much of a high expectation. 25% of men would rather have a root canal than come up with new ideas because their creative juice is not like yours, admit it! So you may have to give him some hints to make this Valentine’s Day more memorable than the last.

The Same Gift

You may still have boxes of uneaten chocolate at home from the years before. By now, you probably have seen him bring you flowers and lingerie, which most women don’t mind. However, let’s face it: it is not easy to come up with something new every time. In addition to the pressure of finding the right gift, there is added stress in buying something meaningful. The National Confectioners Association indicated that in 2009, there were approximately 8 billion candy hearts made. However, those days of candy hearts are on their way out, believe it or not.

Valentine Day has been modernized and men know that they have to ‘up the anty,’ and put some more thought into it. This doesn't make it any easier for them. Don’t be alarmed. You know what you want and will be able to give him the shove he needs to go in the right direction.

Interesting Ideas

If you are like most women, you love romance, which means that your man will have to begin to bring out his romantic side. Here are some ideas:

Re-enacting your first date: Most women remember every detail of their very first date and most men have some recollection, but not much. So before February 14^th, when you both are sitting at home or around a restaurant dining table, remind him of how special you felt about that date. Give him details of what made it so special for you. Let him know how important it would be if you could turn the clock back to spark the romance flare by revisiting that same place in time.

Bring out his physical side: Most men love the outdoors and anything physical. If he loves skiing, suggest going on a ski trip; whether locally or out of state, if you can afford it. Gliding on the ice rink together is another option. It can be fun and the closeness will allow you to listen to his heart beating for you and create a loving mood for more romantic and physical stuff later. 

Take a couple’s massage: Massage is something that a lot of couples might be neglecting, but it is one of the most relaxing, pampering and sensual activities that you could suggest for Valentine’s Day. By the time you are both done with all the oils and lotions permeating your sensitive side, you will be ready for the bedroom.

Change the bedroom scene: Rent a hotel room or check into a bed and breakfast nearby. The change of scene will instantly enhance your love life. Just the idea of being alone without all the distractions of home is recipe for a wild night. You can even add role playing to the mix.

Skip the movie or watch the right romantic movie: Many film makers create movies every year to meet the romantic crowd, but be careful what movie you watch on that specific night. Some movies can spark strong opinions and you don’t want to spoil your night with an argument. In 2010, the romantic comedy, “Valentine’s Day,” raked in a whopping $52.4 million, but critics felt that the film, racked with romance, infidelity and divorce caused 40% of the couples that watched it to see a divorce lawyer by mid-February.

Get dolled up: Most women love the chance to dress up and feel special. Even if he has not reserved seating in a posh restaurant, put on one of your finest pieces and make sure he dresses in a suit. Step out into the night with a bit of mystery. You will be surprised where you end up.

Be forthright and take charge of the planning to arrange for a pleasant and romantic Valentine’s Day. Don’t feel bad about doing so. Nine times out of ten, you will do a better job at it than your man. If you don’t, you may end up regretting it and being mad at him for not trying hard enough. 

You could buy a romance novel for him or her and discuss the story. You would be surprised the interesting conversation that you can have. CLICK HERE
