Unique and Romantic Gift Ideas
Being in love can be a lot like riding on a roller coaster with its ups and downs. That’s why some measure of romance is integral to the success of your relationship. To add a little oomph and maintain that spark of excitement, it is always a good idea to have your bag of tricks tucked away somewhere, ready to haul out when needed.
An empty drink bottle — just like that bottle of red wine you two shared the other evening — is a unique romantic gift waiting to happen, although you may see it as nothing more than garbage you need to set out on recycling day. If you can paint, even finger painting will do, then you can turn that bottle into a masterpiece ready to store happy memories for years to come. Once you’ve finished painting it, stick love notes inside and plug it up with red colored cork. Instant romantic gift a la Message in a Bottle.
Whenever you’re missed (which is likely to be a lot after handing this over) all your lover needs to do is take one of the notes from inside the bottle and drink in your love. The trick, of course, is to get at least 100 or more sweet and romantic notes in there so the bottle appears ready to burst.
The next time you and your honey are hungry, transform that meal into something that will grow and blossom into something wonderful with time. Serve up a plate of warm pasta and a nice red wine, but don’t forget the potted baby basil plant clad with a red ribbon or two. While you two share endearing meals together, the plant will grow, like your love, right before your eyes.
Ideas for unique romantic gifts abound, even among the commonplace and mundane. For example, readers develop special attachments to certain authors and love to acquire as many titles from that author as possible. Getting your lover a book from this author is easy. In order to transform this basic gift into a romantic gift worthy of praise for days and possibly years to come, you can go the extra mile to find an autographed copy.
Not possible or not enough time? No problem. Instead of nabbing an autographed copy of the book, fill the book with hidden treasures: Notes with a special message, pictures of special moments or places, and gift certificates for hugs and kisses.
The most important part of any gift you give, however, is your intentions — fill it with your love. Make it unmistakable that the gift is coming directly from your heart. True love works together and appreciated the kindness and thoughtfulness that goes into giving a gift.
