Not... A card
Instead... An e-mail
Of course, there's nothing wrong with Hallmark's finest. You can go funny or romantic, short or long, the $2.99 version or the $6.99 monster card. But really. Your bed-buddy basically knows the gist of what's inside -- some variation of the words "you," "love," and "special." Instead, here's what you do. The night of Feb. 13, fire off an e-mail to your beloved so it's the first thing she opens on the 14th. Try, say, a top 10 list of reasons why you love her. Numbers 10, 7, 5, and 3 are insanely specific and funny habits that only she has. Numbers 9 and 2 are wonderfully earnest big-picture ideas about how (beautiful/smart/compassionate) she is. Number 8 quotes a lyric from her favorite song. Numbers 6 and 4 refer in some way to her amazing bedroom talents. And number 1, well, it better be good.
Not... Roses
Instead... An orchid
She's expecting roses. Red ones. Perhaps she's expecting that you're expecting something in return because you bought red roses. Men know the power of the curveball (to catch the hitter off guard), so start throwing them, would ya? By buying some kind of flower that won't wilt in a week, like an orchid, you're tapping into her symbolic side. When she sees a lasting flower, she sees a lasting relationship. That's much sexier than the clichéd box of a dozen reds. And orchids have kind of an exotic sexual appeal--they're the plant world's passion pits. So dive in.
Not... Restaurants
Instead... Finger foods
I'm all for candlelit dinners, nice bottles of wine, and festive restaurant atmospheres. But V-Day at restaurants is like Fridays at 5 o'clock at the airport -- there's way too much traffic out there. That means you have about as much chance for privacy as a topless starlet frolicking in a fountain during the Cannes Film festival. You could make dinner at home, but instead, order in finger foods -- sushi, egg rolls, chocolate-dipped fruits. Do it right, and you'll be using your hands to feed each other and wipe smudges of chocolate off each other's lips. Which makes for a nice natural transition to other things you can do with your hands, mouths, and bodies.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!
I'm doing the same thing. : }
Keep up the good work.
Basically what I'm doing is that I'm giving him a memory box with some stuff I put together for him. I also made him a really nice card with a heartfelt poem that I wrote. I made him a poem book with pictures I have taken as well. : } I'm doing all this stuff because Valentine's is our first anniversary. â¥
There's a website that has a lot of GREAT, SWEET, PRICELESS ideas. Go to lovingyou dot com. Go into the romantic ideas section. I would give you the direct link, but Yahoo is messing up again and won't let me.

OH and your love :-)
