Valentine's Day/Romantic Ideas?

[makbike]

How about a helium balloon for each year you have been together. Attach a brief note to each one explaining why you love him so and to the final balloon a long love letter.

Or, how about a trail of Hersey Kisses from the door he typicaly enters when he arrives home to a distant room in your house where you have set up a nice picnic dinner or pitched a tent for some fun time indoors if the weather is not cooperating.

Or how about recreating your first date - return to the spot you met and do the date all over again and have fun!

All I want for Valentine's is to see my honey. She's flying up here for a long weekend. Sigh.

Long-distance is tough. You want to buy them gifts, but frankly the money is better spent on airline tickets!

Eden is right. The Benny Bear thing is totally disgusting.

One year I wrote Mr. Salsa a card with all the things about him that make me still think he's the coolest guy I know. (sorry about that sentence structure, but you get the idea)

I've been married 16 years ,and for Valentines day we make a special dinner ,light candles ,and drink Champagne. My husband treats me like I'm his girlfriend ,he met for the first time (everyday). We don't take each other for granted. Usually we just get each other cards.

DH and I have been married for 18 years, together for 23. We give each other kisses and say I love you a lot....like every time we are saying good bye or hello. And we hug a lot, and sometimes dance for no reason to no music...and neither of us is any good at it. When we walk together (except for the morning commute, we're going for speed then) we hold hands. We talk a lot - about everything. We're not particularly romantic, but we are best friends and no that our love is not separable from either of us. Soul mates. But we're still practical.

If I think of any idea that's half as cool a romantic evening gesture as I've already seen posted, I'll add it. And I'll keep watching for the very best thing to give my honey on Valentine's day.....

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

I'm not married but we live together one year and we are in a relationship over 5.
here are the some gift I made for him
- 1000 origami birds (it is believed that that number of origami birds bring luck) and I wrote lovely notes on 50 of them and decorated our room with them
- I made white harts and glued a little red one in the middle of them and I decorated our walls with it. The whole house was filled with harts
- once I baked 15 pancakes (we make them very thin) and with knife I made them look like hart. In between I put chocolade so it was chocolate hartlike pancake pastry... unique, just like him

And he made me one sculpture from bike weel. Inside it was filled with styrofoam and painted pink. He cut with scissors some letters and one hart from a bike tire (not inner part!). It is written inside... Ivana I love you with a little hart
Now it hangs in our bedroom to remind me how much effort he made just to make me happy
