Feel like your brain is frying trying to come up with creative Valentine ideas? Yeah, we know exactly how you must be feeling!
It seems like the more you're thinking about those romantic
Valentines Day ideas, the more elusive they seem and emptier
your head feels.
This is even more the case if you are one of those practical,
straightforward guys with nary a romantic bone in your body.
But don't despair if you don't know what to do for her!
We are here to help you with that and just deciding that you
want to do something is a big step.
You know why?
Because you have the element of surprise on your side!
The Surprise Will Do Most of the Work for
You!
You see, the element of surprise is a big bonus for you,
because if romanticism is as foreign to you as all the small
islands off the southern coast of Finland, then she will
probably not expect you to do anything.
You see, one point for you already!
You will find that caring enough to plan some Valentines Day
projects for her on this happy Valentine Day will please her in
itself. Most women will be thrilled just to have a surprise, any
surprise, from their sweet Valentine.
So the fact that you're paying her attention and doing your
best has already taken you far, far up the popularity ladder.
It's very simple really: women just want to know that they're
worth going the extra mile for. Then for most women, whatever
they may encounter on that mile means less than the content of
that that mile in itself, if you get my drift 🙂
However, your woman could also be quite choosy and quality
orientated – especially if you've managed to really spoil her on
other Valentines Days – and then of course you are risking that
the Valentine ideas you planned are not "up to snuff" in her
mind.
However, it's a risk that you will have to take as
Valentine's Day is the time for romance and crazy acts of love
that only come around at Christmas time.
Few other holidays are as romantic as Valentine's Day, so
your best Valentines ideas should be enough to show your better
half just how much she means to you.
Romantic Ideas for a Memorable Valentines Day
Help! My Head is Echoingly Empty of Creative
Ideas
If you can't come up with any crazily romantic Valentine
ideas, never fear, Super Romantic Valentine Action Man is here
to give you some Valentines Day ideas of great ways to spend her
special day.
There are five basic components to any Valentine's Day, and
all of the Valentine ideas that you can come up with will
revolve around these five components each of which we will deal
with in depth in this article on Valentines Day ideas:
- 1) The Valentine surprise
- 2) The Valentine date
- 3) The Valentine gift
- 4) The Valentine meal
- 5) The Valentines movies
1) The Sweet Valentine Surprise
As already mentioned one of the most important aspects of
Valentine's Day is the surprise. The surprise is what
makes the whole thing so special for your woman.
If you take the time to prepare something special and
romantic, your sensitive woman is very likely to pick up a
change in your energy and focus and might 'smell' that something
funny is up and want to know what it is.
So you may have to do some sneaking around, and the challenge
will then be to prevent her from picking up the sweet scent of
that upcoming Valentine's Day.
So you may have to use the working late excuse (and in some
respect that wouldn't be a lie, would it, you are in fact
working hard on your Valentine Ideas!), and you may have to
forgo some of your personal time in order to set up the surprise
properly.
She may then get suspicious about your furtive activities if
she notices that you are spending a lot of time working late and
out of the house. So try and get an extra hour or two during the
day when you can prepare her Valentine surprise while she is at
work.
The surprise is really one of the things that most women look
forward to the most, as many women love to feel surprised by her
boyfriend or husband and his romantic gestures.
This surprise in itself is the easy part!
Getting the surprise right might be a lot more work!
However, rest assured that your Valentines Day ideas will be
well worth all the effort when you see the look on her face as
you surprise her with that giant bouquet, the gift basket, the
fancy dinner, or whatever else you have planned.
2) Creative Ideas for the Date
As 50% or more of the happy Valentine Day is about the
surprise, it might not suffice to go to the same restaurant
where you have been going for the last months or years. Sorry,
buddy, it's time for some creative thinking!
All depending on your kind of girl you may need to find a
classy or elegant restaurant or an exotic and culturally
interesting place where you can really spoil her.
Also remember, you will not be the only one who wants to take
his sweetheart out on Valentines. So you will probably need to
reserve a few weeks or months in advance, as it is very likely
that the restaurant will be fully booked by the time Valentine's
Day mercilessly rolls around.
If you aren't the kind of guy who likes going to fancy
restaurants and don't know which kind of fork goes with what
dish, you may want to consider one of the Valentine's date
alternatives for your significant other on this romantic
holiday:
Get Her a Wellness Massage
Many women put a lot of heavy weight on their shoulders;
working, cleaning the house, grocery shopping, taking care of
the kids, cooking dinner etc. Yes, you know this – she probably
told you this a hundred times already, right!
Anyway, probably what your woman really needs is just to get
a time to relax. And spoiling her by giving her an opportunity
to chill on this romantic holiday might just be the right thing.
So rather than falling asleep in front of the TV with her,
you will find that treating her to a relaxing massage may be
exactly what she needs to unwind at the end of a long week of
work.
Read Her Some Romantic Valentine Poetry
No, seriously dude, being sensitive and emotionally open for
an evening doesn't make you less of a man.
Quite the opposite in fact! Women just love the tough guy, sweet
talking combo.
So if your girl is like many others, romantic stories and
poetry are sure to be a big hit with her.
You can either spend some time rummaging around your bookstore
to find a romantic book of goodness to share with her or you can
scroll through our selections of
love poems,
love quotes and
free Valentine cards many of which have cute Valentine
poetry written on them.
Bake … or Perhaps Just Arrange … a Special Dessert
Men with absolutely no cooking skills can impress their women
with how well they can prepare a special dessert as a surprise.
You see, you can buy all sorts of delicious desserts in the
shops nowadays and all you really need to do is just to arrange
them nicely on a plate or in a bowl and perhaps add a little
flower or a heart and THAT'S IT!
Really, delicious doesn't necessarily mean complicated and
hard Valentines Day projects!
However, if you feel bold or actually spend, you know, "real"
time in the kitchen other than just going your usual shuttle
between the fridge and the TV, a complex flaming dessert can
also be fun and impressive.
AND you may find that things get as heated as the cake if you
play your cards right. 😉
Serve Her Breakfast in Bed
Hardworking mothers and women will find that nothing is more
desirable than an extra hour or two of sleep. Yes, women can
actually be that simple, too! 🙂
If you can tell her that you are getting up for a morning
run, or need to finish some work before meeting at the office,
you will find yourself with a few extra minutes with which to
prepare a delicious breakfast to surprise her in bed.
Hit the Bowling Alley
Beware of these kinds of Valentine ideas!
The bowling alley is a tricky one and you need to know your
woman really well if you choose to take her to there.
You see, many women don't consider the bowling alley
particularly romantic. It's rather a place where guys go, hang
out and drink beer or a place you go to with other couples on a
couples' night.
However, if you judge your girlfriend right – for instance if
she's into sports – it can be a complete win. If you judge
wrong, you will be added to your girlfriend's jokes about
miserable boyfriend failures. To her, taking her to the bowling
alley might be like asking her to sit next to you while you
drink beer and play a computer game.
But is your girlfriend a fresh, sporty tomboyish girl you may
find that sharing this fun sport can be a great way for you two
to celebrate your love for each other.
Take a Moonlight Drive in the Country
Despite being the setting for many horror and alien films,
you will find that a romantic moonlight drive out into the
country can be a great example of Valentines Day projects.
It's a way for you two to enjoy some time (quite literally)
alone.
Bring some champagne, lush red strawberries and dark
delicious chocolate cake and find a nice spot to sit where you
can lean back and look at the sunset followed by the stars.
You can be sure she will remember this evening forever!
Enjoy a Weekend Getaway
Women love the idea of doing something special with their
men, especially in places that they have never been before (and
no, this is not a sexual hint ;-).
Consider booking a luxury resort or bed and breakfast a few
hours away from your city to enjoy a romantic weekend away from
it all.
These are just a few ideas that you can kick around, but you
would do well to tailor your ideas according to your woman and
her preferences. Don't worry if it doesn't seems like something
she will enjoy as much as you want her to; you may find that the
real pleasure comes from the fact that you took the time to
think of something special to do for her.
3) Perfect Gifts That Don't Cost a Fortune
Everyone knows that most romantic Valentine ideas revolve
around a giant mound of chocolate, both heart shaped and
otherwise. You may find that your girlfriend or wife will love
the gift basket of chocolates that you send her, but you may
also find that she has had quite enough of chocolate over the
years.
Rather than sending her the same gift every year, why not
consider sending her something special this year? And something
that your wallet will be appreciative of at the same time.
Well-Chosen Flowers
If your wife or girlfriend loves a specific type of flowers,
you will find that sending her this gift will often be a much
better choice than any gift basket.
Why?
Because women love the fact that you know something special
about them that only very few other people know. Even if it is
just the preferred color of the roses or the lilies.
If you can't afford a giant bouquet, a few well-selected
roses will often do trick too. And you may impress her by
actually knowing the symbolic meaning of the different colors to
the roses. Go this page of
Valentines cards if you want to know about
roses and their color symbolism.
The Gift of Time
Many busy men find it difficult to spend as much time with
their women as their women would ideally desire. But on this day
you can give her the gift of time.
One of the best ideas for Valentine is to just get away. Get
away from the city and spend time with each other, alone, away
from the kids, doing something you both love.
Sweet Hidden Valentine Messages
Rather than spending a fortune on sending her roses or
chocolates, why not leave little messages that she can find
during the day.
You can leave one on her steering wheel, on her computer, on
her pillow, in the shower, at her office, with the doorman, at
her gym, and anywhere else that she is sure to pass.
If you are at a loss as to what to write, you can go this
page of
Free Printable Valentine Cards, find your favorite 10 cards,
print them out and voila!
Now you just have to come up with the places to leave them.
Special Homemade Valentine Love Coupons
Despite what people say about gift coupons, you may find that
these special notes can actually be a lot of fun when you make
them yourself.
You can use things like "1 free afternoon without the kids",
"1 cooked meal", "1 erotic massage by your man", and "1 (spicy
sexual activity of your choice)".
You can use the Valentine idea from above and hide these
special homemade Valentine love coupons in the places where your
woman is likely to see them after she wakes up in the morning.

Poetry That Relates to the Two of You
Most men are completely unromantic, and they scoff at the
romantic poetry of Burns and Keats.
However, you may find that this is exactly what will make her
day on this Valentine's Day, so try your hand at romantic poetry
in order to show her just how much you love her.
And if you want to really impress her: Find aspects in the
poetry that somehow relates to something about you two:
something you've done, experienced or seen together.
These are some unique gifts non-expensive gifts, and you may
find that just these few creative ideas can lead to a whole
bunch more if you actually spend time thinking about it.
4) The Valentine Meal
The meal that you two share together will be an important
part of your Valentine's Day experience, and there are many ways
to make a meal much more special or romantic:
Take Her Back
Take her to the restaurant where you had your first date,
where you proposed, where she told you she was pregnant, or
where any other momentous occasion happened.
Cook at Home
If she is a working mother, you may find that a home-cooked
meal by you will be far more enjoyable than having to get
dressed up and go out to a fancy place (just make sure you know
how to cook!).
Go out in Style
Many women love to dine in style, and you may find that
taking her to a fancy restaurant is exactly what you need to
enjoy your romantic evening together.
Keep it Small
Some of the most romantic places that you can find will be
small sidewalk cafes or restaurants, and you may find that a
small place with a cozy atmosphere is exactly what you need to
celebrate this holiday with the true spirit of romance.
Dine in Candlelight
One unique idea is to rent a party hall all for yourselves,
though you should rent a small one. Have a single table set up,
and light the room entirely with candles. Hire a musician and a
catering service, and enjoy dining alone in a beautifully
illuminated hall.
Remember, the thought is really what counts, and you will
find that you are much more likely to succeed if you actually go
out of your way to plan something special.
5) The Valentines Movies
The romantic movie is for those who are just too tired to go
out on Valentine's Day, but don't despair.
You may find that there is nothing like a good romantic movie
to save your date:
P.S. I Love You
This is by far one of the most romantic movies that you can
see, but don't expect her to be dry eyed by the time it's over
and don't expect her not to be distracted by the rugged good
looks of Gerard Butler.
Love Actually
While this is more of a Christmas movie, you will find that
there are very few romantic comedies that can compare with this
one. If you can get past the Christmas theme, it is guaranteed
to melt her heart.
The Notebook
Love for the ages always warms the heart and sets the
passions ablaze, and the Notebook is one such movie. You may
find that you, as a male, may not enjoy it as much as she does,
but it is well worth sitting through it.
Moulin Rouge
Sad love stories are always tear-jerkers, but you will find
that she will be reminded of how strong your love for each other
is through the beautiful songs and sad melodies of this uniquely
unforgettable movie.
Music and Lyrics
This lighthearted comedy may end up being more fun than
romantic, but the smooth voice and undulating hips of the
magnificent Hugh Grant is guaranteed to make her laugh and warm
her heart.
These movies are only some of the best that you can find, and
it is well worth investigating to find out what other romantic
classics she enjoys.
