What gifts do they really want? Just like in the movie "What women want", most women want much more than flowers and chocolates, they want a connection. They want to feel a connection between the one they love and who loves them. It's all about love rather than things.
How do I give her what she wants? This is where most guys get lost. It's not about the actual gift at all. No, it's not about how much money you spend or what card you buy, it's more about what you give of yourself. It's the effort you put into the gift that counts. Anyone can buy a bunch of flowers but not everyone will know her favorite song or her favorite place or color.
Use what you know about your Valentine to create a gift that includes one or more of her favorite things Go to her favorite place and spend the day, make her favorite drink for her or her favorite meal. Things that relate to the person receiving the gift are a lot more appreciated.
What if we have kids and it's so hard to get time together? Sometimes the best gift is time. If you are rushing around with a family perhaps the best gift you can give your partner is some time to herself I'm sure she would love some quiet time with you but if she's run ragged how can she enjoy the time you have?
Here are some Valentine's Day ideas that will be sure to please and are vertically no cost gifts
Take the kids out for the afternoon and banish her to the bathroom. See that she has lots of candles and her favorite book and time to luxuriate in peace and quite. When you return she will be more energized and I'm sure you can think of something to do when the kids are in bed.
Buy a card or better yet, make a card (doesn't have to be a masterpiece) and write at least 10 reasons why you love your Valentine. If you're not good at writing, go to the library and copy out a poem. She'll love that you have gone to so much trouble.
Whatever you do, make sure your Valentine understands how much they mean to you and you will both have a great day in addition to enhancing your relationship.
Enjoy!
Cheers Gaynor
