From the heart
Smile please
If you are weary of the same old greeting cards and the same old flowers, you can compile your Kodak moments - snapshots and memories frozen in time - on a calendar. This desktop or wall-hanging memoir of your togetherness is sure to preserve your love for the year in photographic print.

An enchanted love message bottle with a miniature treasure chest filled with seashells says it all. You can get the legend of enchanted love engraved right onto the chest box itself. You can accessorize/enhance the box and message bottle with a scroll, some rose petals, keepsake key and more.
Wear a chef's hat
Be a chef to your beloved and cook her or his favourite cuisine. You could either surprise her with your cooking prowess or do it over long chat sessions.
Eat out
Pack a picnic basket, carry a mat to sit on and if possible a parasol to shade you both, and head to the nearest park with the object of your affection. Pack his/ her favourite food and carry a Frisbee or board game, depending on what you prefer.
Be a masseur
Pamper your loved one at home. If you are willing, roll up your sleeves and be the masseur. An alternate option is to prepare a hot bath with scented oils which he or she may soak in while the flickering yellow light of several candles and soft music creates an atmosphere of tranquility.
