Give your loved one a present that's a little more creative than the same old candy and flowers, and pump up the volume in your love life. With some items from around the house and a few hours of preparation, you can create a simple, romantic gift that expresses how you really feel about your significant other.
Silk Pajamas
If your loved one always wears the same boxers and T-shirt to bed, pamper him with silk pajamas, recommends a Marie Claire online article. Not only will the luxurious pajamas feel smooth on his skin, but they'll feel sensual on yours, too. Best of all, giving your mate a gift to wear in bed may invigorate your sex life.
Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
For a gift that you can make for your loved one anytime, make quick and easy chocolate-covered strawberries, says Real Simple. Heat a chocolate bar in a pan over the stove on low heat until the chocolate melts. Then, carefully dip a few fresh strawberries in the chocolate. Allow the strawberries to cool until the chocolate hardens, and present the quick and simple gift to your partner. Although the chocolate-covered strawberries only take a few minutes to make, your mate will be thanking you for hours.
Dance Lessons
In an Ask Men article, product review correspondent Peter Richmond recommends dance lessons as a simple, romantic gift to give your adoring partner. Choose a romantic style of dance, like tango, salsa or swing, so you and your partner are in close physical contact with one another while dancing. If your dancing lessons are a success, take your skills to a real dance floor and enjoy your romantic and exciting new hobby.
Personalized Candy Hearts
If regular candy hearts seem too generic, Real Simple recommends creating your own personalized hearts. Using a cheese grater, carefully rub away the messages on a handful of store-bought candy hearts. When you have completely removed the letters, use a food-coloring marker to write your own messages. You can purchase food-coloring markers online or at specialty cooking and baking stores. Allow the personalized hearts to dry, and then place them around the house for your mate to find them.
