Tired of giving the same gifts for Valentine's Day? Is the box of chocolates not looking sweet enough? Are the dozen red roses just not cutting it anymore?
Here is a list of not-so-traditional gifts that you can give to a loved one to express how you feel this Valentine's Day -- without looking like Hallmark Hal.
Surprise your love by planning a fun trip! Arrange everything including dinner reservations, the itenerary, packing your partner's bags and asking his or her boss for them to get a day off.
Buy a silver ring with a personalized inscription.
Buy a stuffed animal and sew a box between its paws with a ring or small gift in it.
Arrange for an afternoon at the links! If you two would enjoy a round of golf, reserve a tee time and swing until your hearts' content!
Rent a hot-air balloon ride for you and your beloved.
Order or make a large cookie and send it to a friend or family member in college so they can share with friends.
Take scuba-diving lessons together and plan a trip to Hawaii or another beach area where you can show off your new skill.
Buy a basket, a bucket or any other large container and fill it with items that make a theme. Coffee lovers could snuggle up to a selection of hot chocolate, coffees and a new mug. Sports fans would enjoy sports memorabilia and a subscription to a sports magazine. A basket with candles, lingerie, massage oils and a bottle of wine surely will help start the night off in the right direction.
Arrange to have a portrait of you and your significant other taken at a photo studio.
Give them a rose for every month you have been together.
For lovers of vino, buy a bottle of wine for different occasions throughout the next year. Label them for the occasions. Examples are, "for your birthday," "for our anniversary," and "for New Year's Eve."
Decorate your beloved's front door or walkway with flowers and balloons to surprise them when they leave the house that day.
Recreate your first date together by taking your significant other to the same places you went to that day.
