What gift has meant alot to you that were given by a romantic interest? Why was the gift meaningful?

I'm trying to think about a gift for valentines day for a very close friend. I don't want a humdrum gift like flowers or chocolates nor do I want to get something trashy. Ideas anyone?

What gift has meant alot to you that were given by a romantic interest? Why was the gift meaningful?
(-: Sometimes humdrum makes a lot of sense. My favorite gift from my husband is potted mini-roses. They last a long time, and I love flowers. And every time he surprises me with one, I flash back on the other mini-roses he's given me over the years. It packs quite a punch by now!





It really depends on the tastes of your friend. Does she like Valentine badges? Does she like chocolate? Does she like books? Choose something that will make her happy, and plan to make a tradition out of it. In the long run, that will have tremendous meaning.
Reply:My husband bought me a new outfit, than we went and walked around the botanical gardens, and than we went to a nice restaurant for dinner, it was one of the best days I ever had.





How about a tea set, or some nice candles w/ holders, or an oil diffuser? A gift certificate for a manicure, a book you know she's been wanting, or a framed photo of the two of you together.





Whatever you get her, it's always a good idea to include a card that tells her why she's meaningful to you, she'll cherish that card.

Reply:My boyfriend got me a beautiful photo album. He had it engraved with our names and a heart. It was meaningful because he lives eight hours away from me, and I had told him that I wanted to make a scrapbook of the times we've had together.





This website does a lot of personalizing and engraving:

Reply:This gift has not been given to me, and I pray I won't have to accept it, but I met a wonderful man on the internet a year ago. We have quite a close relationship and he has offered me his kidney.
Reply:Mine was this nice portrait of myself on my 18th birthday – done by professional artists from http://www.paintyourlife.com on my girlfriend’s instructions. She secretly sent the photo to them and the finished product came directly to me by post – of course with a personalized message in there from her. I just love it! You.


I have since discovered that the same company also has a studio for oil paintings reproductions. So, if you are looking for an affordable gift urgently, you can take a look at their 'stock on sale' by visiting http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.c...
Reply:My fiance made me my own chocolate caramels last year with sea salt on top. They were yummy. He also created a dessert he thought I would like based on things he knows that I like. Although the dessert was just okay, the thought was amazing. He is a very thoughtful man.





Edit: And personally, the gifts I have always found most thoughtful are the ones where the person thinks about me as a person and what I like. So, I would say, think about her interests, who she is, and then that will inform your gift.
Reply:I like to read and I appreciate art and an old love once gave me a first edition book illustrated by Salvador Dali that he found in a used book store. Also, he made me a flower press (because I had admired one I saw in a store). He made it from wood that screws together and he had varnished the wood and painted a rose on top and put in layers of foam core and tissue to press flowers. It was really thoughtful because he took the time to make it and because he noticed what I liked.
Reply:O - artwork gift!! I am tremendously amazed by photoartomation work! (http://www.photoartomation.com). Their professional and creative artists convert ordinary photo into art and print them on canvas. Sent them a favorite picture of your friend and they will turn it to the beautiful peace of art. I'm sure your friend would love it very much.
Reply:Think about her or his talents and interests and try to buy somethng taht would be of use for that hobby. like if they like painting give her some expensive paints, or something also if the person is a close friend a nice scrap book will probably touch them. put pics and momentos from your friendship in the book and give it to them. they will laugh at the memories,and be so happy.
Reply:The best gift I have ever recieved was a trip to the snow. I was always saying how I had never seen snow ( lived in the tropics my whole life) and how I wished I could see it. Well my boyfriend suprised me on my birthday with plane tickets for a weekend away at the snow. We had the most amazing time. I will never forget the excitement I felt seeing the snow for the first time. It was the most thoughtfull gift I had ever recieved and I will never forget it. He took the time to find me a gift that was perfect and unexpected and the most memorable present of my whole life.


I guess that is one of the reasons I am marrying the guy. Nobody has ever done anything so wonderful for me before.
