Consider a fresh approach. Don't send flowers. Firstly, they are very expensive during Valentine's Day. Secondly they'll die. Instead, why not get her a living plant? Roses symbolize love. Red and white roses signify unity. Plants that give off fragrances such as lavender and violets will be appreciated by your loved ones too.

Rekindle your love by reminiscing the past. You don't just have happy memories only. Visit your old haunts where you first had your intimate moments like the first embrace, first kiss, first walk or the first outing together.

I think these are great ideas because both of you can do it together. Why not go for cooking classes together? Then both of you can cook for each other and comment on each other's cooking. If you are interested in the arts, consider learning to play a new musical instrument together or enroll for a dance course together?

You can rent some romantic movie classics like Titanic, Ghost, Pretty Woman, Breakfast at Tiffany's and 4 Weddings and a Funeral. These movies are sure to bring out the tenderness in both of you. If your partner likes reading books, you can get your hands on romantic novels like Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen or The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCollough.

Your partner would appreciate originality and freshness in your ideas. You could compile your own list of favorite love songs on a CD for your loved ones. Here are some of my suggestions.You can pick songs from the above movies like Pretty Woman and 4 Weddings and a Funeral.Here are some of my all time favorites -Love Me Tender by Elvis, I'll Be There by Mariah Carey, My Heart Will Go On by Celin Dion, I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston, Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers and Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx.

Writing a love letter to the one you cherish is another great idea. Write the letter when you are in a good mood. Give yourself some time to think about what you want to say. Write in a creative, fun and positive manner. Express sincerely your feelings and thoughts.

Affirm your love for your loved one by showing her support. Show your concern and thoughtfulness and initiative by seeing what area of her life needs help and attention. You could volunteer to spend some time doing her groceries or accompany her when she does her shopping.

If both of you love nature, spend some intimate moments by the seaside, mountain, park or a garden. In a relaxed environment far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and work, the beauty of nature takes away your breath and sets you in the mood for love and romance.
