Day Valentines

Giving flowers on Valentine’s Day is a tradition that began back in the 1700´s, with the introduction of the flower language to Persians by the Swede, Charles II , but it is still a very popular one that is carried on to this day. In fact, flowers are still the most popular romantic gift, along with chocolate, for this special day celebrated by those in love. Not sure which flower to gift your darling this year? Here are the top five flowers that are sent out for Valentine’s Day.

1. Roses lead the pack as the number one romantic flower for lovers. These delicate flowers are much loved because of their message of love and the sweet aroma that emanates from their silky petals. They are so popular, in fact, that there are over 150 types of this beautiful flower! They have been bred to be disease resistant, for best aroma and for a wide variety of colors. Giving roses as a gift never has to be boring!

2. Carnations are the second most popular flower that is purchased for Valentine’s Day. This is possibly because they are generally lower priced than roses and are considered to be very romantic. The ruffled appearance is quite feminine and carnations make excellent flowers to give to women on this special and romantic day. They come in a variety of pretty colors to choose from, as well.

Trying to find the perfect gift for your significant other at Valentine’s Day can add a lot of stress to your life. You want to find something that is meaningful, within your budget and will also help to create a memory. Whether you are buying a Valentine’s Day gift for your girlfriend or boyfriend, husband or wife, the task can be equally difficult. And when you tack on the fact that you almost forgot that Valentine’s Day was near, you are in for a severe stress-induced headache.
When it comes to making the day memorable you might want to steer clear from the generic Valentine’s Day gifts that are put out on store shelves year after year. Listen to the hints that your significant other leaves you before the holiday arrives. Put some thought into the gift if your significant other puts a lot of significance on the day. The more meaningful that your gift is the better his or her reaction will be and they will treasure the gift and thoughtfulness that you put into the gift.
Just because it is stereotypical to purchase jewelry for women, does not mean that it would be the perfect gift for the gal in your life. Not all women wear a lot of jewelry, so taking out a small loan to purchase a necklace or bracelet would not be beneficial to your wallet; although she would like it, it just would not be the meaningful gift she had anticipated. Jewelry should be given as a special gift not just because the current holiday has been made into a day when everyone is giving jewelry to their wives and girlfriends. Think about what your wife or girlfriend likes and get something in that area. If she likes to read and has been wanting a book from her favorite author, get it for her or get her a gift card to the bookstore she shops at if the book is not out yet. For those who are harder to buy for it may take some thinking on the part of their boyfriend or husband. For instance you may consider surprising a wife with a kid free day or a girlfriend with a weekend away from it all at one of her favorite destinations.

About 8 hundred years before Valentines Day was established, A man named Claudius was in power in Rome . He felt that marriage was a bad thing because it made poor soldiers out of men. So, he banned marriage from his empire. St. Valentine did not agree with this rule, so he would secretly marry couples that came to him. St. Valentine was caught and soon after he was stoned and then beheaded.

Valentines Heart

Valentine's Day is a special and magical time of the year, where lovers can exchange beautiful Valentines Day Gifts, and individuals can dip their toes into the paddling pool of love for the very first time. However, while those in the first stages of love can feel free to reuse past ideas on someone new, for those within an established relationship it's advisable to show a certain amount of originality; after all, when it comes to Valentines Day Gifts and romantic gestures, nobody wants to come across as lacking inspiration; the future of a relationship could well depend upon it.

Before thinking about the Valentine's Day plans for this year, it's probably worth considering your approach during previous years. If you're the type of person who likes to start giving Valentines Day Gifts with flowers, what type do you give and where do you buy them? If you're the type of man or woman who usually buys flowers at the last minute from the local petrol station, perhaps that's something should definitely change. But what if you usually splash out and really make an effort at your local florist? The first thing to consider is whether or not you always use the same company; no matter how good they are, there is a change that as your business relationship develops, they'll know what you like and will always seek to satisfy. Unfortunately, their desire to satisfy your needs could lead to some unnecessary duplication.

Valentines Kids

Kids love Valentine’s Day just about as much as grown-ups. They shouldn’t be left out of the celebrations. While kids don’t understand the romantic themes behind Valentine’s Day, they do know about love.

Stuffed animals are always a hit with kids, no matter what the occasion. There are always cute toys with hearts. Every child has their favorite cuddly friends, and there is a huge variety of stuff toys available.

Instead of getting them yet another video or computer game, get them an old fashioned toy like you played with as a kid. Something to get them up and moving, like a hoola hoop or a jump rope. There are many nostalgia toys out there that are popular again. Introduce your child to something you loved as a child.

Have a date with your child. If you don’t get a lot of time with your kids, taking the time for some one-on-one time with each one around Valentine’s Day would be a very special memory for both of you. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it also doesn’t have to be fast food. Even going to a sit down restaurant and just ordering appetizers for a light dinner, or dessert after dinner at home would be a nice time.

ST Valentine Day

Oh boy! Here comes another Valentine day disaster. If you are anything like me, this is how you feel for about 2 weeks prior to February 14th.At least that’s the way I felt until the internet came around.
Now, shopping on the internet can be as daunting as the mall, especially for the shopping challenged like me.Unless you have a specific idea what you want, roaming malls can actually be easier than browsing an online store. Even with high speed download clicking from page to page looking for gift ideas just doesn’t work.
So what do you do? You need to get a plan and stick to it…
Let’s face is. Our typical problem is the lack of thought and preparation when it comes to Valentines Day. Flowers, chocolate, dinner out at the usual restaurant just doesn’t cut it after the first couple of years. (I will say that jewelry usually does work, but that does get expensive?).
So, the plan… Here’s what I do. Typically, after the holidays my wife and I start talking about where we might be interested in going for our vacation in the summer.We will talk about cruises or getting a beach house, or taking the kids to Disney World. Sometimes, we might even consider a drive to __________ (wherever) to see the sights.The thing I’ve found is that no matter where you plan to visit, you can find hundreds of products and information online pertaining to your trip.
