A shoebox covered in red foil paper then the foil is covered over with white lace. Beautiful! You can also add a ribbon tie and it becomes a great keepsake box for love letters and cards!

Something little to let him/ her know that you love him/ her. \n\nBe creative! Valentine's day is not like Christmas where you have to give actual presents, it's about showing your love for your significant other.\n\nHere are some ideas:\n\n- Visit a local art museum alone, learn about the works with romantic themes, and bring your wife/ girlfriend/ boyfriend/ husband back for a personal tour.\n\n- Go for a mystery ride to an unannounced destination. Keep your wife/ girlfriend/ boyfriend/ husband guessing until you arrive at a favorite beach, ice cream palour, restaurant, theater, sport game, coffee shop, or ice skating/ roller skating rink, etc.\n\n- Fill his/ her whole bedroom closet, garage, coat closet, car, drawer, bathroom cabinet, linen closet, etc. with balloons.\n\nDon't spend a lot of money. Hope this helps you. Have fun!

I love these types of questions.  \n\nBe creative!  Valentine's day is not like Christmas where you have to give actual presents, it's about showing your love for your significant other.\n \nHere are some ideas:\n\n- Mail a week's worth of valentine cards to arrive during the 7 days before valentine's day.\n\n- Fill his sink with little kids valentine cards so when he wakes up in the morning he will go to the sink and not be able to run the water until he reads some of these cards- or moves them.\n\n- Write I Love You with soap on his mirror so when he wakes up he will see this\n\n- Write a love letter & mail it to arrive on Valentine's Day.  Mark it "Personal & Confidential" real big on the envelope.  Talk about your feelings.\n\n- Rent a stretch limo stocked with champagne & hors d'oeuvres to take him to dinner when he least expects it- sometime during Valentine's week.\n\n- Visit a local art museum slone, learn about the works with romantic themes, and bring your boyfriend back for a personal tour.\n\n- Go for a mystery ride to an unannounced destination.  Keep your boyfriend guessing until you arrive at a favorite beach, ice cream palour, restaurant, theater, sport game, coffee shop, or ice skating/ roller skating rink, etc.\n\n- Fill his whole bedroom closet, garage, coat closet, car, drawer, bathroom cabinet, linen closet, etc. with balloons.\n\nHope this helps you.  Have fun!

you mean like a shadow box or display case?  try Doll collector stores.  they might have something in the right dimensions.  or have one custom built.

You could get some boxes from the supermarket and decorate them yourself with paints/glitter or cut out pictures from magazines and stick them onto the boxes (that way you can customise each box to each person eg pictures of footballs/footballers for someone who likes football etc). People will appreciate the effort you have put into wrapping their presents! You could also use old cards for the gift tags.  Failing that Oxfam sell eco friendly wrapping paper. - Happy holidays!!

Make her something!  Something that you made with your own two hands, that will last forever, will be worth more than anything perishable, that you can just pick up in the store, by far.  Here is a list of ideas to get you started:\n\n1.  Make "coupons" for her.  An example would be one that says, "Good for one back rub."  She could cash these in at any time during the year and you can really get creative with the favors offered. :)\n\n2.  Make copies of excerpts of love letters (or emails) between the two of you and make a book out of it entitled "The Story of Us."  Mix pictures in with the letters, in between excerpts, of the two of you together.\n\n3.  Since you're sending her stuff, I'm assuming you won't be able to be together.  If that's the case, perhaps you could send her one wine glass, a mixed CD of romantic music, and a teddy bear wearing one of your shirts, that has your cologne sprayed on it.  Then, if you're able to talk on the phone, you can sip wine together, listen to the music together, and she can close her eyes, squeeze the teddy bear, and it will be almost like you are spending the evening together.\n\n4.  Send her a video-taped Valentine message.  Pour your heart out to her in the video and then, after you've finished talking, stop the camera.  Lay out some photos of the two of you.  Put a CD of "your song" in a portable CD player.  Set a pair of headphones so that they're directly over the microphone of the video camera.  Push play on both the CD and the video camera and pan across pictures of the two of you as your song plays in the background.  End the video by panning over a handwritten sign that says, "I love you.  Happy Valentine's Day."\n\nI hope this helps. :)  Best of luck!!

We are giving our secretaries bonsai trees, flowers, a nice card and then treating them to cake and punch.\n\nbut i would otherwise suggest:\n*potted plants, orchids\n*desk-sized picture frames\n*gift cards to Target, Kohls, Mervyn, other mid-level department stores\n*order lunch for them\n*chocolates (if they're not dieting or diabetic)\n*a fruit basket (a healthier alternative to chocolates)\n*a magazine subscription

Start with a card, and write the first of 21 surprises I have for you today.  Then plan the others, a rose in her car.  A chocolate in her desk drawer, a dedicated song on the radio, a little stuffed animal in her closet, a small bottle of her favorite perfume in her lingerie drawer. A "chick flick" movie that you promise to watch with her.  (The Lake House is excellent) I'll let you figure out the rest.  If you can't afford 21 surprises, then buy 21 flowers.  And make sure the next to the last gift is something nice, the last gift is your kiss. Which should lead to something YOU'd really like.  \n\nHope this isn't too sappy for you.  \n\nPeace.

Wow, beyond what you have already listed, I can't think of anything really. How about buying each other a gift on eBay (limit how much spent) with the idea that you want to send them something they think the other would truly love.\n\nHow about a mutual blog in planning the wedding? That way when the date is close, you can break out your list with all the flower type, colors, location etc. all ready.

What's your budget?\n\nAnyway, I'll just throw out some ideas that may help.\nPerfume?\nA pretty picture frame with a picture of the two of you?\n\nI think it'd be cute if you make her a little basket of all of her favorite things. Like her favorite candies, ect.\n\nOr why don't you write her a letter to tell her all of the reasons you love her. \n\nGood luck with your gift. But I think anything that comes from the heart and is creative will be a great gift!

*Smiling lupinely* You are ALWAYS good enough to give a homemade present, including cards. The kind of person who would not appreciate the fact you took the time and effort to make something just for them is simply too shallow to be worth your bother in the 1st place.\n\nAs to what should be on the card, try to come up with a common interest the two of you share and use that as the theme.\n\nBarring that as most guys are not too into heavy sentiment, a simple "thank you for being you" and how happy they make you will suffice...

Some craft stores sell inexpensive wood kits to make boxes (for trinkets or whatnot), bird houses, wooden key pegs to hang on the wall, and even clocks. You simply add the creativity, paint, lace, flowers, bows, or whatnot.\n\nThis could also depend on what your skills are creatively. You want something that doesn't take really long. One year I made candle and soap (I made the candles and the soaps by hand) gift boxes for friends and more distant family members. They turned out really cute.
