Valentine gift ideas!!!?

What can I do to make Valentines special this year for my BF? I havent had a valentine in years so I forgot how this works lol

We are in a serious, in love relationship, so hes not just some boyfriend its the real deal!

I dont just want like a bear and a card type thing, I want it to be more special, unique, something he will be impressed or happy about.

do people usually buy gifts for this occasion? like actually spend a lot of money of a gift or is it just little love gifts like chocolate or whatever?

any tips/ideas will be appreciated : )

every valentines day i make my boyfriend a basket of his favorite things; candy, snacks, drinks, dvds, books, clothes, video games, picture of us, random valentines stuff, and anything he’s been talking about that he needs or wants. he loves it! also cook him dinner/dessert or take him to his favorite place to eat.
but you could always make him homemade gifts; i’ve done a memory jar before, decorate a jar and put memories in it, movie tickets, other event tickets, notes, things you guys have done together, etc. making a scrapbook is always a good idea. i’ve painted a clock from one of those pottery painting places that says "i love you all the time" but you could always buy a cute clock and decorate it and put that on it. also if youre artistic making a painting or drawing. i also always make a homemade card.

    some ideas…

    – make a pan of brownies, use a heart shape cookie cutter to transform them into brownie hearts, and then write cute messages on them (get inspiration from those candy hearts, or use those as decoration too.)

    – make a scrapbook with favorite memories and pictures from your relationship.

    – make one of those fleece blankets with his favorite sports team on it.

    – at ‘Things Remembered’ you can get different items engraved – like a set of dog tags with his name engraved on one, and maybe the date you met, or other significant date/saying on the other one. They also have other items available to engrave (http://www.thingsremembered.com)

    – make a mixed CD with songs that mean a lot to both of you, and maybe songs that remind you of different events you two have shared together.

    – make him his favorite meal for dinner.

    Hope this helps and gives you some ideas! Good luck =)

    How about a romantic caricature. I happen to know the guy that does them, he’s worked at Caesars Honeymoon resorts in the poconos. They aren’t the goofy kind, and he get’s a good likeness. Just send your photo. His website has a lot of samples for romantic couples. Tell him about yourselves, special moments, interests, and he’ll create something unique he won’t expect, that’s about the two of you.. Less than $100/couple

    You may have a try for Valentine’s day card, romantic and unique.

    Get together a bundle of your cute picutures and design an e-Card with sweet sayings to send him via email/msn or free print in full color at home. Photo collage studio provides many different styles and templates, you can design and assemble the still photos into an artistic compilation!

    Also, you can also show different feeling with different pic order. Here are some Valentine card examples with Twilight Movie for your appreciation: http://www.photo-collage-software.com/tutorial/hot-twilight-scene-movie-collage.html?page=173
