Love Letters
These days we text and email and send messages through social media, but why not go back to old style letter writing? Write down your soppiest thoughts, tie them up with a ribbon and give them as a very romantic gesture!

Pick out your favourite most romantic movies; like Romeo & Juliet, The Notebook and Twilight or a good horror if you really want snuggle up, and have a romantic inexpensive night in.
Light some candles, have some nibbles in easy
reach and cuddle up on the sofa for hours :-)
Or if you're having a 'no boys allowed' girls night to forget about Valentine's, put on some trusty girly films like Charlie's Angels, Mean Girls or Bride Wars.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so why not treat him to some tasty chocolate dipped goodies! They're really easy to do and there's many things you could use if you can't get hold of strawberries, like other fruits or marshmallows, yum!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
For another foody treat idea, why not try baking some cookies. This recipe I found on Drained Beauty's blog, is really quick and easy. Pop them in a pretty tin and give them as a gift or just make some to share together.

Romantic Keepsake/Memory Box
This is a really lovely idea if you've already been together a good while, collect up all your treasured souvenirs from previous dates i.e. cinema tickets, restaurant receipts, petals from the first time he bought you flowers, photos of the two of you together, any cute things like that, add in some paper hearts, little notes and then decorate the box. It would make a really beautiful and personal gift to treasure!

A Romantic Mix Tape/Song Compilation
Ok so the days are gone for actually making a mixed 'tape' but the idea is still the same, make a cd of all your favourite 'couple' songs and add in a few of his favourites too. This is a lovely thoughtful gift that you can both listen to together too.

Love Notes
This is similar to the keepsake box, but just for little love note type messages and it's something you could come up with over time, like writing down the dates of your first date together, first kiss, first time you went away and write cute loving messages too. Put them in to a pretty box or a nice jar and decorate with hearts and ribbons for a beautiful gift.
