The other day my friend asked me if I could suggest some romantic Valentine's day ideas that she could use to surprise her boyfriend. She wanted something unique and special, something which would show him how much he meant to her, something that would make Valentine's day truly unforgettable. We spent quite a lot of time coming up with ideas that she could use the entire day to make her boyfriend realize how much he meant to her. For every girl (and guy), planning Valentine's day can be a huge predicament. After all, you definitely want to avoid the usual, clichéd ideas and do something unique for your loved one.
Do you know what the best part of a surprise is? It's when you see the smile on the face of the person for whom the surprise was meant. That's when you know that all your planning and all the work you put in has paid off. There are so many different ideas that you could use that would bring out the mushy side in your boyfriend. If you are unsure of what you could do, here are some things you could do for the guy in your life this Valentine's day.

Is he a movie fanatic? Is your idea of a perfect date a trip to the theater, watching a great movie and enjoying the grandeur that it brings with it? If your answers to all these questions is a big resounding yes, then maybe a brilliant idea for this Valentine's day would be to take him to the movies. The surprise factor, you ask. Firstly ensure that you book the entire theater for yourself and secondly, (and this maybe where the plan gets a little tricky), the movie you screen should be one that stars the two of you. Get help from a friend who has an interest in making movies and get him to create one for you using home videos. You could also shoot him when he does not know it and use the footage to create a movie that ends with a message from you. A movie which features him and you could be just what you need to add the right amount of romance to your night. |

| Guys are not known to be the most emotional beings. But what we all know (and what they will vehemently disagree with) is that they tend to be hundred times more emotional then us. And if your guy is a closet romantic, he is going to love any romantic gesture. In a world where technology rules us and where emails and messages are more common than face-to-face conversations, maybe it is time to turn the pages of history and write him a letter. There is always a lot that you want to tell the guy in your life but never do. What better day to tell him how you feel than Valentine's day. Choose beautiful stationery, pick out calligraphy pens, and pour your heart out on paper. Place it next to his morning newspaper (or his phone if he is so inclined) and watch him smile as he reads your letter. If you want to include photos and souvenirs, then maybe you could create a journal. |

If your boyfriend an adventurous person? Would you want to do something exciting for him this Valentine's day? A great idea would be to take him on a hot air balloon ride or maybe you could go paragliding. What is new about these ideas you ask? Well combine the ride that you are taking with an expression of love. Hire a company that specializes in skywriting and get them to write a heartfelt message as you pass by in a hot air balloon. Of course this is an idea that would require a lot of planning and precise timing. So ensure that your plan works without a hitch. Your boyfriend is sure to love the fact that you are proclaiming to the world that you love him and in the grand manner that you have chosen to. |

| How does your guy start his morning every day? Does he always turn to the page with crossword puzzle and start solving them? Is he a word game fanatic? Well if all these seem true to the guy in your life, then maybe it is time to do something that appeals to what he truly enjoys. Create a crossword puzzle that is themed around him and you. Come up with clues that when he solves talks about things that are special to the two of you or that marks milestones in your relationship with him. He is going to have a blast solving the puzzle and you are going to get the credit for being the most thoughtful girlfriend ever. Better still solve the puzzle together. It could be a great way to spend Valentine's day. |
