| This year Valentines Day falls on a Saturday. This | | | | dropping. Has she written a list? One technique |
| is both good and bad! It means you can prepare | | | | you should practice is "gift noting" - every time |
| all week for the special day, and you don't have | | | | she mentioned something special she'd like, or a |
| to get up early the next day if you overdo the | | | | film she loved when she was a kid, make a |
| bubbly. The bad news is if you follow a team that | | | | secret note of it. That way you'll always have |
| plays on the Saturday you'll be expected to not | | | | ideas for gifts. Make notes of her clothes size, bra |
| go! (Unless that's her Valentines Day gift to you.) | | | | size, preference for wine, chocolates and flowers. |
| Spend the whole day with her - from breakfast, | | | | What about something personalized? You can buy |
| lunch, evening you've got all the time you need to | | | | some really lovely gifts with special photos on - |
| make her feel special and very wanted. If you've | | | | you pick the photos and the gift is then really |
| got kids then you'll have to either send them to | | | | personal. Or you could buy a photo frame and |
| grannies for the day, or find something nice | | | | collect your favorite photos together. If you |
| everyone can do! | | | | bought a digital frame you could include images |
| You could make it special just by being thoughtful | | | | with messages written on! Photoshop the images |
| and working out the nice things she'd like to do. | | | | with text! |
| Like you doing the laundry and ironing and cooking | | | | Other gifts include books she's after, films you |
| for the day. | | | | want her to watch - whether they're romantic |
| Make sure you do the traditional things even if | | | | comedies you know she'll laugh and cry over, or |
| they're only tokens - flowers, chocolates and card | | | | some really good bodice ripping costume drama. |
| are the holy trinity of Valentines Day. But buy her | | | | There's always loads of films we all want to |
| something special as a gift.What to get her? You'll | | | | watch but don't have - it's a case of picking up on |
| hopefully have noticed the hints she's been | | | | clues and finding the film. |
