In the run-up to V-Day, here are some can't-fail ideas for your special someoneBook of Shakespearean sonnets: Want to inspire feelings of love? One of the most sure-shot ways of doing so is through the voice and verse of William Shakespeare. Shall I Compare Thee To a Summer's Day and That Time Of Year Thou Mayst In Me Behold are some of the most beautiful
poems written by the Bard. Read it out to your lover or simply gift a book to bring on that lovin' feeling.
Romantic keyboard: Go gift your partner a keyboard with heart-shaped keys for something different. The idea is to have him or her remember you at work too, so out of sight won't really be out of mind.
Baubles and brooches: Ladies love this for sure! Bling is always right so go for a ring, a necklace with charms and embellishments or gift a pearly string that spells elegance. And if you're in the mood go ahead and splash out on diamonds; they're a girl's best friend! Ladies, gift your man silver cuffs or personalized brooch tie pins.
Heart-shaped pillows and candles: The day is meant to wear your heart on your sleeves, but you can also brighten your romantic meal with these candles and send your beloved a fluffy heart pillow that says 'Always be my sweetheart'.
A li'l sexy lingerie: Kitchsy or classy, good looking lingerie is always a gift that's going to leave her thrilled. If you're in a flux about sizes go for a slip or teddy that comes in three main sizes and can fit all figures.
Balloons: Send your love across in a large helium balloon. It's a great gift to show off at your office desk or at by your bedside. Instead of flowers, try gifting a whole balloon bouquet with 12 red ones or have one large balloon that says 'I love you'.
Fragrance: Yes, perfume can be tricky, but if you don't know someone's signature scent yet, a relatively enticing fragrance will still work. The sexy aromas are those that have mandarin, violet, orchid, amber, vanilla and nectarine. You can go for a matching shower gels and bath lotion and create a hamper.
