You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.  ~Dr. Seuss

If you are aspiring for an exquisite Valentine’s Day here are a few  ideas or tips to help make it a Valentine’s Day to remember. 🙂  And call me a total Dork, but I absolutely Love Conversation Hearts!

A simple ‘I Love You’ with a kiss can set an awesome mood for a Valentine’s Day.  And if you want to take it a step further, here are some other options:

• Decorate his/her house with hearts, bows and ribbons.
• Make arrangements for surprise flower bouquets.
• Cook a dinner for two and decorate the room with heart-shaped candles.
• A romantic note asking him/her to be your valentine.
• Send sweet love quotes.
• Make your own Valentine’s Day card which expresses your feelings.
• Create a scrapbook ‘recollection collection’ and fill it with love letters, photographs, cherished mementos, etc.
• A CD of his/her favorite songs.  Don’t forget to include Build me up Buttercup!
• Jewelry is always wonderful.  A sweet heart bracelet or locket.  Casual watch for a guy.
• Plan a special dinner for him/her either in a garden or a boat. A candle light dinner is just unforgettable.
• Pamper your sweetheart by gifting her a spa session.
• Pot a plant that will grow and loom for her.
• Spend loads of quality time with him/her and “clandestine “visits to romantic gateways.
• Gift him/her a nice cell phone for keeping endless communication.
• Gift her a beautiful evening gown or apparel.
• Dance with your valentine to his/her favorite song – mine is In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel
• Include a chocolate dessert in your romantic dinner.
• Create a love song CD full of Valentine’s Day songs.  My friend Monica posted on Facebook, this classic,

More Today than Yesterday, by Spiral Starecase.  Love it!

• Send flowers at workplace or home to him/her.
• If he/she loves gadgets then gift a digital camera.

And, my personal favorite would be Veuve Clicquot and Cupcakes with Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes playing in the background.

Yeah…Perfect.   Love it!

Happy Valentine’s Day, my loves.
