10 Best Valentines Gifts to Give

Young couples celebrate Valentine's Day with laughter and pledges of unwavering love all throughout the world in February. The joy has no age restrictions, and those who are hopeful cherish the words "Will you be my Valentine," regardless of their age (4 or 80).

Even in pre-Christian times, people joyfully celebrated a "fertility" festival in mid-February, which in ancient Rome signified the arrival of spring. Many years later, on February 14th, there was a feast honoring St. Valentine, who is said to have written "from your Valentine" in a letter to his sweetheart as he lay dying.

Here are some inspirations to get you started:

Give up all thoughts of having dinner at a packed restaurant where couples will be vying for seats. Make time for a nice "time for two" on a patio overlooking a garden or when cruising a river or sea under the moonlight. Pick delicacies that bring back memories to include in your picnic basket. For instance, it may have been chocolate doughnuts, a pizza with toppings you both like, or a cookie that you created just for each other. Sing to her by bringing along music or writing a song. Like knights once did, serenade her while bending over.
