5 romantic gift ideas for a Valentine's Day to remember

If your Valentine already has a closet full of teddy bears and has eaten more chocolate than anyone would care to admit, consider surprising your partner with one of these 5 romantic and original ideas.

Want to pamper your significant other? Set up a spa night at home that won't soon be forgotten!

• Start off by cooking a light, healthy dinner with chilled Champagne or wine.
• Then, cover your bed or couch with towels and give your partner a massage using luxurious massage oils.
• Next, light some candles, draw a bubble bath and enjoy a soak together.
• Spa night is a great night not only to pamper the person you love but also to create a romantic atmosphere for the evening.

If you want to commemorate your relationship on Valentine's Day, consider creating a memory book for your partner.

• Gather pictures and mementoes — such as ticket stubs, pressed flowers or matchbooks — from key events throughout your relationship and write out your favourite memories of things you did.
• Use one of various online speciality book services to turn the words and images into a bound souvenir of your love.
• For a more personal touch, you can put everything together in a handmade scrapbook.

Surprise your partner and escape the humdrum of daily life on Valentine's Day by taking a spur-of-the-moment getaway.

• Search online travel sites for last-minute bargains or a short excursion, or even to find discounted hotel rooms in the area.

Breaking out of the "expected" routine and experiencing something new together is a great way to ramp up romance for Valentine's Day!

Get the home fires burning by cooking your partner a lavish, romantic meal at home.

• Make a list of your partner's favourite foods or ingredients, then do some research for recipes that include those ingredients.
• Prepare three courses — an appetizer, entrée and dessert, and pair each with a nice wine, Champagne or speciality cocktail. This is a gift that you'll get to enjoy together!

For a more adventurous Valentine's Day, plan a scavenger hunt through your hometown for your significant other.

• Mark a map with all of the most special places for you and your sweetheart.
• Then, go to each of those places and hide a gift and note somewhere for him or her to discover.
• Wait at the final destination on the scavenger hunt, since you're the most romantic gift of all!

Valentine's day is one big romantic gesture, the main point being, it's the thought that counts. Whether you plan a last-minute getaway or something romantic and unexpected at home, why not do something that will surprise and delight your partner like never before!
