5 Unique Valentines Day Gift Ideas



1. Hand made Art:
Kids do it all the time they may be smarter than we think. Even if you are not an artist, don’t rule this idea out. Think abstractly, and have meaning behind your art. To verify to the recipient that this was not some cheap attempt to avoid paying for a gift. Put your artwork in a nice frame or otherwise spectacular presentation.

2. Prepare a Valentines Day Dinner:
Even if you don’t know how to cook, learn to cook at least one recipe for your significant other this Valentines Day. It doesn’t have to be perfect or extravagant. It could be "special" sandwiches! As always, presentation is important. Set a mood with lighting and décor. Effort is what’s important in this Valentines Day Gift.

3. Write and Present a Valentines Day Poem:
It’s amazing how creative you can be when it comes from the heart. You will really amaze yourself, and the person for whom you are writing the poem. If you were not sure where to start, a good thing to do would be to mimic the rhythm and style of a classic poet. Not unlike an assignment you might have had in grade school a long long time ago. Also, don’t be afraid to use a little humor. Presentation: If you can, make sure your poem is professionally printed, matted and framed, and present it as a small keepsake to him or her.

4. Hand Made Pencil sketch portraits:
A great idea would be to turn photos into a portrait rendered or painted by an artist and present it as a gift. The price and time it takes to complete will vary, depending on the medium (pencil, oil paint, etc.) and also on whom you choose to create the artwork. You have a few choices on where to look for your artist. You can look through your local yellow pages for your local artists in residence. There is also a great service online called. mydavinci.com . Or, if you are really pressed for time, you are sure to find an artist’s booth set up in your local mall.

5. A Valentines Day screensaver from ILoveYouScreensaver.com:
