A honeymoon is the perfect time to present your lover with a gift or to arrange a special event. Romantic gift ideas can be as simple as handwritten love poems left on your spouse''s pillow. More extravagant gifts might include surprising your loved one with tickets to an event, or with an activity you know he or she will enjoy.
Personalized gifts appeal to many guys: A watch with your names and marriage date engraved on the back is a good choice, or perhaps a quality pocketknife. Show him how well you know him when you choose personalized gifts: Select a gift that reflects his interests and hobbies.
A new wallet can be turned into a very personal gift with a little imagination. Buy a good quality wallet and some paper. Cut the paper into credit card-sized shapes, and write romantic ideas and suggestions on each one before slipping them into the wallet as "romance coupons."
Plan a surprise encounter with him during the honeymoon. Buy a bag of scented silk rose petals. Make a trail of rose petals from the door to where you are. You can leave little notes with the rose petals, hinting at what you have in mind!
Some men have a flair for writing love poems: If that describes you, great! If not, copy out a few of her favorite love poems before you go on your honeymoon. Leave them scattered throughout the room so she can find them.
You could also arrange to have a special greeting card delivered to her for every day of the vacation (recruit the hotel staff, so cards show up with breakfast, delivered by the pool, or left on her pillow while you''re out). Write a surprise activity or suggestion in each card.
Roses are a pretty reliable standby honeymoon gifts...indeed gifts for any occasion! You could have a rose delivered to the room every day you''re on vacation, or have one waiting for her at the dinner table. Lovely though roses are, don''t overlook other flowers: If you''re honeymooning in the tropics, you might want to pick a flower that suits the location. In Hawaii, for instance, you could present her with a plumeria, hibiscus, gardenia, or orchid and tuck it into place behind her ear (make sure to tuck it behind her right ear: This means she''s taken!).
Once you''re back home, the hustle and bustle of everyday life doesn''t have to hinder your romantic inclinations. Romantic gift ideas for after the honeymoon don''t have to be extravagant; little reminders of your love can mean a lot. If you know your spouse is suffering from work-related stress, why not arrange a surprise "spa" treatment? Light some candles, draw a relaxing bath, and pick up some massage oils. If you enjoy it, why not take a massage seminar together so you can offer even more stress relief.
Make a list of 52 things you''d like to do together: Short trips you''d like to take, restaurants you''d like to try, little romantic ideas and such. Write each down on a separate piece of paper put all the ideas in a jar. Every weekend, the two of you reach into the jar and pull out a paper at random and do whatever is written on it.
