PASSIONATE GIFT FOR VALENTINES

 We really can’t deny it.. days are passing by just like a water falls…… and just like a blink of an eye..and now FEBRUARY 14 (VALENTINES DAY) is so near.. and am sure.. most of people whom in relationship are thinking now what will be the best GIFT to give.

Here are some suggested GIFT:

LINGERIE -  Let’s face it, lingerie is best appreciated by adults only.  Though generally directed towards women, there are plenty of options for men as well.  And don’t think this is a gift only for young and taut bodies….  lingerie comes in all sizes and shapes, just like we do.

There’s a reason why scantily clad bodies are generally deemed sexier than naked bodies…  because they leave just enough to the imagination, where perfection can exist despite the reality.  Make sure your gift of lingerie allows the imagination to run wild… and also try to accentuate the best part of the body on the object of your affection…..  if they’re sensitive about a little too much flesh here or there, buy something which will make THEM feel comfortable and sexy and discreetly hide their flaws.  Remember, the more comfortable THEY are, the more comfortable they will be sharing with YOU.

If you buy something they’ll never even have the nerve to try on let alone wear for you, your gift will probably end up tucked discreetly in a drawer somewhere never to be enjoyed.   Try a single item  for the shy ones….  a lacy, silky, open-tie bathrobe or a camisole top to wear with their own comfortable bottoms.  Perhaps try a little reciprocal psychological step towards the unexplored….  if you wear THIS, then I’ll wear THIS!!!

 Chocolate - Do you have the chocolate-lover’s gene? Are you hard-wired to salivate when you see it, smell it, read about it, hear people talking about it, or merely think about it? If you’re like me, the answer is a resounding YES! But most things that give us so much pleasure are “bad” for us. We even describe them as “sinful.” Does our beloved chocolate fall into that category? Does it have anything going for it other than the obvious joy it brings us? Here are some things you may not know:

·         Chocolate stimulates the secretion of endorphins, producing a pleasurable sensation similar to a "runner’s high."

·         Chocolate contains a neurotransmitter, serotonin, that acts as an anti-depressant. In fact, there are over 300 chemicals contained in chocolate that make us feel so good!

·         Dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure — if you’ve reached a certain age and have mild hypertension.

·         Dark chocolate contains an antioxidant called flavanol, which keeps oxygen free radicals from damaging your cells.

Are you tempted to start replacing healthy foods with chocolate? Something from the three main food groups – milk, dark, and white – at each meal? Be careful! Chocolate still contains a lot of fat and calories, so you’ll have to eat less of other things. A 100-gram bar of a well-known Special Dark Chocolate has 531 calories, while a 100-gram apple has only 52 calories. But think about it…would you want to miss out on the delicious blood pressure and other health benefits?

  Dinner date - if you can afford nothing else for Valentine’s Day, try making a dinner reservation at the best restaurant in your area. You may have to think of this days, weeks, or even months in advance, but since Valentine’s Day is on a Thursday in 2008, you have Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night to make appropriate reservations.

Eat gently the day of your Valentine’s celebration. If you have Valentine’s Day gifts to present, and they are not too large, you can share them at an exquisite dinner. Ask for a table suitable for the occasion: when you make the reservation, mention that it’s a special celebration and you’d like a quiet area of the restaurant with good lighting.

Try varying your regular routine: if you never order alcohol, try a glass of wine. If the appetizers look delectable, consider appetizers and dessert to reduce the stress on your stomach and  your WALLET. Try something you never usually order… and ask for the waiter or waitress’s recommendation. Remember, you don’t have to take it.

Take your time, savor the moment, bask in the luxury of a quality meal at a lovely establishment, and listen to your partner. It could be the best meal you ever shared.

Flowers - Historically and traditionally, flowers are one of the first ways in which men show women that they’re interested in romance.  In a larger sense, flowers are an excellent way for anyone to show that they care deeply about another person or his circumstances.  It’s not just that flowers, at the peak of their bloom, display a variety of beautiful colors and patterns, it’s also that they emit exquisite fragrances to further stimulate the senses and evoke an environment of calm peacefulness. 
      
Flowers can be given in a huge variety of presentations and various levels of sophistication and expense, as well.  From a single carnation and a light sprig of Baby’s Breath in a simple glass vase to a lavish arrangement of tropical petals staged in a multi-tiered array, flowers are a reminder of the beauty and fragility of life.    

Jewelries - The universality of jewelry makes it an ideal gift.  If your budget is limited, try silver jewelry.  If not, platinum sends a message of ultimate luxury.  Look at what the recipient already wears….  The colors, the patterns, the quantity, the type of metal…  you’re not likely to replace a highly sentimental piece but you can certainly complement it or start a tradition if none yet exists.  If your recipient is practical rather than sentimental, try jewelry which incorporates a timepiece.  These can be found in bracelets, necklaces, and yes, even rings.  Are they sports-minded?  Even earrings can be found in the shape of basketballs.  Religious?  New age?  Into heirlooms?  Look around and match their style to their gift.  If your budget allows only for a luxurious necklace charm, forget the additional chain and deliver the charm.  Most women already have lots of chains which will accommodate switching out charms.
