Romance is all about being personal. Show your love to your Valentine with a personalized gift. Every couple has a story, the story of how they fell in love, the story of how they found each other. Every year you should try something different to spring a surprise on your man and to strengthen the bonds of love.

Even a simple thing like resetting the ring tone of his Smartphone to a romantic song is a cheeky way to surprise him. You can change the ringtone of his phone, set it at a volume higher than usual and give him a wake up call.  This is an interesting way to surprise him this Valentine s Day.

Here are a few ways to welcome the day by gifting him Valentines Day surprises

1. Screen – Saver takeover

Sitting up late at night to change the screen saver of the phone.

This is a wonderful Valentines Day gift idea, though it requires a bit of preparation and some amount of sneakiness. But believe us; it will be worth all the trouble. Take his laptop, tablet or Smartphone that has changeable wallpaper or screensaver. You can download a wallpaper with romantic or funny pictures and love messages on it. Then replace the existing one with the new wallpaper.

Use social media if your Valentine is comfortable with it. Make it a special Valentine gift and announce your love to the world by changing the cover photo of your Facebook page. There are several free software’s that allow you to customize your theme. You can juice up your Twitter header to reflect your love story. If your Valentine has the habit of checking his Facebook or twitter account first thing in the morning, he is going to be in for a surprise. Make sure you have a camera handy to capture the look on his face. It sure isn’t something you’re going to want to miss!

2. Love messages on the bathroom mirror

The washroom is the first place he is likely to visit after a cup of coffee in the morning. You can either wake up earlier and write a lovely romantic message on the bathroom mirror using your lipstick or use his shaving foam to soap your mirror with a simple “ Happy Valentine’s Day  xoxo” . Sure, it’s a bit of work to clean up the washroom later, but it’s worth the trouble.

Display your love for your Valentine using post-its as shown in the picture. You can make it even lovelier by being creative. You can also use multi-colour post-it slips and write loving words on each slip.

A simple kiss on the mirror and words of love written on it will give his libido a boost first thing in the morning.

This is also a wonderful Valentines Day idea. If you know he is going to use the washroom, take a steam bath and use your finger to write the message on the mirror. It will also save you from cleaning the mirror later.

3. Vakentine day Break Fast

Food is the way to your man’s heart. Begin your day with the breakfast he loves to have. It all depends on his tastes. You can carry his breakfast tray loaded with all the goodies he loves to his bed. Here are a few ideas for his breakfast tray.

If your man is a fitness freak and never skips his daily dose of fruit engrave “I love you” on his apple.

Else you can have a fruit plate loaded with his favorite fruits arranged in the shape of a heart. You need to be imaginative and arrange it in a way that is likely to fascinate him.

If he prefers savories over sweets when it comes to breakfast, why not serve an egg sunny side up on a heart shaped toast with deep fried bacon.  Remember its all about creativity.

Toasted bread and an egg with the sunny side up for those who are not fond of red meat.

Heart shaped pancakes, or arranging strips of bacon in the shape of a heart and filling it with scrambled eggs are also good Valentines Day gifting ideas.

If he relishes idlis, you can steam idlis and then use a heart shaped cookie cutter to make heart shaped idlis.  You can also use a  heart shaped idli mold to steam your idlis. Serve chutney or sambar in small heart shaped bowls. Let your imagination run wild as to how you’re going to treat your sweetheart to a hearty breakfast this Valentine’s Day.

4. Heart Shaped Garlands – Unique Valentine’s Day gifting idea

Wake your Valentine up in the wee hours of the morning with a heart shaped floral arrangement using rose petals on the dinner table. Add zing to the romance with lit small scented tea lights interspersed with floral petals.

On the corner of the dressing table mirror or washroom mirror stand, have a heart shaped garland with red rose petals and place a red rose bud diagonally. Your Valentine would appreciate the fragrance wafting from these petals. A unique Valentines Day gifting idea,  don’t you agree?

Take one of his close colleagues into confidence and make arrangements to prepare a wreath in the shape of heart on his work table with red rose buds. Leave a small gift in the centre with a loving message. Remember, his office is likely to know about your love for him. This would be a wonderful and great Valentine gifting idea. Not to mention, a great start to a romantic day.

Though this may sound childish, it is a unique and personalized gift for your man this Valentines day. You can even tie a bunch of heart shaped balloons on either side of the bedpost or bedside tables.

You can pick up balloons with such messages and gift it to him. If there is no bedpost, then how about tying it to the dining table chair?
