• Valentine's Day: Fun to celebrate, difficult to shop for. Sometimes, the usual suspects - flowers and candy - are all it takes to please your main squeeze. But relationships are also unique, and often the best Valentine gift is the one that follows Cupid's arrow in a completely unexpected direction. Here are some ways to think about shopping for your amour. 

Get Personal Get Personal

• Plenty of services offer personalized gifts for couples. Your partner may swoon when she reads a romance novel personalized with both of your names, or a bound book written specifically to tell your very own love story. There are even personalized letters in bottle for the partner who can't resist a good love note.

Get Adventurous Get Adventurous

•  It's been proven that new experiences spice up romantic relationships and strengthen the bond between two people. The best Valentine gift for your love may be a trip to a far off land - or even an airplane jump!

Get Visual Get Visual

• They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but there are really only three that matter most on Valentine's Day. Say, "I love you," in countless ways with photos from a favorite shared vacation, your wedding, or even your first date emblazoned on a home accessory, framed elegantly for the wall, or bound beautifully for the coffee table.

Get Tactile Get Tactile

• Spa goodies are fun for couples who want to spend Valentine's Day indoors. Pamper each other with massages, face masks, and exfoliants. Up the ante with at-home spa gadgets, and throw cozy robes and vintage wines into the mix.
