Romantic Valentine gifts
A Handwritten letter
How about expressing your heartfelt feelings in a handwritten love letter. This is very romantic!
You could write it on some ‘Romantic’ paper, like this Eco Petal Handmade Writing Paper from Etsy.
A custom song
Throughout the years many a potential lover has been wooed with a song! How about writing a poem or a song for yours.
You could even hire a professional songwriter, like from this custom song website.
A Star Map Print
How about a custom star map that shows the night sky on a special date, such as your first date, or an anniversary.
Here is one I found on Etsy.
A Message in a Bottle
A personalised love letter in a bottle would be a Romantic gift.

Experience gifts
A year of Dates
This year of dates is really good, it has 52 sealed date cards and 5 blanks to add your own ideas to ensure it will last all year.
Private Candlelight Dinner
Create a restaurant-like setting at home with fairy lights and their favourite dinner.
You could even create tickets, like these from Zazzle.
Theatre Trip
Take them to the theatre, perhaps a meal before, and a night in a hotel. All this needn’t cost loads, check out these deals at Theatre direct.
A Walk and a Picnic
This would be my favourite. A walk, or perhaps bike ride, followed by a picnic. Although it is February so a sandwich and flask of tea inside the car may be the reality.
If you are going for the romantic picnic idea, get yourself a hamper like this one from Amazon.
A Cooking class for Two
Learn a new cuisine together and enjoy the meal as part of the experience.
