Valentine's Day Is Special And Deserve A Special Gift

By Paul Cleary


Valentine is a special day that is held dearly by many people, if not most, throughout the world. It is a day for people in love to express their love for one another. It has been used as a very efficient marketing tool by firms all over. They have attached a very monetary aspect to the sentimental feeling of this day. This in turn has made this a day that is filled with giving gifts and offering other very expensive favors.

For a long time, it has been considered the responsibility of the man to shower his lady with gifts, but times have changed. Nowadays it is the responsibility of both the partners to offer gifts to one another. Gifts that are most commonly given include flower, especially red roses, chocolate and for those with cash to spare, lots and lots of jewelry. There is also the trips to various breathtaking destinations, and candlelit dinners with expensive food and drink. Many couples however find this boring and opt to spice it up.

A good and unique gift idea is an oil painting. Oil paintings have a certain regal feel to them, since they were very common in the aristocracy, and still are. They are also known to last for extremely long periods of time. Giving an oil painting as a gift will show that you are not just like everybody else who follows routine.

Think of the theme of the painting and the message you want to relay. They say a picture is worth a thousand words hence the painting you choose must express clearly how you feel about your partner. For instance, a painting of a quiet brook or a relaxing beach will say how your partner makes your mind tranquil midst of all the struggles of life.

Browse through the various art shops and galleries within your area. You can also opt to go to one of the many online art studios that stock such paintings. Use your search engine to locate these and once you reach their websites go through them and see the various items they have to offer.

It is probably best that as you choose a painting that you have someone who has vast knowledge in paintings. Each and every painting has a history and a hidden message to it. By having a professional accompany you, you will be able to know the message, and in turn end up pleasing your partner, because they will see that you took the time to learn the whole meaning behind the painting.

The painting that you choose will be even more special if it has a personal touch added to it. This may be a poem or a line that you have written to your lover. To make it even more special, you can have a portrait of the both of you done, especially a moment that the both of you spent together and really enjoyed.

Now that you have all that settled, it is time for you to go ahead and surprise your partner with the gift you have bought for them. You can do this at a time when they least expect it, such as when they are at work. Hand it over to them with a poem or a quote to show them how much you treasure and love them. Take your time and choose the best gifts.
