Whether you’ve been together forever or have just starting dating someone special, you’ll want to give her the perfect present for that special occasion, whether it’s her birthday, Christmas or Valentines Day – or better yet, for no reason at all!  A gift speaks volumes about your feelings, so you’ll want to make sure yours expresses your sentiments exactly.  A thoughtful token may just take your relationship to the next level…

The Fresh Flirtation

You’ve gone on a few dates, all of which were great.  You’d definitely like to see her again.  But is it too soon to give her a birthday/Christmas/Valentines Day present?  And do you know her well enough to get it right?  In response to the first question, if you don’t get anything, she’ll likely take it as a sign that you’re not that interested.  As for the second, simply indulge in some subtle sleuthing.  Obviously, you’re going to spend your dates talking about yourselves, so listen up.  Get her something that reflects her interests – stylish printed garden tools for a green-fingered goddess or a beautifully bound journal for a budding novelist.  A chance to create her own perfume is ideal for a fragrance fanatic – and you certainly won’t be getting her something she either already has or totally hates!  Luxury toiletries and delicious chocolates are also a safe bet – they’ll provide her with enjoyable experiences that she’ll associate with you, without being too commitment-heavy.

The Old Friends, New Lovers

You’ve known each other forever, but have only recently made that age-old transition from friends to lovers.  And it’s fantastic.  However, while you used to be happy giving her fun and friendly presents, this year you want to give her something that acknowledges your new kind of relationship.  Jewellery is the best option, particularly as you’re likely very familiar with her tastes – something unique and beautiful will appropriately convey your feelings, as well as be something she can cherish.  Silver love tokens are also suitable, as are classically romantic gestures such as a dozen red roses or naming a rose or star for her.  She’ll get the message!

The Love-a-Holics

Ah, the first flush of new love!  You just can’t get enough of each other, and your friends are constantly begging you to ‘get a room’.  So maybe you should do just that!  Book your sweetheart a deluxe short break or go all out and treat her to a jet set day.  There’s no better time to see the country (or the world!) than when you’re completely head over heels – a gift of fashionable travel accessories would be the perfect complement to any ticket.  Take along some sensuous items, such as a sexy silk chemise or an earthly delight pleasure box, which will transform any room into a pleasure paradise… maybe you don’t need to go anywhere after all…

The Newlyweds

You’ll want to make the first special occasion you share as a married couple totally unforgettable.   The Cupid’s London eye exclusive is unbeatably romantic and will set the tone for the rest of the evening.  A romantic picnic would be just as affective, particularly with the addition of some fine wine or champagne.  Pearl and mother-of-pearl jewellery pieces are perfect, due to the associations between pearls and newlyweds.  Quirky or gorgeous items for your marital home, such as a love toaster or rose vase are also ideal, as they represent your shared present and future – without the slightest whiff of bored domesticity!

The Comfortable Couple

You are now completely comfortable with each other – maybe too comfortable.  It’s time to take a walk on the wild side and inject some spice into your cosy coupledom.  Mixing it up in the boudoir is a tried and tested remedy – 52 weeks of naughty nights or the romantic naughty weekender kit are bound to inspire even the tamest lovers!  Likewise, a saucy photographic session will likely loosen your inhibitions, as well as provide a wonderful memento for the years to come. Or perhaps try a new adventure experience for two, such as harness sphereing or karting for two – there’s nothing like a rush of adrenaline to instantly give you a new perspective on everything!

The Marathon Marrieds

First off, congratulations!  A long-lasting, loving marriage is one of life’s greatest achievements, and such couples are obviously finely attuned to each other’s needs.  A fantastic feat is worthy of a magnificent gift or gesture.  You can’t go wrong with stunning diamond jewellery – diamonds are the ultimate symbol for your eternal and enduring love.  It’s also worth treating yourselves to romantic activities, such as attending a chocolate making workshop or taking a once-in-a-lifetime ride on the Orient Express.  Simple tokens such as photo frames containing your favourite pictures of yourselves as a couple are also incredibly touching, as well as priceless.
