How to give him a fine chocolate Valentines gift, and be socially conscious at the same time.

There seems to be an impression that chocolate is only a gift given to women. Nothing could be further from the truth. Chocolate makes a fine Valentines gift for men. Of course there are men who don’t like chocolate, (true, I met one once) and there are women who don’t like chocolate (though I don’t think I’ve met one yet!)

I just love chocolate, and I love getting great chocolate as a gift, (along with fudge, toffee, cake etc)

I’ve come across a great website offering fine chocolate for sale, and it’s fair trade chocolate as well. This is a UK site, so the perfect place for my UK readers to buy.

I’ve written about Fair trade goods before, the perfect way for a socially or environmentally conscious person to buy their gifts in a responsible way.

Fine chocolate is just that, fine, or extremely high quality chocolate. The best chocolate.

Find some of the finest at the Chocolate Trading co. Dedicated to the principles of fair trade, and producing fine high quality chocolate for the UK market.

Little messages can be fun, tell him something you want to tell him, and a cheap and effective way to have a great Valentines Day.

Sometimes you need to put a little effort into a Valentines Day. Sometimes it’s not enough to just find a gift, package it up, and give it to him.

Here’s a cheap and effective way to have a wonderful Valentines Day. It’s free in fact. And if you do this you should have a wonderful day.

Send him secret messages. For example you might put a special morning message in his car for him to find when he gets in to go to work.

Maybe get a workmate to put one on his desk, or perhaps in a drawer, or some other place at work he might find it.

Combine it with a message in a bottle if you wish, that’s also a very effective way of conveying a Valentines Day message to him. A message in a bottle is a romantic and successful Valentines Day gift. Think of a creative place to put his message in a bottle for him to find during the day.

Perhaps put one in his lunch, or briefcase, or some other place you know he’ll find it. Shoes, socks, coat, there’s so many possibilities.

And you can be as inventive as you wish with your messages. Say anything you want. Perhaps make it a progression of messages, each one leading on to the next.

If you know he’ll find them in order then you can lead him to the end of the day with a final message about a Valentines gift that he will get when he gets home.

I’ll bet he won’t be late home that day.

Sometimes you want to tell a man that he’s your best friend. Here’s a Valentines gift that says you’re friends.

There are all sorts of relationships between men and women, and it’s not every woman who wants to send a romantic or sexy message to a man on Valentines Day. Sometimes a woman just wants to say “you’re my best friend”.

To find a Valentines Day gift for him that tells him how special he is and how much he means as a friend.

I’ve found a wonderful way to do that. It’s called the friendship stone.

The “friendship stone” is a South African “Tigers Eye” stone, a beautiful stone with all sorts of different colors and hues. They look wonderful, and make a beautiful and unusual Valentines day gift for a good friend.

(And personally I think they make a fine romantic Valentines gift as well.)

Cathy Raff, the founder of the friendship stone website tells more on the site about the story of how her find of the Tigers Eye stone in South Africa became a symbol of friendship.

They aren’t expensive, and come with a lovely pouch, a brochure explaining more about the origins of the stone, and a gift card.

Sometimes a cheap Valentines Day gift can be the best gift of all. You just need to get creative.

There seems to be this impression that to find a great Valentines gift for him you need to spend up big. Nothing could be further from the truth. Often cheap Valentines Day gifts can be the best Valentines Day gifts. Free is even better.

You need to think a little out of the box to come up with creative gift ideas. Spend some time thinking and you’ll come up with all sorts of creative and very cheap Valentines Day gift ideas that won’t cost an arm and a leg, and are often free.

Start by thinking about what it is that you want to say to him with your gift. It all comes down to the relationship the 2 of you have. You need to know exactly what to express that is appropriate for your relationship. A creative gift, or for that matter an expensive gift, is no use if it doesn’t tell him what you want to tell him.

Here’s 4 free or extremely cheap Valentines Day gift ideas. Remember though, you need to select one that says something that is appropriate to the relationship you both have.

1. Food.

Men love good food too, just like women. And there’s no reason why some really great food isn’t a wonderful Valentines Day gift, and cheap. And creative.

And you can tailor your food gift to say what you want it to. Looking to get a little better aquainted but don’t know him all that well yet? Why not cook something absolutely fantastic for him, like toffee or fudge, and give it to him along with an appropriately worded Valentines card. Impress him with your skills and make sure you both get to eat it together in a wonderful location.

And if your relationship is more advanced food can be a fantastic, and cheap, sexy Valentines gift. Make some chocolate mousse for example, and suggest you both eat it together in front of the fire by candlelight. Perhaps if you’re daring you might suggest that mousse is fun to spread on each other, and to lick off.

Be as creative as you want, it’s all up to your imagination. And it’s extremely cheap. And I can tell you as a man, if I got that gift for Valentines day I’d love it. I couldn’t think of too many men who wouldn’t.

2. Recreate your first date together, or the first time you met.

Your first date or the time you met can be an extremely romantic time, later. It’s always nice to look back on, and a wonderful way to celebrate Valentines Day is to recreate it exactly.

I love finding creative Valentines Day gifts that are totally unique.

Finding unusual gift ideas can be a lot of fun. Whether it’s for Valentines day or some other occasion, I get a real kick out of finding something quite unique.

And here’s a Valentines Day gift idea that’s about as creative and unique as it gets. A romantic Valentines Day gift idea on steroids.

It’s a Valentines Day message written in sand, accompanied by a special certificate recording the message. A momentary sandmessage of love.

I’m sure you get the idea from the photos I’ve put up. Your own message recorded in the most ephemeral way, there today and gone tomorrow, but also recorded by certificate forever.

Written in the beach sand of the Meditteranean, following in the tradition begun by the legend of Jose’ the fisherman. You can read about the legend on the sandmessage website.

All that’s needed from you is to dream up the most creative and romantic Valentines message that you can that will set your mans heart racing.
