Romance starts at home. At least it can, there’s no need to go to all sorts of exotic places to get romantic. You can be romantic anywhere you want to be with a good romantic gift idea. Because romance is in the head, not the location.

And of course you can be romantic anywhere, with a great romantic gift.

I have come across a lovely romantic gift that you can give him right in the comfort of your own home. Or anywhere else if the urge takes you.

It’s called Romance in a box from Romantic Room Designs. It is in effect a romantic gift basket for a man or a woman, and I love it.

The intention is to provide him, or you, with all you need to transform your, or his, bedroom into a romantic boudouir.

The photo I’ve included gives you an idea what you can do with your, or his, bedroom. It includes everything you need to totally transform his bedroom, or any other room you want. 200 silk rose petals. Six, frosted white heart shaped votive candles. Red Heart confetti to sprinkle around the base of the candles or on top of the bed and a “Do Not Disturb” sign to hang on the door.

Now I’m not suggesting you give him a romantic gift box at all. That would be uninteresting. What I’m suggesting is that you buy the gift basket, get it delivered so he doesn’t know about it. Open it up and use it at the perfect romantic time.

And he finds the result.

Lets think of an example.

Your anniversary is coming up. You need to find an anniversary gift for him. Maybe it’s a wedding anniversary, or the anniversary of the first day you met, or the anniversary of any day that’s important to you. An anniversary is just the celebration of a day in your life together that meant something extra special to you both.

Of course a wedding is the most common anniversary, and there is a formal and traditional list for selecting wedding anniversary gifts, with traditional and modern gift themes.

For example the traditional first wedding anniversary gift theme is paper, the modern theme is clock.

Here’s a few more anniversary gifts by year:

The first mentioned is the traditional, the second is the modern.

5 years Wood, Silver ware
10 years Pottery, Leather
15 years Crystal, Watch
20 years China, Platinum
25 years Silver, Silver
30 years Pearl, Diamond
35 years Coral, Jade
40 years Ruby, Ruby
45 years Sapphire, Sapphire
50 years Gold, Gold

So if you’re new to this then you decide what gift you are getting according to the list, and the theme. So if it’s your first wedding anniversary and you like the modern theme you buy a clock themed gift.

Personally I think that’s all a little old fashioned, but if anniversary gifts by year appeals to you then that’s great. It just doesn’t appeal to me.

I think mens jewelry, particularly a great looking and modern themed mens anniversary ring makes a great gift for him on your wedding anniversary. There are some stunning rings around for men, both for weddings and anniversaries. An anniversary ring is a great idea and is now quite a cool gift.
