The gift is almost as, if not more, important than the actual date.
It doesn't need to be expensive, but it does need to show that you've
put a lot of time and care into selecting it.
There is something about sweets and dating that goes hand in
hand. But with a traditional gift, such as chocolates, it's easy
to be considered out-dated and uninventive. So this time, use one
of the creative ideas below to give a standard romantic favorite
a new feel!
 1. Make
a candy love letter.Write a love letter out of candy bar titles.
Get a piece of brightly colored poster board and a bunch of your
favorite candy bars. Write your love letter on the board in a contrasting
colored pen. Replace key words with candy bars taped onto the poster
board.
2. Chocolate
bouquet.Get your love's favorite chocolates and thick wood skewers.
You'll also need a box or basket and a piece of styrofoam cut to
fit inside the box or basket. Cut the skewers in half with a small
saw and lightly sand down the blunt ends. Stick a chocolate on the
top of each blunt end. Then stick the pointed end into the stryofoam
piece. Cover the stryofoam with moss or ribbon.
3. Neverending
chocolate box.Get a set of boxes that fit inside of each other.
The more you can get to fit inside of each other the better. Buy
your love's favorite chocolates or sweets and some tissue paper.
Line each box with tissue paper and place one chocolate or sweet
inside of it. Then cover it with another piece of tissue paper.
Keep doing this until you've filled all your boxes. If you have
more chocolates than boxes, start with one chocolate in the first
and more in each box following.
4. Trail
of chocolates.Get quite a few bags of chocolates, some tissue paper
and curling ribbon. Layer two pieces of tissue paper and place one
handful of candy in the middle of it. Pull up the sides and tie
a piece of curling ribbon around it. Repeat this until all the candy
but one bag is left. Put your bags of candy in a stategic location
with a love letter in front of them. Then make a trail from wherever
your love will be to the candy pile. This is a great "wake-up"
surprise!
5. Chocolate
roses.Combine the classic favorites together and give your love
a bouquet of chocolate roses. Attach a note saying, "I decided
to give you these chocolate roses instead of real ones because our
love is something that should be sweet and savored."
