Valentine’s gifts 2010

    Valentine Bear

    爱心熊仔


    The Godiva Valentine’s Day Bear is a perfectly cuddly way to express love and affection this February 14. This plush white bear arrives with a red rose bow tie around his neck and is holding a bag of wrapped chocolates to make this the sweetest Valentine’s Day  ever.       

    Sweet chocolates 

    甜蜜巧克力

    Chocolates are a great noncommittal gift. Give her a box that emits class, not something from the drugstore. Consider a variety box if unsure whether she is a caramel girl or more into truffles.

    Heart-shaped pendant 

    心型垂饰

    Pendants were practically designed for giving to new girlfriends. They are sweet but not too serious, pretty but not distractingly eye-catching and tailor-made to make her swoon on a daily basis.

    Romantic flowers 

    浪漫鲜花

    While a bouquet of red roses may be a bit overzealous for a first date, other flowers may send the perfect message. Do research and choose carefully -- gardenias denote secret love and orchids denote beauty and refinement, while yellow roses mean friendship. 

    Couple cooking classes

    情侣大餐

    Finding cooking classes in the area will indicate an interest in activities together, so build cooperation skills and learn a new art.9

    Heart-shaped puzzle 

    心型拼图

    Crafted of sturdy puzzle board, it features a glossy “Hugs and Kisses” design with two message hearts in the center that can be personalized with any pair of names.

    Romantic dinner for two

    双人晚餐

    For those uninterested in cooking by themselves, try a romantic dinner for two. A Le Meridien Xiamen buffet at the five-star hotel is a wonderful way to express love and share a special moment in an elegant setting with one’s beloved partner. 

    Hand-dipped strawberries

    手工草莓

    Strawberries in chocolate are a trademark seduction treat. They wonderfully mix romance and sexual fantasy but are not as obvious as lingerie. Buy these pretty, tasty treats, and prepare to nestle down and share. Or better yet -- make them at home.
