The Top 5 Most Romantic Valentine's Day Gifts for Your Wife

For the Woman Who Has Everything

1. Orchids

In lieu of the more cliché, traditional roses, try exotic orchids. An orchid corsage or arrangement is sure to make an impression. Phaelonopsis, or moth orchids are easy to grow and maintain. They require little care and watering and will add a taste of the tropics to any home décor.

2. Coupons for chores

The best gift you can give a woman is time for her self. Give her handmade coupons to redeem for chores around the house that can be redeemed anytime of the year, not just on Valentine's Day. These can be as simple or fancy as you like; try printing out the coupons on your computer, or having the children design and draw their own coupons. Many women feel that household chores are a thankless job; By pledging to contribute more time to share domestic duties, you are acknowledging her self-worth, and your wallet will thank you for it.

3. Pets

If your wife hinted for wanting a puppy or kitten for Christmas, perhaps now is the time to think about getting her that bundle of joy she's been yearning for. It will show you are ready to take the next commitment in your relationship while keeping you off the hook for the pitter patter of little feet you may not be ready for at this point.

4. Photographic Restoration

With the new decade upon us, a truly romantic gift would be to show your wife how much you treasure her past as well as her future with a restored photograph. Contact her relatives if you don't have any on hand; an extra special touch for an additional fee, would be resizing a small photograph to a larger one. For the piece de resistance, choose a feminine frame; something with a mother of pearl finish or Cubic Zircon.

5. Tickets to a Professional Sports or Entertainment Venue

Check online to see when your wife's favorite band or musician is in town. Chances are, most women have a favorite sports team, and or musician that they love. Surprising her with tickets will show her that you have been listening to all those hints she has been dropping. If the concert is in the future, just remember she will have something to look forward to and inevitably, buy a new outfit for.
