Are you frustrated that your relationship doesn’t have the magic and romance that it once had? Feel like you’re stuck in a rut and always doing the same things. You come home, have dinner, watch TV, and go to bed. Does this sound like you?

You’re not alone. After dating or being with someone for a long time, it’s so easy to slip into a stable and comfortable routine. However, you often lose the spark that made your relationship so special in the first place. Not to worry, here are five simple, fun and unique valentines gift ideas to reignite that magic.

1. SAY “I LOVE YOU’ IN A UNIQUE WAY: Take a book that your partner is reading and, using a pencil, underline letters in a section of the book your sweetheart has yet to read to spell out a secret message of “I Love You” or an entire love letter. Or for something really unique: You can buy special plants that grow and after 14 days display a message of your choice on the leaf. Cool or what?

2. GIVE YOUR PARTNER A MAGIC GIFT BOX: Decorate the box with a picture of the two of you or paint your names on top. You could line it with “red velvet” or a fancy silk fabric. Every month place a new small gift in the box for your beloved to discover.

3. THE GIFT OF A SPECIAL VALENTINES DATE: One thing that separates couples with ‘out of this world’ relationships, is they never stop doing new, fun and exciting things with their partner. In other words, they never stop dating and neither should you. Believe me when I say that NOTHING can rekindle the love, passion and excitement in your relationship more than going on fun and creative dates together. On this Valentines Day, spend the day doing fun things: go to the carnival, the beach, have a water fight, stare at the clouds from a grassy hill, go on a picnic, walk in the rain without raincoats and umbrellas, play in the snow, dress up in funny costumes and hit the town.

4. PLAN TO SERVE YOUR VALENTINE BREAKFAST IN BED: Write your greetings on a tent card and place it on a tray with a special breakfast. In addition to the eggs or pancakes add strawberries or another “red treat”. Your sweetheart can enjoy his or her breakfast while reading your words of love.

5. WRITE A SONG EXPRESSING YOUR LOVE: Write a song that you can sing to a favorite melody. Bring your date to a karaoke site and surprise him or her with your performance. If you are shy, do this at home.
