This list has some fabulous ideas for gifts between friends, family, and lovers.
1. Book cover.
This gift idea is both simple and can be homemade for very few dollars. First you can make it out of sturdy fabric and a sewing machine. This is probably the quicker way to make a book cover. Measure and cut the fabric to be long enough to wrap the book and provide book flaps. Sew edges to keep from unraveling, add ribbon to the top to use as a bookmark,
The other way is to crochet the book cover. If you’re looking for a project to learn crocheting on this is more functional and cooler than most ideas all you need to do is cast on a row the length of the trade or mass paperback book and continue with single crochet until it is long enough to wrap around the book plus extra for the flaps. Finish it off by crocheting around the edges. You can even crochet a book mark! This style is very elegant.
2. Digital Reader.
Get the reader in your life an eBook reader. There are several types out there. The most popular are Sony Reader
3. Movie and Dessert.
At home or out as a date, this is a lovely idea. If you’re planning this for at home you can buy some fruit and melt some chocolate for an impromptu fondue in front of the screen. Turn the lights off, light some candles, and indulge in a little romance. Or if you’re afraid of burning the chocolate turn this idea into an experience. Go out for ice cream before or after the movie and pick a film you wouldn’t see if it wasn’t for her. Hold hands in the movie and or eat your ice cream walking around and holding hands. Take the time to pull yourself and her out of the world of schedules and things that need to be done to make the evening truly special.
4. Pamper basket.
Include some bubble bath, lotion, candles, and a book. Provide all the necessary goods to give her an evening away from it all. For a little extra add some redeemable you-time coupons like a massage, back scrub, or for a little more heat give her the choice and control of how you’ll make love. Let her escape to ecstasy.
5. Give some books.
Giving the romance lover in your life more books in the genre that they like is sure to be a hit. Don’t worry yourself with titles or authors. The idea here is your support of their addiction! Just go to the bookstore and select some you think are fun and interesting. Bestsellers are a good bet if you’re completely lost. If the reader in your life has a digital reader, perhaps a gift certificate to an ePublisher is better. That way they could buy and download some books for their reader.
