The most romantic Christmas gifts for women

by Lorelei Cohen

You just know that a twinkling diamond ring is the most romantic gift that a woman can find waiting for her under the Christmas tree, but if that is a little out of budget for your lady this year, there are a few other very romantic gifts that you can present her with this year.

Dream catchers are a very romantic gift. They are a simple circle frame that is filled with a mesh webbing, and decorated with long flowing feathers, and beads. These charms insure that a sleeping person can only experience good dreams during their slumber. Originally designed by the Ojibwa peoples to protect their children from nightmares, a dream catcher consisted of a willow tear or circle shape, netted inside with sinew just as a snowshoe would be. This net was then decorated with feathers, and other ornaments, and hung above the bed to catch the sleepers dreams. Good dreams could filter through the web and slide down the feathers to enter the sleepers dreams. Nightmares or bad dreams could not filter through the net, and remained trapped within the web, thus insuring only good dreams for the person who owned the dream catcher. This traditional charm is now a popular theme for people of all ages. When a man gives a dream catcher to his lady in order to insure her a peaceful dream filled slumber, this gift shows a deep concern and care for his lady, and this makes for a very romantic gift. Dream catchers come in a wide array of themes and colors.

Another very romantic gift idea is to present the one you love with a guardian angel. There are guardian angel pins, charms, necklaces, and statuettes all of which are delightfully beautiful. This sentimental gift is designed to protect her from harm and shows that you care enough to want to keep her safe at all times. There is just something magical about receiving a guardian angel from a loved one. It makes a person feel safer just knowing that someone else out there is watching over them. Notepaper, notebooks, calendars, mouse pads, and hundreds of other useful accessories also come in the guardian angel theme and make excellent accompanying articles for your main gift.

A gift of eleven long stemmed red roses accompanied by one long stemmed white rose is one of the most romantic gestures that you can bestow upon your lady. Everyone knows that red roses symbolize love, and are a loving gift to give to your lady, but a white rose is the ultimate romantic gesture. Symbolizing innocence, or purity of heart, a white rose gleaming from amid the other dark red buds is a very special tribute to the lady who receives it.

Believe it or not, chocolate is romantic, especially if your lady is a choco-aholic like so many out there are. But don't choose just any old box of chocolates. Hunt out something delightfully exquisite. Fine dark chocolates in a delicate shape, cherry chocolates, cashew or hazel nuts enclosed in chocolate, flower or heart shaped chocolates, or tiny bite sized cupid chocolates are all very delightful. Choose carefully and you'll find the right ones.

If you know your special lady's favorite singer, than tickets to an upcoming concert can be very romantic, especially if the concert is an out of town event. Mini vacations away from the little stresses of every day living are always romantic.

If you are a couple who are intimate with each other than a certificate for a night at a local hotel is perfect. Romantic get-a-ways are not only a wonderful way to get close to each other, but also a delightful way to show her just how much you appreciate her, by providing a gift that pampers her. Don't forget to start your romantic date off with a nice supper at a fine restaurant as this sets the mood for the remainder of the evening.

A baby puppy or kitty is a sweet gift to give, but keep in mind that this is a gift only to be given, when it will be truly wanted and appreciated. Cuddly teddy bears clutching gold or diamond jewelery, glass perfume bottles holding glittery sands and a gift certificate, or a beautiful wooden box in which lie the keys to your apartment, only you can choose the perfect romantic gift for the lady that is in your life. Being romantic is really just a matter of showing her how much you care. Let your gift say "I love You" to her.
