Romantic gift ideas

Last year on Valentines day I went shopping with my sister-in-law and my husband went shopping with my brother. They told us that they wanted a sentimental gift. We walked around the mall all day. we went into every store looking for the perfect gift. Now girls you know how hard it is to find a gift for your guy. My sister-in-law had a great idea for those people out there who aren't concerned with money. She wanted to take a picture of her and my brother kissing and have it drawn. Its a great idea, so we went to find someone that would do this. We finally found a shop that does this kinda thing and he told us it would be about 2,000 dollars. We were like what?! That was out of the question for us because we had like 150 dollars to spend. So we were back to thinking. Then it came to me, I thought it would be cool to take a picture of My husband and I kissing and blow it up huge. Like a poster huge. That night we took pictures of us kissing. Kissing pictures are so romantic. It is a moment between the two of you where your not faking a smile and your not worried about how you look. If you have a blemish or something you don't have to worry because its a side shot. If you don't like your body right now, do an upper body shot. After we took the photos, the next day we went to kinko's to start making our gift. Its takes about three days to get it back maybe a little longer so plan this ahead of time. Its not expensive at all and it looks awesome. We went to get frames and you can get either a cheap frame or expensive. It doesn't matter, I got a cheap one at first and then I up graded to a really nice frame. My photo is done in black and white but color is fine too. I wrapped up all pretty and then gave it to him for valentines day. Now if your man is anything like my husband then you should probably add a little something spicy with it. He loved it. Shocking when I have people over I get more compliments from the guys than I do the girls. Guys I think like it because we all know how guys are with the bedroom stuff, and its clean but gets there mind thinking about other stuff every time they look at it. I have mine hanging in our living room but my brother put his in the bedroom. Wherever you put it its a wonderful gift. Also another great thing is if you have been together for along time and you feel like maybe your losing that love for each other, it helps keep that going. Your reminded every time you look at it, that one time your did lust after each other.
