I think flowers are great for showing action that you truly love someone, but then flowers eventually die off. So I also believe Jewelry is good since it lasts a lifetime and the woman can look at the jewelry and remember those special moments when you gave it to her. Of course, the Romantic words are a must any time you want to just say how much you adore you woman.
However, not everyone thinks the same and some women don't mind what they get, as long as it shows you love them. So ladies, what would you think has more meaning and for those men what would you give your woman to show your affections?
To me romance is not about "gift giving" - the romance for me is when a guy expresses love and affection.
A tender hug, a caress, hand holding. A telephone call to say I miss you and was thinking about you. Kissing at a traffic light. To stop in your busy day to let me know that you care, to listen to me when I'm talking and not try to fix everything, but simply just be there for me.
Yes, gifts can be extremely thoughtful as well, but the ones I remember the most are acts of romance/love that can't be bought. To come home to a romantic dinner, to dance in the middle of the living room. To remember a special date or occasion.
To make a special time on a regular basis to simply spend quality time together as well - doesn't matter the activity but to enjoy each others company.
I love to receive letters - these are something that I can cherish and read over and over again. I've got one letter from my first boyfriend that is over 20 years old. Once in a while I'll pull it out and simply go back in time.

I would be more than happy to see the look in his eyes when he looks at me, that look that i miss so much, the look of love, no amount of presents can outdo that look..jmo..
The most romantic gift is a date completely planned, including the babysitter, front door pick up, flowers, nice dinner, moderately dressed up, smelling like... mmm....

Big_John: My dedication time and attention to her.
Well of course that´s the key to a happy relationship.
Sometimes though it´s nice to receive something out of the ordinary which serves to amplify that daily love and attention, however much it is appreciated.
For me, a surprise weekend away from the grind of work and routine etc is wonderful. It doesn´t have to be expensive or a million miles away.

Because I love to travel; this would be easy for me. I find writing little notes and leaving them where only she could find them is romantic. I once gave my wife a diamond ring for our 20th wedding anniversary because I couldn't afford it prior to that time. It took me weeks to find the right restaurant with the right lighting to ensure the diamonds would shine!

How thoughtful of you.
I agree with you about the notes. I used to put notes in my ex husbands lunch box, and my kids too, though not of the romantic kind!
I was reading recently about a well known British actor who died early this year. He was married to the same women for 58 years and sent her love notes every day. That moved me considerably.

I had written notes to my wife everytime I went on a business trip. I hid them throughout the house. After she died I found them in her dresser. She had saved every one of them. I've kept them to allow my son to find them in the future to show him a side of his Father he doesn't know.

Well I hope you find a woman who appreciates your thoughtfulness as much as your wife obviously did.

i think the most romantic gift a man can give a woman is his unconditional love, flowers die, clothes wear out and money isn't important. how to show it? it should speak for itself whenever they are near and always when apart.
