Wooing your partner on Valentines day

With the festivities of Christmas behind us the shops are already filling with cards and gifts for the next big one ? Valentine''s Day. Whether you are a fan of Valentine''s Day or not it is inarguable that it is a big day for many in the social calendar and you should be prepared for the meticulous organisation this day may require ? particularly if you are a male.

While some may consider forgetting Valentine''s Day (or any memorable day for that matter ? particularly anniversaries) an inexcusable offence there are certainly ways in which you can try to make amends. Initial, albeit obvious, suggestions include the biggest bouquet you can find ? certainly big enough to hide behind and an expensive box of chocolates.

However, if you have forgotten a special occasion these lovely, yet unoriginal gifts will not get you off the hook altogether. Here are some tips as to how to limit the damage caused by forgetting such an occasion;

Lots of smaller gifts throughout the day won''t hurt if you''re trying to get back into your partner''s good books. Perhaps prepare breakfast in the morning, arrange for a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to their place of work and then follow this with a bottle of their tipple of choice or even a beautiful piece of jewellery. This will often be enough to let you off the hook ? particularly if the jewellery is expensive enough!

Surprise gifts won''t hurt if you''re trying to get back into your partner''s good books. This can be as simple as arriving at your partner''s home or place of work armed with a bouquet of favourite flowers, a bottle of champagne or jewellery. This will often be enough to let you off the hook ? particularly if the jewellery is expensive enough!

Organise a romantic meal ? either you can opt for a restaurant that serves her favourite food or if you can''t secure a table anywhere other than your local pub (which won''t usually constitute a romantic venue) then hit the supermarket, strap on your apron and prepare a romantic feast for the two of you at home.

Try creating a romantic atmosphere at home with scented candles, relaxing music and rose petals then, following a romantic meal, first and foremost offer to do the clearing up and then settle down to an evening of your partner''s favourite DVD with the added bonus of promising not to complain.

Valentine''s Day sees 95 per cent of men saying, ''''It''s over-commercialised. I can buy flowers any day of the year''''. A good argument certainly, but there is little point in trying this if you do not splash out on a single rose, chrysanthemum or even a dandelion on any of the other 364 days of the year.
