Valentine's Day is just about the corner. So what do you plan to get her this year? Perhaps you are sick of doing the same old "red roses and a box of chocolates" thing and you prefer to create this year a Valentine's Day she will remember without spending a fortune.

So, here are the top three things every woman desires for Valentine's Day. You might be surprised!

1. A Show of Effort
   Every woman wants to know that her man has put a little bit of effort into creating a special Valentine's Day. They prefer to see that there was some time spent in planning the evening and not about how much money was spent. In fact, it is even better to spend more time than money on Valentine's Day.
   
   Plan a special evening that needs some forethought and preparation. Women feel that you just stopped at the local flower shop to collect some roses on your way home. Gift her a night devoted to what she wants and desires, do not just throw something together at the last moment.
   
   
2. Proof You Listen to Her and Know What She Likes
   One of your most important jobs in the relationship as a man, is to listen to your woman. Every woman drops hints now and than in casual talk. For instance, if you are both out shopping, she might see a bunch of tulips, and say "I just love tulips! Pink tulips are my favorite flowers." The best thing you can do is listen to that information, store it, and recall it later on.
   
   So, rather than buying the standard red roses on Valentine's Day, buy her pink tulips instead. As she probably already gas forgotten that she told you, she will be impressed that you knew about her favorite pink tulips. Even if she remembers, she will appreciate that you thought back of this and that you took all the hassle to surprise her with her favorite flowers.
   
   Certainly, this doesn't just work for the flowers. You can implement this for anything, like a certain food she loves, a hotel or hideaway she would like to take with you, a piece of jewelry she adores, or maybe something way-out as she probably desired to learn ballroom dancing. Sign both of you up for some lessons, and she will appreciate it. There are so many possibilities to make Valentine's Day memorable if you just listen to her.
   
   
3. Pamper Her
   Every woman loves to be pampered. A few women may not be used to it, or they probably don't even know that they like, but I promise you, all women will love it. No, a gift certificate to the spa is not the one I am talking about and here's why. When you pamper a woman you are taking care of her. You are making her feel good, and by doing the pampering yourself, you are expressing your love. But in which way can you pamper her? Every woman is different and likes some things more than others. So, listen to her and remember what she likes. Also you can ask her early enough. But here are some suggestions to get you going.
   
   You can prepare a bubble bath for two including candles and champagne. If she doesn't like this, you might think of getting a small bottle of massage oil, get her into her bath robe and give her a back massage. If she is a woman who is most of the day on her days on her feet, consider to give her a pedicure.
   

Which ever way you pamper her, it should be done just for her enjoyment and it is not just meant to be a way to get her warmed up for sex. If it leads that way, then all the better. But remember to pamper her exclusively with the purpose of making her feel good. Women have a sense for it, if they are being primed for sex or if it is a true act of kindness.

The key to everything is to listen to her and to find out what she really likes and than plan an evening dedicated to her desires. Surprise her with her preferred things rather than the ordinary red Valentines roses, chocolates, and teddy bears. If you spend some time and effort to prepare this Valentine's Day, it will be a night that she will remember and brag to her friends about.

Because of this decision, Claudius dictated the outlaw of marriage for young men, whom he regarded as potential soldiers. Valentine recognized the unfairness of such an order and refused Claudius’s command by proceeding to do marriages for young lovers, although it was dangerous for himself. As Claudius observed the actions of Valentine, he ordered to put him to death straight away.

Some other legends admit that Valentine was killed while he was trying to assist Christians get out of rough Roman prisons. These Christians were most probably being battered as well as tortured once in a while. Now you are probably asking yourself what this has to do with a holiday that is such a popular day for lovers. When granting the legend right, the first Valentine greeting was actually sent by Valentine himself. It is sad, that as he stayed in prison, Valentine fell in love with a young girl. She was probably his capturers daughter and visited him regulary.

It is supposed, that just before Valentine’s death, he composed a love letter ot her, which he signed with the expression "From your Valentine". This expression is still used nowadays on Valentine’s Day and is signed at the bottom of Valentine cards or Valentine gifts. Although the real truth behind the Valentine legends is still somewhat of a mystery, it is clear why Valentine is regarded as a fearless, compassionate, and romantic person. Through the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints throughout England and France.
