Buying something special for someone special has always been a challenge. How do you find a gift that lets your steady know
how you feel about them? You don't want to send out the wrong message with a gift that is "too much" or, even worse, "too little."
This is not to suggest that you have to spend a lot of money - the most meaningful gifts always come from the heart - but
rather to point out that the gift should reflect the depth of the relationship. For a new relationship, something fun and flirty is best,
for a more serious relationship something reflective and chosen according to a shared history is in order. We have assembled
ten items that are sure to make your significant other smile; now it is up to you to decide which one of the ten fits best!

1) Claddagh Ring
This traditional irish "friendship" ring is the perfect gift if you are in a serious relationship. The rich tradition of the ring,
and the meaning behind the way it is worn, add to it's charm. The rings can be very simple or more ornate and there is a claddagh
ring to fit every budget. Can be worn by both girls and guys. Find out all about the history and meaning of the claddagh ring.

2) Cologne
Sure, it's cliche, but it really isn't the generic gift that many people think it is. The scent you choose should reflect your
partner's personality and can make a bold statement about how well you really know them. Be daring and pick out something
new, or play it safe and buy a bottle of his regular cologne. Either way, the gift is sure to go over well, and there is something
for every budget. We especially like Tommy Hilfiger's TOMMY FOR MEN
and Givenchy's GENTLEMAN.

3) Shoes by DR. MARTIN
That's right... shoes! Dr. Martins, a.k.a. "Docs" are a classic in good taste and comfort. Available
in a wide variety of styles and prices, there is something for every personality type. Choose the original fave, the 8-hole lace up or something
a little bit funkier, like the Monk Strap dress shoe.
Add to the gift with a night out on the town, with lots of dancing so he can really break in his classy new kicks.

6) Gourmet Cookies
This gift is best if you bake them yourself, but if you are just
not good in the kitchen there is nothing wrong with buying something really decadent like
Madelines or
anything chocolate dipped.
Show your sweeter side with this uncomplicated gift that you can enjoy together. Throw in a romantic starlight stroll and some hot chocolate
and you can't go wrong!

7) Prince the Frog
Help him let out his inner child with a cool TY Beanie frog. "Prince" is cute, cuddly and full of magic - everything
you want him to think about when he thinks of you. This cool dude will let him know that you see the prince underneath the frog! We like
the frog, but if you have a more meaningful choice, there are lots of
other beanies available.

8) "Lord of the Rings"
The movie is poised to amaze at the box office, so why not give him an exclusive behind the scenes look at the story that started it all.
"Lord of the Rings" has everything that guys love with a bit of romance on the side. Get him to read the story aloud to you
under the light of the moon for a romantic "bonus gift" for two.

9) A Cool NEW Coat
Since a great coat can make an outfit, it is a fitting place to start when buying your guy a gift of clothing. Pick out one of these
great jackets based on your guys fashion sense (or the fashion sense you wish he had). Don't forget to make sure that the coat looks
as good on you as it does on him... every gentleman is always ready to lend his coat to a lady!

10) DVD: A Knight's Tale
Stars Heath Ledger as a man determined to "change his stars." Take a little rock 'n roll, some stellar stunts, a romantic
medieval setting and a great ensemble cast, and you have a movie that guys and girls are sure to love. Add some microwave popcorn and a bottle of pop and make a date of it. Settle in for cheers, tears and lots
of laughs. Also available in VHS.
