This gift box comes in an exciting, springy color that positively screams “Happy First Date!” and is a great gift that your date can sinfully enjoy. With 24 assorted pieces in every box, there's a fair chance that at least a dozen of the chocs will be his or her favorite types. And then, hopefully, you’ll be granted a second date... If so, perhaps you two can indulge in another box of these scrumptious chocolates together. Youre The Best Candle Price: $45 Buy at: www.redenvelope.com Why: This beautiful jasmine-scented candle literally states “You’re The Best,” which will make your date feel extra special from the very start. It is accompanied by a short story that will add to the sentimental aspect of the gift, and it has a cool re-usable leather box to ensure it's a keepsake gift. Now all you need to do is make sure you keep his or her special feelings burning like the candle's flame, and then a second date will be guaranteed. Italian Lavender-Scented Stones Price: $18 Buy at: www.redenvelope.com Why: These pretty-smelling stones are is a gift that lasts forever and ever, unlike a clichéd bouquet of flowers. The jar also comes in handy for millions of fun household uses, such as scenting the laundry room, linen closet, and more. 25 pumice stones are carefully scented promoting relaxation of the mind... Groovy, man! Day Spa Basket Price: $42 Buy at: www.redenvelope.com Why: This gift says “take time out for yourself, you deserve it.” A neatly woven basket, jam-packed with Tipton Charles spa treats, it's the perfect “take a break” gift. Eucalyptus bath salts, basil nectarine body lotion, black mud facial soap, rejuvenating spring water and sweet candies make up the ultimate relaxation basket. While your date unwinds with this in-house spa treatment, without doubt, he or she will be thinking of you... Truth Vase from Maya Buy at: www.Hallmark.com Why: This vase is all about honesty, promoted by the simple and poetic message printed on the exterior. Watch out though, because truth will be expected by your date, so don't play any games after buying this gift. But, of course, a loyal person has nothing to worry about... You will seem like an open-hearted person when delivering this thoughtful gift. Your Favorite Indie Movie Price: $12-30 Buy at: www.iFilm.com Why: Hopefully you and your date will share similar movie preferences (tip - don't buy them a kung-fu movie, or the latest slasher pic, if you have any doubt whether they like that kind of thing!). Naturally, when you give your date a DVD or video, it's most likely that you'll get invited back to watch the movie with him or her. So, then you two can cuddle up, while watching a romantic movie, or laugh hysterically at a comedy. Either way, you are enjoying each other's company. Share Your Favorite Book Price: Varies Buy at: Borders, Barnes and Noble Why: Your taste in books can help your date get to know the 'real' you, because there’s nothing like a good book. One can tell a lot from the type of book a person likes, and perhaps if you both have a similar taste in page-turners, then you will move on to the next chapter in your blossoming romance. Hersheys Bear Price: $32.99 Buy at: www.giftsense.com Why: This is a “to-die-for” teddy bear, with a squeezable plush body. Man or woman, you’ll definitely go all soft and gooey for this adorable, huggable, stuffed bear. His fluffy hands hold an enlarged stuffed Hershey’s Kiss and a 7” solid chocolate kiss accompanies the 13” tall teddy as well. This gift is sweet all the way around, and certainly will bring a big smile to your date’s face. You Brighten My Day Cookies Price: $39.99 Buy at: www.giftsense.com Why: This mouth-watering gift comes with six enormous assorted flavored cookies. And you can even add your own personalized message... The sun décor says “you brighten my day” which is a cute way to let your date know how you feel. Moreover, after devouring the fresh baked cookies, courtesy of the Blooming Cookies kitchens, the ceramic vase can be used in the household or office as a flower pot... Nice. 24kt gold Dipped Rose Price: $59 Buy at: www.romanceher.com Why:If you can't say it with flowers, say it with a solid Gold flower! This gift will totally express your creative romantic side too. It is absolutely keepsake material and will look nice in any room in your date’s house. Platinum and silver vases are available as well on this website. Now, you can be like TV's The Bachelor or Bachelorette and give a rose to your date - a rose they can actually keep forever!

Pass along one of your own family traditions, such as bringing an iron cricket on the hearth for good luck, a wreath to symbolize hospitality, or a guest book to record events and celebrations.
Give the Gift of Memories
Bring a photo album of your special times together. On the last page leave a space for a photo of their new home and write: "To be continued..." This can be an inexpensive gift that will be treasured now and in the future.
Transform the Ordinary
Flowering plants, green plants, plant baskets, or fresh flower arrangements can be a pretty ordinary gift -- or they can be
spectacular
. Choose, make, or order something really lush and gorgeous, decorated with bows, balloons, or ornaments, and placed in a beautiful container.
One Big Beautiful
... take your pick: vase, bowl, basket, cache pot, coffee table book, pitcher, or tray . Most people can use another one of these. Choose simple classic shapes and colors, or make it something special for a current holiday such as a blue bowl decorated with white stars for July 4th or a vase etched with little hearts for a housewarming close to Valentine's Day.
The Bad
Scraggly plants
Never give a plant or floral arrangement that looks like it has seen better days. This can be an additional problem in very hot or very cold weather too, since fresh greens can wilt quickly in temperature extremes. And never give a plant to someone who will have no interest in looking after it.
Pets
Never give something so personal as a pet, unless you know for a fact that this would be a welcome gift. Pets will demand a time and care commitment that many people are too busy to give.
Food
Be careful with food gifts. Candy will be all wrong for someone watching calories, while fresh fruit will be wasted if the recipients have an out of town trip coming up. Only when you know the person well can appropriate food items be chosen that will be welcomed.
Don't Ignore Their Taste
Perhaps you love antiques but your friends love contemporary. Don't force your preferences on them with an unwelcome gift of something only you think they "should" like. Chances are the gift will be a dud. Better to go with something "ordinary" than to strike out completely.
Recycled Gifts
Don't ever (repeat after me) -- don't ever give a gift that you've already received yourself, then rewrapped for someone else. It's tacky, and eventually someone will probably figure out what happened, then everyone will be embarassed.
