Come February and begins the frantic search for startlingly 'original' ideas to celebrate Valentine's day. Each year sees a surge in the number of roses sold, the quantity of champagne ordered, the amount of bling purchased, and a definite increase in the proverbial 'love in the air'. Why should this year be any different?

For all the women out there who are pining to do that something different for their darling boyfriends, here's all the help you need. Let's get rid of the boring old stuff and bring in the new. Let's explore all that can be done to make this day as remarkable as the relationship you share with your boyfriend.
Try out these ideas and see how they work! You can use them as they are or tweak them a bit, according to your creativity.
Lights, Camera, Action!
Enact a Scene
As much as they deny it, there's got to be one romantic movie/book/play/story that every guy likes. Your guy, being as normal as they come, is bound to have one too. He's bound to have confided in you about his favorite romantic scene from this movie/book/play/story. This Valentine's day, pleasantly surprise him by replicating that particular scene. It'll take some hard work, but find a place, clothes, lighting, and of course, the exact dialogs (you may want to keep a script handy, just for fun) and do everything that the actors did in that particular scene. *Fingers crossed!*
In-house Concert
In-house Concert
This idea comes from a male source who loves music. If your guy too has a passion for music, plays an instrument, and has an artist or band that he worships, indulge this passion of his. Even if you can't sing a note to save your life, learn the lyrics of his favorite song. Take it one step further and learn to play the notes of that song on the instrument that he plays. On the big day, sing the song to him along with the 'music'. He's got to appreciate the effort that you put into the actual learning. So even if your vocals shatter some glass, won't it be worth it?
Naughty Board Game
Naughty Board Game
This idea will definitely get your creative juices flowing. Design and make a board game especially for the two of you. Call it 'Lovopoly' or any crazy name you can come up with. It can resemble a board game of your choice. It can have any kind of rules you want. You can also have some chits marked 'Rewards' and 'Misdemeanors'. At every pre-decided advance stage, the player gets a 'Reward' which can include anything you want. And for every fall, the player gets a 'Misdemeanor' card. This can again include some naughty punishments to fulfill. Have fun!
'Mis'placed Love Notes
Love Notes
There's nothing sweeter than finding love notes. Especially in the most unlikely places. So, write down your 'I Love You's and scatter them all over the place. Have a little sticky note on the ice cream carton and inconspicuously ask him to fetch it for dessert. Put one in his wallet and one under his pillow. Put one in his jeans pocket and one on his mouse. Send him an email that simply says 'I love you'. Stick one on his bunch of keys. Don't spare the toilet paper either. Have a cute note on it too!
Dream Vacation
Vacation
Be warned! This idea can prove to be a little heavy on the pocket, so you may want to give it some serious thought.
Everyone has this one place they want to see before they die. What's your boyfriend's? Whatever this place is, find a gorgeous photograph of the place and tweak it a bit to resemble the one depicted here. Blow it up, frame it, and wrap it with all the necessary hearts and pink stuff. Hand it to him. Just when he thanks you for it, tell him there's more: two tickets to the place for a vacation! Best. Valentine's Day. Idea. Ever.
Hate Mail
Hate Mail
Wanna do something insanely creative? How about sending your boyfriend pseudo hate mail? It's really simple. Just look at the images given here. All you need is blank cards (which you can easily make using card paper), colored paper, and alphabet stencils. Now, think of sentences like 'I hate it when I'm not with you.', 'I will never ever hurt you.', 'You are the worst person to hate.', 'I would go to Hell and back with you.' and the like. Using the stencils, write the sentences on the cards. Magnify the negative words like in the images and keep sending him these notes all day long. So awesome!

Valentine's day need not be over-the-top mushy every year. And the ideas given above are testimony. Use them. Dare to be different. Have a fabulous Valentine's Day!
