Chocolate Indulgences
The famous Shakespearean quote, “Sweets to the sweet” is one that often accompanies boxes of chocolates or other candies given to women by the men who love them. It has always been associated with the concepts of romance, courtship and even seduction.
Milk Chocolate is the most commonly given, however, it is the chocolate with the least romantic meaning. This is because it is so common that it is considered a “default”. Receiving this type of chocolate on Valentine’s Day is tantamount to getting fruitcake on Christmas. This type of chocolate signifies more of a friendly relationship rather than a romantic one.
As suggested by it’s name, dark chocolate is the dark side of giving chocolates. Dark in a sense that it connotes a more sexual inclination along with romantic intentions. The bittersweet taste of Dark Chocolate is one of its most sensual attributes. The combination of two tastes stimulates the taste buds and causes a sort-of euphoric feeling, thus giving the brain a little tickle of pleasure.
The color white is often associated with purity. The same attribute applies to white chocolate. Giving white chocolate denotes love that is pure, untainted by malice and imbued with respect.
Let Your Love Blossom
Flowers are a time honored romantic gift, favored for their ability to bring good cheer. However, no other flower is as impressive as the rose. Roses are associated with many meanings and symbols. The most common of course is love, which originated in Greek mythology. When Aphrodite cried about the death of her lover Adonis, she had red “Adonis Roses” grown with his blood. Thus red roses are the symbol of never-ending love.
Diamonds Indeed are Forever
Jewelry is perhaps the ultimate romantic gift. The significance of jewelry has evolved through the ages. In the 1st Century A.D., rings of thin iron were given to brides-to-be in Rome. It may not have been until 1475, in Italy, when Constanzo Sforza gave Camillia d’Aragona a diamond ring to signify their betrothal that the tradition of diamond engagement rings began.
Diamond jewelry is often viewed as the best possible gift to make your loved one feel extra special. It is reported that eighty-five percent of women consider diamond jewelry as the “most romantic” gift. She can wear the jewelry and show other people that someone feels like they are worth sacrificing for. Diamonds are carry a message of strength, bravery, unconquerable, everlasting and love’s flame.
The Best Gift of All
Always remember the best gift you can give your lady is true love. Nothing beats this gift from the heart. Regularly remind her how much you appreciate her presence in your life. This is so vitally important yet often overlooked. Often love is taken for granted – a big mistake. Write her letters or poems. Do other thoughtful romantic things. Use your imagination. Grow your relationship.
