10 Romantic Holiday Gift Ideas

You can't buy love, but you sure can make a statement with a gift of jewelry. A diamond and 18-karat gold pendant such as this one can shine as bright as your love. The fact that this is the key to your heart makes it as expressive as it is pretty. If you choose to buy jewelry for your new husband or wife, you should pick something unique and suited to your spouse.

The man in your life will appreciate a special key ring with a note stating that your love for him is locked in forever. Attaching a key to your new home or car (or a symbolic one to your heart) is a bonus.

Sea salts, bubble bath, or bath oil are a sure sign that you'd like to give your husband or wife a bath -- and that is quite a gift. Salts from the Dead Sea, like the one here, are said to be great for the skin. But the bath together will be even better for your marriage.

A gift basket filled with goodies that you and your new husband can use to enhance your sex life is never a bad thing for a marriage. This particular basket includes oils and flavored body dust for your pleasure.

A racy pair of underwear or naughty knickers always makes for a great gift for spouse. Something in lace or silk is usually a winner. The best part is that you'll both get to enjoy this gift.

A sense of humor and the unexpected are both welcome in the marital bedroom. These boxers from Walgreens allow gift givers to choose a 4X6 photo to feature on the thigh. Pick a favorite shot of the two of you, and it will remind your husband of how much you love each other every time he pulls down his pants. Isn't that the key to the perfect marriage?

A romantic dinner can be a delicious gift for your lover. There's something so lovely about being pampered and served by the one you love every once in a while. If you want to really make an impression, serve something special. Maine lobster will make a big splash but so could something made with truffles, filet mignon, or your husband or wife's favorite meal.

No romantic dinner would be complete without a decadent dessert. Godiva cheesecake sounds like it would cut the bill. But if you're feeling particularly ambitious, you could make your own dessert -- from a whipped cream bikini to chocolate covered strawberries.

Whisking your love to a far-off destination -- from Paris to Disney World -- is romantic and beautiful and wild. Wrapping the tickets in a passport case and travel wallet is a great way to present your generous surprise.

A luggage set with a note about all the places you'll go together can be incredibly touching. It is a way to dream together and prepare for adventures together. There are few greater gifts in a marriage.
