If you’re dating what gift do you get for Valentine’s Day that says “I care” but doesn’t take you to the next level before you’re ready? If you’re married, what gift isn’t going to have you sleeping on the sofa? If you’re “Just Friends” and want it to stay that way, how do you make sure you don’t find him stalking you with roses every night after you come out of the gym?

• We’re really just friends (and it’s never going to be more):Don’t send out the wrong love smoke signals. Stick with a funny card and if you feel it necessary to gift, stick to something universal like a book gift certificate or a gift card to their favorite coffee place.
   
• There’s a Spark but I’d like to See Some Sizzle: This is the perfect occasion to make a move. Search out cards that express your interest without laying on the love too heavy. Flirt with a heart-shaped box of candy, a bottle of wine and an offer of dinner to share the goodies. Or how about flowers? This seems like the perfect time for flowers which will send the message loud and clear.
   
• It’s a Love Match!:You’re free to go all out! Have fun in the card aisle by getting both funny and sentimental cards that show your Valentine how special he or she is. Put together a special gift basket for the two of you such as a DVD he’s wanted to see, your favorite movie snacks, romantic candles and a bottle of champagne. Where the evening goes is anyone’s guess.

• Longtime Lovers: Don’t make the mistake of falling for only the traditional gifts. Mix it up for an exciting surprise this year! Try planning a weekend away in a bed and breakfast or nearby luxury hotel to pamper and enjoy yourselves. Remember it’s the little things that matter. Take a walk together and find time to talk. Gather favorite mementos and create a memory book of your best moments as a couple. Remind each other why you fell in love.

No matter where you are in your relationship Valentine's Day is a time to reflect on your relationship and remember why you fell in love in the first place. Make sure that your valentine feels just as special as he or she truly is!
