The RomanceIt! Model for Gift-Giving: A Guide for Creating the Ultimate Romantic Gift
Want to create the ultimate romantic gift? Then you've come to the right place! We promise you no more hassles, no more lines, and no more guessing. From now on, all you'll be doing is having fun and surprising the ones you love. How you ask? By using the RomanceIt! Model for gift-giving, of course!
We decided to call our 'secret' system the 'The RomanceIt! Model' for gift-giving because that's what giving a gift represents to us - a giving of LOVE and AFFECTION. Gifts, especially romantic gifts, are symbols, words, and memories all wrapped into one. So whether a gift is for a special occasion or for a special someone, the point is to bring a piece of romance and love into it. Why? Because romance is what brings light to the world and to those you love.
Here's the way it works: Each letter of the model's name ( RomanceIt! ) represents an element that must be incorporated into your romantic gift. As you read the description of each letter, we want you to write down everything and anything that comes to your mind. It doesn't matter if the thought is completely absurd, just write it down. Later, you'll be able to sift through your ideas and choose the ones that fit your current purpose the best. We also suggest that you keep a journal of your ideas so that the next time you have to give a romantic gift, most of the work will already be done.
Special Note: we want you to remember that this is 'our' model that fits 'our' view of the world and even though it addresses couples, can work just as well for other combinations of recipients and occasions. Please use the model only as a guide, kind of as a jump-start for getting your creative juices flowing. We are all 'creative geniuses,' so feel free to play with it and make it as much of your own as you'd like.
So now, without further ado, we give to you -- The RomanceIt! Model for Gift-Giving:
'R' for Remember: Remember every occasion over the past year (or longer if you'd like) when you saw your guy's face light up with bursting joy. Remember what he was doing, who he was with, and most importantly, why that moment made him so happy. You could also think about his hopes, dreams, and wishes to help you generate additional romantic gift-giving ideas.
'O' for Order: Now that you have the list of ideas, order them according to the 'degree' of happiness they evoked. Recall the smile on his face, the look in his eyes, and the endless bragging that you heard for months afterwards. The 'winners' should be quite obvious to you. As you're organizing your list, pay attention to the following three criteria: 1. degree of pleasure, 2. current relevance, and 3. feasibility for romantic gift-giving.
'M' for Music: Music is a must for any occasion, but especially for the romantic gift giving recipe - it's an ingredient that cannot be overlooked. Whether you're going to present your gift at home, in a restaurant, in a park, or on a boat (or any other uniquely chosen location), music is an absolute must. You can either just play it or incorporate right into the gift, but whatever you do, definitely use it. Music adds mysticism and fantasy to any moment, but especially to a romantic moment.
'A' for Art: Art can have many shapes and forms. Art can be painting, drawing, dancing, writing, acting, or singing...and anything else that displays an imaginative flair. Decide what type of creative self-expression feels most natural to you and use it to become the artist of your current conception. Don't be frightened. You don't have to become an actual artist (unless you already are). Just use your natural creative abilities to infuse uniqueness into the card you give, the wrapping that you use, the decoration that you choose, and into the way you present your gift. Act out a scene of love...write a poem...sing a song...paint a picture.... or make a collage....what's most important is that you become the 'romance muse' that he's always dreamed of.
'N' for Nose: Ahhhh...the aroma of fresh made flowers ...the sensual fragrance of a perfume ...the natural scent of a man and woman ...the nose loves it all! So you must make sure that you have at least a couple of these tantalizing elements present as you formulate your ideal romantic gift. The nose is the doorway that leads to the heart...so the more 'gifts' entering that doorway, the happier and more grateful your receiver will be!
'C' for Chart: This one element has been our favorite for years and has made the task of creating the perfect romantic gift a total synch. A person's astrological chart is like a fingerprint. But instead of describing the physical makeup of the individual, it describes the spiritual composition. Imagine if you knew things about your mate that he never confessed to you. Imagine if you could give him a gift that spoke to his deep inner desires without a single hint from him. Imagine if you could give him gifts that he didn't even know he wanted. Wouldn't that be amazing? Well, an astrological chart can help you become that gift-giving 'mind-reader'.
'E' for Eyes: Here we have one of the five senses that lives entirely in its own private world; following its own rules and regulations. The visual attraction one experiences toward things, places, and people is sometimes unusual and totally unexplainable. We are an imagery-based society, so beauty in all its glory appeals to us like nothing else on earth. That's why it's important to make your gift (and yourself) as visually stimulating as possible. Work with it...work with the lights ...with the linens...with the desert ...with the lingerie ...with the overall ambience...and anything else that you can think of. Make this occasion as beautiful and magical as you can. Remember, what he sees is exactly what you'll get in return! (hint, hint, wink, wink)
'I' for Imagination: Our imagination is our soul and spirit working together to help us realize our dreams and fantasies. It wants us to experience things that we've never felt before...to create things that we never knew we could. Your imagination is a part of you that needs and wants to be welcomed, explored and set free so that you can create gifts that will carry your own, unrepeatable stamp. Nothing is too weird, actually the weirder, the better. Want to send him a singing telegram? Do it! Want to star in your own romance novel? Do it! Want the both of you to become the Lady and the Lord of your "private castle"? Do it! Free your imagination and keep your honey up for nights!
'T' for Taste: Last, but definitely not least, we have the wondrous palate. The tastes that enter our mouths can make us crave, make us dream, and drive us wild. The tongue has the power to send numerous sensations throughout the body all in a matter of seconds. So you can imagine the importance of planning the 'tasting' element of your romantic gift. Have something sweet...something sour...something soft ...something hard ...something bitter ...something cold ...and something hot . Experiment with all sensations and finish by introducing the most incredible sensation of all - YOU!
The formula is simple: The Romantic Gift = Remembering + Organizing + Adding Melody + Being Artistic + Enjoying the Scents + Getting a Chart + Seeing the Beauty + Using the Imagination + Tasting It All.
Pretty simple isn't it?
So now that you have the 'RomanceIt! Model' for gift-giving at your fingertips, use it to create that amazingly unique gift that you always knew you could.
Happy Valentine's Day from the 'Romance Girls'!
