[tps_header] Valentine’s Day is around the corner. For many, this day of love comes with some stress due to the uncertainty around gift ideas. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Honestly, it shouldn’t be that way. Expressing yourself to the woman you love should come easily.

February 14^th shouldn’t be about how much you spend or how many gifts you buy. It should be a day of expressing love in a special way. If you feel like you have to break the bank to impress your lady, don’t blame the holiday. You may need to have a deeper conversation with that special lady in your life about what expressing love means to you.

So with all the commercials for jewelry, flowers, chocolate and who knows what else, how do you determine what to give your lady on Valentine’s Day? Well I suggest putting your focus on what your lady loves to do instead of searching for the perfect gift. The thought you put into creating the perfect day will mean far more than some fancy overpriced gift (well, at least for most women it will).

Here are the top 10 things women love to do on Valentine’s Day. Pick one that will make your lady smile and have a very Happy Valentine’s Day!

1. Go to her favorite restaurant.

Simple enough, right? Take her out to her favorite restaurant and enjoy a romantic meal together. You get even more brownie points if it’s hard to get a table at the restaurant, but you remembered to make reservations. She will love that. Sometimes a great meal with the one you love is more than enough to make it a wonderful day.
