A dogtag or ring with the exact longitude and latitude of the location of our first date inscribed on it.

“The very best romantic gift for me is probably a back massage with lotion of course!”

It rubs the lotion on its skin…

A new ham rig to replace my old one. I hope she reads this.

Of course I love chocolate, but something that shows he is listening to me. A weekend get away, someplace cozy. A gift certificate to dig up a new garden patch for me in the spring or a similar gift of service. I like flowers and house plants, but young cats live in my house, most of the plants are gone now. Cleaning and detailing my car would be awesome!

The spa-thing sounds nice. Massage, facial, mani/pedi.
I've been wracking my brain trying to remember any "romantic" gift I've ever gotten.
One boyfriend gave me a new rod and reel. We used to fish a lot. I guess that could
be considered romantic.
Jeez, I need to get out more.

A steak and ummm ... something else.

Time and attention. Everything else is gravy.

Honestly, I'm simple : A bottle of Gin and a pack of smokes.

I think it depends on the person. I try to pay attention to what they say when we are out and about. Sometimes the simplest gift or made by you (i.e. the CD) can be the most romantic. For me personally anything with one of my favorite super heroes (Captain America or Batman) will usually work.....and chocolate.

I dumped a guy once because he thought cut flowers were immoral because it hurt to cut them. I asked him if he only ate the apples that fell from the tree. And, yes, I had cut flowers all over my house. I love them.
I never turn down chocolate.
IMO, you kinda need to know someone to give them a romantic gift. My late husband once gave me a car--that was a great gift.

back massage was the first thing that came to my mind! i also don't like to get cut flowers, much rather a little lemon tree in a pot.

A hug. Human touch is the most romantic thing ever invented.

Pay my bills! Or take me grocery shopping! That would make me happy.

For me, a home cooked meal. I already get a weekly massage and have all the stuff I want. Or something that I'd never get myself.

Hmmm..hmmmm..weeellllll..a new pink vibrator would work.

Hmmmmm... probably massage. My girl gives the greatest massages, professional quality. Being touched with that level of intimacy is amazing

I use to go beyond the typical.
I play mind games, I know how to get inside easily. (Never in a malicious way)
Once I acted like I had nothing planned and just tell her that we were going to wing it. Get some take out or something.
Little did she know I had the whole evening planned out already. Stuff like a fancy dinner for 2 at a restaurant that wasn't open for business. But I pulled some strings with the owner that I was in good with. She was my wing woman that night.
I also got the girl I was seeing a box of chocolates...
But it wasn't really chocolates.
I instead opened the box prior, removed the candy and cut the holder in a specific way to be able to hold another small box. In that small box was a pendent. I rewrapped the box of chocolates after placing most of the candy back inside. (Let me just say, cutting that plastic holder that's inside of a heart shaped box is a bitch)
((Hell, putting the wrapper back on was a pain in the assignment too))
That's just an example of the stuff I've done.
I use to go all out... But now... I really don't care for the holiday.

Edit: Just realized I didn't answer the question...
Hmm...
Peace

To me, a gift is more romantic, no matter what it is, when it is unexpected, and not on a day when one is supposed to received gifts.

Anything that shows you've paid attention and really get me: books, art, or music by a favorite creator; art supplies; e-books; a class or course...anything that lights a fire in my mind.

The best flower gift I received was a steel rose I still have it to this day. But as far as romantic gifts go I think that's heavily based on the person you are gifting to. I personally like quality time together as a gift snuggle in bed watch a movie and order in, go on a hike to a beautiful spot or out to dinner just the two of us. Don't get me wrong a spa day would be wonderful but it doesn't feel really romantic to me.

My wife loves to be recognized as sassy young lady...Which I remind her that we are getting older, but she won't hear it. She loves romance and excitement. Its been noted that I'm not as charming as I use to be, and I try. Shes a material girl and she owns all those Victoria secret clothes and underwear and stuff of that nature. She owns expensive clothing and shoes that we have not used because we're not going to those night clubs or formal dinners. What do i get a lady like her is a mexican restaurant and some margaritas. I tell her what i want and she orders it for me. I don't know mexican or the lingo. She loves that food. I told her that i think we need to stop buying jewellery. I told her we need to stop buying clothes. Let's just take it easy... I think shes finally coming around. Note: I have nothing in the master bedroom. Nothing in the walk in closet. Nothing on the cabnets and drawers. All my stuff is in the spare bedroom next to my bathroom. I give her the bedroom and I just sleep in it. My wife the Queen.

Massage,is always good

I think the best romantic gift is to give a spe ial once in a while extended feel good. It could be anything in the range of a feather massage to deep tissue tongue treatment, as long as its dedicated. The ambiance shd add to the experience but also can be imagined if the experience and coaching is right.

About 40 yrs ago I gave a girl a silver ring with three ceramic carrots on the band.each carrot was about 1/3 inch long each. So I gave a 3 carrot ring. it just wasn't diamonds.

A full body massage of course. A day at the beach and then watch the sunset over the ocean . A hot air balloon ride. A long drive up the west coast . Drive - in - movie
