Top 10 Valentine’s Day quotes from TV

Top 10 Valentine’s Day quotes from poetry
There’s nothing quite as traditionally romantic as poetry, so take a leaf out of the books of Wordsworth and Tennyson to spread the love.
If your partner is a true romantic, they’ll appreciate the effort you’ve taken to research and find the perfect line, or even stanza, to show how much they mean to you.
Besides, if you can’t break out the poetry on Valentine’s Day, when can you?

Top 10 Valentine’s Day quotes from books
Book-lovers know just how important it is to get the words right, so when it comes to a Valentine’s Day you’ll want to choose carefully.
Do you and your partner read the same books? Easy, choose a passage or line you both enjoy!
Not a book fan but your partner is? Well, first of all good on you for taking notice of your partner’s interests. Is your partner’s favourite book not on this list? Just have a cheeky Google to find out.

How to give your quote as a gift
You don’t just need to stick to flowers, chocolates and cards for Valentine’s Day. When you have found your perfect message you can get creative and think of an original way to present it. Here are some ideas:
- A handwritten note on handmade paper is a personal way to say “I love you”.
- Collect your favourite photos of you and your Valentine together and get them made into a fold-out card or small book. You can include your quote/s between the pages and sign off at the end with a personal sentiment.
- Mount your message onto a glass block or a metal plate to be displayed around the house.
- Have your quote printed on something your Valentine can use, like a pillowcase or a coffee cup. It’s a bit kitsch, but undeniably sweet to drink your coffee every morning out of a cup that reminds you that you’re the bee’s knees.
