I’m happy to report that a year and a half after my book, The
RoMANtic’s Guide, was first released, it is STILL the number one
dating ideas book in America.  It also ranks in the top 5 of all
Marriage books sold.  Thanks to all of you who have been a part in its
success.

I have added a new Magnetic Poetry feature to my website.  I supply
you with about 400 words and you can drag them around to create
virtual romantic poetry. Doesnt work with all browsers though 🙁

L O V E   Q U O T E

There are moments when something new has entered into us, a something
unknown; our feelings grow mute in shy perplexity, everything in us
withdraws, a stillness comes, and the new, which no one knows, stands
in the midst of it and is silent.

– RAINER MARIA RILKE

MAKE IT A MINIATURE
by Michael Webb
http://theromantic.com/

Last week I wrote about getting giant sized items for the men in your
life.  This week I write about how to shop for women.

Women love miniatures.  It begins when they are but a few years old as
evidence with dolls (miniature adults).

I think the recent success with Beanie Babies is partly due to them
being baby animals.  If the animals looked more like adults, they
wouldn’t be so “cute.”  Who doesn’t find puppies and kittens adorable?

If you are ever in a bind for a gift for your special lady – think
baby sized.  Many women still have a fondness for dolls,  doll houses
and the tiny furniture that goes inside.  Athena has a small
collection of teapots so she really enjoyed the tiny tea set I bought
for her.

For musicians, search for pint-sized instruments.  Find tiny books for
book lovers.  For gardeners, small flower pots and gardening tools.
I’ve seen live miniature daisies and African Violet plants that are
only an inch or two tall.  While you are at it, buy an itsy bitsy
watering can to water those tiny plants.

The ideas are endless. Just think small.
