Love Songs for that Someone Special

When you think of those romantic nights spent with your “someone special,” the first thing that comes to mind is the smell of his cologne or her perfume, and then you remember the names of the love songs that were playing on the radio when you fell in love. Whether Elvis was wondering if you were lonesome or if it was ole blue eyes himself dropping in for a visit, you know one thing for sure – it was magic.

You’d Think that People Would Have Had Enough of Silly Love Songs

Paul McCartney was right. There are so many love songs you would assume by now people would be tired of listening, writing, and singing love songs. But we aren’t. And it doesn’t look like we’re going to stop listening to love songs anytime soon.

Without fail, every time we hear the love songs we fell in love to, we are immediately transported to that special night. Music reaches an emotional level in our communication process. Simply put, we simply cannot resist it.

If you’re giving your “someone special” a gift basket, without a doubt, it must include not just music, but the very love songs playing when you fell in love.

How Deep is Your Love?

Every newlywed, indeed, every individual who is in love understands the appeal of love songs created especially for lovers. It’s no secret why the Bee Gees are ranked as one of the top five most successful artists of all time – they created some of the most fantastic love songs ever recorded.

And who wouldn’t recognize Elvis Presley with his sultry southern voice, or the unforgettable Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Top that list off with the incomparably sexy voice of Barry White and sugar you got yourself the beginnings of a wonderful gift basket for lovers.

Can’t Help Falling in Love...

When love is on your mind, make it known. Share a music basket filled with love songs from favorite songwriters and singers with your “someone special” and watch the sparks ignite all over again.

Picture a scene by the fireplace. The fire is burning brightly. Your significant other is cuddled in an over-sized chair with you. Snow is falling gently outside the windows. It’s just the two of you...you have the place to yourselves...you’re snowed in...what to do, what to do.

It’s Magic...

When love is in the air that’s all that matters, and that’s how it should be. Love will take care of itself. All you need to worry about is what would make that fireplace setting even more romantic.

Love Songs Music Basket:

• Bottle of champagne
• Two champagne glasses
• Bee Gees CD titled Love Songs
• Franks Sinatra’s CD titled The Very Best of Love Songs
• Elvis Presley’s CD titled Love Songs
• Barry White’s CD also titled Love Songs
• Strawberries dipped in chocolate
• Heart-shaped box of chocolates
• Hershey’s Kisses

To make this love songs gift basket extra special, put all of the items into a vinyl album that’s been transformed into a bowl. (This can be done in your own oven, using one album, in just a few minutes. SEE HOW TO MAKE A RECORD BOWL TUTORIAL BELOW.)

As a liner or filler for the vinyl bowl, Xerox about 10 (double-sided) sheets of music, and then pop them into a shredder. In seconds you have some pretty cool filler. If you don’t have a shredder, cut the paper into thin strips.
