Valentine's Day for Cancers?

It is a little early, but I am trying to plan ahead. What exactly do Cancers like as gifts? This is quite important to me because I really care about this girl although I am sure her boyfriend will give her something she will appreciate more,but I am still willing to try. Ultimately I will choose what to buy herself myself ,but some input would be helpful.

i'm not a cancer, but from i know about cancer's, something homemade or personal/from the heart. they like things that are personal in my experience.

a homemade cd might not be a bad idea of your/her favorite songs might not be a bad idea. that way they can think of you when they listen to it..

A beautiful card with a personal note, a flower delivery with a personal note on the card, definitely the homemade CD would be lovely.

Its not as much as home made as something that you took care in picking. It does not have to cost much if anything but should be something that is of interest to her.
What kind of a girl is she and what does she like?

expensiveandshiny.com nah seriously anything that shows you've been listening. Subtlety and attention to detail are things that should be your main focus. If you two have an inside joke or theme that only you two know about you might wanna play that up as well.

I personally like handmade gifts, Make her a necklace, A Card, or a trinket box, She would keep it forever. Or maybe a mixed CD with old school songs that she loves and takes her back to good times and good memories.

I Dont think my man has a clue on what to get me, but i would love if he made me dinner and gave me a massage. From the heart things mean more to me than anything store bought. Truth, Truth....

A great night out, or something romantic w/ quality time.

LMAO 😛

Honestly, i don't know about the rest of the other cancerians but for me, i'd only have my mind and eyes set on the one i love. 🙂 Every gift that i recieve from the one i love will make me fly to the moon (no matter what they give). Don't be misunderstood, not that i do not like presents from other people, it's just that the feeling is different.

A gift i recieve from a normal friend will get a normal response like "Oh Wow. Thanks. That's so nice of you." A gift i recieve from the one i love will get a response like "BABY! YOU'RE THE BEST! and lots of kisses follows and jumping for joy" Point is. When cancer sets their eyes on someone, it's just that someone that they see and no one else.

But if you're giving a present to him/her, i'd really have to say that hand-made items are a ++. Like Picture Montage / Collage and Photo frames with pictures(of memories) nicely framed and given as a set etc etc. Hand made cookies or home cooked meal prepared by yourself will pamper them.

But if you are not a really hands on person, a nice dinner by the waterfront with live romantic jazz music and a slow walk by the beach thereafter is good. Be a gentleman if youre male. And be sensitive if you're female.

However, do not try to confuse a cancerian, they'll block you out of their life!

Good Luck!

These are all really great ideas (for someone who doesn't already have a boyfriend).

If you gave me a gift, knowing I had a boyfriend, I would feel wierded out. My gut says that you have little respect for boundaries and I wouldn't even think of having anything "relationship" wise with you. Just me....

+1

Not a Cancer but have 20+ years of Cancer gift-giving experience. It should be something you're excited to give her, something not only that you're sure she'll enjoy but shows how you feel about her, otherwise you're better off just saying "Happy Valentine's Day" with sincerity. I think Cancers dislike purely gestural gifts on principle. The good gifts, however, special occasion or not, are things they'll keep thanking you for long after the fact. Example: My first "gift" to my Cancer sister was some soup I "made" (opened a packet and added water) her when I was six and she was sick. She cried then and still brings it up today (I'm 26).

even if its a card with your sign on it... a crab keeps it 4 life.....

All these mentions are great ideas. I agree though, for a Cancerian woman who isnt taken.

I know generic, and I thought about this a lot, even a simple ecard, text, wishing her a happy valentine's day will put a smile on her face. Throw in an inside joke or thought, or something you know she likes or thinks about. Like "Walked by Janies Glass today, saw a blue bird of happiness in the window and thought of you. Happy Valentine's day." Showing you're thinking of her, making it personal, BUT you are respecting her relationship and boundaries.

Not knowing the backdrop of your history with her or story, if you encroach on that fine line of knowing she has a boyfriend but showing any sort of "I don't care" can set her back, and placing you on ignore or retreat in her mind.

Thankyou for the great input everyone 🙂,but I have something to add... I can't really help who I fell in love with and regardless of what some of you may think, I am indeed interested in having a relationship with her. I DO know there are boundaries though due to the fact that she is taken and I intend on respecting these boundaries. I only want to make her happy, not "chicken hawk" or whatever the hell that is. Yes, I may have feelings for someone who is already taken, but that does not make me a horrible person who has ulterior motives and does not want a relationship.

regardless of your situation, you got some pretty good input on here. just do something that means something without intruding too much. if she cares for you, it will come out. good luck!
