What is mystery? Well, it's simply something unknown. To
create a mystery, you have to do a little preparation. You
have to start creating an event. You have to frame how your
Valentine thinks. Creating mystery is all about influencing
expectations and controlling anticipation.

Remember these two points as you create your mystery.
First, when creating mystery, you cannot let out too much
information. You have to talk about an impending event
without giving out too many details. If you need an
analogy, think of a politician who never gives out all the
information on his position.

But remember to buy your gift before you start creating
the mystery because they could run out of supplies or fail
to deliver it in time.

The easiest way to create your mystery is to work
backwards. Place your gift in front of you and write down
all the descriptive phrases you can about it. Then edit
them so that when you read each of them you cannot tell
what it is. Then put them in an order so that after reading
all of them you still would not be able to guess what it is.

After you have your gift and your descriptive notes, plan
on how you will give each note to your valentine. Send them
in the mail. Email each note. Hide each note in a place
where they will see it in their daily activities.

You don't have to create a big mystery - just one to amuse
your valentine. Remember: Anyone can buy a gift, put it in
a gift bag, and hand it to someone. But that common process
will not get you the rave reviews that you deserve.
