Women are not only hopeless romantics, they are hopeful ones as well. All women love personalized love gifts and with COSIMO, the search for the perfect romantic gift idea for her is over. What more could a women want than a beautifully presented love poem chosen especially for her?
COSIMO is a Handcrafted Gift Unique and Elegant in Every Detail
When first asked to review this new romantic gift concept, I'll admit to being somewhat skeptical. I'm a pushover for romance but it must be done with style and flair for me to be suitably impressed. When the COSIMO arrived, all of my doubts vanished. It truly is a unique gift for the woman in love.
The presentation box is hand-carved wood and beautifully finished with a rich lustre; no two are exactly alike. Enveloped in a band sealed with wax, it assures the recipient that no-one has opened this touching and meaningful gift before her. Inside the box is a parchment scroll that, once unrolled, reveals a love poem inscribed just for her.
Reading more about this gift on the company website, I discovered the selected poem can be either one of the many touching choices offered or it can be a poem submitted by the giver of the gift himself. The site offers the unique opportunity of having your own words, addressed directly to the lucky lady, inscribed on the scroll.
COSIMO Love Poems are Passionate, Touching and Romantic in Every Way
The depth of emotion in every poetic offering on the COSIMO website is breathtaking. The words encompass a range of occasions from a milestone anniversary to the beauty of a woman expecting a child for the first time.

And then you turned around and looked into my eyes
And I knew that everything was true and there were no more lies
And my fire grew even stronger than I could have ever thought before
For you were there, so perfect and so rare
Finding Out What Women Really Think of COSIMO by Antonio Verdi
Needing a good cross section of perspectives from other women (remember, I'm a pushover), I polled several women who work in my city's downtown core. The responses were varied but they all echoed a similar sentiment: women are suckers for romance.
Molly*, a 29-year-old credit analyst, immediately recognized the Celtic love knot on the lid of the hand-carved box. "It's a beautiful presentation," she said. "I have to admit I'd be wondering what horrific thing my boyfriend did to be apologizing so thoroughly (!) but I'd still be touched by the thought."
Celeste*, a 51-year-old account executive, was immediately taken in by the thought that her husband could have the scroll created using his own words. "He tries to write me poetry all the time. He's not terribly good at it but I wouldn't be able to keep myself from smiling if his awkward rhymes were packaged like this."
"Wow," said Karla*, a 43-year-old human resources manager. "My husband is the ultimate romantic and this is exactly the sort of thing he would look for as a gift for a special occasion. Is it cheating if I leak him the website link?"
Other comments were also very positive, ranging from the fine detail in the carving to the keepsake the gift makes for years to come. The box is elegant enough to be displayed either on a bedroom dresser or in the office as a reminder of how thoughtful a gift it was.
Buying a COSIMO for the Woman You Love Gives Back to the Community
The philanthropic efforts of the creative forces behind COSIMO are well worth noting. Purchases of the COSIMO love gift benefit the Girl's Education Program in India established by Room to Read. From August 2010 through to December 2011, a portion of the retail selling price will be donated toward scholarship programs for young girls in India.
The goal is enough for 15 scholarships before the program's end. Room to Read currently sponsors over 8,900 young girls in scholarship programs. More details are available on the Room to Read website.
