With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, it’s time to start making plans. It’s a day to show your love, affection, and devotion to those closest to you. Sure, the traditional chocolates, flowers, and cards are lovely, however, a carefully thought out gift and events planned for quality time mean so much more. Take the time to do something special for your loved one, whether it’s going out to the spa and then to dinner, movies, or sitting at home playing intimate love games. Whatever you have planned, be sure that it shows how much you care. Following are ten great gift ideas for Valentine’s Day, sure to knock your sweetie’s socks off.
- Hot Candle–lit Bubble Bath – run a nice hot bubble bath, filled with flower petals and pure essential oils. To add an extra special touch and create the perfect romantic atmosphere, set lit candles all around and have some nice, smooth, love music to get your beloved in that special mood. Be sure to give extra pampering by offering to wash their back, legs, and feet, and maybe even finish off with a nice foot massage with soothing oil infused with aromatic essential oil.
- Specialty Chocolates – for some, it just isn’t Valentine’s Day without the chocolate! Don’t just get any box of chocolates from the local drugstore. Show your sweetie that you put more time and effort into it by getting specialty chocolates to suit their particular flavor. Chocolate is also known to release serotonin, creating those nice warm fuzzies of sweet love!
- Engraved Jewelry – a gift that’s sure to leave your loved one smiling for years to come. Pick out a special piece of jewelry and have it engraved with their pet name, a special message of affection, or any reminder of your undying devotion for them. Jewelry is a gift that can last a lifetime and even be shared with future generations as a reflection of your love!
- Home-cooked Gourmet Dinner –food is nurturing. When we are first born, our mother feeds us and we quickly learn to associate it with love. Across multiple cultures and generations, food is connected to love. Plan out a special meal of the foods you know your honey will enjoy, consisting of an appetizer, main course, and desert. Add a special touch by making it a nice presentation, not only in how you place the food on the plates and table, but also with the types of dishes you use, a special table cloth, scented candles, soft lighting and music. It is said that a good path to the heart is through the stomach and that’s not just limited to men!
- Day at The Spa – give your sweetheart a great sense of well-being with a day at the spa. Or better yet join her for an experience for two. This could include a full body massage, facials, detox treatments, and a myriad of other custom treatments. Give us a call and we will plan a great day for the two of you!
- Make Your Own Card – while store bought cards can look nice, they may lack a personal message. Making your own card is a lot more personal and intimate. You can tell your beloved exactly how you feel and they will know that it came from your heart and not your wallet!
- Write a LoveLetter – another great way to profess undying love! We’re not talking typing something up on the computer and printing it out here. No, we’re talking a good old fashioned hand-written love letter. You may wish to do a rough draft to get out the right words, then carefully rewrite taking your time, so that it looks nice. This shows you put your own time, energy, and heart into it and will be something your sweetie may hold on to for many years or even decades to come!
- Tickets to See their Favorite Sports Team or Music Band–give your honey something that you know they’ll enjoy immensely! Make it even more special by promising to go to the event with them and share in their joy. When we participate in such activities it creates a stronger common bond. Get out and have some fun!!!
- Homemade Gift – homemade gifts are always much better than store bought ones. They show you took the time to think about what to make, then put even more energy into making it. Not to mention, these kinds of gifts are invaluable and have a great way of really touching the heart.
- Scrapbook – gather photos of the two of you and write out some sweet phrases to go with them. Put them all in a nice scrapbook and decorate it to give it that special touch. Get creative with it and perhaps even add some humor to it. This is a gift to be treasured for sure!
As you can see, it doesn’t have to take a whole lot of money to have a great Valentine’s Day with your loved one. With a bit of effort and creativity, you can share romantic moments with your sweetheart and show them your love and affection. Doing something unique is far superior to the same old traditional gifts and can cater more to your beloved’s individual taste and style.We wish you a happy and blissful Valentine’s Day!
