WHAT unique and extra thoughtful gifts can you give your special someone on Valentine’s Day?
Read on.
1) Money bouquet. Everybody needs money to pay bills, buy food or other needed items. Instead of giving your loved one a bouquet of roses that will soon dry up, make a “flower bouquet” of dollar bills. You’ll make your honey smile.
2) Personalized love letter. A handwritten letter straight from the heart is one of the most extraordinary mementos of love you can give your special someone in this internet era. Put it on your breakfast table before s/he wakes up or slide it in his/her purse or bag so s/he can see it when s/he least expects it.
3) Spa and parlor treatment. Give your loved one a treat at his/her favorite spa or salon before going on a romantic dinner. Make him or her feel that you truly care by giving him or her the me-time s/he needs.
4) Heart locket. Give him or her a heart shaped locket with your photo inside. It’s a gift that never goes out of style.
5) Pet dog. If your special someone is a dog or pet lover, then give him/her a puppy — a new member of the family from a person they love.
6) Desk organizer set. S/he will remember you every time s/he writes notes during a meeting or when planning a project.
7) Shoes. Give him or her something s/he can and will use. From stilettos to sneakers, loafers and espadrilles, Mary Janes and moccasins, ballet flats to brogues, etc. They’ll make a statement about you whenever s/he wears them.
8) Grocery gift check. More useful than a $100 worth of roses. Help him/her stock up his/her fridge and pantry.
9) Coffee tumbler with your photos. If your loved one’s a coffee lover, you can never go wrong with a coffee mug personalized with your photos.
10) Money cake. Make a Valentine’s cake extra special by stuffing some cash in it. Your loved one will have his/her cake and cash to spend or save, too.
11) Fancy pillow and blanket set. What is sweeter than remembering your loved one before bedtime? Give him or her a pillow s/he can hug and a blanket that will keep them warm and cozy.
12) A staycation. Book a hotel room. Spend time on the beach. Watch the sunset together while sipping your favorite drink.
13) A power bank. Invest in high-end units like the Anker Power Core 20,100mAh Portable Charger Ultra High-Capacity Power Bank, a top-ranked product on Amazon.
14) Visit a new place or do something new. It is very important to spend time with each other as a couple. Try a new restaurant or hang out at a spot you’ve never been to. Make Valentine’s Day about you spending time together. Turn off your phones and focus on each other.
Material things are no doubt transitory, but the blissful engendered by your thoughtful gift is timeless. As the Bard wrote, “Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.”
