Are you having trouble finding the perfect Valentine's Day gift this year? Valentine's Day can be tough when it comes to surprising your significant other (or yourself) with the perfect gift. For some, it has to show how much you care, and in other cases, how much you know about that person. Whether you've been dating for a few weeks or over a year, it will always be difficult finding that lovely present. Here are a few ideas on how to surprise your love this Feb. 14.
1. Flowers
Without a doubt, I can tell you that every gender loves the thoughtfulness of flowers. I know that on this day roses are the first choice, but any kind of flower works. Try even buying them in their favorite color!
2. Chocolate
Did you know that in the ancient times of Mayan and Aztec cultures, cocoa beans were used as currency? What would be a better gift than the sweet taste of melting chocolate and a little bite of history?
3. A Handwritten Love Letter
From my own personal experience, receiving and giving handwritten letters creates such a great feeling. It displays your love by putting time and effort in showing how much you care with your own words rather than a store-bought card.
4.) An Engraved Pocket Knife
If you're a lady having trouble finding your gentleman a good gift, just remember, "Boys will be boys," and boys love sharp things. What better way to show how much you care than by getting him something useful and thoughtful with his name on it? This can even go for girls if you know she needs something handy!
5. Gift Basket
If you feel like being extra generous by putting together your lover's favorite things, then turning them into a gift basket can be an amazing option and a creative way to show off your decorating skills!
6. Clothes
The best part about buying someone clothing is seeing them wearing it. If you have always wanted to see the person you love in something they might not pick first, here's your chance to introduce them to a new style! Even if they end up not liking it, it's the thought that counts.
7. Massages
Sometimes the best gift is the gift of relaxation. Both of you deserve a day to get those knots out and enjoy a nice massage. Valentine's Day is all about love and no worries.
8. Concert/Game Tickets
Your partner may be really into an artist or sports team — what better way to surprise him/her than by getting tickets to see them live?
9. Dinner
Whether it's homemade or a night out, food is always the key to someone's heart.
10. Gift Cards
It can be super difficult picking out gifts, so why not give them the choice? If you feel uncomfortable narrowing it down, let your partner pick out what's best for them.
11. Kisses!
This may not be a great gift on its own, but kisses are always an alternative way of showing someone how much you truly love them. Shower your partner with kisses on Valentine's Day this year!
