Even though pink and red have been flooding the department stores since Christmas, Valentine's Day is finally almost here. When you've been with your bae for awhile, Valentine's Day is no big deal. Rush to the crowded malls and pick out the over-priced, 6-foot-tall teddy bear of her dreams. It's really easy to pick out the perfect pair of Jays that he's been drooling over since he saw them during Christmas break.
But what about those who just started a new relationship? Or we who haven't hit the "relationship" title yet, but still want to get our special someone a little something? Maybe it's not quite worth the time and effort put into purchasing $150 tennis shoes for a relationship that you're not sure will last into next week (don't worry, Boo, I'm sure it'll last).
Here is a list of 11 Valentine's Day gifts that say "I'm thinking about you," without saying "can't wait until we get married next week."
First of all, it's a classic. You can never go wrong with something a little sweet. But also, what's sweeter than giving someone a gift that proves you listen when they talk?
2. A funny card
With Amazon, you can find a card for almost every occasion, including a Tinder Valentine. Welcome to 2019.
Who doesn't like getting new clothes? Especially when it is something that will remind them of you every time they wear it. Don't know the size? Go with accessories (like hats) that have an adjustable or one-size-fits-all size.
4. A gift card to a local restaurant
5. A movie neither of you have seen
6. A book
Is your partner into reading? Do they have a favorite author? Show them that you support their habits (the healthy ones, anyway).
7. Booze
If you and your sweetheart are of age, pick out booze that you think they'd like: maybe their favorite bottle of vodka, or a new brand of wine you haven't tried before. Have your own at-home wine tasting. Make a night of it.8. A homemade scratch-off ticket
Like a revamped version of a coupon booklet, this DIY project allows your SO to cash in their ticket for special favors. This is perfect for someone who likes to play the lottery. Have fun with it (and make it as G or PG-13 as you'd like). Instructions can be found here.
9. Bake them cookies or brownies or a cake
It's simple, easy, and quick. They'll love it. Plus it's going to be something they will actually use—meaning eat. Bake it into a heart shape or smear pink frosting over the top to make it extra Valentines-y.
10. A new CD
11. Glassware
Mugs, teacups, pint glasses, shot glasses—there's so many different kinds out there. And everyone could use another glass. That's another drink they can have before they're forced to do dishes. Don't make your Boo Thang do the dishes.
