As easy as it is to get caught up in our daily lives, Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show those we love how much we care. While gift-giving isn’t everyone’s “love language,” a little something surely won’t go unnoticed. Here’s a guide to finding the perfect gift for your nearest and dearest that won’t break the bank.
- Chocolate or their favorite candy. You really can’t go wrong with a little sweet treat and it’s a perfect gift for anyone, romantic or platonic.
- A handmade card. While store-bought cards are also lovely gestures, a handmade card is much more thoughtful and considerate.
- Customized vinyl or CD. This is perfect for a music lover and shows you pay attention to what kind of music they like. You could put songs that mean a lot to the two of you or just songs that remind you of them.
- Flowers. Another gift that anyone will appreciate. While roses are the typical Valentine’s Day flower, you could also branch out to something different to switch it up a bit.
- Lego flowers. Unlike real flowers, they last forever. They’re more on the pricey side, but they are a fun activity to do together, and there are lots of different sets to choose from.
- A cologne/perfume. This one can be a little risky because scents are difficult to choose for someone other than yourself. But, if you know them well enough, it shouldn’t be a problem.
- Jewelry. A simple good quality necklace or bracelet is a very thoughtful gift as long as you know whether they prefer gold or silver. You could get something with their initials on it, or even a little heart. Bonus points if you get yourself something to match them.
- A gift basket. These are super easy and fun to put together, and you can make it as cheap/expensive as you want. It’s a great way to include a bunch of their favorite things in one gift.
