gift ideas

A special day like this cannot be remembered without a gift for the person you love. It doesn’t have to be expensive. You just need to be thoughtful. Here are five Valentine’s gift ideas with a twist.

1. Writing on the Chocolates: Engrave the letters “Valentine’s Day” and your name too (if there are that many blocks) on each block of chocolate. Your love will be intrigued by your personalization. You can also put a note with a love poem or some love quotes written to make it romantic.

2. Love in metals (for her) and gadgets (for him): For Her: Heart-shaped earrings, rings, bracelets, and pendants make attractive gifts for a girl. The price of gold and platinum shoots up the cost of such jewelry. Inexpensive jewelry that is made of semi-precious metals is also available in the market. If you can afford to spend more, you can also take her to a jewelry store, blindfolded, and give her the option of choosing one for herself. What will make this gift special is when you comment on how pretty she looks in it.

For him – Watches, music players and video games are usually gifts that boys feel joy to receive. Make sure you know what he likes. If you love music, a music player with your favorite songs stored is a great Valentine’s gift idea for her boyfriend or husband. You can make it more personal by recording a love song or love message in your voice along with their favorite numbers. You will be pleasantly surprised. Keep in mind that even girls like to use these devices, therefore these devices can also be gifted to your girlfriend or wife.

3. Printed with love: What can be more special than a personalized gift for your Valentine? Gift shops often have equipment to print images on mugs, cushions, stuffed animals, crystals, wall clocks, and T-shirts. Select the best of photos of you and your love and watch it come to life on a coffee mug with a little love message written on it. You can make this special and intimate by serving him his favorite hot drink.

4. Pack of Goodness: Reiterating the fact that Valentine’s Day is more about thoughtful gifts, a specially prepared package for your loved one is an appreciated gesture. This pack of goodness can hold your favorite bubble bath or shower gel, perfume, fragrance oil, lotion, scented candles, chocolates, book, music CD, and anything your crush uses to relax. You can also put a bottle of champagne or wine and a box of heart-shaped cookies that you baked for him/her. Make the gift-giving experience more pleasurable by using the pack on your Valentine on Valentine’s Day to your ultimate delight.

5. Token Gifts: There are a number of gifts that can describe what your Valentine means to you. These gifts require a lot of thought and some creativity. Choose any number of small items that you think symbolize your relationship with your crush. Pack it in a box and gift it to your crush with a note describing the symbolism of each item. Some examples include:

1. World – symbolizing that your Valentine is your world. There are small to large glass to plastic balloons available on the market.
2. Pearl- symbolizing the difficulty it has been to find the special person in your life
3. Assortment of Chocolates – symbolizing that you are aware that life is going to be different at every step, just like the different shapes and sizes of chocolates. Add to this that you want to savor each one of them with your crush. See the happy tear glistening in her eye after reading the note.
