With Valentine’s Day being right around the corner, thinking of the perfect gift for your special someone can be overwhelming. Stores have had their festive gifts and treats on display for weeks now. It tends to pressure shoppers to frantically search for the thing that best represents their love towards their significant other. Sure, your girlfriend or boyfriend will appreciate the cheesy card that you picked up last minute from the local drugstore, but sometimes going above and beyond goes a long way. Lucky for you ladies, we’re giving you seven great Valentine’s Day gift ideas for your special someone that are sure to make them feel loved this February!
A Home-Cooked Meal
Finding a last minute dinner reservation on Valentine’s Day is mission impossible. Instead, consider opting for a night in and cooking a romantic dinner for two. Cooking your special someone’s favorite meal is a nice gesture we’re sure they’ll love!
Something Sweet
Similar to cooking a meal, you can bake your loved one a homemade treat! If you can’t bake, you can easily find something delicious to give to them from a grocery store. However, baking something sweet shows how much you truly care (even if baking might not be your strong suit).
A Fun Date Night
If your special someone would appreciate some quality time with you more than a gift, plan a fun date for the two of you. Some ideas include spending the day in a nearby city, seeing a show on Broadway (always be on the lookout for discounted tickets), or dinner and a movie (hint, hint: 50 Shades Freed premiers the Friday before Valentine’s Day).
Something Homemade
When it comes to a Valentine’s Day gift, it’s the thought that counts. What’s more thoughtful than making something for your special someone?! Some ideas include buying and decorating a picture frame, or even putting together a coupon book.
Chocolates and Flowers
You can’t really go wrong with this classic gift. Roses and a box of chocolates have been the way to a girl’s heart since the start of time.
A Gift for Her
Looking for the perfect gift for your girlfriend, friend, or wife this Valentine’s Day? Head to the nearest LUSH store for some bath bombs and scented lotion, and tell your girl that she deserves some relaxation.
A Gift for Him
The Echo Dot by Amazon ($50) is the latest fad. It’s a hands-free, voice-controlled device with a small built-in speaker that can connect over Bluetooth – a gift that your man will love!
