Valentine’s Day is February 14, 2018

Some gift ideas for spreading the love

We’ve complied a list of sweet ideas to make every heart happy this Valentine’s Day.

#1 Greeting Card (with actual thought)

When it comes to putting out money for gifts, less may be more. Most recipients are just as happy with small presents as they are with big ones – as long as there is thought behind them. As a guy, that might seem stressful, but there is no need to worry. Putting in some consideration for purchasing the perfect card can be as easy as 1-2-3.

1) Read the inside of the card before buying. For example, your wife or girlfriend may not appreciate opening a Valentine’s Day card and reading “I love you Grandma!”

2) Don’t just sign your name. Take a moment to write a small, personalized message. This is an easy way to show her that you care and you want her card to be specific to her.

3) Don’t wait until the last minute to buy the card. To successfully achieve steps 1 and 2, it helps to avoid picking out the card the day before Valentine’s Day. It’s easy, you can buy a card on Amazon and have it sent to your work address.

#2 Chocolates

Chocolates and Valentine’s Day are a match made in heaven! This seems like a no-brainer, but there is a little detail to this gift that can make all the difference.  As mentioned above, it’s all about showing extra thought. Write a bonus personalized note or print a picture of you and your significant other and affix it to the box of chocolates. Then wrap the chocolates in wrapping paper. When she sees the size of the wrapped box, she will probably guess what it is. However, she will not be expecting the little extra personalized gift on the inside that shows her you put extra thought into the gift.

#3 Roses

Why do we give roses for Valentine’s Day? Red roses have stood the test of time across cultures, representing ideals of beauty, love and romance. This symbolism goes back to the 19th-century when Victorians used floral bouquets to deliver a message to love interests — that they were, in fact, interested. Since that time, the rose’s romantic status was solidified as a forever representation of love. The only downside is that they are a gift that unfortunately does not last.  A great alternative to a bouquet of roses is a Forever Rose.  A Forever Rose is a real 12” rose dipped in 24k gold and it lasts FOREVER!

#4 Lockets

Jewelry will always make her smile. Jewelry becomes even more meaningful when you create a beautiful keepsake focused around your life story. Although lockets have been around for hundreds of years, they are 2018’s hottest jewelry item, as they have been re-imagined with a new younger and modern vibe. They are a great way to create a personalized gift by placing images of loved ones inside. Some ideas for the locket: a wedding picture, a child, a pet or even a favorite saying.

#5 Perfume

Perfume is essential for personal beauty.  And what a great way to tell her you love her with the perfect scent.  Perfumes have so many combinations from earthy to spicy to fruity.  When choosing a perfume for your special lady, keep in mind her likes and dislikes. If you’re unsure of a fragrance, a designer perfume is always a safe bet.

#6 Pajamas

Sometimes a guy will instinctively think of lingerie as a Valentine’s Day gift. Let’s be honest, that is more of a gift for the guy. We recommend Pajamas from PajamaGram. The PajamaGram Women’s Velour Lounge Set is luxurious enough for sleeping but stylish enough for casual days of lounging around the house. It comes with a velour tank top plus matching pants featuring a flattering flat-tie front for the perfect blend of style and comfort. The pajamas are made with soft vintage stretch velour for a nonrestrictive fit.
