Like it or not, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. “But the holiday is made up!” you cry. “All holidays are made up,” I reply. “You need to get your partner a gift."
So, should you get roses? What do the different colors represent again? Are lilies equally romantic, or will they be a faux pas? Even if you do opt for a dozen red roses, you still need another gift on top of them—ideally, something way more thoughtful and way less cliché.
Show your love with a drive down memory lane. Framing can be expensive, but unlike flowers, it symbolizes permanence. When we’re used to having all our photos inside our phones, taking the time to print out your photos and buy some frames is a thoughtful way to show how much your memories mean to you.
Find a way to say “treat yourself”
Self care is always appreciated, especially if you’re able to splurge on something your valentine would never get for themselves. The secret here is to combine individual items for a curated “treat yourself” package. A candle on its own is fine. A candle with a bath bomb, slippers, and a bottle of wine? Now you’ve created a DIY day of decadence.
If you’re investing in a shared experience later on, try to find a physical representation of it to wrap right now. Try a new game for game night, a couple’s bucket list, or printed out surprise concert tickets.
Show that you’ve been listening
My tip here is to turn the home cooking into a date night. You could make a show of gifting all the individual ingredients, or you could print out a personal menu to elevate the at-home fine dining experience. Even if you’re not a master chef, cooking a meal together hits basically every love language:
Acts of service. You’re literally nourishing them.
Physical touch: Brush hands while stirring marinara sauce.
Subscribe to a monthly gift
Subscription-box services make fantastic ongoing gifts. There are a ton of different subscription boxes out there that deliver curated items like books, coffee, healthy snacks, or even exotic meats and alcohol. You pay for a recurring shipment for a set period—like three, six or 12 months—in which they'll receive items tailored to the recipient's unique tastes.
Personalize Valentine’s classics
Instead of flowers, what about succulents? Or any other plant that can become a more permanent, less cliché fixture in their home? (Maybe not any other plant. Although I think a ficus can be mighty romantic.)
At the end of the day, it really is the thought the counts. If your thoughts are about how much you care about this person, then that sentiment should shine through whatever gift you land on. And if that gift happens to be flowers, I won’t stop you.
