As we wave goodbye to the December festivities, and January Blues settle in, as a nation we look to the next occasion that gives us cause to celebrate. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to plan a romantic evening and have something to look forward to again!
Studies show that a whopping 40 million of Brits celebrated Valentine’s Day in 2021 (76%). Yet, it’s no secret that finding the perfect gift can be tricky.
To give you some inspiration, we’ve put together a brief gift guide on presents that are sure to make your other half beam on February the 14th.
Roses are Red, Violets are Blue…
…Buy her a beautiful bouquet and she’ll be sure to say, “thank you!”
Yes – red roses may be one of the most traditional Valentine’s gifts around, but that’s because they never fail to put a smile on her face.
Perfume / After shave
Although many think it can be tricky buying scents for others, when it comes to our partners we want them to think we smell good, more than anyone else! That’s why whatever you go for, your other half is sure to appreciate the fragrances you’re drawn to, if they know that you, yourself, love them!
Jewellery
Nothing says “I love you” quite like a beautiful piece of jewellery. With so many different options available from a sparkling birthstone necklace to a statement ring, or a vintage bracelet – if you shop around you’re sure to find a piece of jewellery that is as unique as they are.
Subscription Gifts
The brilliance of subscription gifts is it shows you thought outside the box a little. Not only this, but it’s also the gift that keeps on giving as you get a little treat to look forward to in the post every month. This is a constant gentle reminder to show your partner how much they mean to you. For men, try unique IPA beer subscriptions for them to try, or men’s magazines. For women, you can’t go wrong with a monthly beauty box such as GlossyBox.
Gift Wrapping
Once you’ve found your Valentine’s gift, it’s time to get wrapping! Be sure to find some beautiful Valentine’s Day wrapping paper to present your gifts within. This shows how much effort you’ve put into the process and if you do a good enough job, can even make them look professionally gift wrapped. If your wrapping sills could do with a little work, however, you’re not alone! Simply head online where you’ll find tonnes of online tutorials on how to wrap your presents in innovative ways, that are sure to impress your partner this Valentine’s Day.
