Valentine’s day, the day when lovers get together and take the time to spoil one another and show their appreciation, is just around the corner. It is a time when you can sometimes find it hard to think of the perfect gift. Shops are festooned with heart shaped novelty items, squashy teddies and flowers aplenty, but if you want to give your partner something that is a bit different and something with more thought behind it, here are some valentines gift ideas that might work well…
Food and Drink – Most people enjoy a delicious meal, and of course you can take them out to a restaurant for the evening. But restaurants can be fully booked and more expensive on valentines day, so why not create a delicious meal for your partner at home? Taking the time to cook them a favourite dish or even surprise them with a favourite pudding or cake, is always something that is appreciated, and you can have the evening to yourselves rather than being squashed into a restaurant with other couples.
A Hand Knitted Jumper – If you are a creative type and a whizz with a pair of knitting needles, then putting in the time to make them something that is both useful and an expression of your love is a great gift idea. You can get what you will need at local knitting shops, or buy a knitting kit online from somewhere like this woolcouturecompany.com/collections/knitting-kits
A Day Out – In our busy modern lives, simply spending quality time together doing the things that we enjoy as a couple is something that many of us don’t get as much time to do as we perhaps would like. Organising a day out to something that they will love, whether to a favourite city, or a particular event is a great gift.
Doing Something to Help Them – Another thing that will go down well if you are a busy couple, is doing something that will save them time and effort themselves. It might be something like giving them a lie in and doing all the housework that day, or it might be doing a job that will please them, such as tidying the garden.
