Choose a flavour that you and your bae enjoy the most. Since it is V-Day a red velvet cake is what would be perfect. You can also pick a chocolate cake. It is the go-to flavour for most people. Also, what better way to express love than with chocolate?
- Handwritten Love Letter: Smartphones and social media have made the idea of writing a love letter an ancient practice. But during the season of love, what better way to indulge your beloved than to write a heartfelt love letter on some beautiful stationery? A scented pen can add to the charm of the letter.
Believe it or not, even in the age of the internet, everyone appreciates a love letter. This is something your loved one will cherish forever.
- Greeting Card: If you are someone who really can’t pen their thoughts into enticing words, no worries!! During the Valentine’s Day season, gift shops are flooded with greeting cards. The poetic messages in these cards can set any individual’s heart aflutter.
Pick one that resonates with your feelings. Personalize it with your name and theirs. You can also add cute doodles. If that seems too much, small stickers will also do the job.
- Bouquet: Flowers have been speaking the language of love for eternity. Roses, that too the red ones are the most bought flowers during the Valentine’s season. Get one made for your special someone or just get it delivered to them as a surprise.
You don’t compulsorily have to say it with roses. You can also get a bouquet with an assortment of flowers. This will be a pleasant change for sure.
- Chocolates: This is another gift idea you can never go wrong with on Valentine’s Day. Special chocolate boxes are designed and sold for the occasion. You can find these anywhere from your local supermarket to the baker down the street. You can go for assorted flavours or stick to the ones you are sure your beloved will like.
- Personalized Gifts: These days you can personalize anything and everything. From coffee mugs to key chains, cushion covers to jewelry you can get anything personalized. All you need is a little creativity and you are all set.
Personalization does not necessarily have to be a photograph. You can also do it with a message. It could be a romantic message or a quirky one.
- Special Gift Card: Not sure what your Valentine is in the mood for? Well, the perfect gift in such a scenario would be a gift card. You can gift a card from an online or offline store.
This is a safer bet for sure because you won’t end up disappointing your significant other. Especially if he or she is someone extremely particular about their choices.
- Customized Photo Album: The idea of photo albums these days is confined to a folder on phones or laptops. But, what if you get the best memories of you and your beloved printed and then stick them into a photo album?
You can easily find customizable photo albums in the market or online. Stick the pictures into this album and personalize this with some quotes and doodles.
A small gift goes a long way in bringing a smile to your special someone on the Day of Love. Add to this a movie night or a dinner date and you can be sure that you have made your feelings loud and clear to your Valentine.
So, go ahead and plan your V-day well in advance. With so many options, a little bit of thought is all that you need to make the grand gesture that you have been aiming for.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
