Time certainly passed us by a little bit faster than expected. One moment we're celebrating the new years, then the pandemic hit, and now, it's already 2021. And in a few days, it'll be Valentine's day again.
Although we will most likely celebrate this one indoors again, (or probably in establishments that can accommodate a few people at a time) there's certainly no shortage of gifts to be given to the love of your life. Even in the middle of a weird future where there's a Netflix level virus spreading out and about.
There is an endless list of things to give as gifts from the usual bouquet of flowers down to even the coolest watches. Here are some of the best ideas to prep you up early.
1. Wristwatches
If you want to go all in, then a classic timepiece is the best gift. It represents that you value the time you two spent together. Another upside of this timepiece is that the user will always remember the person who gave him the timepiece whenever he checks out the time. Some models that we recommend are Montblanc, Rolex Explorer, and Omega. If you have been together for quite some time, then we suggest that you check out some luxury timepieces to make it more special!
2. Flowers
Never go on ahead and over think things. Always start with the basics. A bouquet with a couple dozen flowers in it, wrapped in a bag, (plastic or biodegradable) is a quick and effective idea. Flowers basically symbolizes fertility, love, marriage and romance. That came from the agricultural association where if there are flowers, the crops are well and fertile. But beyond all of that, a bunch of flowers in the season of love and romance is an effective move no matter what.
3. Date Night Bucket List
If you refuse to go with the natural flow of things like the usual movie and dinner date, there are sets of cool bucket list kits like what Uncommon Goods offer. This kit offers creative date night ideas written in cute craft sticks. So just pick one randomly or with your eyes closed and go for it. It will surely offer randomized activities for you and your loved one.
4. A “Start of Us” Map
Something really cool to think of getting is one of the maps that Modern Map Art offers. A map that literally can be custom made for you. This map will be able to show the literal place and path of the start of you and your lover's journey. From the time you first met up to where the two of you are now. Just figure out the GPS coordinates of every place where your most special moments happened and the Etsy maker will be able to handle the rest.
5. A Color Changing Map
One of the most important things to remember during Valentine's is to get the mood right. And what better way to set the mood than with a special lamp that changes color. Specialized room decor is a very good Valentine's day gift that won't be too expected. So getting one will be a good surprise.
6. Beer Flowers
This is a time to be a bit more creative than usual. Imagine a pack of beer bottles decorated as flowers. There are craft ideas out there on the web that will give you tips on creating Beer Flowers. These projects help make a regular six-pack look a bit more within the themes of romance. These types of gifts aren't only for guys, this can certainly be enjoyed by the both of you.
7. Cupcake Bouquet
Another DIY type of idea to give out this Valentine's is to create a bouquet type of gift that is made up of not flowers, but Cupcakes. It's a bit weird, yes. But think about the fun of eating sweets with the love of your life. Think about the romantic scene of presenting a pretty bouquet of cupcakes. That, much like the flowers is a sure win.
8. Heart Shaped Bath Bombs
Something really cool to give are bath bombs. And what better way to give it a bit more kick than to give ones that are shaped as hearts. Not only will that be within the theme of the season of love, that will also be a very sweet gesture.
9. Special Make up Sets
Valentine's is kind of like a second Christmas. Or even, a second birthday. So giving your girl the most sought after make up sets out there will be a very thoughtful move. You can also go and get what she had been wishing for quite some time. The trick there is to be able to know what make up sets and brands your girl is wishing for or wanting to have.
10. Bath Oils Gift Sets
Take the bath essentials theme rolling with some Zen bath oils. There are variants out there that are all natural and extremely gentle to the skin. These are multi purpose oils that can be used as bath oil, body oil, and even hot oil hair treatment.
11. Watching a Concert. Online.
There will be quite some time to go through in order for things to go back to normal again. This means that the good old days of going out and watching shows will take a while to return. But if you and your loved one are enthusiasts of live shows, a simple run through YouTube or any sort of streaming websites can give you a chance to watch a live performance again. Get cozy, open up a bottle of wine and load up on some chips and go watch a Paramore show and cuddle when the love songs kick in.
12. Watching Romantic Movies
Speaking of watching things, another sweet activity to do is for the two of you to go and binge on romantic films. All while the vibe of your color changing lamp and flowers boost the love hormones. You can watch things like Valentine's Day, The Notebook, Before Sunrise, The Holiday, Hitch, 50 First Dates, the choices are endless. Throw in Titanic in there too for good measure.
13. Stargaze
To help cap off the evening, (or at least the first part of the evening) why not go and set up a mat and candles near the window, or if you have a good open roof, set up there and gaze at the stars. Stargazing is always a beautiful experience. A good plus is if one or even two of you are familiar with a few stars and constellations. You can both point out the different ones.
In the end, it all comes down to you
These are just a few tips and pointers for possible strategies and gestures you can go for this coming Valentine's. Right at that very moment, that very fateful day, your charm will be the most important factor in all of this.
