Throughout time, gift-giving has remained an expression of affection. Every year, Valentine’s Day is celebrated on Feb. 14. Exchanging gifts on Valentine’s Day has remained a popular tradition for couples. Here are five Valentine’s gifts your partner will love.
Gift Basket
Gift baskets are perfect for Valentine’s Day. They’re a great way to impress your partner and show them that you care. In gift baskets, you should appeal to the five human senses. These senses are touch, taste, smell, sound, and sight.
As a guideline for the gift basket, you can appeal to touch by incorporating something soft. This could be a stuffed animal or a cozy blanket. Next up, taste — think of comfort food and snacks that your partner likes. As for smell, scented candles, and flowers are fantastic options. With attention to sound, digital playlists on Spotify, new headphones, or even concert tickets are essential to making your gift basket. Lastly, sight – make the gift basket look appealing. Use a cute basket, add in your partner’s favorite colors, photos of your favorite memories, and a love letter to take it to the next level.
Chocolate Strawberry Bouquet
Dazzled with chocolate and love, this isn’t your ordinary bouquet. Not only is this a delicious treat, this chocolate strawberry bouquet will get you a one-way ticket to your partner’s heart. For the bouquet, you will need a box of strawberries, bamboo skewers, wrapping paper, decorative ribbon string, and a chocolate bar of your choice.
First, melt your chocolate bar using a microwave, wait for it to cool down, then dip the strawberries in the chocolate. Afterward, put the chocolate-covered strawberries in the fridge and chill for approximately ten minutes. Once the strawberries have been chilled, assemble them on the skewers, and wrap them neatly in the gift wrapping paper. Make sure to secure the bouquet with the ribbon string.
Jellycats
Known for their iconic smiley design, Jellycat offers adorable plushies at various price points. They’re the perfect gift for your plushie lover. For Valentine’s Day, The Amusebles Val & Tina Love Locks are a great choice. The Love Locks are an adorable pair of hearts locked together for life, symbolizing you and your partner’s everlasting connection.
If you’re looking for something less eye-catching yet still cute, Jellycat’s Bartholomew Bear is an excellent choice. They can be ordered on the Jellycat website. And if you’re in New York City, consider taking your partner to the Jellycat Diner in Fao Schwarz’s Rockefeller location for the ultimate Valentine’s Day experience.
LEGOs
There’s nothing more romantic than building a LEGO set with your partner. From flowers to model cars, LEGO has an assortment of sets for you to choose from. They’re suitable for all ages, making them a fantastic Valentine’s Day gift.
They recently released a 3-in-1 typewriter with flowers set. It can also be built as a keytar, flowerpot, notebook, and pen. The set’s versatility and energetic colors make it a lovely gift for this occasion. But if the colors aren’t to their liking, consider their Mini Orchid set, which features warmer colors and a gorgeous orchid plant. These sets are available for purchase at LEGO stores and on the LEGO website.
Origami Heart
The most affordable option on this list, origami hearts remain a charming gift. All you need is craft paper, your love, and a bit of personal time to make them. You can find origami heart tutorials on social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Origami hearts can be added to cards and gift baskets as a finishing touch to your Valentine’s Day gift.
