You start by steering clear of the overdone, generic gifts of chocolate and flowers. While the lady in your life might appreciate these from time to time, the rich cliche centers of a box of chocolate won't do much in terms of showing just how much you care.
What matters is finding a unique Valentine's Day gift for the lady in your life that really reflects upon who she is as a person and something that she truly wants but just won't buy for herself.
1. Picnic Hamper
When you set out for a day at the beach, a quick hike to the nearest river or deep into a forest, you're going to wish you had a picnic basket or at the very least, the lady in your life is when the munchies hit! So what better way to prepare for regular, romantic outings than with a picnic basket. But don't settle for just any basket. A picnic hampers with built-in, padded sections for things like cutlery, a few plates and napkins, and some bottles of wine is ideal.
2. Handmade Leather Journal Cover
When she writes down all of the important spots she has, no doubt the lady in your life uses whatever paper is available. But you can change that by investing in a leather journal with a handmade leather journal cover to protect every sweet thought or note she has.
Better yet, invest in getting the leather journal cover engraved with a sentimental saying, or write something in the first few pages about how much you care. You can even go so far as to invest in a leather journal cover with a brand new journal inside of which you write random reasons why you love her or happy memories you shared across various pages.
3. Calligraphy set
Don't just get her a special pen. If she likes to write notes, get her a calligraphy set that includes multiple sets of different colored ink, a quill pen, and multiple tips for a said pen. Go above and beyond by getting her some wax and a customized seal.
4. Heated Massage Pillow
With a heated massage pillow, she can wrap this pillow around her neck and the bottom of her head at the end of a long day and relax as the machine not only keeps her warm but gives her a deep shiatsu massage, something she can enjoy while sitting in front of the TV or checking email on her computer.
5.Party Games
Invest in some fun party games you can play together on a date night or a fun adult card game that she can play when she has a girl's night. Reconnecting over some laughs that don't involve electronics, is a great way to rekindle the love and affection for each other.
6. Inflatable Couch
Get your lady an inflatable couch, one that becomes a full lounger and can easily be taken down when the day is over. This is perfect for summertime swimming pool parties or a day at the beach.
When you head out on the local river, you can take this inflatable couch with you and sail across too secluded sandy sections that no one else can get to. Go the extra mile and find a design that has cup holders and a space to put things like sunglasses.
7. Night Gown with Pockets and Slippers
When your lady is relaxing at home, you can help her be a bit more comfortable by investing and comfortable woven bootie slippers that she can wear around the house to keep her feet warm. A matching warm nightgown complete with pockets to snuggle her hands into will finish the look.
8. Nail Kit
Instead of hearing your lady ask for foot massages or talk about the price of a trip to the nail salon, you can provide her with an at-home nail kit, specifically one that comes with a foot basin and massage features for her feet. No girl will turn her nose up at a home foot spa! Nothing will help her relax more than the entire kit she can use to customize her nails and a relaxing foot soak and massage.
9. Princess Hair Brush
Don't let her brush her hair with anything other than the perfect hairbrush. This brush uses soft boar bristle & nylon threads to reduce electrostatic charges and fly away hairs. Made in Germany, this high-quality hairbrush is perfect for real hair and extensions with an ergonomic handle from beech wood and an anti-static lacquer across the entire brush.
10. Spa Gift Voucher
Every lady loves a chance at the spa, but spas are usually reserved for special occasions. And what better occasion than Valentine's Day to get your lady a spa gift voucher. Find a local spa that you think has services she would like most, and get a voucher for specific services something like a couples massage or some time in a float tank, even things like a facial and massage package.
11. Splash-Proof Beach Bag
Going to the beach for a day trip should be easy and you can make sure it is with a splash proof beach bag big enough to hold things like a few towels, a beach blanket, big floppy hat, sunscreen, book to read, and whatever else your lady likes to pack.
You can't go wrong with any of these ideas. Find an idea you like most that you think she would love and if you can swing it, customize it just a bit so that it truly comes from the heart.
