Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about how to treat the special woman in your life. If she’s already seen and done it all, it can be challenging to find a present for her that goes above and beyond the traditional. This list of items features unique gifts that will spark her imagination and remind her of you long after the holiday is over.
Venture outside the heart-shaped box
Drugstore candy boxes that line the seasonal shelves may check a box or two when it comes to gift-giving, but thinking creatively lets her know that she’s worth the effort. Instead of buying snacks, look for meal kits or recipe books that will encourage you to make and enjoy meals together. If chocolates are a must, seek out unique flavors and ingredients that set yours apart from the usual.
Think past the holiday
Valentine’s Day is only one day out of the year. Gifts that she can use and enjoy long-term are thoughtful and much more practical than a dozen wilting roses. Think about her favorite activities and consider what items and accessories will enhance her everyday life in simple but meaningful ways.
