Gifting is a key component of Valentine’s Day celebrations every February 14. Valentine’s Day is a mere month-and-a-half after the holiday season, so ideas for more thoughtful gifts may be in short supply. Let these Valentine’s day gift ideas serve as inspiration.
1. Custom painted portrait: Many local artists paint beautiful portraits from photographs. Find an image you like and have it made into an even more impressive work of art.
2. Journal or scrapbook: A decorative scrapbook or journal enables your special someone to keep track of moments spent together and key milestones.
3. First date map: Gift a framed picture of a map marked with the specific location of your first date, whether it was a restaurant, park or museum.
4. Birthstone jewelry: Jewelry is a popular gift on Valentine’s Day. Make gifts even more special by finding pieces that include your special someone’s birthstone. The American Gem Society offers a handy chart at www.americangemsociety.org/birthstones/.
5. Experiential gifts: Experiential gifts may be just what is needed this Valentine’s Day. Some options include a couple’s cooking class, tickets to a sports game or concert, a vacation to a romantic locale, or a day or night out on the town.
6. Prepare a favorite recipe: Learn what your loved one enjoys eating the most and then recreate the recipe as a thoughtful gift and dinner at home.
