Sick of buying the same old chocolates and flowers for Valentine’s Day? Or stuck on what to get your boyfriend? Can’t afford a rose bear? Try something a little less traditional this year that your significant other is sure to love. Here are three easy ideas that you can try this year.
Idea #1: Letters for…
This gift is great for someone on a budget, and still extremely thoughtful. Write a series of encouraging love notes for certain situations. For example:
Open when...
You want to laugh
You miss me
You are bored
You had a bad day
You are stressed
We are fighting
You are upset
All you need for this gift is paper, envelopes, and markers to write and decorate the letters.
Idea #2: Mason Jars full of Candy
Does your sweetheart have a sweet tooth? Then this is the gift for you. Fill mason jars with candy and add corny and cute sayings printed on the jar. Here are some ideas:
Gummy worms: “Hooked on you”
Reese’s Pieces: “I love you to pieces”
Red Hots: “You’re so hot”
Swedish Fish: “You’re my favorite fish in the sea”
Gummy Bears: “Life without you would be unbearable”
Snickers: “I hope you’re not snickering at how corny this is”
Starbursts: “You make my heart burst”
Peanut M&M’s: “I am nuts about you”
Hershey Kisses: “Kisses for when I’m not here”
All you need for this gift is Mason jars (or something similar), assorted candy, paper, and markers to decorate the jars.
Idea #3: Five Senses Gifts
If you don’t have the time to make something from scratch completely, you can buy your bae five small gifts that would cater to each of the senses.
Smell: candles, flowers, perfume, or cologne
Sight: photos, jewelry, or clothes
Touch: lotion, body wash, or fuzzy blanket
Taste: candy, dinner out, or cook
Hear: favorite CD, Airpods, or concert tickets
These gifts can be small or little, whatever you can afford or are comfortable with. Easy for both guys and girls!
Whatever you decide to do for Valentines Day, remember to show bae how much you love them!
