Perfect Valentine Gifts for Him or Her

Submitted by Mimi on Friday, 16 January 200912 Comments

Don’t tell me you haven’t started thinking of what you are going to get your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day! Well…if you haven’t, then you should, because Valentine’s Day is in less than a month from now and I’m sure you don’t want to be going all crazy, trying to think of something last minute.

To make your job easier, I will share with you an excellent gift idea that I’ve given my boyfriend this Christmas. This gift idea will work for both genders, any budget and is sure to blow his or her mind away! So read on to find out more.
Your main goal on Valentine’s is to show how much you care, appreciate and value your significant other, as well as, to show that you have put thought into what you are going to be giving him or her on this special day. You might decide to cook dinner, which is great for those on a tight budget and totally romantic. However, if you want and can afford to take that extra step then you can create a gift package. That’s right, a gift package for all of his or her five senses.
For his eyes – put in a picture of the two of you in a frame OR a beautiful painting in a frame.
For his nose- put in a funky car freshener OR cologne OR scented candles.
For his skin- put in a satin pillow case OR thick lotion OR massager.
For his ears- put in a CD that you’ve made of his favorite songs ( artist) OR tickets to a concert OR opera.
For his taste buds- put in his favorite candies OR chocolates OR gourmet food to sample OR wine.

Wrap each gift individually and put a tag on that indicates what sense each gift is for. Finish off by placing all the gifts in a gift basket, box or a fancy gift bag. You can be creative and come up with your own gift ideas for each sense to make the gift package even more personal, because no one knows your sweetheart better than you do!

Here is a picture of my gifts collection “for all his senses” that I gave to my boyfriend.

OMG Mimi! I totally loooove this gift idea. Unfortunatley, this year I won’t be worrying about giving a gift, since there’s no Valentine for me, but the idea is awesome! And how cute is that photo of the two kids!? Your boyfriend is a lucky guy, I’m sure he loved how thoughtful you made it! Great post and idea! =)

Hey Sasha! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! You should still use the idea if you like it becuase unlike us women, men usually don’t talk about what they’ve been given as a present. Or do they? Lol

This is a great idea indeed
Last year i decided to go with the whole outfit.
I bought him a wallet, belt, tie, shirt and pants
He got me all seasons of Sex and the City, needless to say both of us were pretty happy

Great Ideas!

When it came to my boyfriends birthday I wanted to get him something fashionable without breaking the bank…

I don’t know if you have ever heard of Nixon watches ( http://www.nixonwatchesnow.com ), but they have a TON of really great styles for men and women under $100!

Good luck!
