This could be particularly difficult during Valentine’s Day, when everyone seems to be fetching the same red roses and heart-shaped chocolates.
If you want to go beyond the ordinary to impress your special someone, we’ve got a comprehensive Valentine’s Day gift guide to make this day unforgettable for both you and your loved one.
When is Valentine's Day in 2024?
Just like in most countries, Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day, is celebrated on February 14th. And while it isn’t a public holiday in Australia, it is still an occasion widely observed to celebrate all forms of love.
5 Tips on Choosing the Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift
It’s not about choosing the most popular Valentine’s Day gifts—it’s about selecting the most meaningful ones that resonate with your beloved. Here are five tips to guide you in selecting a one-of-a-kind present that will make your loved one’s heart skip a beat.
Understand Their Preferences
Make a list of their interests—from their likes and dislikes to their passions and hobbies. Consider the things that spark joy in them, such as their favourite flowers or food. Tailoring your gift based on their preferences shows that you’ve put genuine thought into making the day special for them.
Add a Special Touch
Going for a personalised gift adds a unique and sentimental touch to your gesture. It doesn’t only make the gift unique to your relationship, but it also displays the effort you’ve invested in creating something specifically for your loved one. For example, giving them their favourite blooms arranged in a custom bouquet with a heartfelt letter can transform a simple gift into a profound expression of love.
Take a Trip Down Memory Lane
Memorialise shared memories through your gift. Whether it’s a photo of you two from your journey together, a playlist of songs you both love, or an object that holds sentimental value, choosing a gift that reflects your shared experiences adds a nostalgic touch.
Consider the Presentation
It’s not only about how your gift is wrapped—it’s also about how you present it. Think about the creative and unexpected ways you could give your special gift, like a scavenger hunt or a surprise delivery to their home. This way, your gift could turn into a memorable experience in itself.
Think Beyond the Material Things
Sometimes, the perfect gift is an experience, not a material thing. Consider giving the gift of shared moments and unforgettable experiences to your loved one, such as a romantic dinner date or a quick weekend getaway. These experiences also help deepen the bond between you and your partner.
