Use Your Talent

Whether it’s a song or composition, poetry, art or even a useful invention, giving him or her a gift like this is a lot more meaningful as it has your personal touch to it. Maybe you could even impress and surprise your valentine with a talent that you never told them about! You can even make it about your partner and do something to make them feel connected as well. 

Mini Polaroid String Lights

This is a great way to not only capture memories but a loved one’s heart. There are many shops or even the PicaPica kiosk in malls that can print out the photos in your phone as mini polaroids. You can use clip these photos on a string and wrap some faerie lights around it for that extra “zing”. It especially great for couples who have been long together who have many highlight and memories in their life.

Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice

If both of you are planning a romantic night at home on Valentines, spice things up and try out a new recipe online that the both of you can prepare together for the fun of it. It can be something you have never eaten before, it will definitely be worth the time. If you want to get out of the house, you can even bring the home cooked food out and have a picnic at a park or beach for a nice quiet night.

Jar Of Love

Although we know that you can’t contain for your love for your partner, but try to contain it in a jar with handwritten notes on the reasons you love him/her.  All you have to do buy a jam jar, fill it with some colored sand and fill it with tiny notes with reasons you love your partner.

Wax Hand Gift

It is old school and it is a gift that is close to heart. Give your partner a hand he or she can hold anytime when you are not there. The wax hands can be done in many cool colors and designs at shops. Just don’t end up giving a wax foot as it might send the wrong message!

Above all, remember...cost and does not define love! What matters is the thought and effort put into getting that gift for your valentine. Diamonds are forever, but so are your deeds.
