Valentine’s Day Gifts

Let’s talk Valentine’s Day Gifts.

Valentines Day is a day of love and should be recognized as such.

With love languages spanning far and wide…

It is always a good idea to know your loved one’s love language, so you can show up for them in the best way possible.

Let’s not forget that your loved ones and significant others should also be meeting you with your love language.

What are the love languages, you ask? “Acts of Service, Gifts being Received, Quality Time, Physical Touch and Words of Affirmation.”

Do you know your love language? What ways can you bestow a gift of love to yourself this lovely Valentines Day? How about your partners love language?

Breaking down your love language is half the battle and knowing your partners love language is the other half.

In this gift guide I will attempt to give you gift ideas for your special day; first by looking at love language style and delving into his and her gift idea’s that are physical and tangible presents to present and bestow on one another.

Love Language

Acts Of Service

Acts of Service: Something to wake up to, like making them breakfast in a romantic and or a thoughtful way…..or hosting a brunch for two (Valentines Day falls on a Sunday this year). This is also a great time to offer to follow through on a home project you’ve been talking about, or helping them achieve a goal they have……”Acts of service” as a love language is full of options.

If you’re married with kids, let your spouse unwind while you take charge of the kids for a few hours (no kids? Help out around the house)…..letting your significant other chill out without being on call 24-7. We all know kids’ favorite word to call out at home is “MOOOOOOM.” If your wife is an “acts of service” lady, let her take the day off, or for a few hours at least. This expands to all spouses……. if your husband or significant other normally spends more time with the kids, it may just be your turn. Spending time with YOUR kids, or your partners kids…..is not gender specific.

Gift’s Being Received

Gifts Being Received: This can be really tricky, because women and men are very particular about what they like and what they do not like. If your significant other has been dropping hints like Ralphie from “A Christmas Story” about a certain item, try and get the exact item they showed you. If your significant other has not dropped any hints, pay attention to things that they need, but do not have (if you are trying to be practical)……. but let’s be honest, as a women I can attest…….most women (not all women) want flowers and a card, and or a small gift on Valentine’s day…..with their love language somehow sandwiched in with the gift (it’s more thoughtful that way).

Quality Time| Valentine’s Day Gifts

Quality Time: I love this, because I think it’s easy to overlook connection to your loved ones and this allows you to actively engage with one another while also showing up in a romantic way. This can be done by ordering in something from their favorite restaurant, or going on a long walk and having meaningful conversations that say, “I see you, I hear you and I value you.” As this is a romantic holiday, one would assume quality time would be in the days theatrics, but QT does not have to mean crazy amounts of devout attention all day……. just plan the day and be present when the time allows. Set the expectation, set the boundaries and enjoy one another.

Physical Touch

Physical Touch: Okay, so……..this is probably a no brainer…… I would say, physical touch is the most all encompassing of all of the love languages. Why, you ask? Because it is asking you to be present with yourself and your partner, engaging in quality time with one another…..and it’s also a receptive activity, whether that be holding hands, giving a massage, or all other adult romantic activities…….GET CREATIVE.

Words Of Affirmation

Words of Affirmation:

Expression from the heart in written form is going to take you far with this love language.

If you struggle with words of affirmation, start leaving notes for your loved one around the house.

Make a journal that is private, sharing all the things you love about your partner and eventually gift it to them…..

Order a cake or a desert that has a written love note on it and be sincere. The possibilities of this love language is literally ENDLESS.

Now for the tangible gifts:

Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her

A romantic red dress for the occassion.

A thoughtful and unique pink handbag that welcomes February in with style……

A cardigan sweater to keep warm, yet play in the shades of love and Valentines Day aesthetic. It is still winter after all.

A necklace that truly isn’t basking in trying too hard to please, but says…”yay, love.”

Candles to unwind with.

Dried Floral Bouquet for that lil weirdo in your life….(Tip: Don’t buy this if you literally aren’t sure it will be received well….most women want alive flowers.)

Red lipstick, but make it old Hollywood glam…….Lipstick goes with everything.

For Him

Just some Bridgerton man basics for your man for the bottom and the top. Yes, please.

A romantic gift that says, “just as you are is fine…..it’s been a year in a global pandemic, here are some new sweats that I don’t hate.”

“Toddy” sunglasses because he’ll use them as the weather gets warmer.………And, while everyone’s face shape is different…….. these sun glasses are very masculine without trying too hard, which I love. Plus men love simple accessories, and sunglasses are a fun way to let them know you peep their individual style while noting their main objective in that, “it has got to be simple.”

Also, men “love big screens and they cannot lie”……. for all things entertainment; so why not get him his very own movie projector? Plus, on date nights, it will make it feel like you’re in a movie theatre and not living through a literal pandemic and stuck at home.

Lastly, man face maintenance…….. obviously super romantic…… Just keeping that romance alive in the home shave maintenance department. What more can he ask for?

To conclude, I hope you found this gift guide fun, lighthearted and entertaining, while also giving you some fun gifting idea’s for yourself and or your significant other.

Happy Valentines Day, Weekend!
