Thoughtful Valentine's Day Gift Ideas For Your Partner
Posted on: 10/02/2023Valentine’s Day is around the corner, which means it’s time to wow your partner. In 2022, the predicted spending for Valentine's Day in the UK jumped to £990 million, which is nearly a 15% increase on the previous year. But money isn't everything when it comes to gifts. A thoughtful Valentine's Day gift idea will guarantee your place in your partner's good books. You might need a little helping hand when deciding on Valentine's Day gifts, but don't panic. Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling…
A photo album or scrapbook
Sometimes, the least expensive Valentine's Day gifts can be the most thoughtful. By taking the time to compile a memory book filled with photos, you’re guaranteed to put a smile on your partner’s face. Many people opt for printed photo albums that can be ordered online in a hardback book, meanwhile others might go for a more old-school approach by printing out pictures themselves and slotting them into an album.
You can go one step further by adding pieces of memorabilia into the mix – things you might have kept over the years. Tickets from a gig, a trip to the theatre or from a memorable exhibition can be great items to add to showcase moments you've shared. You might even have hand-written letters or postcards.
A reservation at their favourite restaurant
Nothing says 'thoughtful Valentine's Day gift' like food, let's be honest. By making a reservation at your lover's favourite eatery (or one they've always wanted to visit), you'll not only get to eat delicious food together, but it's also an excuse to spend quality time at a table for two. Even better if you can keep it a surprise.
A precious watch or piece of jewellery
Want to truly treat your partner? Why not invest in a piece of jewellery they’ll treasure forever? Gift ideas for Valentine's Day might include a designer watch for him or a diamond piece of jewellery for her (or vice versa!). The important thing is that you've taken time to choose the right item, rather than rushing through with a purchase for the sake of it.
You may prefer to go into a store to choose together, seeking the opinion of the experts who work there. You can’t go wrong with investing in timeless, statement pieces – and you can be sure that your thoughtful Valentine's gift won't be tucked in the back of a drawer.
A hamper filled with their favourite treats
If you need inspiration, Pinterest has endless hamper concepts you can draw from. You can customise Valentine's Day gift ideas for him and for her , depending on what goodies they'd prefer. It might be that you gather everything in one big shopping trip or pick up random items over several weeks or months. Regardless, it's sure to go down a treat.
A personalised item
Personalising a gift makes it unique and it’s a thoughtful Valentine's Day gift idea as it's something they can cherish forever. You can personalise almost anything – the hardest part is deciding what to choose!
You might go for a guitar pick, a piece of artwork, a make-up bag or a set of pyjamas. Have a think about their different hobbies and see whether you can get creative with your personalised gift. Securing a gift that you know they'll get plenty of use out of is the way to go.
