As February continues, Valentine’s Day continues to get closer. People are shopping for their special Valentine, and some are struggling to find the perfect gifts.
Here are some great Valentine’s Day gift ideas to consider.
Tasty treats
Food is a good choice because there are many ways to personalize it depending on a person’s tastes.
For fast-food lovers, Chick-fil-A has limited-time Valentine’s Day items on their menu to help make the day of love special. For example, their menu includes heart-shaped trays filled with chicken nuggets, cookies, or brownies. Shoppers can also order the heart-shaped tray and fill it with 12 chocolate chunk cookies or even fudge brownies.
Candy is also a safe bet for anyone that’s unsure of what to get. Stores like Target have a lot of yummy Valentine-themed treats; some options include Nerds Valentine’s Clusters, Sour Punch Valentine’s Rad Reds Bites. Some good options for the valentine who loves chocolate include the Ferrero Rocher Valentine’s heart boxes, M&M’s Valentine’s variety mix, or Ghirardelli’s Valentine’s chocolate hearts. If someone has a higher budget, there are plenty of Valentine’s boxes available from See’s Candy.
For those who are looking to take their valentine out, Dewar’s or Rosemary’s are a good choice for a sweet treat. Some other good places include Sweet Bites N’ Ice, Moo Creamery, and Menchies Frozen Yogurt.
For those looking for something less sweet, a few good places to eat are Wingstop, Tengu Ramen, Ikes Love & Sandwiches, or Raising Canes. If someone has a higher budget, Black Angus offers a deal that includes an appetizer, two entrees, four sides, and a dessert for $69. If possible, make a reservation for any sit-down restaurant; Valentine’s Day is typically one of the busiest days of the year in the food service industry.
Consider what restaurants or special treats they have expressed their love for. If they haven’t really spoken up about their preferences, shoppers can always share one of their favorites with their date; it is a great way to bond and get to know one another.
Cosmetics
Many girls would agree that one can never have enough perfume. Bath and Body Works launched a collection inspired by the Sweethearts candy for Valentine’s Day. Shoppers can find many cute and affordable things a girl would love to receive this Valentine’s Day from the product line. The new collection has candles, lotions, perfumes, socks, lip oil, soaps, and bath bombs. If this isn’t the right fit for her, consider a gift card to a cosmetic subscription service like Scentbird.
As men like smelling good too, shoppers can get their valentine a quality cologne. One good and affordable cologne option is Goodfellow from Target; they offer several scent options for less than $30. For someone looking to buy a good-smelling cologne that is a bit more pricey, consider buying Jean-Paul, Christian Dior, or Versace fragrances.
Be sure to consider what they seem to use often. While some people are more likely to appreciate a nice new scent, others may prefer a quality skin care product or makeup item. No two people are the same, so the little details will help ensure it is the perfect gift.
Traditional
If someone is on a tight budget but still wants to get an affordable romantic gift, they can always play it safe and keep it traditional. Buy your valentine some flowers, a box of chocolates, or a stuffed animal.
Walmart and Target have a large selection of affordable candy, stuffed animals, and other knick-knacks for Valentine’s Day. For a classic gift with a touch of creativity, Lego now sells floral building kits, as well as a heart ornament set; this makes for a cute gift that you can then build together.
If someone still cannot come up with a gift their Valentine will love, there is always gift cards or gift certificates. Gift cards are a great way for someone to give their valentine a pick-me-up during the week with a coffee break, support their hobby by letting them get supplies, or just take a break and do something fun. Most people will appreciate a gift card to somewhere they love from someone special.
