The month of February is known to be the season and month of love. In general, surprise gifts on Valentine’s Day are regarded as tokens of friendship and everlasting love, wherein the tradition of giving special gifts for loved ones had started more than years ago and is still being practised to showcase the love that we feel towards our partners’ families and special 

someone. 

Not only does a gift box represent your love towards your partners, but it also represents the time that you’ve spent together and reminds people about the special memory you’ve shared with each other. During the 18th century, this special day became strongly associated with lovers and celebrated it as much as we do today with sweet words/actions and exchanging gifts. 

This tradition began more than 200 years ago, where boys write special letters of love, signed cards and give their surprise gifts to their partners.

Though Valentine’s Day firstly started as a liturgical celebration in honour of the memory of St. Valentinus, Valentine’s Day has transformed its meaning in connection to his way of performing forbidden weddings among soldiers & giving aid to Christians—which on the other hand, show the power of love despite all odds. 

Legend has told that St. Valentinus healed the daughter of his jailer and sent her a letter signed as ‘Your Valentine’, and that was the time when giving letters to their loved ones during Valentine’s Day has started. Valentine’s day only happens annually. 

And with fast approaching ‘love month’, it is just reasonable to say that searching for gifts that will show your affection and romantic love for your partner should be made more special and unique—something that will commemorate your love for her in the succeeding years to come. 

Want to make your gift box more than just memorable? 

Below are a few of the Valentine’s Day gift ideas that you can use for celebrating your special day with your loved ones:

Scented Candles

Does your partner really love to eat, then use his/her culinary weakness to make your special day around her favourite foods for a romantic candlelight dinner! Pick a romantic place for your plan, perhaps, a place which means a special memory for the both of you, or if not, a small dinner for two at your garden or dining room can also be a good option. It’s the best ambience to make your romantic dinner can be set at dusk or when the night falls. Spice up the room/place with scented candles to make the atmosphere even more romantic, elegant and exciting. 

Flowers

Though it looks pretty usual, giving flowers to your loved ones is still on top of the list when it comes to celebrating Valentine’s Day. Though flowers easily die after a few days, many women still like receiving flowers from their partners. If you have a good idea about her favourite colour, then you can arrange for flowers that will jive to her favourite colour (but make sure she doesn’t have any allergies to flowers). 

If you don’t have any idea of what she loves, then the red rose is one of the fantastic gift ideas you can offer her, as the colour red generally symbolizes love and passion. 

You can also get the flowers decorated in the form of a unique and beautiful bouquet. Perhaps, you can give your flower while making your candlelight dinner. Hence, the smell of scented candles can heighten her feelings and happiness while you give your gift. 

Chocolates

Sweets have been one of Valentine’s Day’s most common gifts, yet they still don’t go out of fad. Many women love sweets, and mostly it is associated with sweet love and romantic meaning, thus making it a good gift for the occasion. Of course, there will always be a special meaning behind whatever size or shape you choose. 

But instead of giving it directly to her, why not wrap it with creative Valentine’s gift wrap and place a card to place some thought on it. For this once-a-year occasion, you can opt for heart-shaped chocolates as a symbol of your love towards her. Not only will it make her happy, but it can also help you highlight the special occasion.

Picnic for two

If your loved ones don’t tolerate the whims of receiving gifts, a simple effort to bring her to the place she loves will be a good gift for her. As the saying goes ‘action speaks louder than words. Thus, make it happen by giving her quality time only between you and her? You can arrange for a simple pick-nick with only the two of you in a particular place. Prepare in advance to decorate the surroundings, or yet, make it a little creative by scattering or making a heart shape symbol out of your scented candles. 

Always remember that Valentine’s Day is not really that complicated. Plan early for your surprise and buy something thoughtful which will express your love towards her. If you can show her your effort, time and thought into your gift, surely, they will love it regardless of what you give, whether it is cheap or not. So think of a romantic and creative gift for your loved ones this upcoming Valentine’s Day, and ensure that it will be the most special day of her life.
