Choosing Great Valentines Day Gifts For Girls
With Valentines Day soon on its way, many girls will have already circled the date on their calendar, begun thinking about where to go and chances are they have also picked an appropriate outfit and even thought about what they hope you have for them too. Many of them will have already planned the perfect Valentines Day gifts for their man too. As the day is so soon after Christmas, often girls will save one of the stocking fillers they had planned then for their special day in February.
However, for men Valentines Day tends to follow an altogether more standard process, often using the same typical ideas year-in and year-out. As the responsibility to organise something great and romantic for their girlfriends usually falls to them, the Valentine’s process normally involves hurriedly ringing up a local restaurant on February 13th and begging them to find a time slot. Then, if they are slightly prepared, they will get a bouquet of great flowers delivered to their workplace (so all their friends and colleagues can see) and maybe even a cheeky box of luxury chocolates involved as well. They then have to buy the obligatory Valentines Day card and think of a meaningful message to scrawl inside. If guys are really throwing themselves into it and trying to win some brownie points, they will then give their girl a nice pair of earrings or another piece of jewellery. After all diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
Whilst obviously the whole point of a Valentine’s present is the gesture and these Valentines Day gifts show your loved one that you have thought of them and have tried to get something that will put a smile on their face, to really make them happy the key is to get unusual and unique Valentines Day gifts. One easy way of showing you have thought of them is to create a personalised present. Not only does this show you have taken time to make something special, but it is also an easy process and, importantly in these tough times, easy on the wallet as well.
For a special twist on a traditional gift, engraving jewellery and other trinket items is a lovely way of making a typical present very personal and very special. Champagne flutes and wine glasses can also be engraved and make a nice keepsake for you both. An accompanying bottle of plonk would also go down a treat! On pendants, bracelets and anklets, you can engrave your partner’s name, a message for her to enjoy or perhaps even a lyric or a line from a favourite poem. To really get the “wow” factor, you could even engrave a silver jewellery box and put a special bit of bling inside (an engagement ring would be the cream of the crop!)
For more light-hearted gifts, you can use special photos from great shared memories to create a personal present with a professional finish. A great idea that is particularly fun for Valentines is that of the shared calendar. The calendar format is easy to fill in with your own events and dates that mean something special to you. You can also upload photos that are relevant to the pair of you and use them to show the progression of your relationship on the calendar months. This is a great idea for those of you who are celebrating anniversaries and they make great keepsakes for future years to come.
Additionally photos can be used for other home accessories such as specially printed photo albums, mouse mats and even customised pillowcases. The process is really simple as you simply have to upload your photos of choice and then crop and change them to suit the item you are personalising. A mouse mat covered in a collage of personal photos would be a great memento for your girl to take to work and mugs can also be adapted to include pictures and images from your own collections. One particularly popular product is that of the heat-sensitive mug. This appears to be just one plain colour, but when filled with boiling water reveals various photos of choice below; a great interactive gift.
For something completely different, you could buy her an experience day package. These come in form, allowing your girlfriend to choose from a whole range of options such as a pampering session at a well-known spa, cooking lessons from a Michelin star chef, the chance to learn how to make chocolate, a hot-air balloon over the locality or even the opportunity to learn how to scuba dive; the world could be her oyster.
Whether you want to surprise your lady with a new experience to remember, a personalised photo gift or a stunning piece of engraved jewellery, giving a personalised gift this Valentines Day is the way to put a smile on her face on February the 14th.
