Valentine’s Day is coming fast! I happen to be very fond of both chocolate and flowers, but I really love personal Valentine’s gifts. What about you? Are you going for a more individual touch, or is your guy, well, too much of a guy for flowers? Fortunately, Cupid stopped in the shop recently and gave us a few Valentine’s gift ideas to help us all along!
My bridal bouquet was made of calla lilies, so when I ran across a print of a calla lily years ago, I just had to have it. It’s not a fancy piece, but it is a special piece. It has meaning. Perhaps your loved one would enjoy a framed photo of only her bridal bouquet. Or, if you are an unmarried couple, a framed image of your sweetheart’s favorite flower would make a lovely, personalized gift. Websites like allposters.com or liebermans.net have images you might consider.
Oh, as an added bonus; a picture of flowers won’t die!
Give your sweetheart a framed photo of the two of you. It could be from the night you met or a recent trip you took. My husband framed a photo of us from the evening of our 25th wedding anniversary and gave it to me as a gift. Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate your relationship and commitment to each other. This would be a way to say, “I love that we are a couple.”
If you’ve never framed your wedding invitation, now is the time to do it. It really doesn’t matter if you’re newlyweds or have been married for years, this is a romantic gesture. If you’re not there yet, frame a memento from your first date or special event you attended together. That might include the tickets, program, playbill, or even napkins from your special evening.
Valentine’s Day isn’t necessarily a time for fancy. It’s a time for romance and sentiment. Chocolate and roses are great. But you won’t regret opting for personal Valentine’s gifts!
