Top 5 Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Her
Valentines’ Day is approaching and is yet another opportunity for you to make the ladies in your life feel extra special. However, we appreciate that great gift ideas do not come to mind every day.
In fact, for most of us, we would rather avoid run-of-the-mill gift ideas entirely. The good news, however, is that even regular or seemingly cliché gifts can be personalized to make them extra special. Here are some five gift ideas that ladies appreciate.
Chocolate
Aside from the obviously delicious taste, chocolate is a treat with many incredible benefits health wise. For starters, chocolate has been shown to be rich in antioxidants, which are good for health. Among other benefits, they reduce a person’s chances of getting a stroke.
Chocolate is also a known aphrodisiac, thus likely to provide a welcome positive nudge to your love life. As with everyone else, ladies love the cocoa butter in chocolate and how the cream and butter melts in the mouth.
To make your Valentine’s Day treats special, you could have them custom designed in any way that you think will tickle her fancy.
Depending on how much you wish to splurge, a Valentine’s Day gift basket is also a great idea. The beauty with gift baskets is that you can go for the most basic to the most luxurious gift hampers.
Wine
Wine is a perfect gift for most occasions. Either you are having a romantic date or celebrating winning a bet on the SuperBowl. Among the most obvious choices, Cabernet Sauvignon is arguably the most popular widely planted wine grape ever. For lovers of red wine, Cabernet is sure to get you in their good graces. However, for those fond of white wine, a French Chardonnay will have you sorted.
Whichever way you go, it is always a good idea to go for something unexpected, such as the rare varieties. A good example of these rare brews are the Barolo and Brunello wines from Italy, which most wine connoisseurs will undoubtedly appreciate. Other options include the Spanish Tempranillo, Portuguese Port Wine and even the South African blends.
Perhaps the best news about wine as a gift is that you can get fairly good bottles at a bargain. The Château Poujeaux, Moulis 2011 for example, is a perfect example of a fairly priced yet incredible wine.
Candles
Aside from the glorious scents she stands to derive from scented candles, the manner in which you package the candles also adds to their appeal. This is where you get creative licence. Wrap them as beautifully as you possibly can. Among the popular scents you can choose from, there is cinnamon spiced vanilla, Mango coconut, plain vanilla or vanilla bean, Georgia peach and watermelon lemonade.
The aromatherapeutic properties of candles elevate mood by stimulating the senses. For someone who enjoys taking bubble baths, they are the perfect gift. A candle lit scented bath helps relax the mind and alleviate stress. Besides, scented candles can also be enjoyed even without the bubble bath, such as during romantic nights. The candles help you set the romantic mood. They can serve other purposes too. For example, did you know that eucalyptus and spearmint scented candles can help her regain focus and concentration?
In short, there are scented candles for just about every situation. From romance to the more demanding intellectual environments, it is the gift that keeps on giving.
Flowers
Another global and time-tested gift idea is a bouquet of flowers. The beauty with flowers is that with so many types to choose from, you are always assured to get something that appeals to her. Things are even easier if you already know which flower she loves. However, even if you do not have an inkling of what her favourite flower is, you can still gift her a bouquet to match the emotion you wish to convey.
Flowers are a convenient and timeless way to convey our feelings, love and emotions. They are a vibrant and inexpensive way to communicate a ton of messages. For people we hardly know (but would love to get to know better), they are the perfect ice-breaker. Even for well to do women who seemingly have it all, you can never go wrong with flowers.
The bouquet can be as customized as you want it to be. You can therefore have a mix of all kinds of flowers that appeal to that special lady.
Jewellery
If you’re still unsure what to get, jewellery is a great option for just about anyone! Whether you buy them a personalized name necklace of a ring made their birthstone, you can make a seemingly simple gift seem incredibly personal.
If you’re unsure the style of jewellery that they like, you may want to sneak a look at what they already wear. You’ll be able to get lots of inspiration and see whether or not they already own the item you’re looking to buy for them.
Vacation
No one ever turns down a vacation. It might be too late to book a vacation for Valentines, but you can gift your significant other a vacation for a later period.
If the vacation in question is in the upcoming Easter season a tropical destination is ideal. For a truly remarkable gift, you can have a tailored safari curated in line with her interests.
For wildlife lovers, a trip to see the Big Five in the Maasai Mara would blow her mind. The game drives and incredible African sunsets are a sight to behold. Alternatively, for those inclined towards the beach, you could organize a visit to Africa’s leading beach destination- Diani beach in Kenya.
On the other hand, if the special lady is spiritually inclined, a tour of Jerusalem will be a worthwhile gift for the Easter season. Retracing Christ’s journey in the moments leading up to his crucifixion is always a welcome experience for Christian faithful.
Depending on the message you wish to communicate and the peculiarities of the special lady in question, there is always a Valentine’s day gift for everyone. We hope that the suggestions above serve as a useful inspiration for you to get that unique heartfelt gift that will eloquently convey your message. Happy Valentine’s Day!
