Top 4 Valentine’s Day Gifts

admin | February 1, 2010

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and for millions of couple around the world, that means that a personal and touching gift is in order. From roses to chocolates, jewelry to exotic travel, the vast majority of Valentine’s Day gifts aren’t too much of a challenge when you know your partner well.

These five Valentine’s Day gifts are sure to keep things warm and friendly. While a personal gift is always the best idea, it’s often difficult to find something when you simply haven’t been with your partner long enough. These five gift ideas are as close to a sure-thing as you can get, and are very unlikely to fail you.

1.    Flowers, especially roses.

Flowers are one of the most popular Valentine’s Day gifts, and it’s very difficult to argue with their success. Despite being slightly cliché, flowers are a great gift to give if you’re not absolutely sure what your partner would enjoy. While those in long-term relationships might feel comfortable giving a more personal gift, new romances are often better off sticking with what works, and roses are certainly effective.

2.    Valentine’s chocolates.

It’s hard to go wrong with a box of chocolates, especially high-end boutique chocolates and chocolate gift sets. Ask your partner what type of chocolate they prefer before you go out to buy them. So you don’t set off any alarm bells, be sure to ask them in a discrete and disguised way. Once you’ve got their chocolate preference, go out and pick up their desired strength and style, and be sure to wrap things up neatly.

3.    A Valentine’s Day card.

Sometimes a gift might seem like too much or too impersonal of a present. A simple card is often the best gift to give – it’s simple, very personal, and a great platform for sharing your feelings with someone. If you’re stuck for something to give to your Valentine’s Day date, cut the search short and settle on a nice card, a romantic dinner, and some great conversation.

4.    Charm Bracelets.

Charm bracelets are all the rage right now, and they’re undoubtedly one of the best Valentine’s Day presents available. Guys, if you’re looking for a perfect gift, pick up a charm bracelet for your girl, plus a charm for her to remember you by. A wide range of brands and styles are available, including Pandora, Nomination, and Lovelinks, all of which are particularly hot right now.

But what if your partner already has a charm bracelet? This may seem like a bad situation, but it’s really a great opportunity. Instead of worrying about finding another gift, pick up a new charm for them, allowing them to complete their bracelet with memories of you.

3 Long-Term, Low Maintenance Gift Ideas

admin | January 14, 2010

Gift giving is great fun when it’s for someone you know well. However, when you’re on one end of a reciprocal gift-giving list, choosing something that’s easy to manage can be difficult. From work colleagues to new romantic interests, gauging their desires and working out a suitable gift can be incredibly difficult.

Before you stress yourself out and buy something on a whim, check out this great lift of low maintenance gift ideas. There really are gifts that are both accessible and receiver-friendly –
meaning they’ll rarely stir the pot or cause trouble – and easy to track down and buy. For inexpensive, long-term, and very low maintenance gifts, try one of these three ideas.

1. Anything subscription-based.


Magazines, memberships, long-term recurring products – they’re all good gift ideas for keeping long-term relationships (whether intimate, friendly, or professional) going. While you’re only responsible for a one-time upfront fee, the gift really does keep on giving. From monthly subscription magazines and publications to niche website communities and recurring products, subscription-based presents can often be a really great gift idea.

2. Charm Bracelets.


Alright, so this isn’t quite a gender-neutral gift idea, but it’s still a very worthwhile gift for keeping your wife or girlfriend feeling special. Charm bracelets aren’t just a one-off jewelry buy. By their very nature, they’re something that you buy as a long-term gift. Charms are added after major events and cool occasions, and completing the bracelet is a reason to celebrate.

Instead of buying the standard gifts this year, pick up a charm bracelet and give a gift that actually keeps its long-term value. Need some simple recurring gifts? Pick up charms and add them on, increasing the visual memories of you in the process. A range of charm bracelet brands are available, but Pandora, Lovelinks, and Nomination seem to be the ones to look for.

3. An occasion to remember.

As cheesy as it may sound, sometimes the best gifts aren’t physical items but memories and experiences. While trinkets and one-off purchases are certainly fun for a little while, as a long-term gift they sometimes just don’t compare to a great experience with a close friend or lover.

These occasion-based gift ideas are perfect for long-term friends, relatives, or close partners. If you’re stuck on a gift to buy, don’t just give up and get something that doesn’t fit; choose one of these awesome experiences and give you and your friend a day (or week) to remember.

• Unless you’re a multi-millionaire, a car isn’t a great present. However, if your friend’s a car nut, why not rent their favorite model for the day and cruise through the countryside?
• Travel doesn’t always have to be expensive. If you know people in another town or city, offer to switch houses with them for the weekend, and give a refreshing travel experience without spending a cent.
• Drive out of the city for a day and enjoy a picnic and some photos. Sometimes even 20 miles are enough for a complete change of scenery and a refreshing day away from work or study.
