If you are a busy one with lots of commitments on your shoulders, then you are most likely to need a last-minute Valentine’s gift to show love to your partner on this special day. Here are some ideas that will make your life easier when deciding what to get.
If you haven’t been able to save up for an expensive gift, then you can resort to these ideas that we honestly think are way more thoughtful because we believe Valentine’s Day is all about going out of your way to make your valentine feel special.
For Her:
A box of scented candles
If you want to buy a gift other than the expected flowers and chocolate, then scented candles are the way to go! Scented candles are not only every girl’s favourite, but they are also seen as a romantic gesture, making them totally appropriate for the occassion. Try to buy a box of candles with a variety of scents. This way, your gift will be unique, and whenever she lights them up, it will always remind her of you.
Romantic scavenger hunt
Nothing will excite your partner more than a scavenger hunt! Leave clues for your partner to follow until she reaches a desired destination. The treasure hunt can range from leading her to a hidden gift or a prepared dinner with candles under the moonlight. This will take a little time. Just make sure to leave clues around the house for her to follow, and let your imagination lead the way!
Dinner with a view
If you happen to be in Egypt on Valentine’s Day, then you are a lucky one! In only a few hours, you can have dinner with a sea view. A spontaneous trip to Ain Sukhna or Alexandria is a perfect gift to get her away from her everyday hectic, demanding schedule. If all else fails, then try out a Nile view by renting out a felucca, and make sure to have a playlist ready.
Pamper her with a day at her favourite beauty salon
We cannot stress enough how this gift will make her remember how much she loves you. Getting her an appointment to get pampered for a day is not only an easy last-minute gift, but it also will help put her in a good mood for a lovely dinner at night.
Get her a rescued puppy
If you want to show her your heroic side, then nothing will do better than rescuing a street dog from a shelter and sharing it with her. This will show your soft and sensitive side, and will give her something that will grow along with your love.
For Him:
Write a letter and create a photo frame
Although actions speak louder than words, expressing your feelings to your partner is a necessary part in a relationship. You can take this Valentine’ Day as a chance to refer back to the old ways of showing your love through words. Write your significant other a letter and create an envelope using coloured paper. You can also write reasons why you love your significant other and put it in a box or jar labelled with their name. Preparing this gift will take you almost no time, but it’s more meaningful than any expensive gift. We even recommend you include a letter or a card along with any gift you decide to go with.
If your artistic abilities aren’t so great, you can create a digital photo gallery for your partner. It’s fast and easy. To make it extra special, you can create a movie of your most precious moments together. Top this gift with some chocolate and you’re good to go.
Bake a cake
Some say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. If you happen to bake heavenly desserts, then making your significant other his favourite dessert is definitely a great idea. You can make it extra special by writing something special between the two of you on it. Put in a box, wrap it in his favourite colour and place it somewhere he can see the moment he gets home.
Take him to his favourite action movie
Let him choose the movie, and not you, for once. Considering the love you have for him, you can handle two hours of “xXx: Return of Xander Cage”. This is the best way to show your love to your partner, and make him feel special.
Games
Guys never grow out of the gaming phase! If you have some money to spend, make your man happy by buying him the new FIFA 17 game he always wanted! You can even promise, one day, to be player number 2.
