Valentines day is almost here, and everyone is rushing about trying to get the perfect gift. Ladies already got gift ideas for their men. It’s only fair that the men also return the favour. Flowers, perfumes and chocolates aside. There are other great gifts you can get your lady. Here are a few ideas that will work well.
1. Jewellery
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but any cool new piece of jewellery will come close for valentines day without you spending all your savings. Chunky bracelets or long-hanging pendant necklaces with precious stones are accessories ladies will be happy with. Give them something new to show-off the next time they leave the house. The good thing about jewellery is she can always exchange it for another piece if you didn’t quite ‘get’ her style.
2. Weekend getaway
This year valentines day falls on a Friday. It’s a great chance to get away from the rest of the world and rekindle the romance in your life. Rent a car or take the train and get out of the city, somewhere close by. Stay a night in a lovely secluded lodge or camp out together. It will be a great way to make her the only focus of your mind and time, something she will totally enjoy.
3. Body care basket
Ladies could always use a re-fill on their makeup. Get a body care basket with her favourite brands of make-up, some body shower gels and scented bath oils. Make sure you pick something you have seen her use before or heard her talk about. If you’re in doubt, get her a voucher to a store that stocks it so she can pick everything out herself.
4. A purse/handbag
There’s this new trend where women make their men carry their purses or handbags. If you’re going to be stuck doing this, a purse is something to get your lady this valentine’s day. Pick out something classy and of good quality for her. If you can’t decide, ask one of her friends to help you out. Or simply go for a simple leather bag that will fit most of the things you know she always has to carry. It’s a chance to please your lady, but you also get to choose a bag you won’t be ashamed to be seen carrying around.
4. Photo Book
There’s no better way to celebrate your love than with a trip down memory lane. With digital cameras and phones with cameras, no one ever prints out photos. Why not get a photo book and caption some of your best moments? Write a little bit on each page accompanied by the photos. It will be a great gift as she sees how much effort you put into it and the quality of the photos won’t even matter that much.
