The highly anticipated Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. This is the time when people around the world are scrambling to find the perfect gifts for their special someone.
Celebrated on February 14, this is the time when couples express their most sincere feelings to each other. It is a day dedicated to love, heartfelt expressions, and affection. On this day, people exchange flowers, cards, and tokens of love with their loved ones.
With a few days left for Valentine's Day, if you are still on the lookout for the best gift for your partner, you have come to the right place. We have curated a handpicked list of meaningful and affordable Valentine's Day gifts, that you might consider giving to your special someone:
Personalised accessories
If your special someone is fond of jewellery, then you must consider giving them a bracelet, necklace, or keychain with their initials engraved on it. These small yet meaningful touches carry sentiments that last a lifetime.
Customised gadgets
This is yet another option that is easily accessible and does not cost much. From monogrammed phone cases to personalised wireless chargers, tech-savvy gifts add a modern twist to classic romance.
Luxurious skincare
This Valentine's Day, pamper your loved ones with a skincare set — hydrating masks, serums, and fragrant lotions. Self-care is an expression of love.
Staycation
In today's modern age, couples are getting more attracted towards staycations, rather than planning a full vacation. If your partner often looks for any excuse to travel, then staycation can be another option to consider this Valentine's Day.
Life insurance policy
Though slightly morbid, gifting your partner a life insurance policy can also be considered a great option. Making them the nominee in the policy will show that you want them to be financially secure even after death.
Candlelight dinner
Plan on taking your partner for a candlelight dinner this Valentine's Day. Look out for the perfect romantic places around you and book seats before time runs out.
Customised greeting cards
Rather than opting for regular gifts, you should think about making a greeting card for your romantic partner and pen down whatever you wish to say to them. Self-made gifts always carry immense sentimental value and an emotional touch to them.
Candles
Nitya Khanna, Founder of homecouturecollective.com explains why candles are the most underrated gifts.
"A well-chosen candle instantly transforms any space into a cozy, romantic retreat, elevating the mood and creating an atmosphere conducive to connection. Further, the flickering flame and captivating scent of a candle engage the senses, evoking feelings of warmth, comfort, and desire, making it a sensual gift choice. With a myriad of scents and designs available, one can tailor the candle to match partner's preferences. A good quality candle serves as a lasting reminder of your love, specially if you choose to go for a candle that serves as a an decorative piece too."
Frames, mirrors, wall plates, and corbels
One can opt for frames, mirrors, wall plates, and corbels, to lend it a new look.
Sangeeta Vasishta, Founder of revivehome.in said, " We would recommend you to give gifts based on the personality of your loved ones. Go for unconventional , cultural heirloom yet trending. Nowadays wall adornments are very much in vogue. You can fift your loved one the wooden colourful cow heads or wooden plates, depicting different deities. This will give an interesting twist to the common surface."
Perfumes
A great Valentine's Day perfume is a wonderful way to express feelings and make someone special feel even more extraordinary. According to Mocemsa, a perfume brand, fragrances are an exquisite expression of love.
