The Secret to Finding the Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift

Valentine’s Day is only a few weeks away, and even though the shopping frenzy of the holiday season is behind us, buying gifts for your Valentine can be just as gratifying. Whether your Valentine is a significant other or someone else you’re close to, buying someone like your sister gifts on Valentine’s Day is sure to light up their smile. Finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift can be a challenge for some people, but if you want to mix it up this year and give a gift more unique than the standard flowers and chocolates, here are a few tips and ideas to help.

Get Something Meaningful Rather Than Practical

For men especially, it’s easy to get caught up in the practicality loop. Sure, your Valentine might be in need of a new hairdryer, but chances are she’d rather buy one for herself than get one with a pink bow around it. Think about getting something that will really impress her and show that you took the time to think about what she truly loves.

The same goes for people who buy repeat gifts too. If you find yourself brushing off Valentine’s Day gift-giving as just going through the motions and buying her “the usual,” then this is the year to mix it up. She’ll be excited to see that you’ve gone above and beyond to find new gifts instead of the same roses and chocolates.
 

Go for Symbolism

Sometimes the best gifts that we receive feature a message that can’t be captured in words alone. For example, sculptural figures are great gifts for any occasion and will warm hearts—especially on Valentine’s Day. Figures from Willow Tree®, for example, depict one, two, or more people in thoughtful poses. These expressionless figures speak through their gestures and serve as a blank slate for your loved one to project their thoughts and feelings about you. They’re also great, hand-painted pieces to add to any interior décor. Willow Tree® figures are perfect gifts for friends, family, and partners. Shop around to find the perfect symbolic gift for your Valentine to represent your feelings toward them and relationship with them.


Ask Around

We all need a little bit of help from time to time. If you feel like you’re stuck and can’t think of any gift ideas for your Valentine, don’t hesitate to reach out to their friends or family for ideas. Even if you know a person really well, finding the perfect gift can still feel overwhelming. Getting an outside perspective from people who know your Valentine equally well—if not more than you—will spark your inspiration and is bound to help you come up with some new gift ideas.
 

It’s the Thought That Counts

When all is said and done, Valentine's Day is just one day out of the year, and if the relationship continues growing, you’ll have plenty more opportunities to gift again. Don’t overthink your present and don’t spend three paychecks for a box of gold-plated truffles either. Keep it simple and remember that it’s the thought that really matters in the end. If you buy a gift from the heart, they’re practically guaranteed to love it.
