Valentines Ideas

Love it or loathe it, February 14 is coming and if your loved one is expecting a gift then you had better get organized and get yourself some Valentine Ideas!

Although you might think Valentine’s Day is pretty straightforward i.e. silly, soppy girly stuff!
Well kind of, but you’re missing the point. To score maximum points on Valentine’s Day you have to do one thing: make her feel special.

You know, like she’s the only one in the world, like she’s unique and that you care. It’s not the gift or the gesture itself, it’s what it means, and for that you have to know a little about her (see The Art of Giving- A Logical Guide for Men) maybe a card is all it will take, maybe a romantic gesture like a meal, perhaps a gift too. This article is focussed on ideas for gifts and I’m playing it safe and staying well within the normal bounds of Valentine’s Day gifts:

• Heart shapes
• Pink or Red items are usually a winner
• Anything to do with Love or Romance.

I have scoured the internet on your behalf for gifts for valentines, below are my top picks, for every budget and in a wide variety of categories and “Slush Factors”. As usual, I’m only using products or retailers I can personally vouch for.

Personalised Photo Gifts

Every time I order an item from PhotoBox it’s a winner! The ordering process is easy, the turnaround is scary-fast and the quality is suberb. Add to the fact that you now have a custom gift, just for her and you’re golden!
They have a pink mug (perfect for office coffee), a hear-shaped lazer-etched keyring (for the top-end in key rings) and lots of other bits and pieces that you can choose from.
Make sure you use a flattering picture of her, if she’s in it.
Or you could use one of yourself, cropped in a hear shape and printed on a mug for her desk. It’s up to you!

Heart Jewellery
