People always say that love is universal and how dedicating a single day to celebrate it is unfair to its ever-present nature. We all have fallen in love at least once in our lives and some never get out of that zone until their last breath. The period of an individual loving someone isn’t the most conspicuous thing one should worry about but rather how they spend that period with their loved one.
The meaning of love is subjective as people love their parents, friends or siblings to love and to be loved by them as well. But when we talk about valentine, most people think about the romantic kind of love instead of the platonic kind.
Everyone who feels for someone strongly wants to make that someone feel special on this day and gifting them something meaningful and useful is known to do the trick. We have compiled a list of some unique, original and traditional gift ideas for your valentine below:

Something for Their Daily Use
Valentine is not only for unmarried couples, but a married couple can also celebrate it to spice up their monotone routine. Married couples always look at the bigger picture when it comes to expenses, therefore, buying something that they already need in their house is a viable gifting option for them. They can browse homeware shops to figure out what they need to make their house more comfortable. Newly married couples would love to shop for their house and turn it into their dream abode.
The idea might seem unromantic and unsurprising but there is nothing better than being domestic with your spouse. The idea of decorating their house together is exciting as it gives you some quality time to spend with each other.

Five Senses Valentine Gift
This idea has gained popularity recently on the internet and has been trending for a while now. Plenty of people on the internet expressed that they would love to get something like this as a gift on valentine’s day which indicates that the idea is well-received by the audience.
It is based on the notion that when you love someone, all your senses are in love with them. You’ll have to prepare five different gifts and each of those gifts should target one of your five senses.
For instance, all edible food items can be gifted to your valentine since they target your sense of tasting. The most conventional gift for taste is chocolate but you can take things one step further by cooking something for your loved one.
Moreover, four more things must be bought to complete this gift package and each thing should target your sense of smell, hearing, touching and seeing. Perfumes, music, clothes and photo collage or movies are the few suggested items that each complement your different senses.

The Classic Valentine Gift Basket
There is no harm in going back in time and take upon a gift idea that has been around for years. You can always add a twist in it to make it fit the expectations of the modern trends.
The traditional valentine gift basket consisted of soft toys, chocolate, flowers, and a few other cutesy items. But now you can design your gift basket and add items that are according to the taste of your loved one.
Kuwaii items, scented candles and soaps, and bath bombs and several other things can be included in these gift baskets. You can also forgo the traditional flower bouquet and replace it with a chocolate bouquet.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to making a customized gift basket. The selection of gift items becomes easy when you are aware of the likes and dislikes of your valentine already. You can play games like 20 questions to figure out what your lover wants or might need in the future and include that thing in your gift basket.
Some services help you design your valentine gift boxes when you tell them the interests and preferences of your other half. They also offer themed gift boxes and baskets that are designed according to a specific theme such as comic-themed gift boxes or a Star Wars-inspired valentine gift basket.

Something to Take Care of Their Skin
We are suggesting this especially for young girls or new adults as they are more conscious about their skin’s condition. You can gift a spa voucher or a gift voucher to their favorite cosmetic shop if you want to win over their hearts.
Trust us when we say that there is nothing better than gifting a girl a spa voucher to make them feel loved and pampered. Spa services such as body and foot massage, facial treatment, manicure, and pedicure are all relaxing in nature and will lull your girl to sleep immediately.
The more relaxed and appreciated your girl feels, the better will be your upcoming few days.

You Can Never Go Wrong with the Food
The love of food knows no distinction of gender, religion, countries and everything else. Almost everyone loves food and if they don’t then they might still crave some delicacies one day or another.
You can always take out your valentine’s to eat dinner together or cook some food to make them feel special. If you are not the head of the kitchen in your house, then eating food that someone else has cooked for you as a token appreciation gives you an overwhelming feeling.

Something for Their Health
This might seem odd but gifting healthy snacks and drinks to your valentine will tell them about your concerns regarding their health. Try to be discreet and not too blatant while putting together this gift otherwise it might come off as offensive. Keep it light and healthy!
Wrapping Up:
There is much thinking that goes into deciding someone’s gift and not everyone can hit the nail home on their first try. Research and discussions with your valentine’s friends and family add credibility to your gift’s status which is far better than shooting your shot in the dark!
