How To Choose A Thoughtful Gift

July 31, 2008

It’s that time of year again; time to show how much you care for that special someone in your life. Whether, you wish to go simple or really splurge, why not take this opportunity to give some thoughtful , instead of the typical Valentine’s Day presents. Eschew the typical Valentine Day’s cards, chocolates and flowers, this time round be more original with the gift you pick. Skip the store’s Valentine section of heart emblazoned mugs, boxers et al. Remember, a thoughtful present comes from the heart, not a gift that sports one. Here’s a look at some gifts that go a step beyond typical.

If, Chocolates You Must Give
Chocolates and Valentine’s Day are inseparable like peanut butter and jelly. Instead, of the typical drugstore bought chocolates, why not handpick an assortment in the heart-shaped box from a chocolate factory. Personalise your gift of chocolates with coconut haystacks, strawberry cheesecake truffles, dark vanilla marshmallows etc., or for a delicious twist on chocolates, why not a dozen macaroons in assorted flavours or a batch of biscotti to go with the morning coffee. Add a card with a personal note to tell your Valentine that like the chocolates, they enrich your life.

Jewel Tones
One can never go wrong with jewellery, though an entire pay check need not be dropped on a gold chain, silver bracelet or diamond ring. If, you can’t splurge, select some unique piece of costume jewellery, personalizing any gift of jewellery with an inscription that will bring a smile to the face.

Sexy Things
For your gal who never wears stilettos, thigh highs, fishnets or garter belts, she won’t wear it on Valentine’s Day either. Instead, why not gift her a comfortable nightdress or cotton boxer shorts. For a naughty Puss, buy her daring lingerie that will thrill and add spice to your Valentine’s Day evening.

Cotton Comfort
While, lingerie is too predictable, turn up the heat by buying 600-thread count Egyptian cotton bed sheets for the bedroom. Complete the setting with rose petals, scented candles, and whatever your sweetie enjoys!

Special Time Out With The Guys Or Gals
Why not give your special someone a weekend with the friends, it could be plane tickets to a fun locale or just a spa day. The time spent on planning this thoughtful gift will impress your significant other and show them how much you care.

Special Alone Time
When couples barely have time to spend together, the greatest gift to give is time, and romantic time at that. Think Spa gift certificates for two, a picnic basket with the promise of many special picnics in the summertime, tickets to an upcoming play or the movies.

It’s time to be original and take the clichés out of much clichéd Valentine’s Day gifts!
