Valentine’s Day is the one day a year where you have a free pass to be cheesy AF. We are officially granting you permission to indulge in the lovey dovey-ness of the holiday. Go all out with flowers and chocolate hearts. Have a candlelit dinner. Get your Valentine something romantic.
The average American plans to spend $69 on Valentine’s Day this year, according to LendingTree — why not ensure that money is going toward something special? Nothing says “I love you” quite like a personalized gift. It allows you to show your significant other just how special they are with something one-of-a-kind and unique to them. Read more…
Some people possess an innate talent for thoughtful gift-giving. No matter the occasion or recipient, they somehow nail their gift selections year after year, cementing their status as favourite aunt/co-worker/second-cousin-twice-removed.
On the other end of the spectrum, we all know that one misguided friend or family member who gifts the same scented lotion for every special occasion. Their go-to presents are boring at best, cringe-worthy at worst, and almost always end up relegated to the re-gift pile.
For those who aren’t naturally gifted at the art of giving, we’ve done the heavy lifting for you. Below are 50 options guaranteed to help you rise through the ranks of gift-giving hierarchy — all for under £50. Read more…
Significant others are the people you know best, but sometimes they’re the hardest to shop for. Valentine’s Day can especially be a tricky holiday. How much do you spend? Do you go for an extravagant gift or keep it simple? And what about the classic “we’re not doing gifts this year,” but you still “surprise” each other with gifts anyway?
Seriously though — what *is* that?
Valentine’s Day is a great time to make your boyfriend feel loved — by showing him you’ve been paying attention and that you actually do know what he likes. Sometimes giving a gift that totally fits his personality or taste is the perfect way to do that. This guide has gifts for any scenario, whether you just started dating your boyfriend or you’re practically engaged, you’ll find something for him on this list that he’s sure to love. Read more…
Valentine’s Day can be a weird holiday to shop for. Every gift option seems to be themed and covered in hearts. That’s fun for the few days surrounding February 14, but what about the rest of the year? What are you supposed to do with a teddy bear holding a plush heart in July?
Skip the heart-shaped jewelry this year and get your girlfriend something she really wants for Valentine’s Day. Whether she’s a plant mom, into tech, or a beauty guru, we’ve got you covered. And look, we know V-Day is the sex holiday — we got you there, too. Who says Valentine’s Day gifts strictly have to be cheesy and romantic? Not us. Read more…
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with a box of chocolates or flowers on Valentine’s Day: Some things are clichés for a reason, and who doesn’t love being the envy of the office when a surprise bouquet of flowers is delivered to your cubicle, or getting to binge-eat a massive heart-shaped box of sweets?
But flowers die, and chocolates get eaten. (Probably pretty quickly, if we’re being honest.) Even a gourmet meal, one of the cornerstones of the holiday, lasts only a couple of hours.
Luckily, there are tons of incredibly romantic gift ideas out there — gifts you can keep enjoying without an expiration date. We’ve scoured the web for the best of the best, keeping in mind that not all couples define “romance” the same way. For some people, nothing says “I love you” like a gift that literally says “I love you.” Others prefer the same message spelled out in other ways, like through an activity that can be done together, or an item that shows you really know their personality. Some people embrace their inner cheeseball year-round, lavishing their significant other with adorable gifts on a weekly basis. Read more…
Happy Valentine’s Day season, lovebirds. Here’s how to impress your wife, fiancé, girlfriend, or that cute girl at work that you always flirt with in one step:
1. Don’t get her a cheap teddy bear or the on-sale necklace that Kay Jewelers is shoving down your throat.
That’s it, that’s the whole gift guide.
Okay, we’re not done yet, but you get the gist. While she’ll appreciate anything you get her (and a bouquet of roses is totally an acceptable add-on), we’re picking the bar up off the floor and giving you some legit suggestions this year. Why give jewelry every year when she’s been complaining about how crappy her laptop is? Read more…
Love or hate it, Valentine’s Day is the ideal time to right the gift-giving wrongs of the holidays. Were you sure your husband would love that faux-vintage, Bluetooth-compatible turntable, only to find out later that what he really wanted was a weighted blanket? Did you misinterpret his months of hint-dropping about homebrewing, ponying up for the perfect craft beer kit, when he was actually talking about kombucha?
Besides serving as an opportunity to fulfill leftover holiday wishes, Valentine’s Day is also a great time to make your partner feel loved. After all, nailing the perfect gift means not only showing that you’ve been listening, but really reading between the lines. The best gifts are often items the recipient wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves, or even better—things they didn’t even know they wanted in the first place. Read more…
Let’s not beat around the bush here: A lot of Valentine’s Day gift guides are just plain boring.
Sure, we can all appreciate a good bouquet of flowers or piece of jewelry — the heartfelt stuff is nice once in a while. Once in a while. Not every damn year.
It’s pretty archaic to assume that every couple thinks Valentine’s Day means mush to the max, and whether or not we want to admit it, our primal urges are constantly lurking in the shadows. Congrats on being human.
It’s time to stop ignoring the fact that Valentine’s Day is the sex holiday. And hey, sometimes spicing things up in the bedroom is the most romantic thing you can do. Read more…
2018 has been a big year for big games, and with new titles from the Assassin’s Creed, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises all competing… it’s enough to make a gamer want to just quit and play something a little more low-key. Here are some of the smaller, independent games we liked […]
