Looking for a new Valentines Day gift idea

By Catalogs Editorial Staff

Valentines Day is a day set aside to show your loved one just how much they mean to you. For most people, that also means it’s a day for gift giving. This year you can make it even more memorable by selecting a gift your beloved will always treasure, or creating a memory they will never forget. Whether you choose unique a gift just for them, or something the two of you will share, a gift chosen with love will make this Valentine’s Day extra special.

For the woman in your life, buy a heart-shaped locket and put a picture of yourself in it. Personalize the locket with your loved one’s initials so she’ll have something to wear that’s hers alone. Package it in a heart-shaped box or tied to fresh flowers. For your man, a good choice is the classic sterling silver ID bracelet or cuff links with his name or initials custom-engraved. Diamond studs can be given to either the man or woman in your life, as well as matching gold chains, each with half of a heart engraved with a favorite quote, scripture or your names.

Prepare your loved one’s favorite dinner and serve it on a romantically set table and dine by candlelight on Valentine’s Day. For the sweetheart with a sweet tooth, create a decadent but amazingly simple dessert by melting fine European dark or milk chocolate, mixing it with a touch of heavy cream, and serving it with fruit or cookies for dipping. ~The gift of togetherness is precious, especially given today’s busy lifestyles. How about planning a romantic getaway? Take lessons together to share in each other’s interests like dancing, cooking or sailing. Hire a personal trainer to inspire you to exercise together, or visit a day or weekend spa together. Spend a night out at the theater and then have dinner at a quiet and romantic candlelit restaurant.

For a Valentines Day gift idea for the man in your life, think about his hobbies. Surprise the tennis player or golfer with personalized golf or tennis balls that say, I love you, You’re a hit! or Be mine.. Give a cigar aficionado a monogrammed humidor or even a box of exceptional cigars. Treat the music lover to an Ipod, a wine connoisseur to a wine of the month club membership, or give a sports fan tickets for a baseball, hockey or basketball game.

A Valentines Day gift idea can range from the simple to the extravagant. From a horse and buggy ride under the moonlight and stars to a hot air balloon ride gliding high up in the sky, the only limit is your imagination.
