Sarah Guirguis If you’re worried about what to get your partner this Valentine, we’ve got you covered. You may have no idea where to begin or you’ve already exhausted all your other options in previous years, but here is a thoughtful gift guide to save the day.
Books & Journals
Always pay attention to the rambles of a bookworm because they will probably bring up what type of books they like or the books they’re looking forward to buying at some point in conversations. There are also those who will always appreciate a new journal even if they already have ten stashed somewhere in their room that are yet to be used. If that’s your partner, make sure to get designs very unique to their personality so they don’t think you just grabbed the first thing you saw at the bookstore.
A Polaroid Camera
I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love this gift. They can use it to capture special memories with you and their friends, or commemorate trips you take together. They can even do a sentimental polaroid wall at home and have fun with it. Also, don’t forget to buy them extra film to go with the camera so they don’t have to worry about figuring that part out.
Fragrances & Scented Candles
The options under this category are endless. You can opt for a luxury perfume or candle set from a high-end brand that you know they love. When it comes to scented candles, if you don’t know their preference and you’re not sure what to get, we would recommend top notes of vanilla and lavender for her, and amber and musk for him.
Unique Jewellery
I know what you’re thinking, “this is an obvious choice for women but definitely not for men.” Well, then we should introduce HUWA, but we only recommend this route if your man is naturally interested in style and fashion. As for women, make sure you know her taste or have a sense of what jewellery she normally wears in her everyday style and then her occasional formal style.
Painting Tools
For the artists and creatives at heart, this is a really precious gift. Here are your options – a new canvas and also flat, round, filbert and fan brushes. For the actual paint, you can get oil, acrylic or watercolor, and make sure they have a palette to hold and mix their paint on. Finally, you can even get them an easel, which is the wooden or metal stand used to hold the canvas.
Portable Phone Charger
Last but not least, this gift is ideal for the type of partner who is rather hard to reach at times because their phone is always dying on them. It’s functional but also sweet in the sense that you care about being able to connect better and become more in touch with them throughout the day.
