Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and whether you’re searching for a romantic gift for your significant other or for the special platonic relationships in your life, it’s a day to spread love and show appreciation for the people you cherish.
Below, we listed 5 great last-minute gift ideas for all the special people in your life:
Edible Arrangements
You can order an edible arrangement or make your own fresh fruit basket. Slice all of your loved one’s favorite fruits such as strawberries, melons, pineapples, grapes, etc. and assemble them onto toothpicks or skewers. A pro tip is using mini cookie cutters in fun shapes for a gorgeous fruit bouquet. Also if you want to take it a step further, you can dip your fruits in yummy chocolate!
Flowers
Flowers are one of the most common Valentine’s Day gifts, and for good reason. A bouquet of fresh flowers is beautiful, smells great, and is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Red roses are traditionally the most popular choice for many, however there are a large number of other beautiful flower varieties such as tulips, peonies, lilies, dahlias, sunflowers, hydrangeas, and more!
Box of Sweets
Sweet treats are another Valentine’s Day classic. You’ll often be able to find heart-shaped boxes filled with delectable chocolates or candies in most retail stores. Or if you have the time, make your own treats! This can include homemade cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, rice crispy treats, and more. You can also add piped icing on top to include your own sweet personalized messages.
Cooking Class or Homemade Dinner
Instead of going to a fancy restaurant, treat your loved one to a delicious homemade meal or make it a fun experience and attend a cooking class together. From learning how to make pasta from scratch to learning how to make the perfect macarons, you’ll be able to find a variety of classes either in-person or online. This is a great way to learn new cooking skills while spending quality time together.
DIY IOU Coupons
An IOU (I owe you) coupon book is truly a great gift because it’s one that keeps on giving. So get crafty and make your own book filled with sweet redeemable one-time IOU’s such as: vowing to clean the home, giving a back or foot rub, cooking your loved one’s favorite meal, etc.
