11 Romantic Valentine’s Day Gifts for Lovers
- Dance lessons. Give a gift certificate for swing, salsa, ballroom, or Latin dance lessons. To make it an even more romantic Valentine’s Day gift, get yourself excited about taking dance lessons with your partner. If you feel awkward or embarrassed, do it for love - and get a little help from Cupid by remembering why you're doing this!
- Adventurous classes. If you’re sure your valentine won’t be offended, buy her pole dancing or teasersize lessons at the local gym or community center. Go more conservative with belly dancing or hip hop lessons. Give something both adventurous and romantic for Valentine’s Day – something that will bring you both out of your comfort zone.
- Seasonal tickets. Buy a long-term pass for something they love: the opera, ballet, symphony, ballgames or community theatre. Promise to go to each event, or promise to let them go with their friends – whichever makes them happiest!
- Romantic getaways. Splurge on a trip to Mexico, Hawaii, or even Belize or Tanzania. You don’t have to go this minute; simply create a nice certificate or love letter on your computer. Buy a travel guide about your destination, sunscreen, or a silk beach wrap to get your valentine excited about the holiday. This romantic Valentine’s Day gift can extend to March or April, when you actually go on the trip.
- Weekend retreats. Your romantic getaway or “exotic trip” can take place in your own city or region. A romantic Valentine’s Day gift can be a weekend retreat at a nearby bed and breakfast or country inn. If there’s a nice downtown core or river valley in your city, book a room there for a couple of nights. Spend the days being a tourist in your own city.
- Romantic dinners. A dinner theatre, dinner cruise or fancy, candle-lit evening at a French restaurant is a great way to say “I love you.” Pick a restaurant with cloth napkins, dim lighting, and a gorgeous view of the city. This romantic Valentine’s Day gift will unite the minds and bodies of most lovers.
- Vintage jewelry. Vintage sapphires, rubies, diamonds or emeralds in their original, polished-up settings are gorgeous and romantic Valentine’s Day gifts. Instead of going to the secondhand or vintage stores in your area, call ahead to determine what they have in stock.
- Recycled jewelry. Buy a chic recycled ring, bracelet or necklace made from bottle caps or recycled metal parts. They may not sound like romantic Valentine’s Day gifts but when you see them in person, you’ll see the love.
- Creative accessories. Unique, eco-friendly purses made from candy wrappers or recycled plastic bags are funky, romantic Valentine’s Day gifts.
- Photo puzzles, calendars, mugs or mouspads. Photos make romantic Valentine’s Day gifts, especially if they’re practical. Photos can be placed on many household objects; your valentine will think of you every time they use their Valentine’s Day gift.
- Get personal. What does your valentine love? Hints are dropped all the time, accidentally or on purpose. “I love that perfume bottle, but it’s too expensive,” or “I’ve always wanted to eat there,” are romantic Valentine’s Day gifts when you follow up on them. Listen to your valentine and write down ideas as they pop out – or you’ll forget them and will forever struggle with finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
