All you need is love (and gift ideas): Valentines day essentials

Valentine’s day: the most loved and hated holiday of the year. Box candy and flowers from the grocery store are not going to cut it this year. Instead of resorting to the cringe, baseline ideas, check out some of these gift schemes, straight from the heart.

 

100 dates scratch-off poster

Struggling to find ideas for date night? This scratch-off poster is the perfect, fun activity for bringing new ideas to an adventurous or relaxing night in, or even out! The selection of categories is a need when it comes the the usual “There’s nothing to do”.

 

Build-A-Bear

Looking for something to do on valentines day? Go to Build-A-Bear with your significant other and make each other bears. A creative idea to put your personality into a cute, cuddly stuffed animal, and also makes it a gift for both partners if you’re out of ideas.

 

Scrapbook materials 

A scrapbook, fun markers, printed pictures and colorful tape is all you really need for this one. A perfect activity for date night, and something you can add to whenever your heart desires. You can customize it and make it your own, and of course, everything means more when it’s handmade.

 

Spotify plaque

The Spotify plaque is yet another customizable gift! Choose any song and a favorite photo of you and your partner, and trust me, it makes the cutest piece of wall décor. Can’t choose just one song? Just buy another one! They’re inexpensive and pair perfectly next to each other. It’s never a bad thing to have multiple of these.

Disposable film camera

Do you love taking pictures and capturing fun memories with your significant other? A film camera is the perfect way to get the unique look of a dated photo. Though you don’t get the photos back right away like you would on your phone, it is always fun playing the waiting game of getting them back and reminiscing on good times with one another!

 

Whether you use these ideas for your significant other or a friend, they can be altered to fit any person and occasion. These gifts are sure to put love in the air. Happy shopping!
