As Valentine’s Day is approaching, many couples are gearing up for their special Valentine’s dates. But sometimes, with all of the anxiety of a date, a gift could be forgotten. Don’t worry, you’re saved! Here are some last-minute gift ideas for your special someone.
Flowers and chocolates
Of course, a general trip to the store is always a quick solution. Buying a box of chocolates or a small bouquet is always a nice gift, especially for a first date. You can always buy a few roses, carnations, or a mix of different flowers. If you don’t feel like buying flowers and have some extra time, you can buy a cute heart-shaped plant in a hand-painted pot from Smith and Front, pictured in this article.
Chocolate-dipped strawberries
If you have a couple of hours to spare, chocolate-dipped strawberries are a unique gift item, as well as a nice treat on your date. Dip some ripe strawberries into melted chocolate, then lay them on a baking sheet to store in the refrigerator. They should be ready to eat by the time of your date.
Gift cards
Gift cards are a simple but different gift for your date. Giving your date a gift card for a place they enjoy is also a great way to show your appreciation. You can always get gift cards for Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, or a bookstore. Local businesses should also have gift cards as well.
Bakery items from local businesses
Bakery items are a unique Valentine’s gift, and also offer a nice place for a date. Suggested local bakery businesses include Bee’s Knees and Cake Shop by Tati. The Bee’s Knees is also a coffee shop that sells canned coffee for on-the-go. The Coffee Shop by Tati is a permanent shop in Pleasant Gap that sells a variety of goods from huge croissants to macarons. They also have their own gift cards.
Craft ideas
Another popular idea is craft ideas. Origami or roses or origami hearts are challenging but unique ideas that your date may love. Here’s a tutorial for a simple origami heart. You can also make your own Valentine’s Day card.
