While valentine's day is approaching, this doesn’t need to be the only time in the next few months that you buy your other half a gift. Instead, why not think of a surprise that you can present them with any time of year? You want to show your partner how much you love and appreciate them and sometimes it is the spontaneous and thoughtful moments that mean the most. Here are some top gift ideas for a loved one…
1. A star map of a significant date
A star map of a significant date is a really personal gift that they are sure to treasure. There are a number of companies that offer these online and they look fantastic up in a frame on the wall. The date that you select could be anything from the first time that you met, to your first date or when you got engaged (if this has happened to you yet!) You can get it printed in a number of different colours, sizes and styles to suit the decor of your home too!
2. A gift voucher for a future experience
One of the greatest gifts you can give is memories and that is exactly what you will be doing with an experience for the future. There are a whole host of experiences out there that you can book, from a meal in a fancy restaurant to a thrill-seeking skydive. They will span a range of budgets and categories, so take a look and think of what you would both love to do together. This could be a good chance to tick off a bucket list item!
3. Some jewellery
Jewelry is always a great gift and one that they will cherish forever. No matter if you decide to get them something filled with diamonds, like a bracelet, earrings or necklace, or if you opt for more costume jewelry, there are so many choices out there. A chained pocket watch that you can personalize with a message also makes a great classical gift for dads or granddads. If you can, it is a good idea to go into an actual jewelry store or shop to take a look at the pieces in person. They can often look very different to the naked eye than on a website and you want to make sure that it is perfect.
4. A photo album
A photo album or a scrap book is an ideal gift as it can encapsulate all of the good times you have had together. It is a personal present that they can look back on if they are ever missing you or feeling down.
These are just a few ideas of presents that you can give to your other half. It is always lovely to receive a nice gift from the one you love and they are sure to appreciate any of these. Make sure you think carefully about what they like, your budget and how you will present it to them. Will it be a surprise? Or will you tell them you have something coming for them in the post? This can all add to the anticipation!
