Welcome to the Gift Ideas Central
Valentine's is just around the corner and although it should be one of the most romantic times for a couple, it's usually a stressful time. What do I get my loved one this year? Hence the reason for this web page. I do the research for you.
With Valentine's day just around the corner, you need to move fast! My advice, plan as soon as possible, execute your plan weeks before, and enjoy the day stress free.
I've been married for over 16 years now, and every year I stress out over what to get my spouse. This year was different, I planned in advanced and dedicated some time to think about my better half. This is what they really want at the end... to be thought of. A gift certificate doesn't do this justice. You have to actually think about what they would love.
Below are some valentine gift ideas for women and men. It is always a good idea to keep the tradition to get some flowers for the lady(ies) in your life. I mean you don't want to leave out your daughters. This is also followed by a well thoughtout card that expresses how you feel about him/her. It may be corny, but is once a year too much to tell them how you feel. Believe me, it's all worthwhile at the end. It shows you took the time and made the effort to think about them. If you need ideas on what you can write in the card, click here.
Here are some ideas
For Her:
- Hand bags e.g. mary frances handbags (for the very vibrant and colorful person), marc jacobs handbags and gift ideas (popular, fine quality), leather backpack handbags (very practical for the fast paced women).
- Jewellery, golden pendant with a picture of both of you engraved on it. (very original and will last forever) - from Golden Reflexions. You can order this in the Montreal area at Alpas Jewellers.
- Lingerie is always a romantic and sensual idea. It shows her or him that you still find they are sexy.
For Him
Popular gifts for him range from wrist watches, gold or silver cufflinks, tie, cologne, money clip with usb memory, mont blanc meisterstuck fountain pen, or a digital picture frame for the office that comes in 7,8,9, and 10 inch dimensions and can hold hundreds of photos that change automatically.  - The most thoughtful gifts are those that define who he really is. It may take time to realize what this is, but all worth it when you see his reaction.
For both of you
- Weekend Spa getaway. A nice romantic spa getaway for the couple in love. A great way to de-stress and keep that flame alive. There is nothing wrong with planning this romantic weekend together.
 Consider booking a message for both of you together. What a wonderful way to spend an hour with your spouse... in complete comfort. The average price is $90 each for an hour.
My wife and I thought of getting a hottub for quite some time now. We've spoken to a few couples that own one and they absolutely love it. One of our concerns is that we live in a cold climate in the winter time and we were afraid that it would be used. In fact, today's hot tubs / spas, are constructed for the harsh winter weather. They are very well insolated and specific features allow the water to remain heated without consuming too much energy. They tell us how wonderful it is to still in the middle of all that snow, while it is dark and look up at the stars. An invigorating feeling. Prices range from $3,000 CAD to over $12,000 CAD, depending on what you are looking for. The most important feature is that you sit in it very comfortably. Visit my spa review page here.
On the righthand side of this page, you will find some links that will direct you to what you are looking for. I encourage you to visit their website to get more ideas.
Research is not only at the workplace, but should be in our own relationships. Take the time to search in your mind and in your heart to see what would make your loved one happy on this very special day. Happy Valentine's Day.
To help you even more, this site will offer card writing ideas. I've been there... I want to write something special from the heart, but I just have a blank... if you are one of these people, you'll love this new feature on this site. So stay tuned and visit again. |
