Tips on How to Pick the Right Valentine's Gift
-
Think About What They Like
Take a moment to try and remember what they have been talking about or admiring lately. Maybe they have been looking at pictures online or getting into a certain show lately. If they aren’t thinking or talking about Valentine’s Day then the element of surprise will be even easier to attain. Just a little bit of research could create a big difference in what you choose. -
Speak to friends and family
There is no better way to get inside information about your Valentine than to talk to your loved one’s closest confidants. When you tell them you are trying to plan the best Valentine’s Day gift ever, they will likely be very compliant to your goals. This way you can acquire completely new information and ideas that will be sure to absolutely shock your dear giftee. Make your Valentine ask, “How did you know!” -
Make it Personal
While a traditional Valentine’s Day gift is always powerful, it is essential to add an individualized touch. If you give a bouquet of roses, make sure that you add something distinctive into the package. Hide their favorite chocolate bar in the bouquet or at the bottom of a basket to add another layer of discovery that they will not be expecting. -
Be Creative
Bring a homemade and DIY(Do It Yourself) element to your Valentine’s Day surprise by thinking outside the box. If you open up your mind, this can actually be very fun. Draw your own picture inside of your card to charm him or her with extra cuteness or make a small origami swan or heart. Even if you consider yourself to be a poor drawer there is no excuse because that will make it even more adorable and authentic! The possibilities are endless. Think of this as your time to enjoy yourself and build something from your heart in an innocent and spontaneous way. -
Connect to your Heart
To truly create beauty, we must act from a heart centered space. The first step to connect with someone else’s heart is to establish ourselves within our own heart. Take this moment to pause and reflect on what makes your heart throb when you have loving, intimate and romantic moments. Feel this love and you will naturally come up with an incredible way to make this Valentine’s Day special and unforgettable. -
Presentation is Paramount
Even if you do all of the above, do not overlook the importance of a beautiful presentation. This is the icing on top of the Valentine’s cake that will tie all of these concepts together into the final masterpiece. Make a neat and tidy display of all that you have lovingly put together to create the ultimate Valentine’s moment to remember forever.
Give the Gift of Nature
One of the greatest gifts to give is one that shows your affection in a genuine way combined with the innate beauty of nature. Low maintenance, affordable and hypoallergenic, imitation plants fit this role better than any other. For the same price as a typical flower bouquet, a faux version will be guaranteed to arrive unwilted and always look freshly picked for years to come, unlike their delicate counterpart. Not to mention the sheer amount of energy that is required for cold storage and growing. Nearly Natural delivers the highest quality of imitation plants by expertly mimicking natural symmetry and texture to a degree that is often indistinguishable from real plants. Using a variety of natural materials ranging from silk to porcelain, we create lasting additions to your home and garden that can beautify any aspect of your living spaces.
