Undecided about what creative gift you can give to your beloved this Valentine’s? That’s alright. Every ‘creative’ thing is practically on Pinterest and every other art and crafts blogging site anyway– and everybody’s trying it. Besides, remember that the day of love is all about showing love– not about giving something they haven’t exactly seen before. Granted that’s not a bad idea, but wouldn’t it be better if you gave a Valentine’s day gift that would complement her Kikay lifestyle?
Now we’re not suggesting you bust your wallet over some pretty-looking brush you’ve just seen in a cosmetics shop; nor are we recommending a fancy surprise. It just takes a little thoughtfulness and practicality to produce the perfect V-day gift idea!
Thoughtful Valentine’s Gifts for your Girls!
1. Socks. It’s believed that as we grow older, we appreciate adorable socks. From ankle socks to thigh-high ones, if it’s got the drawing of their favorite animal, they’re most likely to wear it all the time. Now it must be noted that these socks shouldn’t be just socks. The design should be related to something that matters a lot to them.
This idea is a very simple but thoughtful Valentine’s gift– it shows that you are attentive and you know very well the little things they love and value. Plus, it’s super cheap nowadays!
2. Photo Album. This idea might fit well for couples who have been together for quite a while now. This Valentine’s gift may be empty, or it may be full of photographs. It’s up to you. What matters is that the idea is delivered– that the photo album symbolizes experiences you went through together, and that it suggests more days of loving ahead.
Again, it’s so minimalistic– no big surprises, no glittery jewelry. Just a straightforward promise of faithfulness and sincerity.
3. Comfy Slippers. You know those fluffy pink slippers that look soft as little cotton balls? It may look a little childish and unnecessary, but it’s a classic way of showing that you want to ‘pamper’ your girl in every single way. It’s the perfect idea for keeping her feet comfy and warm after a long, awful day of wearing heels and changing the world.
If you think that there are other ways of showing your way of pampering her, go ahead. But this is a simple, Disney-ish, almost comical way of showing her that you want her to have all the girly things in the world– even the cheesy ones.
4. The Classics. The world knows very well what the classics are: Chocolates, Flowers and Cake. True enough these are typical and a little oversaturated– but there’s a magic to it. After seeing this romantic trick hundreds of times on TV, on film, books, etc., it has made an impact on every female.
Bottom line in girls’ eyes: If they receive these gifts for Valentine’s, it makes them feel like they’re the protagonist in a Rom-Com flick. It makes them feel special despite its conventionality. And don’t forget the bonus of chocolate’s happy-boosting effects.
5. Face Masks. Face Masks are actually a hit these days. You get a pack of them for a great bargain! But if you want to ace the presentation, it wouldn’t hurt if you buy a cute little basket and some red ribbons. This is an awesome Valentine’s gift for your beloved kikay because it shows that you pay attention to things that matter to her– skin care and a little indulgence in looking good.
6. Things in Jars. Yes, you can stuff an awful lot of things inside these jars– thanks to Pinterest. This isn’t such a bad idea either– you just have to be creative in doing it. Small jar, big jar, circular, polygon-shaped, go crazy! You can put long letters, a few funny jokes, excerpts from memories, poems, anything. You can even put a few chocolates, home-made lip scrubs, bath milk, money? Why not! So long as it’s arranged, it looks cute, and it means something to you, you’ve got this.
Happy shopping, lovers! Don’t forget to put a little thought into things you’re buying– don’t be impulsive or ingenuine. It’s not the number of zeroes, it’s the thought that counts after all. Wishing y’all a sweet Valentine’s day!
