“What to buy?” This question we often ask ourselves at Christenings, birthdays, weddings and of course on Valentine’s Day.

If you have run out of gifting ideas for that special someone, here are 5 thoughtful ideas to make the day of love more memorable:

Keepsake

Customised jewellery is a popular keepsake. Add a personalised touch to it by engraving each other’s initials in either a ring, necklace or bracelet.

Gift hamper

You can never go wrong with food. Besides, many say the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach. Create a gift hamper with your loved one’s favourite snacks, drinks and hobby-related items. Remember a card, so they know who it’s from.

Quality time

Spending quality time with your partner is just as special as spending thousands of rand on gifts. Plan a special dinner, a relaxing spa treatment, or a couple’s activity both of you would want to do.

Something romantic

Fairy lights, a blanket and scented candles are perfect decorations for creating a romantic ambiance. Throw in a customised photo display of your journey through love, and remember the snacks!

Sentimental notes

For a modern approach, plan a treasure hunt with notes and clues throughout the day, leading up to a grand gesture in the evening. Compile a scrapbook of your love-journey together, updating it every year as your love grows.
