Like millions other men living and breathing on our planet, you are probably wondering what to get my girlfriend for Valentine’s Day. Because February 14 is such a big day for women, it has also become one of the most important days of the year from a marketing point of view.
As of late, more and more men are turning to creative gift ideas, ignoring the standard flowers, chocolate combinations, teddy bears, fluffy toys, and the list goes on.
You can actually buy a beautiful and unique gift without breaking the bank, a gift that your girlfriend can use for years to come. All it takes to surprise her is some creativity and a few great choices.
Why Valentine’s Day?
The whole secret behind Valentine’s Day is that romance and strong relationships need to be glorified and cherished. Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love, not just romantic love, but sacrificial love, comfortable love and unconditional love.
Valentine’s Day has slowly become a day of celebration, a day in which lovers can prove their love for each other by buying beautiful gifts. Of course, just like Black Friday and Christmas, marketers from all around the world have capitalized on this concept and have used it to their advantage.
This does not mean that Valentine’s Day is all about presents. This is a great occasion for you to spend some quality time with your precious partner. Nevertheless, to spice things up, it is wise to invest in a non-expensive, unique gift that can surprise your girlfriend or wife.
Planning for your Valentine’s Gift
February 14 is just around the corner, so now it’s the perfect time to start planning for the big day. While a dozen roses or a big box of chocolate may be appreciated for a while, you need to come up with something really unique if you want your precious one to thank you forever.
Before investing in a unique gift this Valentine’s, you need to think of these three aspects:
- Cost: you should assess your finances and decide how much money you are willing to invest in the gift.
- Design: you should buy something that you know for sure it is going to be appreciated by the receiver.
- Size: if you do not have enough room in your house, do not buy a large appliance or something that will make you and your wife fight regularly. The same applies for your girlfriend if you live separately.
Buying the Best Valentine’s Day Gift
Here are some of the most creative and inexpensive gifts you can surprise your girlfriend with this Valentine’s:
- Music CD: if your lady loves music and one of her favorite artists has just released a new album, you can never go wrong with a music CD. That’s just $10. You can also add to it a personalized t-shirt with her favorite band printed on the back.
- A Good Book: if your girlfriend loves to read books instead of reading on her kindle, you should buy her a great book. Some of the best books for women ever released include famous series like The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Twilight, City of Bones, Vampire Academy, Don’t Judge a Girl by Her Cover and The 5th Wave Trilogy. You should also go for the “Girl’s Guide to Dating a Geek” if you are truly a computer geek and you want your girl to better understand you.
- USB Powered Foot Warmer: if your girl loves gaming or she simply spends too much time on Facebook, a USB-powered foot warmer should do the trick.
- i-Wallet Photo Viewer: this high-tech wallet comes equipped with a 2-inch digital display that shows your favorite pictures together. It also includes a great narration function to narrate the slideshow.
- The Ex-Boyfriend Knife Holder: this is a great gift, especially if you want to help your girlfriend in a practical manner to forgive and forget. This human-shaped knife holder can help her forgive her ex every time she pushes in the knife through her ex’s head.
- Fitness Tracker: even though you might need to spend more than $70 for this gadget, this is an amazing gift for girls and women who are serious about losing weight but are afraid to ask for help.
With these in mind, you now have an idea about what to buy your girl this Valentine’s.
