With Valentines Day a few days away, I thought I would write something about helping you find those last minute gifts out there. Of course, planning out your gift early is the best option. You get lots of time to think about the ideal gift, get the shopping out of the way and don’t have to think about it again until the day comes to give your gift.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case and many of us with busy lives get wrapped up in work and other life requirements. Don’t fret though, there are some last minute gifts and ideas that could save you from the doghouse this holiday.
A romantic dinner for two at an upscale restaurant is always a nice idea…but if you didn’t make reservations in advance, it is highly unlikely you will get any this close to the big day. Another idea? Cook a nice meal at home, get some candles, your valentine’s favorite bottle of wine and cook up a nice meal you both can share in the privacy of your own home.
A great idea to go along with the home cooked romance is a CD of romantic music to listen to during the dinner. Your song choices should reflect your feelings toward the other person, or be a play list of their favorite songs. You can also pick up a romantic movie to pop in the dvd player to pop in after your dinner and relax.
Still feel like you need a gift to present to your loved one? Here are some options which can always be picked up quite easily at the last minute.
Flowers
Perfume
Jewelry
Gift Certificates
You can sit down with your loved one and book a nice romantic get-a-way for two. Use the excuse that you wanted to make sure they have dates available and you wanted to plan it together, so they will understand why they don’t have a gift now.
If all else fails, after your dinner or movie, give your valentine a long massage. These are appreciated and shows that you care!
