She likes Unique Valentine Gift Ideas
I love the traditional box of chocolates and roses, but each Valentine’s Day I find myself searching for that unique gift for loved ones that is a little more hard to predict and give that “wow” reaction I love. There is also something special about giving gifts that offer an experience past February 14th.
Here is a list of my favorite, unique Valentine Day gift ideas that either him or her are sure to love.
Local Floral Subscription Boxes
Many local florists offer subscription services that allow you to enjoy fresh, hand made floral arrangements delivered right to you or your loved one’s doorstep. Customize the frequency of delivery from bi-weekly, monthly, or even just a few month period for the remainder of the winter months!
2. Customized Meat Boxes
TIk Tok and Instagram are home to more than just fashion & lifestyle influencers. Farmers and ranchers of all types can be found on social media to connect with and purchase products right from the farm. Next time you’re scrolling, search for farmers near you and put together a box of your loved one’s favorite meal must-have’s! From steaks for the grill master to bacon and breakfast sausage for the brunch lover, give the experience of food direct from farm that your loved one will enjoy for many meals to come!
3. Cheese & Wine Gift Box
This might be as fun for you to put together as it will be for your loved one to enjoy. Head to your local market and take a stroll through the cheese aisle, you can’t go wrong! Grab a variety of soft & hard cheeses, strong & mild, and one’s you can’t even pronounce! Stop in at a local winery and pick up a few bottles that are both your known favorites & new to you and your loved one.
Not only have you packaged up a unique gift that your partner will enjoy, but you’re gifting an experience. Spend February 14th at home tasting and pairing your favorites, or you have your next date night on stand by!
4. Custom Cafe Box
Another great way to support local businesses and gift a great experience is creating a “cafe themed” gift box for your loved one to enjoy. Whether your special person is a coffee addict or knows where in town to find the best sourdough loaf, some thoughtful items to include in a carefully packaged box are…
Local coffee grounds or tea
Locally produced honey
High quality coffee mug or travel Tumblr
Local cream-line milk for creamer
Ask a bakery to order pre-made croissants, frozen & sealed to bake at home
5. Charcuterie Gift Box
Another great gift option that doubles as a date night experience, build your own charcuterie board to enjoy.
Some staple items to include are….
Variety of cheeses
Cured meats
Olives & nuts
Fresh & dried fruits
Crackers & baguette bread
Jams & jelly
Grab a cutting board and a bottle of wine and have fun piecing together and enjoying your deliciously made masterpiece.
Although Valentine gift options seem to be at every turn of every store, it can be difficult to decide on that perfect gift when breaking away from traditional chocolates and roses. Giving the gift of an experience is the perfect choice when looking for a unique option that will have a lasting impression and display of your love!
