Tips for choosing a gift idea
Before you start creating, you need to sit down and think about what exactly you can do with your own hands to present to your loved one. It is important that the craft is always in demand and not gathering dust on a shelf or in a desk drawer. Things to consider:
- Try to learn more about your partner’s hobbies and hobbies, because this will help not only choose a gift concept, but also get closer to your loved one. If your relationship began quite recently, then you can find out about the interests of the young man from mutual acquaintances and friends.
- Find out about his antipathy towards something. It is important to study not only the guy’s interests, but also what he has an aversion to. This way, you will minimize the risk that you will present him with something he hates. For example, it is not enough to know that a man loves sweets; you need to find out what he prefers more - candy or pastries (men have a sweet tooth at heart, but many carefully hide it). Remember: when choosing a gift, every detail is important.
- Choose iconic ideas. If you want your guy to really like his Valentine's Day gift, choose something very personal and intimate. The gift should remind him of you and the happy moments spent together. Here you should be guided solely by feelings, because no one knows more about your half than you.
- Consider your priorities. Character, type of temperament and life position play an important role when preparing a surprise for a man. If your companion is a pragmatic and rational person, then it is advisable to present him with something that will bring practical benefits. For example, a warm scarf, knitted with your own hands, will characterize you as a very caring girl and will warm your loved one in frosty weather. If your significant other is a gentle romantic, then you shouldn’t worry about the practicality of the gift presented. In this case, it is important to demonstrate to him how dear he is to you.
- An excellent solution would be a homemade cake, a homemade card or a hand-bound notebook with the inscription “To the best guy in the world.”
The cost of materials for crafts is not important. There is no need to save money for months on expensive things, because this will put him in an uncomfortable position. No man wants to seem like a gigolo in the eyes of his woman, so he may simply not accept an expensive gift. In addition, such gifts seem to hint that you expect similar surprises in return. Remember that for your companion it is not the price that is important, but the emotional component of the gift.
Romantic puzzle postcard for the wall
A romantic and original gift idea for your other half. In this case, the puzzle postcard can be a joint photo or collage, printed in large size and cut into several parts - puzzles. On the other side of the original puzzles, you can write the reasons or qualities of your loved one for which you appreciate him.
The essence of a romantic puzzle card is the presentation of a gift. You need to send parts of the valentine one by one by mail or courier (you can ask a friend or acquaintance). Your loved one should receive 1 valentine puzzle every 3-5 minutes, recreating a complete card.What not to give to your beloved guy on February 14th
