Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we know you might be trying to get your lover the best and most memorable gift that will stand the test of time. We know it’s not a competition to see who out-gifts the other person but stick with us as we suggest gifts that we believe will teary-eyed your lover.

What is Valentine’s Day

Most people celebrate Valentine’s Day without knowing what it stands for and how it came to be. 

Valentine’s Day is generally known as a holiday on February 14, when lovers express their love for each other through different acts of affirmation. The holiday’s most common origin is said to have come from the Roman festival Lupercalia.

The festival was held in mid-February and often celebrated the coming of Spring and the matchmaking of men and women through a lottery. 

However, by the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I forbade the celebration of Lupercalia and replaced it with Valentine’s Day. Some Christian martyrs were named ‘Valentine’, like the priest martyred around 270 CE by Claudius II Gothicus.

Now that you know the history of Valentine’s Day, let’s find the unique gifts for your lover.

Unique Valentine’s Day for Her

Everyone wants a listening partner who will get them gifts tailored to their wants and needs rather than genetic Valentine’s Day gifts.

Here are some recommended items to gift your girlfriend or wife.

1. Perfumes

Every woman wants to smell good, and every man loves a woman who smells good. You can visit a perfume store and look for the best perfumes for your woman. Bonus points if you get them a perfume from their favourite brands or celebrities.

2. Dresses

Do you plan on taking your lover out on a date? Getting her a lovely dress might be the right way to start. You can shop for beautiful and unique dresses for her. Not only will this bring a smile to her face, but it is a romantic gesture.

3. Spa day treatment

Almost every woman dreams of being taken care of; a day at the spa is the right way to start. Book your girlfriend or wife an appointment at the spa and let her enjoy the perks of being a woman.

4. Jewellery

Have you ever heard the phrase “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”? Well, they might be right. However, diamonds might be a bit out of budget, so you can get your lover fancy jewellery—a necklace, earring or ring to complement them.

5. Shoes

A woman can never have enough shoes, and you might be the one who spoils her by getting her fancy shoes, which she may have mentioned before Valentine’s Day.

Unique Gifts to Get Your Man this Valentine’s Day

Men have often complained that they are tired of receiving generic gifts like boxers and singlets, and you do not want to give that to your lover this year.

Here are some creative and unique gifts to give your boyfriend or husband this Valentine’s Day.

1. Gadgets

Men have always had an innate desire for gadgets, so get your man a gadget he would like, such as a game set or an accessory like an Apple Watch.

2. Perfumes and scented candles

Every man loves to smell good and loves places that smell good. When you get your lover perfumes and scented candles, you will make them happy. When they enter their room, and the scent hits them, they will be reminded of your romantic gesture.

3. Drinks

If your man likes to sip alcohol leisurely, wrap them in a gift bag with their favourite drinks and some bottled snacks to accompany the bag. This is a thoughtful gift to give your man.

4. Sports jersey

Most men are into sports; if they are, they likely have a favourite team or club. Get your boyfriend or husband a T-shirt from their favourite club and watch the light in their eyes come up.

5. Engraved jewellery

Nothing says “I love you”, like getting your man engraved jewellery, such as a necklace or bracelet.
