Easy Loving Gift Ideas for Valentine’s One or Two Days Ahead
- Order an engraved bracelet, watch, jewelry box, or other meaningful item.
- Make a treasure hunt for someone you love. Use riddles or clues to lead them to a treat at the end of the trail.
- Design a special night at home by planning a nice menu serbved on a candlelit table
- Plan a special night out by making reservations at a favorite restaurant with soft music.
Small Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gifts for Sweethearts
- As a little, corny gift, buy a giant sucker and make a card that says “I’m a sucker for you, Valentine.”
- For a gardening fan, buy a small flowerpot, fill with red, white or pink gift bag shred or tissue, and add packs of seeds. Put a heart sticker on the pot, if desired.
- Make coupons for things the gift recipient will enjoy (such as a kiss, a massage, a hot fudge sundae, a car wash, or a special night out). Put them into a pretty envelope with a homemade or purchased card.
- A romance novel, blank journal, or a book of love quotes are all sweet gift ideas.
- Homemade cookies are always welcome and are rare these days.
- Burn a CD of songs you know your Valentine will enjoy.
- Buy a bag of chocolate Kisses and hide them all over the house, car, in pockets, and anywhere else they won’t melt.
Sweet Valentine Presents for the Very, Very Last Minute
- Buy seven helium balloons in pink, red, and white. Tie them into one big bouquet and attach the bundle to a heart-shaped candy box. Some dollar stores carry both.
- For a guy (depending on age), grab a quick six-pack of a gourmet or imported beer or soda. Tie a little teddy bear to the top.
- If the only store open is a grocery, liquor or drug store, run in and grab flowers, a box of candy or another Valentine leftover (but only if they are still nice). If all the Valentine goodies are picked over, get a gift bag and stuff it full of your Valentine’s favorite candies out of the candy bag aisle.
