Valentine’s Day is the one day of the year where men everywhere feel the pressure of buying the woman or women in their lives something to show them how much they are loved. However, I feel like Valentine’s Day has become so commercialized and that the same, dumb gifts are being pushed onto people. I can tell you right now, that your loved one does not want a teddy bear, or chocolate in a heart shaped container, etc. All those things tell us women that you did not put any thought into getting something for us which in turn makes us feel unloved.
So I figured I can give some suggestions as to what we women would really like for Valentine’s Day. And please keep in mind, this all depends on your loved ones personality and their love language.
Dinner
Simply taking your loved one to dinner, maybe have a night cap afterwards shows that you are giving them your time which to some people is considered super valuable. This may seem so simply but some women really love and appreciate someone who give them their time and undivided attention.
A Weekend Getaway
What better way to tell your partner that you love them then taking them away for a whole weekend to spend some quality time, just you and them.
Clean the house and get all the chores done
This right here will likely cause your partner to feel an unexplained happiness and an over abundance of love towards you. Sometimes, all your partner wants and needs to feel loved is some help around the house.
An Actual gift
What I mean by actual gift is something that your partner has verbalized they want. Such as jewelry, a new bag, a new kitchen appliance that they’ve always wanted, if you are not sure what they want offer to treat them to a small shopping trip (and this also implied that you will be going with them)
Offer to Watch the Kids While Your Partner Goes Out With Their Friends
Having the night off to hang out with friends is another great idea if you want to gift your partner something but don’t have any money to spend on her. Don’t worry I promise they are not thinking “why didn’t he get me something” because a night off from the kids is better than a physical gift.
There are so many more things that you can do for your loved one for Valentine’s Day. These are just a couple of suggestions and honestly most of these I would personally love. If you are out of ideas it doesn’t hurt to ask their friends and family what they want because chances are your partner has told the people closest to them what they want.
