Valentine’s Day has come a long way in recent years as a celebration of love with romantic Valentines Day gifts for wives with cards. The days of sending a handmade card to a woman in your life to convey your anonymous admiration are long gone.
February 14th is the feast of St. Valentine (a Christian martyr). In England (according to Chaucer), the day on which birds choose their mates.
It now means sweetheart or lover. This feast represents an opportunity to say how much you adore her with a small token. But how to make it unforgettable? How do you provide unique Valentines Day gifts for wife without buying a generic gift? Or as if you are going through a routine with no real thought?
What Gift To Give Your Wife On Valentine’s Day?
Put the sparkle back in her eyes, surprising her with the perfect gift. Here are twenty-eight romantic Valentine gifts for wives to get your brain working on finding something to express your feelings.
1: An Everlasting Rose
Hang on a minute-how trite is that? As a result of the increased demand for red roses on the 14th, supermarket prices rise. Instead of a real bouquet, seek a perpetually blooming plant for inside or outside. You can pay a lot (over £100) for a gorgeous Swarovski quartz rosebud. Or a more modest amount (around £15) for a handcrafted wrought iron flower.
Whether in metal, crystal, or ceramic, blossoms are consistently depicted as a token of affection. Source a perpetual bloom and delight your partner.
2: A Living Flower
You can pick a rose bush for the flowerbed or a miniature inside the home if you plan. Many have names; match the name to your better half for a personalised gift.
Go a step further with “name your own“. It is more challenging to grow it from seed, although you can register it through the Amore Rose Registry. Pay well under £20 for this delight. It may be a typical romantic gift for women, but you can still twist it to make it different.
3: Premium Chocolates
Chocolates are a cliché but enhance your mood, and the snack of choice by most ladies, with few exceptions. Confectionary is universally popular; consider artisan infused sweets to raise your game. Consider award-winning Pink Champagne Truffles or delicacies from T&M Artisan Choc-o-late.
4: Silky Smooth Soap
Hand made soap or infused bath bombs is a big and little business. Choose from a soap maker on Etsy or indulge in a spa chain’s range for a relaxing weekend. When it comes to finding a deluxe bath bomb or cleansers, consider the following:
- Ingredients: Rosewood oil is suitable for sensitive and older skin; other elements have valuable properties.
- Fragrant Scents: an enormous part of the enjoyment; most women have a favourite brand.
- Shapes: you can get handmade flowers and hearts, which fit this theme beautifully.
You may get more use out of your handmade items if you use a soap dish that lets it dry in between washes. A wood rack or a ceramic plate with holes (for drainage) and feet works perfectly after a soak in the bathtub.
5: Sexy Candle Magic
Dining by candlelight on your next date night is more intimate. You have a broad scope of decorative or scented candles. Tealight holders or scented wax melts fit the day’s sentiment. Consider battery-operated lights to avoid naked flames. They offer atmosphere and a glow without the burning flame and need for a fire extinguisher. Concentrate on the candle holder’s beauty. Turkish glass sets are exotically coloured, fitting almost every décor.
6: Carved Welsh Love Spoons
An old tradition, nothing says it more than a Welsh love spoon unless choosing to hire a plane to write it in the sky. Everything from a standard design to personalised with significant symbols to your relationship.
7: Wooden Hearts
A wood heart is another lover’s classic. By choosing meaningful woods, you can create an affectionate token for a pocket or on a chain. Birth woods are one choice, or consider the language of plants below:
- Rosewood-associated with compassion and love. Hazel, Walnut, or any other nut tree if you are still “nuts” about them.
- Olive-peace, fertility, wisdom, luck, and friendship.
- Fruit woods for abundance and happiness.
8: Shaped Locket
The beauty of a pendant is they carry a reminder of those close and dear. Simple pendants hold a couple of images or fold them out to reveal an entire family of treasures. A nice personalised touch is to cut a piece out of an old map showing a specific location. The place you proposed as a filler?
9: A Pen and Journal
Despite the rise of tech electronics, handwriting is still the best way to capture thoughts. A beautiful handwriting pen or pencil enhances the feeling of keeping a notebook. It can be a daily diary to list or record travels. If you have an unforgettable holiday planned, notes help in planning for caring or nostalgic ones.
10: Picnic Basket
Because of the additional effort involved, you pay quite a bit more for a stylish picnic basket. A deluxe picnic basket encourages a couple to pack a mini feast. Enjoy each other’s company on a date in some beautiful picnic spots, either near or far from home. Your picnic basket could start a new tradition.
Source a picnic basket without the hefty price tag of a fancy basket. Amazing couple’s picnic baskets are easy to find for less than £30. That leaves enough in the wallet for an excellent wine to toast the sunset. Don’t forget a blanket.
11: Tea for Two
China sets are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. If your partner enjoys a decent brew, a sharing set is a charming notion. High tea, which includes a variety of bite-sized snacks, is another option. Perhaps over high tea at the city’s finest hotel?
12: Heart-Shaped Spoons
Many manufacturers offer a spectrum of spoons for teas, coffee, or desserts. When you have spent years buying for your friend, it helps to think about everyday items with a twist. You can acquire teaspoons, measuring spoons (pour some love into every dish), and pot spoons. If you prefer vintage or antiques, begin searching earlier. If you add a heartfelt spoon-you have plenty of choices.
13: Music Box
“If music be the food of love, play on”–obtain a music box or make your own. Your spouse gets to hear a particular tune forever. Presenting a customised musical movement, song, or film is now possible thanks to advances in technology. Recording your voice singing a song to make her smile, laugh, or cry is easy in this digital age.
14: Personalised Jigsaw
Do you have a special photograph or location? Custom print your own jigsaw puzzle on timber or card, making it one-of-a-kind. Turn the completed jigsaw into a table mat or picture, depending on preference. Glue the completed jigsaw onto a magnetic board for a personalised noticeboard.
15: Commission a Portrait
Every guy with a phone is a photographer. That is one of those major changes that tech electronics brought to our world. Despite the abundance of images, there is still a place for that great snapshot or painting. Nothing says “I love you” quite as much as a desire to immortalise their image forever.
16: Lingerie
Luxurious underwear is always welcome if you have the sizes right. Do your detective work and double-check labels on clothes, bras, and panties for the correct size. It is setting yourself up for tears on date night if too large or small. Alternatively, opt for funny, cheeky pants with a sense of humour. Whether purchasing jokes or silk, the correct fit is essential.
17: Theme Jumper
Now everyone is into a smart Christmas jumper; you can find lots of jumper designs. Funny, rude, or sweetly passionate, Amazon.com, and Etsy have themed sweaters. Want broad appeal? Shop for a chunky design featuring a heart pattern.
18: Fizzing with Joy
Something pinkish and bubbly is another common item. It has the advantages of being both delicious and welcome. Elegant flutes are charming, but most people prefer alcoholic sparkle. Although it is a tradition and expected, cold fizz is always welcome.
19: Innovative Lunch Box
You can purchase absolutely anything in any style if you look hard enough. A popular bento-style box on Amazon.com is affordable and cute. Reminding her every time she eats on a snack break or while travelling.
20: Aromatherapy Necklaces
Nothing beats a personal fragrance without the harsh undertones of chemical air sprays. An aromatherapy pendant necklace uses pure aromatherapy oils, tailoring a smell to match their mood.
21: Cute Hot Water Bottle
February is a cold month, prone to frosts, and icy rain. This classic hot water bottle is ideal, providing a little extra warmth when needed. Alternatively, look for hand warmers to warm hands when out.
22: Digital Photo Frame
A digital media display lets you see memorable photos. An updated method of displaying family pictures or your latest snaps. Most digital photo frames have other functions, like playing music or an alarm clock. Their primary purpose is a space to share memories, even if only the two of you.
23: Garden Loveseat
An outdoor seat allows couples to savour a peaceful hour outside with their favourite drink. A seat promises a while to spend together in relaxed surroundings. It is ideal if she enjoys spending an afternoon peacefully outside.
24: Chocolate Fondue Treat
Putting together a chocolate fountain set is the perfect way to indulge their fondness. Look for heart marshmallows for a sweet treat if you want to keep them in the theme.
25: Magazine Subscription
There are hundreds of magazines catering to specialist interests that she’ll never see on the high street. From astrophysics to cake baking, every subject has an online or paper magazine. Subscribing to a magazine will bring a whole year’s enjoyment.
26: Musical Leanings
Perhaps your other half has always wanted to learn a musical instrument? Most folks have a secret longing to play a musical instrument of some kind. Some aspire to a pennywhistle, while others dream of a grand piano-like Mozart. So you have to know what musical instrument she wants to study. Music lessons are fantastic to build or reawaken an interest.
27: Piece Of Gold Jewellery
Gifts of jewellery are often given to women to mark important events or feelings. You could always have jewellery on hand, but it would be hard to store it all.
A beaded bracelet falls into three categories, fun but transitory, valuable or permanent. Offer a charming bracelet wearable as a lasting token of your affection.
Choose a gift set, gold earrings, necklaces, brooches, bracelets, anklets, piercings, and rings. Get a heart-shaped jewellery piece or a classical antique from Etsy. When possible, offer a sentimental keepsake with deeper significance tagged to a unique memory.
28: Experience Days
The ultimate Valentine’s gift ideas are those she’ll cherish in her heart. Visiting somewhere on a mini-break sets the stage for an encounter. Or opt for an event like handling hawks or drift racing. As more people reach peak stuff in their lives, they go for a thoughtful gift for lasting recollections.
Three Terrible Valentine Gifts for Her
If they have explicitly asked for one of the following, then it can be the best option; otherwise, avoid:
1. Enrolling in a Weight Loss Program: Your girlfriend may be more of an armful than when you first met. This is not the occasion to suggest that she needs to shape her body. If she wants to lose a few lbs, she will sign up for her own program. If she is currently slimming, support her goals by not picking alcohol or candy treats.
2. Random Perfume: It doesn’t matter how expensive it is; she will hate it if it is not her preferred choice. Perfumes change on a lady’s skin, and the smell is uniquely personal. Floral scent is lovely, but forget surprising her with French aromas you don’t know for a fact is her favourite.
If she doesn’t have (as far as you know, a preference), take her to the shops for that expensive aroma. Then, she’ll get the pleasure of shopping and trying on a variety of brands. Plus, she will wear the eau de toilette she likes rather than have it expensively evaporate on a shelf. Instead of an expensive surprise that flops, take a while together for a great gift idea for her that delights.
3. Practical House Gifts: This is when she expects affection like all other partners. It is time to wine, dine, and spoil her with impractical but meaningful Valentine’s gifts. A new iron, toaster, or vacuum cleaner will hardly win a husband of the year award. Things for the home are only acceptable if they add enjoyment to her being.
What Story Is More Satisfying Than Yours?
A Valentines present for a wife should not be the most expensive because it is a placeholder for your thoughts. Even on a little budget, when giving with your heart, you can still have a memorable moment for loved ones. Breakfast in bed or a walk on the beach are delightful.
The best Valentine’s Day gift for your wife to make her feel special is the thought, care, and attention you put into it to show affection. Relax and let your imagination run wild.
"I like to make things. I'm not a super handyman or anything, but I've always been interested in woodworking and other DIY projects. I find that if I have something in my hands, I can solve difficult problems better than if I am staring at a computer screen or reading about them on the internet." There is only so much furniture and art you can fit in a house, and giving to family and friends only lasts so long, so here we are with a crafts shop.
I enjoy writing about my projects and other topics related to crafting, like making something with your hands.
