MEMORIES

Have you ever thought about taking your person on a trip and making memories? Memories are probably the best gift you can ever give someone because when they see something, smell something, or  anything involving the senses, it always will remind them of that person who introduced him to it. Take a little trip to a small town or somewhere not expected and just enjoy each others company.

A GOLD OR SILVER CHAIN

The prices for these things can vary. So, buy the gift based off what you can afford. You would be surprised how much some men take their jewelry game. Go ahead and customized or purchase a piece of jewelry that reminds him of you or vice versa.

TEAM JERSEY

You may not root for the same team as your boo thing but show them the rivalry is only when it comes to the game. No matter what sport it is, there is a place that has jerseys for their favorite sport and player.

CAR WASH

There is a handful of people who keep their cars neat, but for the rest of people, it looks like they live in their vehicles. Ask to borrow your significant others car and take their baby for a bath. Be sure to wash the windows, clean the interior, vacuum the floors and seats, and return the car with a full tank of gas. Like really, do you know how appreciative they’ll be for a full tank of gas.

 

SOMETHING TO DO WITH THEIR HOBBIES

There is something that your significant finds relaxes them or they just simply enjoy doing. I know a guy who loves collecting records, because he just likes that cracking sound it makes while playing a song and he also has an old soul. So the perfect gift for his significant other to get him, is a record he would like. I also am the person who likes to by gifts that has multiple reasons you can use them. Certain records can be sold for a lot of money depending on the artist.  Help you special person get that coin by buying things that can be collected. Or a gift that contributes to their hobbies.

Amazon The best website ever and if you have prime, its two-day shipping.

Video Game or a Video game console

I know a lot of girlfriends tend to stray away from anything involving video games because it means less attention for them, but come on, its Valentines Day. This gift is a given. Get your sweetheart a game console, a GameStop Gift Card, or a new game.

Personalized Playlist

This is the updated version of burning cds. Not playlist take a great amount of time to make.This will show them that you were paying attention to the small things about them. Any time they hear these songs, they will be reminded of you.

Candles and Body Wash 

Many guys don’t think candles are manly but truth be told, once you get them to use it, they won’t stop. Help them have their rooms smell like something other than pizza rolls and Lysol. There are websites that will literally allow you to create your own candle. Personalize it!!!

Personalization Mall

Home Decor

Let’s face it, most men are into doing the most to their homes. If you’re anything like me, you tend to go over the top and your pillow game is strong. So why not help your love? Buy little things to make his house a home. Get some plants, some string lights, and nice towels for his crib. Trust me, it will benefit the both of you!

WITH GIFTS JUST SHOW THE PERSON YOU LOVE, THE LITTLE THINGS THAT YOU PICK UP ON. STRAY AWAY FROM CLICHE THINGS. OR TRY TO GET THEM SOMETHING PRACTICAL. DON’T LET IT BE SOMETHING JUST FOR THIS HOLIDAY.

Don’t get me wrong, teddy bears and flowers are cute but try to stray from that unless that is something your person truly wants. Make your person a video montage or a photo book. You can even make the a bouquet of their favorite foods. Take them to get their nails done or homemade cards not specific to this holiday. The key is to know who you’re dating.

Date Ideas

NOSTALGIA NIGHT: You and your honey can buy a bunch of board games from Wal-Mart of Target. This can be games that you’ve never played or your favorites from the past. Then you can also by snacks from when you were children and make your favorite meals. For other entertainment, you should play your favorites childhood movies or shows. You can really learn something new about your partner everyday, and this is a great way to do just that.

HALLOWEEN THEME DATE: One of my favorite holidays is Halloween. So you can honestly pick any holiday and based your night off of that. For this date, you can buy a ton of candy. One of my favorite stores is Albanese.  There are different types of candy for you to try or some of your favorites.  While you eat your favorite treats, have a list of scary/ horror movies (Both old and new) lined up and spend your night spooking each other out.

HEALTHY DATE NIGHT: Let’s face it, some of us are dating health nuts (no offense because I am one of them). You can start this date off by making an entire workout routine and playlist just for the both of you. Something that matches both of your personalities. Then both of you can go to the gym and be each others motivation. Then go home and bond with your boo , by making a healthy meal together.

 

WALSER (he’s a painter) AND WINE NIGHT: For the artsy couples, go to Michael’s or Hobby Lobby and by somethings for crafts. Something for both of you to get your hands dirty. During the day, you two can go to the museum and walk around, you know something different. Then in the evening set up a romantic area in the house, and have different types of wine for you all to taste together. Also you should have cheese, wine, and crackers to enjoy while you both acknowledge your Picasso side. 

WINERY OR BREWERY TOUR: If your funds allow you, schedule a Winery or Brewery tour. You all can see how some of your favorite drinks are made. Find a wine or beer just for you two.

ITALIAN NIGHT: Italian food has to be my second favorite food ever. If you are a cook you can prepare a feast for your special person.  An Italian meal usually has multiple courses, so show off you chef side.  Or the both of you can make homemade pizza and pasta together. Cooking is the best way to bond with someone. Once the meal is prepared, you all can watch “The Godfather” in honor of the theme of your night. For dessert, enjoy some gelato. I’ll put you onto my favorite store brand.

“DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME” DATE

This will be a little Deja Vu. If you are a couple who has been together for a while. This date is the perfect idea for you. I’m giving you jewels guys. Show your significant other that you remember the first time you met. Recreate the first date or time you met. I’m talking, same movie. Same Food. Same selfie. You can even recreate the same outfit you two wore when you first met. This should be a fun experience and fellas, this can earn you some brownie points.

 

DOUBLE DATE BAKE OFF: For the couples who don’t want to be alone the whole night or who want to switch it up. Bring out your competitive sides. Rather its guys vs girls or couple vs couple. Have a cook and bake-off. Roll up those sleeves and game on. You can even have prizes for the winner. In the end, someone gets bragging rights.

EXPLORE NIGHT: This is a simple date, visit places in the city you live in, that the both of you have never been two. Let’s be honest, many people have lived somewhere for a long time, yet they stick to what they know. So why not try something new this Valentines Day?

Side-note: Please guys, enjoy your nights without your phones. PUT THEM AWAY. Enjoy each others presence. Don’t get me wrong get your “outfit of the night” and date pictures in the beginning, but after that, there is no reason you should be on your phones.

Enjoy your Valentine’s Day!!
