9 Awesome Valentines Day Gift Ideas

DURAND, Mich., –– It's almost Valentines Day! Have you started thinking about what you're going to give that special someone in your life? There are some obvious choices that you probably have gotten them in years past like jewelry, perfume, cologne, or a nice watch. But this year, you want to do something special and creative! Read our list of nine awesome Valentines Day gift ideas that will surely express to your valentine how much they mean to you!

Flowers & Chocolate

You may think this is too obvious of a choice to include but you'd be wrong. Guys, if you’re reading this, when she says “Let’s not do anything big for valentines day this year”, this does not mean you don't still have to get her flowers and chocolate. Flowers and chocolate are the minimum.

Make Dinner

Making dinner is always a great way to show someone you care about them. Try this dinner and dessert combo of chicken parm and chocolate lava cakes. We guarantee it will make you and your Valentine's taste buds happy!

A Handwritten Letter

In the age of technology, text messages, and 140 character tweets, take the time to hand write your loved one a letter about all the reasons you care for them. They’ll appreciate the sentiment.

Garden Seeds

Let love grow! Seeds to plant a garden come springtime are the gift that will keep on giving. First, you’ll spend time planting and tending to the seeds, and then you can make delicious meals with the vegetables or fruits that you’ve grown!

Animal Print Art

Thanks to our friends at the Children's Zoo at Celebration Square in Saginaw, you can now order priceless pieces of art hand, hoof, and flipper painted by the most adorable artists ever, the animals!

Take A Trip

Visit a sleepy up north town on Lake Michigan like Charlevoix or Petoskey, or take a trip to a museum like the Flint Institute of Arts or the Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. Shaking things up and changing your surroundings can be healthy for a relationship and feel like a mini vacation!

See a Show/Play

See what's playing at the The Whiting in Flint, the Wharton Center at MSU, or at one of the many theaters in Detroit. An evening of live entertainment is always fun!

A Succulent Plant

A perfect little piece of nature to brighten up your loved one’s work desk. Plus, they don’t require a green thumb to keep alive thankfully. You can find planted succulents at most grocery stores in the flowers/plants section.

Give a Book/Audio Book Membership

Books are never the wrong gift to give! Your Valentine will love the fact that you took the time to find a story for them to enjoy. Consult the New York Times Best Sellers list for ideas or if your Valentine is on the go a lot, consider getting them an audio book subscription so they can listen in their car!
