Valentine’s Day Shopping Tips and Gift Ideas
Valentine’s Day Shopping Tips and Gift Ideas
Start Shopping Early
We all procrastinate — it’s true. However, gift-giving isn’t the time to wait until the last minute. In fact, it may be a good idea to start shopping during the holiday season when there are sales galore and you’ve already got gift-giving on the mind. Whatever you do, make sure your partner isn’t stuck with an eleventh-hour gift that you put no thought into!
Make Your Gift Meaningful
Nothing says “I love you” more than a meaningful gift. While stores will put out teddy bears and chocolates for Valentine's Day, giving a generic gift isn't the best way to show that you truly care for someone.
Listen to your partner. Maybe your partner has mentioned something about wanting to destress, or they've been looking at a certain item while you were out shopping, so make a mental note of it and surprise them with a spa day or that coveted item. Surprising your loved one with a meaningful gift that you gave a lot of thought to will make a big statement about how much you listen and how important they are to you.
Remember: Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend
Guys, this one is for you. Diamond jewellery is always a hit and is the gift that keeps on giving. So whether you’re planning a Valentine’s Day proposal or you want your partner to unwrap a gorgeous set of earrings, diamonds are the way to go! Plus, now with the availability of lab-created diamonds, you can snag a pair of diamond studs, a tennis bracelet, or engagement ring at up to 40% less than you would pay for the same jewellery made with mined stones.
Gift An Experience
Gifting an experience, such as a weekend getaway, racing a supercar on a track, skydiving, or even just a night on the town, can create lasting memories for you and your partner. It’s also a great time to let your creativity shine. Plan a unique adventure that includes activities you’ve always wanted to do or to a place you’ve both had on your bucket list.
If you are spending Valentine’s Day single, this one’s for you as well. Gift yourself an experience to remember or get a group of girlfriends together for the perfect gals weekend.
Stick To A Budget
Gift-giving is not for the faint of heart. In fact, it can be stressful and overwhelming to try and find a great gift for your loved one. However, with these tips and a little Cupid’s magic, you can make the day special with the perfect gift. So, don’t worry.
Remember, Valentine's Day is a day for celebrating love. Whether you find yourself shopping for a diamond ring or staying in with your friends, make sure you’re making the most of it!

Stick To A Budget
This one’s not so fun, but it is important. It’s natural to want to demonstrate your love through an expensive gift, but it’s not necessary to break the bank on Valentine’s Day. Make the gift budget-friendly by saving up throughout the year for a big gift or simply creating a budget and sticking with it. If you have a small budget, making a special meal for your loved one and staying in with a bottle of wine may be the best gift they have had in ages!
