Are you sick or tired of sending chocolate and flowers as gifts to your lover on Valentine’s Day? When you use your imagination, you will find there are tons of other great, romantic, and inexpensive options out there.
Below, we list some unique and affordable gift ideas for your sweetheart:
Hair product
Actually, few people will think of hair products as gifts for Valentine’s Day; however, there are many excellent hair and wig products that are quite fashionable and can be used daily, even for different colours of hair. For instance, a few natural shampoos give such herbs as marigold in their “blond-hair” formulas; blackberry and licorice in their formulas for those with jet black locks; and strawberry in their formulas for those with red hair. Also, some fashion human hair products, like cheap human hair extensions, are loved by women of different ages.
It is important to include conditioner as well. When it comes to nutrients and herbs included in these kinds of goods, there is no limit. Several of the most regularly included hair-conditioning ingredients include sea kelp, joboba, biotin, and chamomile. An all-natural “leave-in” deep conditioner is a nice treat to include, too.
Nails. Travel-size hand lotion, emory boards, a nail brush, and clippers are “nail-care musts.” Your health-food store is the source for formaldehyde-free nail polish and acetone-free (even organic!) nail polish remover, too.
Name Necklaces: Personalized name necklace are now quite popular gift idea, it are not only fashionable but affordable, and there are lots of online jewelry stores selling them at very low prices. Normally, you can get them for 29USD to 119USD, especially from Chinese suppliers or AliExpress, etc. A personalized name necklace is definitely a great gift idea to present to your lover on Valentine’s Day.
A custom oil painting: Just like the name necklace, a painting from photo is also made to order and is getting more and more popular these days. It is really amazing to turn photos of your loved ones or any great moments into hand-painted oil paintings in styles like impressionist, realistic, pop, artistic, etc. There are also many galleries out there offering photo-to-painting services, but I highly recommend paintmyphotos.net. Their quality and service are top-notch, and they are studio-based, so the price is quite competitive.
Delivering the goods
With gift selections in hand, the job is still not finished. Packaging is important. If you can’t wrap the present properly yourself, let the staff at the store do it. Sure, we’ve been warned not to judge a book by its cover, but we all do anyway. And “don’t buy at a discounter,” Molloy cautions. “The recipient may want to return the present.” Be sure to include a personal note. “Enclosing your business card without a signature and a personal message is a cold and impersonal way to send a gift,” Letitia Baldrige notes.
Although business presents may be sent by messenger or mail, you’ll make the optimum impact by presenting the gift in person. Baldrige explains: “When you hand a present to someone, your handshake or embrace may be as important as your present.”
Distribute business gifts in private. Gift-giving remains wrapped in delicate emotions for many, and observers may misconstrue the meaning of a gift or wonder why you didn’t give them one.
If the complexities of gift giving still seem impenetrable, “Bah, humbug” isn’t the only solution. Molloy offers this gracious way out: “Department store gift certificates. Our research found that employees enjoy this method of gift-giving” since they pick their own presents. I do it with my own staff,” Molloy adds. “It saves me lots of trouble, and it means I never give a present an employee doesn’t want.”
Happy Valentine’s Day!
