Valentine’s Day is fast-approaching, and you don’t want to be the guy/girl who gets the typical balloons and chocolate. Although those are great gifts, you might have already given your special someone the same thing before, or maybe you just want to be unique. So with the clock ticking, here are some gift ideas that your valentine will never forget.

• If you want to give your valentine roses, purchase a dozen, take one out and replace it with an artificial flower; when you give them to her, tell her “We will be together ‘til the last rose dies.” By telling your sweet valentine this, she will realize that the last rose is artificial and it will not die.

• Stuffed animals are a hot trend during Valentine’s Day, but you want to be different, so get your sweetie a Build-A-Bear. A Build-A-Bear comes from the heart, and it’s something both of you could share.

• Instead of getting chocolate for your valentine, get them their favorite goodies! Everyone loves a good treat on Valentine’s Day.

• Lotion and body spray are great gifts for girls on this day.

• Mrs. Field’s Cookies creates special Valentine’s Day Collections and oversized cookies, that are not only affordable, but also very tasty.  You have the option to have a sweet note written on the cookie for your special valentine.

• You could also order personalized M&M’s that you can write on and give to your valentine; not only will he/she love the sweet, but they will also love that you took your time to personalize some M&M‘s.

• Jewelry is  the easy way to a girl’s heart, but make sure it’s not just any other piece of jewelry, but rather, one that is authentic and corresponds to her appearance or personality. This gift can be given by both genders, with either a charm bracelet or a watch.  You can also purchase promise rings for you and your partner, along with a letter  explaining the promise that these rings will represent.

• A scrapbook  with memories that the two of you have experienced through out your time together is another sentimental and heartfelt gift.

• Our school also offers great deals on Valentine’s Day Gift Grams! The prices range from $5-$7. The grams will be delivered by ASB during 5th period, so you wouldn’t have to worry about picking it up.

With gifts like these, you are sure to accomplish the goal in making it the best Valentine’s Day for your special someone.
