With Valentine's Day upon you, you or your fiance might find yourselves hurrying about to get the usual chocolate, flowers, or balloons. And while that's a nice gesture, we feel that gifts between partners can have so much more meaning to them. Valentine's Day is about the love you have for each other, so why not let your gift match the sentiment. On that note, we've outlined five great gifts for brides to give their grooms or vice versa on Valentine's Day (or any day):
1) Weekend Getaway- Let's face it, both of you have been busy with planning your wedding, work, and other life commitments. Spending time away not only gives you much needed down time, but also recharges your relationship. You don't have to travel miles either. There are usually plenty of towns within driving distance worth exploring. But make sure it's truly a mini vacation. Agree ahead of time, not to let work interfere with your time away and to make the most of enjoying each other's company.
2) Boudoir Photos- Okay ladies, want to spice up your life? Have some professional boudoir pictures taken to give to your groom. You decide how sexy you want the pictures to be and surprise, he's in for a real treat! Self conscious? Boudoir photographers have a way of making you look your best. But do consult with them ahead of time. You want to hire someone you feel comfortable with and wear something you feel confident in to get the most out of your pictures.
3) Love Letters- Not all gifts have to be expensive. Exchanging love letters with each other is a wonderful way to express your feelings and give your partner a token of that love. Choose to read it aloud to each other or silently. Or if either of you are musicians, write a song for the other describing your love. Lots of room for creativity here. Do what feels best for both of you. The point is to express your love creatively to one another.
4) Keepsakes- This may take a bit more time and planning ahead, but is well worth it. If you have kept any love tokens from your relationship together, like flowers, cards, or other small gifts, arrange them into a keepsake gift for your partner. Tap into your artistic side and bring all the tokens together in a shadow box, frame, vase, or other appropriate piece. Showcasing the keepsakes you've collected over the course of time is a sentimental, yet meaningful expression of your love. It will also make a lovely addition to your new home together.
5) Recreate the Day You Met or Your First Date- What better way to celebrate your love for each other, than by returning to where it started?! Whether you met at a bookstore or had your first date at a quaint restaurant, it will be fun to relive that moment over again. Add special touches, like wearing the same outfit or ordering the same dish. Or do it over the way you envisioned it, if it wasn't what you hoped for the first time around. However you choose to relive the moment, have fun reminiscing the beginning of what turned into a happily ever after.
