1. Express Your Love with Gratitude
The boyfriend and I thank each other even for the littlest things we do. We mean it every time. Saying “thank you” and these amazing suggestions via Dani will help you express your love.
2. Single? Give Yourself Some Love, too!
These are perfect gift ideas for yourself if you have no one special this V-Day. I’d go for the jewelry. “Go and buy your own damn ring.”
3. Love Songs
When was the last time someone gave you a mix tape? I have never received one in my entire life. For real. This gift is perfect for a perfect combination of vintage and whimsy.
4. For Your Man
Closet Therapy gives us amazing ideas on what to get your guy this Valentine’s Day. From super fancy to low-key, you’ll love her suggestions.
5. For Your Lady
I’d go for the jewelry as well. However, that red and black lace number is tempting as well. Send the link to your guy and drop obvious hints regarding what you want.


I want a time machine. :(( Is there such a gift?

I wish! I really really do.I know why you may want to go back and change certain things but I do believe everything happens for a reason…

Sheila,
I agree. It would be nice going back and live certain moments which we will carry with us for ever, but things chan’t be changes, and mostly it those things didn’t happen that way, we won’t be where we are today!

I’m favorable to mix tapes. Keepin’ it old school one song at a time!

Hey Dani,
We should actually be thanking you. That is such a beautiful post hun. It’s crazy how often we forget little things that should matter. Lately, I’ve been having these insane grumpy moods that I really need to get over. I guess it’s time to think of the small things other people have done and thank them and to go out of my way for the people I love. Sometimes there is nothing more gratifying….

A time machine is a great ‘all-year-round/no holiday needed’ gift :D

I have found out after years of buying for my lady that the best gifts are a combination of thoughtfulness and memory. Memory because I remember she had mentioned a while ago she likes a certain something and thoughtfulness to select a certain something that would mean more than what it is. Maybe a pebble from the first beach we visited. A poem of the first day we met. A frame with pictures of places we have visited together…with a blank space for the future.
