With Valentines coming up you might be thinking about gifting a partner or loved one something but unsure of what to make or buy them. There are tons of ideas all over the internet but those can take hours to look through and there’s a possibility that you won’t find anything. This is a small list of ideas that I compiled.
Some of us may not have the money to spend on gifts for someone but that does not mean you can’t give them anything. There are many other options like making handmade gifts, which in my opinion, are sweet and show the other person you truly care for them.
Make a paper flower bouquet which would not take too long and there are many tutorials on Youtube teaching you how to make this small gift. They’re adorable and easy to make, only needing small sheets of paper and tape.
Origami may not be everyone’s specialty so instead, you can make a handmade card and write how you feel about that person. You may also pair that card and flower bouquet together. You’re able to get creative with the card by adding drawings or creating designs on the card.
If those two ideas are not to your liking then if you’re good at cooking or baking you can maybe make something to eat. If you can cook then making a meal for your partner would be a good idea or if you know how to bake then maybe make some pastries or desserts for your person.
Crocheting a bag or even flowers is also another option that has become popular. You’re able to make a lot of things with crochet like beanies or plushies or even clothes; it just depends on your skill level.
There’s also the option of making a booklet or box filled with photos of you with that person.
You could have a bit of candy and small notes saying things you like about them or cheesy little lines and cute decorations.
Making inexpensive handmade gifts shows the other person how much you love them without putting your wallet at risk.
If handmade gifts are not your thing and you are fine with spending money then there are a variety of options that you could choose to make your special someone feel loved.
You could buy your significant other a plush bouquet. These types of bouquets have become very popular, especially among people our age. The prices range from 30-50 dollars depending on the number of flower plushies you get so they’re not crazy expensive.
If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a lego flower bouquet that would also be a great gift for your girlfriend or boyfriend.
Flower bouquets will always continue to be popular and a lot of us would love to receive them. They smell nice and could be very easily found in many stores if there is not a flower shop near you. They’re a classic that will never cease to go out of style.
Clothes are another good gift if you know your partner’s style. They could be worn often and aren’t quick to deteriorate unlike other materialistic items.
Something more affordable is snacks and balloons or a small teddy bear. This could be a little basic but could be vamped up by getting creative with the way you wrap the gift. Instead of a gift bag you could buy a basket and a small lantern and put them together to make it look like a hot air balloon.
All of these gifts are pretty budget-friendly and could be bought online or in stores. These are only a few ideas but hopefully, you were able to decide on one that captures how much you care for your person.
