With Valentine's Day approaching, you may begin to start thinking about the perfect gift for your wife. Valentine's Day is a great occasion to find something special and meaningful for her. While many may view the holiday as commercial or forced, it will still mean a lot to your wife if you do something special, even if it is small.
While the traditional route to take for Valentine's Day gifts is often flowers, a card, and maybe chocolates, there are a lot of other more personal gifts that you can consider. Here are a few ideas to think about when coming up with the perfect gift for your wife.
Tickets to a Special Event
If you wife is a big fan of a certain musical group or loves to see plays, then consider getting her tickets to a show that you two can go to. This will be especially thoughtful if it is for an event that you would not normally choose to go to. It will mean a lot to your wife that you are willing to attend to make her happy. Marriage is about compromise and if she has always went with you to ballgames or other events that she does not particularly like, then this can be a great way to show her that you appreciate her and are willing to spend time with her doing the things that she likes as well.
Surprise Upgrade
There are also some practical things that you can do for your wife to celebrate Valentine's Day. For instance, if she has been commenting about getting a new phone, then consider making it happen for Valentine's Day! And while that may not be very romantic, consider customizing her phone's background with a picture of the you both and a sweet message. If you are getting a smartphone, then you may consider downloading some fun apps for her to start off with. Or even a special ringtone, such as her favorite song at the moment or if you want to impress her, you can download the ringtone of the song you and her first danced to on your wedding day.
Interest Related Gift
If your wife has a special interest or hobby, like cooking or playing the piano, then a gift that encourages her hobbies can be a very special way to show her that you love her this holiday. Consider getting her special cooking equipment if she loves to try new recipes. Or if she is a lover of great wines, then maybe a cool wine fridge or a membership to a wine-of-the-month club would make her happy. Giving her a gift that is related to her interests show that you took some time to think about what would make her happy and that will mean more to her than a dozen red roses any day.
Customized Coupons
While customized coupons may seem a little cheesy, it can be a fun gift for wife especially if you choose some coupons that will make her happy. Along with the traditional coupons for cooking dinner or doing laundry, you can include some special coupons that are unique to your marriage, then it will make the idea extra special. For instance, if she enjoys romantic comedies, but you can't stand them, include a coupon that says you will go see the next romantic comedy of her choosing without complaining. These types of fun coupons will really show that you care and are willing to get out of your comfort zone to make her happy.
