What Valentine’s Gift Should You Buy for Your Bae This Year?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Molloy chapter.

Valentine’s Day is a special day to celebrate the person you love! Here’s a simple guide on what to get your bae for Valentine’s Day this year in case you just have no idea!

1. A Box of Godiva Chocolate

This is the perfect gift to get your bae if you are in a newly formed relationship! Or if you are single and are totally into someone and really want to make it obvious, this would be the perfect gift. It’s like the perfect amount of money because it’s not a wedding engagement ring, but it’s expensive enough to show that you care about that special someone! Plus chocolate is always the way to go (unless someone is allergic). This is also the perfect gift to surprise yourself with this year if there happens to be no crush or significant other. Treat yo’ self!

2. Flowers

Flowers are totally a classic gift! Usually most of the time they are a complementary gift, but it depends on how expensive the flowers are, or if you have another gift. If you already have another gift, it doesn’t matter! Flowers are always a perfect complement! Pretty flowers that aren’t too cheap and are also good for people in new relationships. However, flowers are really a good gift for anyone! There are also some really expensive and beautiful flowers out there that anyone would appreciate if you’re looking to spend more money (but, wow, why would you?)

3. New Clothes/Shoes

This type of a gift is perfect for anyone who’s been in a relationship for about a year so. Hopefully by now you know this person’s taste in clothes and that’s why this gift would be perfect. There’s always a new pair of shoes or boots or sweater that your date wants. Everyone loves new clothes and your date would be so happy if you got them a nice new shiny pair of shoes (who wouldn’t?). The important thing to note is to get them something they would want to wear not something YOU want them to wear!

4. Jewelry

Jewlery. Almost nothing beats jewelry! This gift is so practical and basically perfect for anyone. A nice, beautiful necklace can go a long way; for a guy a nice, new watch will do perfectly! Of course there’s cheap jewelry for those new couples out there, but this gift can also be perfect for couples that have been around for a long time. No one can turn down expensive and meaningful jewelry. And if you can’t decide what stone that special guy or girl would like, go with their birthstone!

5. Something They Have Been DYING to Have

There’s always that one thing that your loved one wants that they definitley do not need, but they are convinced otherwise. Find that one thing they ALWAYS talk about, no matter how outrageous it is. You will make them so happy they will do multiple backflips (without previously being able to have done so before.) Get them tickets to their favorite band or some merchandise of a band or show that they are convinced they cannot live without. They might die from hapiness though, so be careful.

6. Something Sentimental

This is perfect for those who have been in a relationship for a long time. It’s super sentimental and super perfect to give your loved one might cry if you give them a collage of the both you over the years. There are no guarantees, of course (I would totally cry). Really any type of sentimental gift would work, but I mean a collage is definitely the cutest (and the best!)

Hopefully this article will help you a little on what to buy your valentine. Oh and make sure you take them on a date! Like ice skating, or a restauraunt, or even a movie! Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day, and for those by yourselves, force yourself into someone else’s date or treat yo’ self!!
