Personalised Coupons
While less exciting to receive than diamonds or electronics, most guys deeply value experiences over just more “stuff”. Personalised coupons full of mini adventures you’ll share together are sure to charm.
Try making coupons for:
- A steak dinner he grills himself
- Watching his favourite movie while you make his favourite snack
- Going bowling or mini golfing – the loser pays!
- An afternoon checking out a new hiking trail
- Breakfast in bed
- And more surprises only the two of you would enjoy!
Get creative, splash in some humour, and get ready to schedule lots of memorable dates. Just present it creatively – think ribbon tie or an artfully designed envelope.
A Sentimental Scrapbook
Dig up old pictures, movie stubs, drawings, inside joke references and mementoes from your relationship. Arrange them artfully in a blank journal or scrapbook with captions adding context and sweet messages. Flip through years of memories together with wine on Valentine’s Day – an incredibly thoughtful gesture he’ll always remember.
Custom Artwork of a Special Location
Think back on locations that hold significance for your relationship – perhaps where you shared your first kiss, had a memorable vacation, got engaged, etc. You can commission an Etsy artist to recreate a custom hand-drawn portrait or stylized print of places with emotional meaning you’ll both recognize. Frame it up nicely for a distinctive personalised gift.
A Loving List of “100 Reasons Why I Love You”
Explain in your own words all the wonderful qualities, quirks and traits you cherish in your man. Once you get writing, the list grows longer and faster! Turn it into beautiful custom typographic art he can frame or display by ordering from easy online print shops like Minted. It’s an amazing memento proving how much you notice and care.
Conclusion
The options for easy but full-of-love homemade Valentine’s Day gifts are endless. With a dash of creativity and personalisation, you’re sure to make him feel special without spending more time and effort. What unique ideas do you have to wow your love this February 14th?
