Valentine's Day Blog Part 2: Top 10 Valentine's Day gifts!


Hey there everyone!

As you all know, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching…and let’s be honest, sometimes your significant other (SO) – or you yourself! - could use a little help in the gift idea department! There are always such huge expectations for V-Day…when really, it doesn’t have to be a big deal J. What us girls want more than anything is really just the gift of our SO’s time spent with us!

That said, we’ve come up with a list of the top 10 – both classic and creative – gift ideas that most girls would LOVE to receive (I know I would!!).

Here we go!

10) Classic: Her favourite flowers! A never-fail go-to, the traditional gift of a bouquet of her favourite flowers is always a winner!

9) Creative: Give her chocolates…BUT design a chocolate bar created especially for her! At Chocomize you can pick her favourite flavor of chocolate (milk, dark, white) and then you can add her favourite nuts, seeds, candy, fruit etc that she loves most! You can even decorate it with Valentine’s hearts, sprinkles, an 'I love you' chocolate plaque…the choice is yours! Chocolates PLUS designed especially for her? Guaranteed win.




8) Classic: Make her a romantic dinner at your place (her favourite meal, with wine, of course), light some candles, turn on some music…you get the idea. We always feel special when you take time to do something just for us!

7) Creative: Scour the various Groupon/Teambuy sites for a daily deal for cooking classes you can do together! Not only will you both pick up some new skills, but the time spent together is priceless. Sign up at Dealradar to get all of the various daily deals from different sites sent to you in ONE email each day!

6) Classic: Jewelry. Need I say more?

5) Creative: Specifically, Pandora jewelry. For anyone who doesn’t know, Pandora is a company that makes adult-version charm bracelets…and you can pick out charms especially for her! They vary from different cute animals (what’s her favourite?) to Valentine’s Day hearts and flower charms, to specific charms like a die that you can only buy in Las Vegas! Pick one out that suits her personality and she will be sure to love it!



4) Classic: Lingerie…a gift for her AND for you! Satin or lace, pink, black, red or white…doesn’t matter as long as it’s sexy! (Hint…try to get a peek at her exact bra and panty size!) Bonus points if you also get her a set of the comfiest, cutest PJs you can find…these ones are JUST for her, so sexy isn’t a requirement. Her favourite baby animals printed on them, super-soft materials…these are the kinds of things you’re looking for. We recommend Lasenza or Victoria's Secret for both of these options, and both stores are located in most Canadian malls!

3) Creative: A romantic (and sexy!) games night! We recommend the official 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Party Game with the Red Room expansion pack, of course!


2) Classic: A beautiful framed photo of the two of you – bonus points if you decorate the frame yourself!

1) Classic AND Creative: A spa day just for her (What kind of Ladies of Leisure would we be if we didn't recommend this as #1?!?). We recommend one of the Valentine’s packages at her favourite spa. (Here are links to the specials at Elmwood Spa, and The Spa at the Hilton Suites, for some examples!)

Remember, the best gift your girl could possibly get is time spent with YOU! Here's hoping that this Valentine's Day is a special one for all of you out there!

Lots of love from your coupled-up Lady of Leisure,

T
