The Best Last-Minute Valentine’s Day Gifts

By Sarah Sahagian @sarahsahagian · On February 14, 2019

We get it. You’re busy, or perhaps you just started seeing someone special. There are plenty of reasons people need last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts, and we’re here to rescue you with this thoughtful list. Your boo will be delighted! You can thank us later…

Recite A Love Poem

Relax, you don’t have to write the poem yourself (unless you’re into that). Find a romantic poem that reminds you of your partner, print it off using a fancy font, and give a recitation. This is a sweet, heartfelt gesture that’s sure to move your paramore to their very core. We recommend the sonnets of Pablo Neruda, who wrote a hundred of sweet poems for his wife when they were newlyweds. How romantic!

Bake Cookies!

Are you good in the kitchen? Harness that talent by surprising your sweetie with something sweet, their favourite cookies. This is a fantastic Valentine’s Day gift, because who doesn’t like cookies? The answer is only sociopaths! Remember, don’t make your favourites. Be absolutely certain that said baked goods are your partner’s preferred kind.

Buy Concert Tickets!

Even if you have Amazon Prime, it’s probably too late to order a physical gift only. However, you can purchase concert tickets – the proof of which will be delivered directly to your inbox. Peruse concert listings to see if your boo’s favourite band will be playing near you any time soon. Flowers die, but the memories from a fantastic concert are forever!

Prepare A Sensual Massage!

Touch is a powerful love language. So, why not spoil your sweetheart with a slow, sensual massage? We’re not suggesting you give them a homemade “Free Massage” gift certificate. Remember, we’re not in Grade 5 anymore! However, if you light some candles and show you’re ready to go to town with a back rub right now, there’s a good chance your partner will appreciate it.
