You don’t need to wait for a special occasion to make your boyfriend or girlfriend feel loved. These simple and affordable gift ideas are great ways to show your partner how much you care. They can also work as last minute birthday or valentines day gift.
10. A homemade scavenger hunt. Write out simple clues and hide them all over the house, leading to a special prize or date that you have set up. If you’re feeling extra ambitious, you can also hide clues in a nearby park or landmark to make the hunt more exciting.
9. A special home cooked meal. Even if you typically do all the cooking, you can make a meal feel extra special by serving it by candlelight, or playing some romantic music. Or get exotic by cooking something totally new that you can try together.
8. A photo collage of all your special times. There are many apps and websites that will help you create a beautiful photo collage which you can print or give to your sweetie to use as a display picture on social media.
7. Infused alcohol or oil. The process of infusing takes a few days at least, so you might need to start this a few days ahead, but the actual method couldn’t be simpler. Just place some herbs, like basil or mint, inside a bottle of vodka, olive oil or another liquid. Let the mixture sit in a cool, dark place for a few days or even weeks if you want the flavor to be stronger.
6. A little space in your home. Whether you make space in the closet or empty out a drawer, making literal space for someone else in your home is a gift that is sure to be appreciated.
5. A map of all the special locations that are significant to your relationship. Get a map of your city and mark the locations of your first date, favorite landmark, the place where you first said I love you, and any other spots that hold value to you.
4. A playlist of love songs that really speak to you or your partner. If you have similar musical taste, this should be easy. If not, try exposing them to your favorites!
3. A picnic. Whether in your living room with the lights down low or out in a public park on a sunny afternoon, there is just something about a picnic that encourages romance.
2. A walking tour of your favorite spots in the city. Similar to the map mentioned in number five, only come to life.
