Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and along with the celebrations comes the challenge of choosing a gift (again…). This time it is doubly challenging – buying a gift in the shadow of the economic crisis and the war. On the one hand, you don’t have to overdo buying a gift that’s too expensive. On the other hand, you are looking for a gift that reflects the unique importance of your spouse.
The importance intensifies especially in this period of economic, family and other challenges. It is precisely during this time that it is important to pay special attention to relationships and family, and Valentine’s Day provides us with the perfect timing for this.
So how do you choose a gift?
- Think about the person receiving the gift – what they like, what excites them or makes them happy.
- Don’t be afraid that you’re “not investing enough.” Sometimes a modest but meaningful gift, a personal blessing that is just right for the recipient, is a gift that is more meaningful than an expensive gift that doesn’t mean much.
- Compare prices – so many companies offer holiday gifts. It’s worth spending the time to research online to see where you’ll get the best value for your money.
DIY gift
Sometimes, a self-made gift is more meaningful and exciting than a store-bought gift. The thought and work you put into the gift will testify to your appreciation for that person.
Here are a few ideas:.
- Porcelain mug with dedication or personal illustration
- Wooden sign or block with a moving quote
- Homemade favorite cookies in a personal box
- Care products and cosmetics prepared at home from products that you have in the kitchen
You can find a variety of guides on the internet for preparing a homemade gift and many other ideas.
A gift that is an experience
A gift does not necessarily have to be a consumer product but can be experience, for example:
- A home-made meal for two
- Hiking or cycling in a location that is meaningful to you, for example: where you first met, or at significant places in your partner’s life.
- Home spa
A personal and exciting gift
You can make gifts with sentimental value, such as:
- Photo album with couples moments you’ll want to treasure
- Couples vision board
- Couples game – a memory game with your pictures / truth or dare / happy families etc.
- Travel Notebook
A gift with value
If you still prefer to purchase a gift, you can purchase products from factories that promote employment for people with special needs – so alongside the financial expense, there is value in contributing to the community. For example: Shekel Factory , Anushop and more…
And in any case – with or without a gift, always celebrate love!
