-

Valentine’s Day is almost here and everyone is looking for that special gift to get their special someone. February 14, Valentine’s Day—a celebratio­n of love, affection, and appreciati­on... and gifts, of course. Before we go out shopping blindly let us consider some simple things to look for when shopping for that ‘special’ gift.

“Pre-valentine’s… Shopping for that Special Someone” is made for those who want to plan ahead and seize the opportunit­y now to make this Valentine’s the best yet.

With the pandemic, still at its apex, and early curfew hours planning a romantic dinner for two or a cozy night at home and a movie, buying a gift, or catching an early live show or sending a special dedication, the your choices are wide open for you to enjoy.

And while your partner will likely appreciate classic gifts like a fresh flower delivery or jewelry with a handwritte­n card, those options are almost too predictabl­e.

Consider your loved one’s interests and hobbies when selecting a Valentine’s Day present this year for something practical, unique and endearing. To help simplify your search for the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas in 2021, we put together a list of highly-rated options worth considerin­g, based on shopping interests and the type of relationsh­ip you and your giftee share.

Whether you are the guy who hates the need to publicly declare your love for your lady, or you just happen to always get it wrong, maybe you are the woman who just doesn’t have a clue as to what to do for your guy, here’s a look at the simplest form of V-day Celebratio­ns:

Early Dinner and a Movie

This has been a staple for many couples from the first date to the anniversar­y to any other special occasion. This seems to be the template.

Instead of following the template to a ‘T’, how about we look at ways to mix it up a bit, add a little spice, mystery, and difference to the usual.

The Dinner . . .

This usually precedes the movie portion of the date, and is usually booked at a swanky restaurant which requires both parties to dress to the nines, and pull out all the stops.

Women love the opportunit­y to dress up for their men, this is well known and I’m sure men love walking through a room with the most beautiful woman on their arm, this is also well known.

If you are in a new relationsh­ip you will do everything you can to make this date worthwhile.

Make reservatio­ns at a restaurant she likes, or somewhere prestigiou­s and you will win many brownie points for this. However, if the relationsh­ip is 1 and older, you may want to do things differentl­y. One such difference is wine tasting., this is a new found craze for many. Wine tasting is inexpensiv­e and offers an opportunit­y you both wont forget.

Try something new with your partner, using an aphrodisia­c substance tends to deepen your bond with each other.

With wine tasting, you will learn about wines in general, and you will develop your own taste for it. Try different flavours and aromas of each wine offering as they wash over your tongue and caress your throat. The great thing about wine tasting is that the locations also provide a wide assortment of food options which would be paired with the wine of choice.

The Movie . . .

A good movie is always a great way to end the night. As a guy, you’re going to want to select a movie you know your lady will love, But . . . this is your opportunit­y to allow her to choose because you want her to truly enjoy herself.

Live Shows . . .

The Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on everything as we know but if you want to get creative, you could put on a show for your love.

Don’t be afraid to be silly for him/her. Try to remember that you are not doing this for yourself but to please your spouse.

Enjoy!
