Gift ideas for that difficult–to–buy–for person in your life
Whether you and your partner have been together for eons, or are just starting out, buying the right gift can sometimes seem like a fine art.
Paying attention might not necessarily be your saving grace — some people are simply harder to buy gifts for than others.
They won’t exclaim with glee when they see something they really like, tipping you off and ensuring their hints are cottoned on to.
When asked, they will tell you there’s nothing they want or need (and they will be perfectly honest).
They might not have obvious interests or engrossing hobbies for you to use as inspiration.
When it comes to these kinds of people, you’re better off sticking to the basics:
FOOD & DRINK
Everyone likes to eat.
If you haven’t been together long enough to have a favourite spot, pick one of the more up–market establishments around town and treat your loved one to an old–fashioned date.
SPA TREATMENTS
Who wouldn’t enjoy a facial? Give the gift of relaxation this Valentine’s Day and join your partner for a classic treatment.
No need to worry about skin sensitivity or allergies — if you make sure to book the treatment at a reputable salon, the specialists will ask all the right questions and use all the right products.
VOUCHERS
If your partner is a reader, or a gamer, or enjoys any other activity that can be grouped into a broad category, get them a voucher and leave the choosing to them.
