Valentine’s Day is the perfect day for couples to express their love and appreciation for each other through thoughtful and romantic gestures. Whether you’re in a new relationship or have been with your partner for years, finding the perfect gift for your significant other can be challenging and exhausting. We have put together a quick gift guide to help you find the perfect gift for your loved one.
Romantic Gifts for Her
When finding a gift for the woman in your life, you want to make it as special and thoughtful as you can. You don’t need to go all out, but there are plenty of romantic gifting options to choose from. Jewelry is always a great choice and has recently become quite popular as a preferred gifting option. As per the National Retail Federation, the amount of jewelry bought alone in 2020 was at a whopping $5.8 billion. Dubai has a huge collection of jewelry stores all around town – you can find unique or customized pieces at stores like Joyalukkas or Damas.
If you decide to go the traditional route, a bouquet of red roses or her favorite flowers is a classic and timeless way to show your love. Surprise her at work with a flower delivery service or deliver it yourself and see her face light up. Check out the best places to buy blooming beautiful bouquets in Dubai.
For a sweeter touch, you can also purchase a box of chocolates from local chocolatiers or also create a gift basket or hamper that includes 2 or more things and surprise them with everything that possibly didn’t know they wanted. Did you know that you can find all this and much more on EventStan?
If you’re looking for something a bit more relaxing, consider a spa package or a massage treatment at one of the many luxurious spas Dubai has to offer.
Thoughtful Gifts for Him
We often think that shopping for men is easy, however, choosing the perfect gift for the man in your life can be just as tricky as shopping for her. However, Dubai being the luxurious city that it is, there are plenty of options and customizable gifts to choose from.
Starting with tech, gadgets like the latest smartphone, smartwatches, or wireless headphones are always popular among men. In addition, video games and gaming consoles are something that usually appeals to most men. These can be purchased from stores like Virgin Megastore or Emax. Alternatively, you can also shop online for some of the best deals.
Another gifting option for men would be colognes from brands like Tom Ford or Creed that are easily available at Sephora. Consider gifting a customized leather wallet with their initials, a watch strap, or even a personalized grooming kit from The Art of Shaving for something more unique. These gifts express your love and are also something that can be used daily, thinking of you every time they are used.
Creative Gifts for Couples
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about just spoiling your significant other. It’s also an opportunity to spend time and create new memories together. If you’re looking for creative gift ideas that you can enjoy together, consider booking an experience. For instance, you and your loved one can set off on a hot air balloon ride amidst the desert of Dubai with Balloon Adventures, or take a scenic helicopter tour with HeliDubai, or even go on a dhow cruise with Xclusive Yachts. For more options and ideas, simply visit EventStan to book your experience, along with food, entertainment and much more.
Many small businesses these days have turned towards a more creative approach, allowing you to purchase items that you and your loved one can enjoy together. For instance, get a puzzle with a picture of both of you that needs to be solved together and you can then frame it too. Or get a customized side table prop with a collage or picture with the two of you and a sweet message/song – now that’s something to cherish and hold onto for years to come.
Last-Minute Gift Ideas
If you’re running out of time and need last-minute gift options, don’t worry we’ve got ideas for that too! Here are a few things you can do:
