The Bare Minimum

Valentine's Day is here, but you have no gift for the love of your life. Fear not, as we have a list of last minute gifts that will make it even more personal and special.

1. A Love Journal
Buy your love a nicely bound journal, and write on the first page. You could write in detail about how they have changed your life or list out their characteristics that endear them to you. This is a labour of love, but one that will definitely be appreciated.

2. Picnic for Two
You don't need to make restaurant reservations for a romantic dinner on Valentine's Day. Arrange for a surprise picnic with food from your favourite café or gourmet shop. Grab some chocolates, a bouquet of flowers, a mat and a cosy blanket to cuddle under. 

3. The Spa Way
You could give your love a 60-minute gift certificate for a spa treatment. Your valentine will only feel love for you, as the masseuse massages the stress out of their body.

4. Picture Perfect
A picture is worth a thousand words; choose a picture of the two of you or one that evokes a shared memory. The picture should have a story and should be one that you both love.

5. Go Shopping

Take the time out to go shopping with your valentine. A shopping trip could actually be more personal than any store-bought gift. You are giving them the gift of your time and letting them shop to their heart's desire. What more can a valentine want?
