Roses are red, violets are blue, Valentine's day is just around the corner!
...But don't worry we got you.
Firstly, ladies, you can also buy a gift for him this holiday so this list is for you too. And gentlemen, even if she says she doesn’t need anything for Valentine’s Day, please don’t mind her, there are still many things she wants.
Thinking of the perfect gift that simply says “you are appreciated,” can take some time regardless of if the two of you have been together for a while or just started dating. But shopping for this gift shouldn’t be stressful. This is why AfroVibes has complied a Valentine’s Day Gift list for you.
These gifts can be for your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, mom, dad, friend, or even a close colleague. From flowers to an intimacy deck, we did some digging for that perfect Valentine's day gift for your SOS (someone special)!
For Her:
Flowers:
A nice batch of flowers and a side of chocolates might sound cliché but flowers still win. It’s truly about the presentation. Sending a vase of flowers to her at work isn't uncommon but it's surely appreciated. She will least expect it and you will definitely get brownie points from her work colleagues. Alternatively, surprise her with flowers and rose petals around the house--create the perfect intimate setting. She will be shocked when she walks in and will appreciate the fact that you took the time to decorate the house for her.
$39.26
Perfume:
Of course, she likes to smell good. Pay attention to her favorite perfume brands then purchase one that fits your budget. If you aren’t sure, a few good perfume brands are Lancôme La Vie est Belle, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette, and Chanel ‘Coco Mademoiselle’ Spray. If these aren’t within your budget, any vanilla-scented perfume is also a safe option such as the Vanille Eau de Toilette by L'Aromarine (which is my daily go-to).
