The pressure of making an outrageous display of love on Valentine’s Day is intense and seemingly inescapable. It’s everywhere you turn; tradition, pop culture, the commercial world, and even family and friends are all in a buzz with romantic gift ideas to sweep their or your significant other off their feet. From candle lit evenings of fine dining and enormous boxes of chocolates to dozens of roses and heart shaped jewels, the options are endless, expensive, and over the top. What if your relationship is in the development stage—that is, you are dating and you like each other well enough, but aren’t quite at the elaborate-display-of-affection stage yet. What do you do for Valentine’s Day? It’s a fine line you will have to walk: you can’t do too much (you’ll scare him or her off!), but you have to do something (you don’t want to give the impression that you don’t care). Allow me to propose a solution: gift baskets.
With the variety of gift baskets available online, and the no-nonsense ordering and delivery options which accompany them, you can create the perfectly romantic effect for your V-Day sweetheart. Here’s how you do it: select either a chocolate, desert, wine, or flower basket online. The kind of gift basket you choose is up to you and what you know about your valentine—does he or she enjoy wine and cheese? Or is your valentine more the cookie and cake type? Does he or she appreciate exotic flowers or prefer exquisite chocolates? But don’t fret too much over this step; whatever you choose will be appreciated for its thoughtfulness.
Next step: have the gift basket sent anonymously—but include a sweet message: “To my Valentine…” or the less assuming, “Be my Valentine?” are each innocent enough— to your special someone on Valentine’s Day. If Valentine’s Day falls on a work day, then you will want the gift basket sent to his or her workplace sometime during the morning so that, after receipt of your gift basket, your valentine and you still have time to make plans for the evening. Once the gift basket has been sent, your job is to wait. Your valentine, upon receiving your thoughtful gift, should be giving you a call to arrange things for the evening. If you ordered a wine or gourmet food basket, evening plans might involve sharing the contents of the basket. If you sent chocolate or flowers, then suggesting a dinner out might do. Romantic comedy films are also fail-safe for a dating couple’s Valentine’s evening activity.
Whatever you decide on, don’t let cupid get the better of you! Try out gift baskets for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift surprise and make Valentine’s Day feel less like an arrow in the butt, and more like a holiday with a sweetheart.
