Physical Gift Ideas

You know what I'm talking about! The thing your partner will never buy even though they'll appreciate it daily because they're on their feet all day and a daily heat/cool compression leg to soles level massage is just the type of wellness investment that reaps long term benefits! Just be good to e

I love cooking and my fiancé loves eating! We are absolute foodies and I love to try new things and make our favorite foods at home. I often make our favorite dishes with his help and when I am not around, my fiancé always asks how he can re-make a dish we made together or asks for the recipe. I u

For my first weekend away with my boyfriend, he brought along some Lego sets as a gift to me! He had purchased two botanical-themed sets, and we spent a day just building Lego sets together and talking to each other. It was a brilliant idea because now we have memories we won't forget and flowers th

For our first Christmas as a married couple, I created a pin-up style calendar for my husband on Shutterfly. [Pro tip: they have great discounts around the holidays!] I won't divulge any juicy details, but the process of putting together something I knew he'd like looking at was really enjoyable! Y

The great this about this idea is that you can do it digitally, physically, or even pay someone to do it for you. I don't know about you, but I love personalized gifts. The more sentimental, the better. A small sketch book will do the trick. Fill the book with personalized date, gift, and kindne

Remember way back in a magical time called the 90s. On any given Friday night...once TGIF was over...we would gather around and look at old photo albums. Old, grainy pictures of yourself as a baby with your mom holding you. Mom was probably wearing some god-awful clothes and had some outdated hai

For our 4 year anniversary, I knew I wanted to go somewhere memorable together but I didn't want to be alone in the decision making! I created a pamphlet that started with a picture of us and a plane. It said "you choose". When they opened the pamphlet, it was separated into 3 columns, each individu

Does your spouse have a milestone birthday coming-up? Surprise them with postcards from friends and family near and far. Step 1: Design and print custom postcards. Could be a funny picture of your spouse, birthday clipart, a childhood birthday pic - whatever! Step 2: Reach out to friends and fam

A great gift idea that is super meaningful is a bond touch bracelet. You and your partner each have one and when you are thinking of your partner you touch your bracelet and your partners will light up! This is a sweet way to let them know you are thinking of them especially if you are doing long

Since my fiancé and I started dating, I have kept a memory box of an item from all the special moments or favorite memories we have together. I have a dried up rose from the first bouquet of flowers he ever bought me, concert tickets, a receipt from a very special purchase together, a stone with a t

Sometimes handmade gifts are far better than handing your partner something store-bought! One of my favorite gifts that I made for my partner was an I Love You jar. The idea is simple and easy to put together. I first came up with categories, like "Songs That Remind Me of You," and "My Favorite Memo

Whether it's a want or a need, everyone deserves pampering. Humans work too hard and don't relax enough. This gift idea is so often overlooked, but will do more good than bunch of roses. It can be done as a couple or gifted to an individual. Gift cards are almost always available as well. Someth

On tiny scraps of paper, write a hundred ways that you love your significant other. Crumple them all up and put them into a bin of your design. If you are really feeling crazy, do 365. Each day, let them pick out one and feel the love you have for them!

I want to preface that I am not a mental health professional and that these are simply things that have helped me. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I am relieved when I see that the stigma around mental health is not as hush-hush as it used to be. These are gift ideas for your significant ot

While technially not a physical gift, it's something the recipient will experience IRL. Two words: Singing. Telegram. Readers! These are still a thing. And they are unexpected, fun, and amazing. Most small businesses who do singing telegrams will provide the option to deliver a letter, balloons,
