There is always so much pressure to get the right thing for Valentine's Day. But that pressure is coming from no one, but you - If it's coming from your partner, that's a whole different story/blog. Anyway, quit putting so much pressure on yourself! Unless your partner gives you a list (or you obsessively keep an ongoing list on your phone and update it every time your partner mentions "that would be cool to have", like me, because yes, I'm mildly insane) you probably could use some ideas. Here are a few fresh ideas on what to get that person in your life:
Beer Making Kit: From the Brooklyn Brew Shop. This contains everything you need to make your own home brews! brooklynbrewshop.com
Spike Your Juice: Have you read my blog entry? You should. This stuff is great! spikeyourjuice.com
The Hunger Games trilogy: This may not scream romance, but it will give you endless hours of conversation. amazon.com
Jonathan Adler Ceramics: charming and quirky ceramics and house decor for your stylish partner. jonathanadler.com
Other ideas - gift cards to a local spa, Living Social or Groupon deals to do as a couple, cupcakes or cake pops (Lollicakes! if you live in my town) at work or waiting at home.
The key - tailor gifts to your partner's tastes (obviously), but never underestimate the power of flowers at work and a homemade dinner. Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about grand gestures and romantic-comedy romance. It's about spending time with the person you love and letting them know how much you care.
