You have a special someone in your life. You often try to show them how much they mean to you. But sometimes, gift-giving can be a challenge as you may not be quite sure how to pick out something for them. Especially if they already have a lot of things they like and shop for. But gifts with meaning (aka: sentimental gifts) can be the perfect way to show up for them and appreciate them on a special day or really, for any occasion. Here are a few tips to consider when shopping for the perfect gift for someone special:

A piece of art celebrating the moment you met
Whether it’s a star map or just a map of the spot where you first met that you could hang up in your home, there’s something so sweet about a visual reminder of the day that things changed for the better, for both of you. It’s also a piece of art or décor that can help you decorate your home, but with more meaning than just a simple piece of art that you buy from a box store or even a local artist.
Taking your art further than just a design you hang up—make it something special for your loved one to celebrate the best moment for both of you.
A sweet treat on a random day
We’re used to receiving sweet treats on days like Valentine’s Day or for holidays like Christmas. But a sweet treat on a random day can really be the sweetest gesture of love of all. You can bet that they wouldn’t expect St Patrick’s Day gifts and yet if you give them special treats on that day, they’re bound to love it even more than if you were gifting something on a day where it’s expected like Valentine’s Day.
A romantic getaway
Do you want to spend quality time with your loved one? It can be a challenge in day-to-day life to get enough time together due to things like work, studies or kids if you’re married. A romantic getaway allows you to step away from the busyness of life to get some quality time with each other.
For some people, quality time is super important and if your significant other values this, you can bet that they would love a trip together, even if it’s just right outside your city. Plan this gift for some time so that you can be sure your time off matches up and you get this time together.
A gift box
There are plenty of gift box options that you could give your significant other. For the man in your life, there are special gift boxes for men that include great items that a man would appreciate but that maybe they wouldn’t shop for themselves. For the lady in your life, a gift of beauty products or fragrance gifts could be ideal for them, showing them how much you love them and appreciate them. There are a number of options you can shop for online, making it easy for you to get the perfect gift.
Keep it simple
An engraved wallet or an engraved piece of jewelry may sound cliché, but they can be sweet gifts that are actually highly valued. If you notice that your special person loves jewelry, you may want to get them a customized necklace with their name on it. If your man has an old wallet that is obviously losing its charm, an engraved leather wallet is an appealing gift that also serves a purpose. They’ll think of you every time they pull it out, which is probably going to be several times in one day, so it’s a win-win kind of gift.
In Conclusion
From a romantic getaway to a sweet treat, gifts for your loved one can be simple or intricate. At the end of the day, you can be sure they’ll just love receiving something from you.
