How to choose the best Valentine's Day gifts for your wife
When it comes to buying presents for women on Valentine's Day, your safest bet are red roses. The colour of the rose can have a different meaning to what you actually want to say, which is why red roses are always given on Valentine's Day. This is because they say 'I love you' and symbolise love and passion.
Sales of roses always spike on Valentine's Day and are considered the traditional gift given on Valentine's Day, and prices also tend to increase during this period. Given that demand for flowers on this day, you may want to buy your flowers in advance and will have to ensure that they do not wilt before they're gifted. Opt for flowers that last longer than others and require little care or maintenance.
If roses aren't your thing or you want to get different flowers, tropical flowers, alstroemeria and war horse orchids tend to last longer than most others. Flowers can also suffer greatly because of bacteria so make sure to replace water periodically while also rinsing and cutting its stem.
If you know which flowers your wife likes, flower shopping becomes much easier. If not, you can try to draw from colours or perfumes she likes. Primulas symbolise new life after the passing of winter; red, pink, and orange tulips represent true love, happiness and desire respectively; moth orchids in vibrant mauves, pinks, yellows and greens help conjure romantic images; and if you wish to apologise for something you've done, there's no better way than doing it with a bunch of lily of the valley flowers.
But if you don't to get your wife flowers in general, then following these tips can help you get the best Valentine's day present for your wife.
What does she want?
The simplest way to decide what to buy for your wife this Valentine's Day is to find out if there's anything she wants. You can take a trip down memory lane and try to remember items she's spoken of in the past, or you can ask her friends or relatives if she's craving any product in particular. You can even pay attention to items she that catch her attention when you go shopping; if you're the kind of bloke who doesn't usually go shopping with his wife, now's as good a time as any to start.
The gift of time
There's no shortage of women who complain about their husbands not giving them enough time, and if find yourself in this boat, gifting her all the time you can afford is a great idea. This could involve taking off on an unplanned vacation, or snuggling at home over the weekend with some fine wine and her favourite DVDs. Of course, you'll have to ensure that you keep work at bay during this period. This means no emails, no text messages and no phone calls.
Presentation matters
Irrespective of what you plan to buy or make for your wife, pay attention to its presentation. For example, if your wife has mentioned that she wants an iPhone, giving her one in its original packaging is not as impressive as if you take some time and effort to wrap it nicely. Gift wrapping an item makes it look like a gift, and it also gives you the opportunity to add personal touches. On the other hand, if you are gifting her a holiday or a spa treatment, you don't have to worry about presentation.
