What to give for Valentine's Day: top 10 gifts for him and her

Valentine's Day is not only the most beloved holiday of lovers, but also a kind of quest. From year to year, couples try to please each other with some unusual and original gift. For those who are tired of bouquets, sweets, perfumes, socks and shaving kits, we have compiled a list of presents that can surprise a loved one. And most importantly, this can be done not for all the money in the world.

Valentine's Day Gifts for Women

The list of the most popular Valentine's Day gifts for girls and women for many years now includes bouquets and sweets (or sweet bouquets), jewelry, perfumes and iPhones. If you are not looking for easy ways (or have not yet saved up for the latest version of a popular gadget), here you are a list of gifts that will give much more emotions than the fifth set of earrings or a bottle perfume.

Canvas print with photo (from 250-550 UAH)

This gift will not leave any girl indifferent - especially if you choose a joint photo for a gift. The only thing is, try to carefully coordinate it in advance: not all the photos that you like may like your soulmate. Be sure to order retouching, because the smallest skin imperfections will be clearly visible in the picture. A win-win option is to convert the photo to black and white format: such a picture will look stylish in any interior. You can ask the designer to add some kind of tender and touching inscription to the photo. In the size of 30 * 40 cm, such paintings cost from 250 UAH.

The "advanced" option is painting by numbers with your photo. If your girlfriend loves to draw, she will definitely like this gift. All that is needed from you is, again, to approve in advance the photo that your beloved likes. The manufacturer itself will convert it into a picture format and complete the set with the necessary paints. The cost of such a gift in the amount of 30*40 cm starts from 550 UAH.

Hand butterflies (from 650 UAH)

If your other half dreams of a pet, giving her a cat or dog as a “surprise” is not an option. Even the strongest desire is not yet a guarantee that the beloved is ready to take on such a serious responsibility. But you can give a butterfly (butterfly breeding kit). It is not only fascinating, but also very beautiful.

A set can contain from two to five or six butterflies (the cost depends on the quantity): they are sent in the form of pupae, and you yourself must arrange the conditions for them to magically transform. After the butterfly hatches from the pupa, it needs to be fed until the life cycle ends (this is about a week). A kind of mini-training before the establishment of a more "serious" pet. Such butterflies are completely tame, they flutter around the apartment without fear and sit on people. So with a gift you can take a lot of incredible photos for memory.

Joint trip to the master class (from 700 UAH)

Every person has some hobbies. And all psychologists write that in a pair they do not have to be common. You can be crazy about fishing while your girlfriend is relaxing on beading. But on Valentine's Day, you can share the hobby of your soulmate or pick up an activity that will be interesting to both. After all, nothing brings people together better than working together. Together you can even try something that you would not dare to do separately - for example, a master class in drumming, pottery, soap making or sand painting. Culinary master classes and master classes in painting are very popular among lovers.

Horse riding for two (from 900 UAH)

A horse ride together through a snowy forest is a very romantic gift. And it is suitable even for those who have never ridden. In equestrian clubs for beginners, very meek, calm and obedient horses are selected. You will be instructed, and during the walk the instructor will always stay close by. In just an hour of riding, you will get a lot of incredible emotions from contact with these strong and kind animals. It is worth considering the possibility of taking pictures after skiing - for sure your soulmate will want to brag about such an unusual gift in social networks.

Studio photo shoot (from 2000 UAH)

There is no such woman who would not like to star in a photo shoot. And although now it is not difficult to organize such a gift, this pleasure is not cheap, so not everyone can afford it. Well, if you yourself agree to take part in photography: many young ladies complain that they have very few common photos with their loved one. And be sure to provide that the cost of your gift includes a professional make-up. Few people remember this expense item, and then you have to pay extra on the spot (and this is unpleasant if your loved one goes to the photo shoot herself).

Valentine's Day Gifts for Men

Men on Valentine's Day are also usually given the same thing. In the ranking of popular presents, hygiene products (shower gels, shaving kits or perfume), socks with shorts (now they can be given in tin cans) and edible bouquets are firmly in the lead. However, you can get confused and please your strong soul mate with something more original. Here is a small list of gifts that all men will like without exception.

Erotic board game (from 250 UAH)

Briefs with erotic prints are no longer in fashion. If you want to diversify your sex life and add a touch of excitement to it, pay attention to board (most often card) erotic games. They are inexpensive, but can brighten up your long winter evenings. In addition, during the game it is easier to discard awkwardness: it is in a playful way that you can find out about the desires and preferences of a partner that he cannot or is embarrassed to tell you.

Paired T-shirts (from 600 UAH)

There are never too many T-shirts in a man's wardrobe. This is universal clothing, in which you can even go to the yard, even to a restaurant. Therefore, the option with paired T-shirts will be both cute and practical at the same time. Even if your lover is embarrassed to wear such a T-shirt on the street, he definitely will not refuse to wear it around the house for your pleasure (and you can regularly make cute family looks).

A more “luxurious” gift option is a pair of embroidered bathrobes. They cost from 1000 UAH apiece, but they look very rich. Just check if your man wears bathrobes in principle, so that an expensive present does not gather dust in the closet on the shelf.

Visiting the quest room (from 800 UAH)

One of the universal gifts is a joint visit to the quest room. Now they are in almost every major city, and they offer a lot of plot options - from bloody horror films and escapes from prison to games on the theme of popular films and TV shows (for example, a quest based on The Lord of the Rings, The Avengers, and even Games in squid"). You can definitely choose what your man will like. And the joint passage of the quest will not only give a surge of adrenaline, but also bring you together, make you feel like one team in the face of danger.

ATV ride (from 700 UAH)

Such an extreme pastime will be appreciated even by “sofa activists”. Quad biking is a drive, an adventure and an opportunity to let off steam. You can take a certificate for one person, but it is better to ride together (pair skating price from 1000 UAH). What man would not want to tame an iron horse and rush his beloved through a thousand obstacles? Just keep in mind that there is a weight limit: no more than 150 kg per piece of equipment. The rental price usually immediately includes instruction and protective equipment. The only thing you need is a driver's license. If your man has them, you can ride an ATV or buggy even without driving experience.

Parachute jump (from 2100 UAH)

In the depths of his soul, probably every man dreams of skydiving. This dream comes from childhood, when the boys without exception want to become pilots and astronauts. It can also be considered a kind of initiation, initiation into “real men” - if in a company your loved one has a person who has already skydived, he just needs to do the same most. The only exception is the fear of heights and flying on airplanes. Carefully find out if your partner has acrophobia or aerophobia. If not, feel free to buy him a certificate for a parachute jump. He will definitely remember this experience for the rest of his life.
