One of the holidays is approaching, which has gained popularity in our country, despite its Catholic origins. This is Valentine's Day, or as it is commonly called, the day of all lovers.
Most people probably know the history of this holiday. According to the classical version, during the time of the Roman Emperor Claudius II, soldiers were forbidden to marry, since women distracted them from military affairs. However, there was a priest named Valentin, who, contrary to the emperor’s decree, still decided to marry the soldiers. For which he was executed on February 14th. Therefore, on this day a holiday is celebrated in his honor.
There is also another version according to which Valentine healed people with the help of an unknown at that time, and therefore devilish, power. For which he was imprisoned and subsequently executed.
The guard of the prison where the prisoner was kept, having learned about his miraculous powers, asked to heal his blind daughter. Valentin healed her, and having regained her sight, the girl fell in love with him. However, they were not destined to be together, since Valentin was to be executed on February 14. The day before, he wrote her a beautiful love letter, which she read only after his death.
It is believed that this is what subsequently served as the beginning for the creation of “Valentines” - letters with a declaration of love. And also there was a reason to give your loved one or beloved some kind of gift.
In general, this holiday can be called a kind of rehearsal before March 8, since most often it is the male part of the population who strives to congratulate their beloved ladies.
It’s true that girls don’t lag behind guys either. And the most creative people make valentine hearts and write sweet messages.
And also everyone gives each other pleasant little things and many, many hearts.
So what should you give your beloved and tender friends for the holiday?
The simplest and most classic option is a Valentine card. A heart with a message written on it will undoubtedly be a pleasant sign of attention. Even if you buy it in a store and don’t make it yourself. And if you want to make it yourself, then...
If your girlfriend loves sweets (although who doesn’t), then a box of chocolates will be just a wonderful present. Also, classic version are flowers and soft toys. Especially if all this is presented with words of love.
Cosmetic gifts are also popular gifts. These are lipstick, perfume, and much, much more. Which is never unnecessary or superfluous for a girl.
But all this should be purchased when you know well about your girlfriend’s taste. And if in doubt, it is better to buy a certificate from the appropriate department. And then the girl herself will acquire everything she needs. And it is not necessary that this certificate cost a lot of money. They are available for both 300 and 500 rubles. Don't think this is too little. Believe me, the girl will find the right thing for herself even for the money.
You can also consider decorations. Any jewelry or inexpensive silver items will do. And if funds allow, then you can consider something more expensive.
If you keep up with the times, then a smartphone or a certificate to a clothing or shoe store would be a good gift.
By the way, about the boutique. For glamorous people, clothes are an ideal gift, the main thing is not to miscalculate the size. But again, this is if you and your girlfriend already have a long enough relationship. And you know her preferences and taste well. If not, then again a certificate will help out. Or going to the store together.
Of course, if you and the girl are just friends, then there is no need to give expensive jewelry and clothes. The present should not oblige anyone to anything.
If your girlfriend loves a pet and often talks about it, then you can surprise her and buy her such a pet. But under no circumstances should this be done if this is your personal initiative. You don’t know how she will react to this, and whether such a “live” gift will become a burden for her.
In general, there are many options, the main thing is to show your imagination. It is important to understand who the girl you want to pay attention to is just a friend, or a lover whom you plan to marry.
So let's take a look at the different options:
- Your girlfriend is just a friend.
A simple and inexpensive gift will do. A regular Valentine's card, a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers will be best received. Or something completely insignificant, but necessary for any representative of the fair sex. It will not be so much a present as just a sign of attention.
- You are in a relationship, but just recently.
If you have just started to develop a relationship, then you can add lipstick, perfume and other feminine “things” to the same options. Especially if you have an idea about her preferences in this area. Or again, give preference to a certificate.
- You are planning to legalize your relationship.
Here the best gift would be a marriage proposal. It would be nice if you also prepared a ring in a beautiful package for this occasion.
- You are a married couple.
Anything from regular valentines to dinner at a restaurant is suitable here. It all depends on your preferences and capabilities.

Valentine's Day is one of the most popular holidays in the world. On this day, people traditionally give gifts to loved ones and confess their feelings. Usually girls are more romantic than guys and therefore begin to prepare for February 14th in advance, trying to choose the best gift. But the more effort and worry, the more difficult it can be to decide. We will try to make the task easier and suggest what to give a guy for Valentine's Day in order to definitely amaze and delight him.
How to choose the right gift for February 14th for a guy
Traditionally, on this holiday they give pleasant and not too expensive gifts. If you're dating recently, you can get by with just a simple Valentine's card. If you want to choose a really good and necessary gift, you will have to carefully study the tastes and wishes of your loved one. All useful gifts can be divided into several categories:
- For a hobby. You probably know what your loved one's hobbies are. Now we need to take a closer look at his hobby, ask a little to understand what will be useful to him. Depending on the interests of your loved one, he may need sports or travel equipment, information or fiction, various paraphernalia and useful little things.
- For professional activities. Although such gifts are usually classified as useful and not romantic, it is quite possible to come up with something sincere. For example, a driver might need a back pillow with a nice inscription or embroidery. If your loved one takes lunch to work, he will love a lunchbox that will always remind you of your care. The ever-busy worker will benefit from a thermal mug with a nice engraving that keeps his drink warm while he runs errands.
- Pleasant trifles. These are small and often unnoticeable things that make our lives more comfortable - diaries, keychains, document covers, covers for gadgets, scarves and flash drives.
- Modern digital devices and accessories for them. It’s probably not worth giving your loved one a new smartphone or DVR for such a not very important occasion. But a charger with a splitter or a solar battery, a USB hub, an adapter for different types of sockets, a keyboard for a tablet and other useful devices will be an excellent present.
- Traditional gifts. These are all those cute little things that we associate with Valentine's Day - Valentine's cards, keychains and heart-shaped candies, balloons and Chinese lanterns and everything that allows you to create a festive atmosphere.
Whatever gift you choose, remember that Valentine's Day is the most romantic holiday of the year. Therefore, your congratulations should be appropriate. Any gift must be beautifully packaged and presented with best wishes and recognition.

How to choose a Valentine's Day gift based on the recipient's personality
If you don’t know what to give your guy and don’t understand his hobbies well, try to choose a gift based on his character. The main personality traits are usually striking at the first meeting, so it will not be very difficult to determine who is really in front of you:
- Home boy. If your chosen one does not like noisy parties and prefers to spend time at home or walking with his beloved, he will like it good book, a CD of your favorite artist or a selection of films with your favorite actor. To make the gift appropriate for the holiday, you can hide a bookmark with your photo in a book or complement the gift with a romantic card.
- Stylish handsome man. If your boyfriend great importance gives its own appearance, he will like an unusual and expensive accessory, for example, a stylish umbrella in the shape of a sword or a belt with a chic buckle. You can also invite him to go to the spa together. You will have great fun with health and beauty benefits.
- Reckless slob. If your lover prefers to live a fun and easy life, without thinking about tomorrow, you can try to hint to him that it’s time to grow up and become more responsible. Give your favorite idiot a piggy bank or a beautiful wallet for future earnings. If you are worried that such a hint will offend him, choose something fun, for example, you can hide small love notes in balloons and give them in a larger bright bunch.
- Romantic. If your boyfriend is sensitive and has a delicate nature, he will love any traditional romantic gift. Organize a candlelit dinner or invite him to a Viennese waltz master class. Don't forget about a beautiful dress, valentines and confessions.
- Extreme lover. If your loved one is an active guy who loves extreme adventures, invite him to fly in a hot air balloon or two-seater plane, ride a snowmobile or ATV, or test his nerves in any other adventure. A good option is a romantic prank that starts scary and ends with a meeting with your beloved.
- Business man. A man who constantly thinks about work and rarely allows himself to relax needs to be given real rest. Invite him to a couples massage, horseback riding, sauna or any other pleasant place. Try to create a relaxing environment so that your loved one completely forgets about business.
If you are not sure that you can choose the right gift based on your character, try to better study your loved one’s hobbies. A gift chosen based on a hobby is one of the best options.
Inexpensive gifts for a guy for Valentine's Day
Before you start choosing a gift, you need to decide how much money you are willing to spend on it. If your financial capabilities do not allow you to purchase a luxurious gift, do not be discouraged. It is quite possible to choose a pleasant and budget gift. The best and most affordable options:
- Love T-shirt. Order an original design or inscription printed on a simple T-shirt and receive an inexpensive and unique gift.
- Big Valentine. You can buy it in any souvenir shop before the holiday. A huge postcard looks cool and will be affordable for you.
- Interesting underwear. The gift is hackneyed and banal, but does not lose popularity. Panties with a heart or with a funny inscription are a classic of the genre.
- Mousepad. Choose something cute and suitable for the guy's style. This way he will remember you every time he works with his PC.
- Hand warmer. Since Valentine's Day falls in mid-February, this gift will come in very handy. It’s good if you can find a heart-shaped heating pad. Then you can say that your love will warm the guy’s hands.
If you have no money at all, but really want to please your loved one, prepare a private dance for him. Any man will love this gift, and preparation will be great fun for you. After all, you will have to practice well for master classes on the Internet, think through the music and outfit, and be sure to organize everything correctly.
What gifts can you make with your own hands?
In most cases, doing something yourself is not recommended, since the labor expended and the result obtained are often incommensurable. If you are not confident in your own skills, you can be very disappointed in your own present and unpleasantly surprise the guy. But there are several things that even novice needlewomen can do:
- Composition of sweets. If your boyfriend has a sweet tooth and doesn’t hide it, he will definitely like a heart made of sweets. The base can be made of cardboard or polystyrene foam, and the candies can simply be glued on.
- Cake in the shape of a heart. You can even make it from store-bought cakes coated with sour cream. The main thing is to decorate the top with whipped cream and red marmalade.
- Fulfillment of desires. Your loved one's wishes can be written in the form of a checkbook or written on small hearts and hidden in a jar. Naturally, after the desire is named, it will have to be fulfilled.
If your loved one is a true romantic, come up with a simple confession poem or even a song for him. He will be delighted with such an inexpensive but sincere present.
