5 Unique Gifts That Say “I Love You” This Valentine’s Day
“True love is singing karaoke ‘Under Pressure’ and letting the other person sing the Freddie Mercury part.” — Mindy Kaling
Sharing, they say, is caring. So go ahead and let your tweetheart know just much you love ’em in a way that’ll make them swoon head over heels.
- Surprise ’em with dinner (or cook together) — Sakara Life and Munchery will deliver just about everything you need to make a surprise dinner at home for your Valentine. Or cook the celebratory feast together with wine and music, of course.
- Slow Dance at Home — Nothing beats, pun intended, the chance to dance in each other’s’ arms. Get a great portable bluetooth speaker, like the Bose Soundlink III or the dual-room sound system from Sonos, to make the playlist you pick from Spotify or the one you create on your own sound even better than if you were to play it from just your cell phone.
- Say It with Sonnets — How do you love thine? Let them know with a poem. Writing your own sonnets is easy with a fillable book co-authored by none other than Shakespeare himself. Recite your original renditions to your sweetheart by candlelight.
- Play Tourist In Your Own City — Take a day to play tourist in your own city together. Begin with brunch, then wander streets to window shop, pop into a local cafe you haven’t tried yet, and hit up a museum or two with the help of a City Pass. If there’s no City Pass available where you live, enlist Google’s help to find exhibits and discounts for local museums or galleries that you have yet to visit.
- Take a Class Together — From the shimmy kind of salsa to the, well, chips-and-salsa salsa, learn something new together whether it’s dancing, cooking or even crafts. Explore Sur La Table’s event calendar for a cooking class near you, find a dance studio in your city, or consult Craftsy for online learning opportunities.
