Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’re hoping to make someone or 2 (or 3?) feel special, then your mind has probably been racing with ideas. Sure, you can take the traditional route of getting a Valentine’s Day basket filled with wine, chocolate, and some other bits and bobs that capitalism has convinced us is symbolic of love. But maybe this is the year you take things a step further and spice up the variety. The world is literally your oyster — get your partner(s) gifts that have crossed borders and touched international airways.

Now deciding on the type of gift can be stressful because you might not be sure of how much to spend or what to get your person(s). If you don’t know exactly what to buy, gift cards are a perfect way to show someone that you’re still thinking of them. You can choose the amount that fits precisely into your budget, avoid the stress of erratic delivery times, and still show that you put a good amount of thought into what your lover might appreciate.

Here are some ideas of how you can use gift cards to cater to different personalities and interests this Valentine’s Day:

The Skincare Guru

Their forehead shines like Rihanna’s, and their skin is as smooth as porcelain. They’re always complaining about how hard it is to find a variety of quality skin care products in Lagos. A gift card from Sephora will make this person’s Day. You don’t even need to try and figure out which serum or moisturizer to get them. Just use Getcards to send this person a gift card and let them go wild!

The Artist

This person gets excited at the prospect of new paints and art supplies. The feel of high-grade oil paints sliding across the canvas sends them into a state of peace and tranquillity. It only makes sense that you bless your person with the gift of creativity by sending them a gift card from Michaels.

The Baby Girl/Boy

This person doesn’t like stress. They just want to relass and be taken kiaruff. They’re all about good vibes and chakras. We all know these two things are hard to find on the streets of Nigeria so, why not help your person curate their space into a sanctuary of peace, love, and harmony?

Snag an Amazon gift card from Getcards and use it to purchase them a few things. An oil diffuser w/ a set of essential oils, some candles, and a portable speaker (perhaps to stream the cute playlist you’re making them) are a great place to start.

The Gamer

This person won’t play games with your heart, but they love a good session of Call of Duty. They know that your feelings don’t deserve to be run over like an innocent bystander on the streets of Grand Theft Auto. Splurge a little and get this person a PS5. If it’s too expensive, you can buy them a PlayStation gift card — a small incentive for them to buy the system on their own.

Last last, they’ll know you tried your best!
