Love Language Gift Guide For Valentine's Day
There’s something to be said for utilizing love languages around Valentine’s Day to help you show love to your favorite people. If you’re not familiar with the concept of love languages, it suggests that each person has preferred ways of giving and receiving love. You can take a test to determine which category of love language you fall under here.
I highly recommend having the people closest to you take the test too. Knowing how people prefer to receive love is so helpful when you want to show them that you care.
Here are some ideas on how to celebrate your loved ones this Valentine’s Day:
Silk Pillowcase | Checkerboard Rug | Drawer Organizers | Cleaning Storage | Little Book of Love Poems | Shower Love Notes | Candle | Evil Eye Clutch | Acrylic Connect Four | Pie Maker
Words of Affirmation
Create a daily mantra for your valentine. This is a few short sentences to remind them how great they are! Title it “Sally’s Morning Mantra” and they can repeat it to themselves daily. This is a nice reminder that even if they’re not feeling super sparkly, you see them as such.
Physical Touch
Is it too cliche to book them a massage or spa day? You could make a fun coupon book that says silly things like “I will hold your hand every night while we watch TV for 30 days straight.” Talk about commitment!
Receiving Gifts
I say always buy a gift for special occasions that someone wouldn’t buy themselves. This could be the largest version of their favorite candle or the fanciest version of their favorite board game. It doesn’t have to be groundbreaking but something you know they’ll love!
Quality Time
Plan a thoughtful date. It doesn’t need to be fancy or over-the-top. It’s the time you put into planning and time spent together that matter most. Nothing’s worse to someone who values quality time than a cookie-cutter date that you didn’t put any thought into.
Acts of Service
Who doesn’t love when someone does them a favor? Offer to do their least favorite chore for a week, wash their car, pick up their favorite coffee in the morning, basically anything that makes their life easier!
Knowing your own love language will help you in connecting to others. We often give love the way we receive it when first meeting someone as a way to show them how we receive love. Isn’t that funny?
For me, quality time is my #1 way to receive love. What about you?
I hope this gives you a few ideas of how to celebrate the people you love on February 14th!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
