Top Tips for Buying a Romantic Gift for Your Partner
Do you have a special someone you want to buy a romantic gift for? It could be because a birthday is around the corner and you want to surprise your partner with a unique gift. You might want to get them something special because you’ve got a milestone anniversary coming up. On the other hand, you might simply want to buy something that shows how much you care. Whatever the reason, finding the perfect gift can sometimes be a challenge. There are the usual red roses and chocolates, but somehow these just don’t impress anymore. Here are some tips to make your next romantic gift a memorable one.
What Would They Prefer?
To answer this question, you’ll need to dig deep and cast your own thoughts aside. While you might like to see your partner wearing sapphires and diamonds, they might prefer to receive something a little more practical. If your relationship is a longstanding one, you will have a very good idea of what will make them smile. If it’s coming up on your wedding anniversary, there are many intimate vow renewal ideas that you could go for. However, if you’ve just started dating, you might have a problem with this decision.
Would They Like Some Unexpected?
One way to get over the problem of their preferences is to ask them outright what they’d prefer. However, if you want to push the boat out and make it a memorable gift, then you’re going to need to do something unexpected. Perhaps you could look at buying romantic pieces from Chloé, a French luxury fashion house that was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion. The outfits and accessories are bohemian-inspired and created using the best fabrics. It will certainly be a surprise if they’re expecting chocolates!
Don’t Give What’s Already Been Given
There are several romantic gifts which feature at the top of many people’s lists. Chocolates and flowers are the two most obvious, but there’s also jewelry and lingerie. To show someone that you really care and have thought long and hard about their gift, you need to pick a gift that you’ve not given before. Save those gifts for the times you just want to express your love for them, rather than celebrate a special occasion.If you’ve used up all your good gift ideas, provide an experience instead. A super sexy yet sophisticated mini break to any of the mayfair hotels
is sure to go down a treat. Nearly everyone loves a mini break.
The Gift of an Experience
Gifting an experience is becoming a very popular alternative, for those looking to spend money on something other than material things. It’s certainly a great way of creating new memories and can be a gift you get to enjoy together. A weekend city break in one of the many romantic cities across the US would be one example. Other options include:
• Race car driving
• Flying lessons
• Scenic Cruises
• Spa weekends
• Champagne brunch
• Romantic dinner cruise
• Sunset Sail
Whatever you decide to do, as long as you put some thought into the decision, it’s sure to be a success. If there’s anyone who should know what your partner would like, it’s got to be you. Trust in your instincts and pick a gift that expresses your love for them. Give yourself plenty of time to come to the right decision and make sure you explore all the options.

I have never really thought about this, my husband is not a romantic person at all. We usually just give each other what we want or need at the time. These are some wonderful suggestions though, I would love to be able to do something outdoors with him. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
