Every February 14, couples seek out the perfect gift to show their love and affection for that special someone. While the red rose has a strong reputation as being the traditional flower of love and romance, it is certainly not the only appropriate gift for the holiday. For many couples, finding a gift that falls outside the traditional bouquet of red roses can help demonstrate an additional level of thoughtfulness. At Nanz and Kraft, we have developed several alternate gift ideas that we believe would be absolutely perfect for demonstrating love this Valentine’s Day. Here are a few that every couple should try.

Hit the sweet tooth, but without the chocolate

People love receiving sweets on Valentine’s Day, but there are plenty of ways to give the gift of sugar without going with a generic box of chocolate. Consider getting some beautiful iced Valentine’s Day cookies. Cookies that have been shaped like hearts and iced with the colors of the holiday will be the perfect way to brighten the day of any recipient while also satisfying the sweet tooth. Their originality and creativity is sure to be appreciated as well.

Give the gift of flowers using non-traditional arrangements

Flowers remain one of the best gifts for the holiday, as they have been used throughout time to brighten people’s moods and the inside of the home. Since Valentine’s Day falls in the middle of winter, this can be particularly beneficial. Rather than going with the traditional red, consider getting a stunning arrangement that uses new colors, like those in Stargazer Lilies, green hydrangea, red orchids, and other beautiful flowers. The rich colors of the arrangement will look amazing and will be appreciated by any recipient.

Say ‘I Love You’ with a balloon bouquet

This idea is perfect for those who want to express their affection in a fun and unique way. Gathering together six balloons as though they were in an actual bouquet or arrangement can be a wonderful way to make an impression. The colors and expressions will fit the holiday and perfectly showcase how much thought you put into it!
