Choose your own adventure with the Sprouts blog! What does your Valentine’s Day gift say about you? Which of these Valentine’s Day gifting go-tos is your OTP for your own partner? What do you think of this day that some people LOVE whilst others deride it as ‘Pink Halloween’? Do you go high-effort or low-stress? Big gift or date night together? Here’s our run down of the types of Valentine’s gifters by their gifting choices.
With the disclaimer that this is totally a bit of fun and no judgement on individual choices ❤️
If this is your go-to, it’s certainly a classic. Not too overboard, not forgetting entirely. It’s a bit of a treat and a nice card with your sincere feelings for your S/O. Maybe you’re writing a poem to pour your heart out in that card, or planning the perfect evening to spend with that fancy chocolate in front of a romcom… the possibilities in this classy gifting option are endless, and totally personalisable - without breaking the bank or breaking your head over what you buy.
This super-flexible gifting option can totally be done right to make it thoughtful, personal and, yes, romantic. So definitely make sure you do it right 😘
Let’s be honest, you totally forgot today was even coming up, again. That is, until someone mentioned it in the office, and now you know you absolutely have to pick up something on the way home for your partner. Lucky for you, Sprouts is open till 6! And what better option than a bouquet? You can even shout about the fact that this bouquet will last even longer as the dried flowers are preserved, they were grown here in Bristol and in season, so it’s got no air miles or anything!
Yes, the bouquet gifter does say classic, romantic gift, but let’s be honest, it is an easy last-minute option. Just hope you were paying attention to their favourite flower or colour scheme…
This one is a winner if you know your partner loves their ‘me time’. Maybe the biggest gift you can give this Valentine’s day is an evening where they can take a nice relaxing soak in the bath. Just make sure they know you’re not trying to tell them they smell… and who knows, you may even be able to share those bath salts yourself for a twinning fragrance. This is also the perfect self-love gift, so if you’re cherishing your own alone time this Valentine’s, why not treat yourself?
Gifting bath salts says thoughtful, caring and gives a choice between prep for cute date night and ‘sorry I’ll be back late but here’s something just for you’.
You want to go a bit out of the box but still stay on theme, so you’re gonna pick the right colour (pink, of course) and possibly something covered in hearts. You can go full Barbie-core, choose something quirky, or just get something you know they’ll like with a *touch * of the romantic.
Gifting something pink shows you’re still totally on theme, maybe putting a bit too much thought into this for a random day in February, and you definitely have a dedication to the V-Day bit.
Romance, schmomance, who cares about partners, let’s make this a fun day for the girls. If you’re spending your Valentine’s with your mates rather than any dates, you can still make it special! Why not write a cute card for the gal you most appreciate, or put up a pretty pink garland to mark the day with your housemates, besties or platonic life partner?
Galentines is giving strong independent woman who wants an excuse to not be sad on Valentine’s, and also maybe an excuse for a nice meal, a massive box of chocolates or a rom com, preferably with the besties.
Whether it’s Monica & Chandler in Friends or a seriously Pride & Prejudice vibe you’re trying to emulate, candlelight is a sure-fire way to create a romantic setting. Whether your aim is to get the perfect colour candle for your dinner table, an amazing smell to complement those bath bombs from Christmas, or one that says it all in the shape of a heart, we’re sure you can totally say it with a candle.
Gifting candles says cinema buff, perfect vibes and soft focus - just make sure you aren’t leaving lit candles unattended or that might ruin the mood, just slightly.
We don't mind if you're a thoughtful, last-minute or prolific gifter (or all three!), we just hope you find the perfect present this year. Whether you're celebrating love with your friends, your partner or even yourself, it's a great excuse to do something nice, have a little treat, and generally spread the love. So in that spirit: love yourself - and your gifting style - and have fun this Valentine's Day! 💗
