Every year, well after Christmas and still a ways from Easter, there is a holiday fit into the whole scheme of things that indicates the need to purchase a few items. It is the holiday of love and everyone makes a point to celebrate it. I have found that even people who feel it is a useless holiday will still have a small celebration because you can’t NOT celebrate love. Right?
I have never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day but I have celebrated my share of them, simply because it was expected of me. I find now since I had children that I celebrate it a bit more and I make a big deal of giving my children, and oh yeah, my husband, a little gift on Valentine’s morning. Nothing big but a little reminder that I love them.
For many people, Valentine’s Day gifts are just that, nothing big but a reminder of love nonetheless. For that reason, I have compiled a list of small gifts that are filled with tons of love and romance. And the best thing about this list is that it is perfect for any gardener on your list.
Gift #1: Sew the Seeds of Love
Although not every gardener likes to cultivate seeds, this is still an excellent gift that will delight anyone. What you need to do is get a few seed packets, maybe containing a favorite flower, and simply slip it into a cardholder. It looks much better if you are crafty with cardstock but if you aren’t, simply pick up a CD gift box or a gift card gift box. Once you have that, decorate it with a favorite poem or a simple saying that says, “My love continues to grow with each year.”
Gift # 2: Flowers are Forever
Okay, maybe they aren’t forever, exactly, but what is wrong with going with the old standby on Valentine’s Day. If you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it; however, I would recommend that you up the ante just a bit with flowers. Instead of picking up a dozen red roses, why not pick up some flowering plants that can be transplanted into the ground come spring. If it is much too cold to pick up flowers, purchase a gift card, or make your own, for a shopping spree at a favorite greenhouse once the weather warms up.
Gift #3: Grow together
Now this is similar to the seeds and in a way it is like giving flowers but why not give a seed starter kit. This is great for Valentine’s day since many seeds will need to be started in February or March. Add a nice bow to the kit and maybe a note that says, “May our love continue to grow.”
Gift #4: Pampered in a Tea Garden
Another great gift idea is to simply pick up a garden pot and fill it with little goodies such as hand lotions, ornaments, and candy…don’t forget the candy. When your spouse is finished with all the stuff inside the pot, she can use the pot itself for a beautiful plant in the summer. Of course, it might be a good idea to include the plant as well.
Gift #5: Thoughtful Touches
The last gift idea that I would recommend is to simply listen to your significant other. I’m sure that once you are done listening, you could come up with a few items that are a must-have for a garden. Once you have that little tidbit of information, why not go out and purchase the item for Valentine’s Day. Trust me, she will be overjoyed that you remembered what she wanted that it will be the best Valentine’s Day gift ever.
