What a Gift! Five Unique and Unusual Gifts For Your Valentine
It's back again. St. Valentine's Day is almost upon us. It is time to find that once-in-a-lifetime gift.
What's hot this year? Plenty. In fact, your valentine may be swept away by the 5 unique gifts we will look at here.
It is the year of personalization. That means the gift you get is made especially for the person you give it to.
How is this possible? The idea is to get an item that bears the person's initials or name. Or, it may have the person's picture on it or zodiac sign.
It could even have the sound of the person's name as you will see below. Here are five gift ideas your valentine will love you for:
Name scrolls with names and their meanings. Now, here is a gift with real class. Everyone loves to hear and see their name. What better way than to have a painting made out of your true love's name. The scroll is a painting that features the first name of the person, the meaning of the name and its history. The scroll is ready for framing and to be admired.
An oil portrait of the person. Go to any art school and you are bound to find a few excellent portrait artists. Most would be happy to paint a portrait for a modest sum. The artist could paint from a live sitting or from a photograph.
You might even choose to have a portrait of you and your valentine together.
An identification bracelet. The front of the bracelet is engraved with the persons name. On the back is a small compartment containing contact information.
Identification anklets and necklaces are also popular. Joggers and cyclists particularly like ID anklets.
A song about your valentine. Songwriters are happy to get commissions to write personal songs. To keep costs down, hire someone from a local group whose music you like. The group will compose a song with your valentine's name and even record it for you.
Last, but not least, is a favorite of most valentines. It is...
A personal security vest. Now, this is a James Bond kind of gift. It may not have your valentine's name or picture on it, but it is just as personal. This vest can help keep your valentine safe and sound. It has night lights on the front and back. It has an emergency whistle, a defense spray and a noisemaker. It also has pockets for a cell phone, money and identification.
Some personalized gifts may take a couple of weeks delivery time. So if you are pressed for time, be sure to slip a note into your valentine's box of chocolates telling her or him that the real gift is still to come.
