How To Pick a Perfect Gift?

When picking a gift for that special someone it's important to really think about a few things; think about your partner's love language, their hobbies and what they enjoy. That could be trying out the latest cool gadget or going on an adventure challenge.

Some people favour gifts, others physical touch and others love to go out and have fun and spend the special day on an adventure.

Each of us have unique romantic relationships, and it's important to customise these gift ideas as a constant reminder of your love.

 The Most Romantic Gifts

1. A bouquet of flowers

Perhaps you’re celebrating a special wedding anniversary, or marking a milestone in your relationship. A bouquet of flowers is just one example of a romantic birthday present which is sure to put a smile on their face.

A rose tends to be the most romantic of blooms, however there are lots of other varieties you could choose from, and range in price depending on what your budget is.

2. A heart-shaped cake

A romantic gift with a difference, a heart-shaped cake makes a super special treat for any occasion. Add a touch of romance to dessert with a cake made from rich chocolates or even strawberries. 

Go one step further and shun a shop bought cake and make the cake yourself! Anything which is handmade always goes down well especially if your partner has a sweet tooth, and you can even decorate it with their favourite chocolate or sweets to make it personalised. Choose some cute decorations such as heart shaped sprinkles to complete the look.

If you're feeling brave, you can add a 'sweet' message in icing to really add that personal touch.

Ideal for any occasion, including birthdays or the holiday season, a heart shaped cake is sure to highlight the love you share. You could even hand deliver the cake to show just how much you care!

3. Dinner at a restaurant

Does your loved one have a favourite restaurant? Perhaps they love the finer things in life or enjoy trying new foods. If so, dinner at a restaurant could be the perfect gift for a special occasion.

Rather than spending hours shopping for a standard gift, create memories together during an experience you can both enjoy. Pick the most romantic restaurant in town to have your couple’s date - the romance is bound to start flowing!

4. Candlelight dinner with wine and chocolate

Gifts don’t have to be an item - sometimes the best gifts are experiences which can be cherished forever. Don your chefs hat and create an experience just for the two of you with a homemade cozy night, candle lit date night with wine and chocolate. The perfect treat for any couple.

Search for their favourite ingredients in the shop and add some fancy additions to your shopping basket to create a completely personalised experience. 

5. Strawberries dipped in white chocolate or dark chocolate 

Sometimes the best ideas are the most simple! Chocolate and strawberries are the perfect romantic combination. If you’re on a budget, you can keep the price low and save money, but still create a lasting impression on your loved one. It's not all about spending lots of money on jewellery or a spa trip. A romantic gift should be focused on celebrating your love. It really is the best experience!

6. Romantic movie night on the couch with popcorn and candy

Another option if you’re looking to save money, spend a evening alone and have a night on the sofa with some of your favourite treats and goodies. Search through the categories on your movie streaming service account and select a move which you both enjoy.

Snuggle up, perhaps open a bottle of wine, or bubbly and settle in for a relaxing evening. Yet another gift which you can make completely intimate and special, without breaking the bank!

7. Romantic hampers are the perfect gift

We may be biased but at the Awesome Hamper Company, we believe that a special hamper or basket is the perfect romantic gift. Filled with a range of goodies, a hamper, basket or box can be completely personalised to include your partner’s favourite things.

Whatever the occasion, these romantic gifts are sure to go down a treat, particularly if you hand deliver the present yourself!

Maybe your partner would prefer something a little more pamper related? For some pamper related ideas check out our luxury pamper hampers where you can find bath bombs, massage oil, soy candle and other things that'll give your other half all they need to have a spa day.

These are also great for a long distance relationship, as they can be delivered straight to their door and still have a custom message to give it that personal touch and show your love story.

8. Local Romantic Gifts

When thinking about gifts for your significant other, take into account some of the local businesses, a local shop or a local spa which could be the perfect way to treat someone. Romantic gifts from your local area are not only thoughtful, you’re also supporting your local area here in the UK.

You may even find some places have exclusive offers available or there offer a personalised approach. 

Think about what the recipient loves, and try to find something in your local vicinity that floats their boat. It could even be a special experience that you can enjoy together, such as a picnic in the local park or even an escape room for the more adventurous!

2.A Photo Book

It can be hard looking back and remembering all of the amazing times you've had together, especially if you've been having fun ever since your first date! So a photo book is the perfect gift.

You can pick your favourite photos, you could even do one for every year to make it extra special.
