1. Words of Affirmation

“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic.” - Albus Dumbledore (J.K Rowling)

Words are powerful so why not make your way into someone’s heart by simply telling them how much they mean to you? There are several sweet Valentine’s day gift ideas through which you can express your thoughts in words:

Love Note Jar

Why not create a magical collection of love in a jar by writing cards and heartfelt notes with compliments or stories of your favourite moments? Make sure to add some fun decorations to the jar for that aesthetic appeal!

Fun Tip: Designate a paper colour for each type of statement to increase the excitement and make it look more appealing!



Personalised Photo with Notes

What’s better than writing your feelings on the back of a wonderful memory you share? Just grab an instant camera or printer, write your thoughts on the back of the picture and voila! There you have it, a memorable piece both, visually and emotionally.



Music Album or Playlist

Not the best at writing on your own or expressing your thoughts? Try gifting your partner a music album or a playlist that best describes how they make you feel. Let the song speak for you!
