The 5 Senses Valentines Day Gift: Ideas for Him & Her!

Finding a Valentine's day gift for her or finding a Valentine's day gift for him can be such a struggle. It is an opportunity to show your significant other that you love them and are so glad they are in your life.  Depending on your level language this can vary which is why it makes this day such a challenge. 

I know there are a lot of cynics when it comes to Valentine's day. Like yes, you should be showing and telling your partner that you love them every day, but life gets busy, man. Sometimes you forget to ask how their day was, or even give them a kiss goodnight. Do not beat yourself up over that. The main goal for Valentine's day is to just let your significant other know you love them. That's it. 

I for one, feel like I specialize in Valentine's day. It allows me to give a sappy and pun-filled gift without any repercussions. February is my month to thrive.

This gift idea I'm about to share with you can also help make finding a Galentine's Day gift easer too! 

It's called the "Loving you makes sense" gift.

Some of you may have seen where I'm going with this. This gift will make you use all five of your senses.  Ahhhhh! Lightbulb.

The concept of a “five senses gift” is to buy or create gifts around the senses of the human body.

This is a great idea because it doesn’t matter if you are taking the cheap route or want to go all out. There are items that you can include for all budgets in each of these categories. I think one year I did this I bought everything from the dollar store. A little goes a long way.

You can wrap them all in one box or individually. I've seen it done a couple different ways. 

This was my set up last year...

Here are some samples I've found on Pinterest if you need some Pinspiration. 

Contents of the gift

You're probably thinking, Jordan, I had a hard enough time coming up with one gift, and now you want me to come up with five? I know. I know. At least you have your categories narrowed down though! And a lot of them overlap! 

Have no Cupid fear though, I wouldn't just leave you with this awesome idea and no ideas for the contents that go inside. I've broken down my ideas into the five senses. Feel free to peruse and let your imagination flow!
