Valentine’s Day: Gift Ideas for Each Relationship Stage

Valentine’s Day, a.k.a. the day of relationship tests, is upon us! Are you ready?

Trying to find the perfect gift can be stressful, especially if you don’t know what’s appropriate for the “level” you and your S.O. (significant other) are at.

Before you have a breakdown and stress eat the fancy chocolates that were your original gift idea, read these tips below!


THE BABY COUPLE (1-3 months)

Just started seeing each other and afraid of looking too desperate or apathetic this Valentine’s Day? No worries! You and your significant other can take a fun art class together (like pottery!) or enjoy a laidback home-cooked meal, no pressure! Throw in some cheesy roses from your local florist and your relationship is well on its way!
 
THE FACEBOOK OFFICIAL COUPLE (3-6 months)

Your Instagram followers and Facebook friends get it - you two are in a relationship. Thankfully for you, Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to shamelessly ogle and love each other! Celebrate by getting your significant other something that shows you really know them and their likes. Give them a book you think they’d enjoy (for my fellow bookworms) or throw it back and make a mixtape.  Include a personal note complete with inside jokes and corny nicknames. They’ll love it and you for being so thoughtful!

THE “HE/SHE IS MY PLUS ONE AT WEDDINGS” COUPLE (6-12 months)

Hey, almost a year without any (serious) casualties. Congratulations! Don’t want to be like every other couple and celebrate with the overdone dinner and a movie?  Consider going out to a sporting event, concert, or comedy show together. You’ll have a blast that’s guaranteed to be a fun memory to look back on!

THE SUPERCOUPLE (1 year)

After the one-year mark, it’s a pretty invincible feeling. Feel free to spoil your loved one with a nice perfume or cologne set, or jewelry specifically for the ladies. They’re reliable and thoughtful gifts that all lovebirds adore! 

THE COZY COUPLE (2+ years)

So you two are a few years in and it feels like you’ve truly found the definition of a best friend and life partner. Comfort is great, but reignite the spark and do something spontaneous and fun this Valentine’s Day! Go on a small trip, rent a cabin, check something crazy off of your bucket lists! No matter what it is, just get out there and remind yourselves how much you love each other.
