Valentine’s Day gifts can be tricky to navigate no matter what relationship phase you’re in, but this rings especially true if you’re shopping for someone new or someone notorious for already having everything.
One of the most difficult parts about buying Valentine’s Day gifts isn’t even shopping for the individual person — it’s shopping for the relationship stage. Aka, you don’t want to make it seem like your coupleship is more or less serious than it actually is. You also don’t want to leave your partner feeling like you didn’t put in enough thought on the day that’s supposed to be the epitome of romance.
If you’re married, you probably know your partner well enough to surprise them with something a little more luxe that you know they’ll love. Even so, new gift ideas are always welcome, especially if you’ve been together for a quite a while. If you’re dating, chances are you’re starting to become fairly aware of what your partner likes or dislikes, and maybe you can even think of a surprise that would leave them absolutely delighted. That said, if you’re in a new relationship, it can be hard to know what kind of gift to give that lives
