For many, COVID can seem like an impediment to romance and an obstacle to relational growth. However, with the right mindset, it can actually be the opposite. COVID is even more of a reason to go all out with creative and memorable expressions of love and appreciation.
You can go old-school and stand outside their window with a boombox and their favorite song. You can turn to nature and take them on a brisk hike with their favorite snack, or you can even buy them a thoughtful gift. It doesn’t even have to be expensive. Remember, thoughtfulness is of more value than money.
Here are a few memorable COVID gift ideas.
1. Mug
Everyone loves a good mug. People are drinking more coffee and tea than ever, so a mug is definitely a gift that won’t be neglected. When it comes to picking a mug for your significant other, think about the context of your relationship.
What’s a dream they’ve expressed in conversation or an inside joke you that gets you both every time. Get a mug that builds on that moment to make it even more meaningful.
2. Candle or Scents
Most of us now spend most of our time at home. That means our candles, diffusers and scented wall plug-ins have been working overtime and we probably need new ones.
Send your loved-one a candle, essential oil scent or plug-in that reminds them of a trip you’ve taken together or somewhere you’ve been wanting to go (but couldn’t, possibly because of shutdown mandates).
3. Personalized Photo
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well during times of COVID, it’s probably worth up to a trillion. How often do you find yourself looking back at photos from old events that you enjoyed while visually reliving the experience? With a personalized photo, your significant other can relive that day over and over again.
4. Chocolate or Fancy Snack
Who doesn’t love chocolate? Believe or not, there is always one, but just one. Gift your loved-one a delightful box of chocolates, one of the most classic ways to say, “I love you,” or a gourmet selection of one of their favorite treats. It’s even more impressive when its wrapped in a pretty box!
5. Personalized Plant
If you’re anywhere on social media, you’ve heard of the new trend of young adults becoming “plant parents.” People are finding joy in adopting and sustaining plants and love giving parent-like milestone updates on social media. It’s loads of fun and can actually help improve the quality of air in your home, great for people cooped inside.
You can make your significant other a plant parent by starting out with the small, and hard to destroy succulent. What’s even better is if you select a plant vase with a sweet message on it like “Life would succ without you.”
These are just a few simple ways you can woo your loved-one during times of shutdown and contribute even more thoughtfully to your budding romance.
Wishing You a Happy & Healthy Relationship,
