Whether you’re shopping around for a birthday or an anniversary, or you’re simply fancy treating your partner to a gift, you may well be familiar with the feeling of drawing a mental blank where the actual gift is concerned. You may have romantic notions of unveiling a present on the side of a mountain at sunset, but what’s going to be under the wrapping paper? For anyone struggling for inspiration, here are some of the best gift ideas for those who’re out to treat their significant other to something special, whatever the reason.

Clothing and Accessories

You know your partner as well as anybody, and you’ll know their style, their tastes and what’s missing in their wardrobe. Men might find clothing harder to buy for women, given the near-infinite options out there on the internet, but checking your partner’s size and the general colors they seem to enjoy wearing is a good place to start. Another place to start is searching for a curvy plus size boutique online and browsing clothing items your significant other may not have seen in stores!

Courses or Classes

As a couple, you’ll likely have had conversations about your hopes and dreams, aspirations and expectations. You’ll know that your partner wants to learn a language one day, or get into photography, life drawing, scuba diving or star-gazing. What better way to treat them than to buy them a course in their aspirational passion, then, accompanying them to evening classes or weekend courses to set you up with a new hobby or skill that’ll help your relationship progress to the next level. Investment in your partner in gifts such as these will really serve to show you listen and care about their objectives in life.

Gift Assortments

What’s better than getting a gift for your significant other? Getting an assortment of gifts, of course - and with a delightful array of anniversary gift box selections out there, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to multi-gift giving. Select your contents, be they sweet treats or flowers, and surprise your partner by serving them an attractively-boxed and appealingly-packed bundle of love that shows how much you care - include a personalized message to give it that extra individual touch.

Jewelry

 We all know diamonds are a girl's best friend and you can't go wrong with a new piece of jewelry. But it doesn't always have to be expensive or even diamonds for that matter. You know your wife or girlfriend better than anyone and you know what they're into. Maybe they aren't the classic white diamond type and prefer colored stones or different metals. There are so many options when buying jewelry that you can find just about anything to match her style. Not sure where to start? Look at her current jewelry and notice the general theme. Is it mostly yellow gold? Colored stones? Silver? It's a good idea to figure out a way to drop the question in conversation as well. Ask her what kind of stuff she likes if you can do it without getting caught. Then surprise her with something beautiful that she'll hold onto forever.

Home-Made Items

If time is money, then spending part of your week making a gift for your significant other is just as meaningful as purchasing something for them. Even a home-made card can tug at swelling heartstrings, so don’t be put off by your perceived lack of creative ingenuity. If you fancy being a little more ambitious, why not start painting your partner in secret, or make them a jewelry box or some other useful item that they’ll treasure and appreciate for the rest of their life. It truly shows you care to dedicate your time to such a project, so bear this in mind when it comes to birthdays and anniversaries.

Selecting the right gift can be a tricky business, which is why we’ve outlined four special options for you here - all guaranteed to show just how much you care.
