Five great last minute Valentines Day Gifts that won’t disappoint your love
Tomorrow is Valentines Day and as every year it comes as a big surprise to many men. But don’t you worry guys, I got your back. Here’s my list of five thoughtful and great Valentines Gifts that you can still get in time and will most certainly make your loved one happy.
Option 1 – Staycation: Spend a night at a nice hotel in your city and round off the holiday in your own town experience with a delicious breakfast and a romantic walk in the morning
Great hotels in Vienna include Hotel Daniel , 25hours Hotel at Museumsquartier as well as the Grand Ferdinand luxury boutique hotel at Schubertring.
Option 2 – Couple-Photoshoot: Create some happy and lasting couple-moments with a local street photographer, who is able to provide more than the average staged studio couple pics.
In Vienna I can warmly recommend my buddy Maximilian Salzer who I’ve been working with on many occasions including couple shoots (see here) as well as blog photos (see here). Max currently offers a Valentines Day Package including an one hour photoshooting at a location of your choice in or around Vienna plus seven edited digital pictures and five 13x18cm prints of your choice at a rate of EUR 199.
Option 3 – Surprise your love with a romantic self-made Couple Dinner at home and try to fulfill her culinary desires with your impressive cooking skills.
This is a great and cost-saving gift idea, that gives you the chance to spend some quality time together and show your missus you made an effort. And boys: No delivery or instant meals! This is Valentines Day not Footy night with the lads.
Option 4 – Show your missus how much you love her curves with some sexy lingerie.
Lingerie is not as witty as personal or self made gifts but it does a great job. It’s easy to get, usually not ridiculously expensive and at the end of the day, if you pick something the lady feels great in, your chances to get an instant return on your investment are rather high. So pick wisely guys! Check out Eden Garments for beautiful lingerie handmade in Vienna. If these amazing pieces exceed your budget head over to Intimissimi they usually have some good, affordable stuff in store.
Option 5 – Women love flowers. So if all else fails, stick with the all time classic and get your missus a pretty bouquet and a box of her favorite chocolate.
It might be clever to get the flowers tonight, since you most likely won’t be the only one who has the idea to get a bouquet on Valentines Day. Find a list of Vienna’s most beautiful flower shops HERE.
