Unusual Valentines Day Gifts
Bohemian women are way too unique for roses and diamonds. I'm not saying that gifts of that nature will go unappreciated on Valentines Day, though. I'm saying it wouldn't hurt to be a little more creative! Let me take the guesswork out of shopping for your boho babe this Valentine's Day!
Chocolates.
Yes, you heard me. I said chocolates. But not those toothpaste filled bits in the cardboard hearts. That's lame, boring, and super original. Get her fine chocolates, gourmet, fair tradeJewelry.
What? Jewelry? How cliche! Not for a bohemian woman!
I'm not talking about a heart-shaped cubic zirconia thingy on a dainty gold chain. That most likely isn't her style. I'm talking a fabulous piece of ethnic jewelry
A Unique Plant.
Flowers are nice, but they shrivel and die and you'll end up pretty much throwing your money away. Get her something that'll last a lifetime... unless she's like me and can kill a plant by just looking at it. Consider something that matches her style and personality, like succulents
Antiques.
Bohemian women like rare and exquisite things and antiques are just that. Hit up your local flea markets and look for something that just screams, "Oh, this is SO her!". Need a little more guidance? Look for vases, mirrors, original paintings, globes, musical instruments, photographs, and cabinets.
Original Art.
Make it yourself if you can or get on Etsy and buy from an artist who could really use the support. Even better: buy form a local artist!
Fine Wine.
I don't know about you, but this bohemian chica would squeal with delight over a free box of wine from the supermarket... buuuuut, I'm cheap and weird. I don't think box-wine would be seen as a very romantic gift for most women on Valentines day. If your local wine or liquor stores don't have a decent wine selection, then check to see if there are any local wine makes or order online. Ordering online will give you the advantage of reading reviews before you buy!
An Experience.
A bohemian woman doesn't necessarily want presents. An awesome evening with you will do just fine! Plan a full day or an evening to do something incredibly unique that you two have never done before. Like maybe a picnic by a river, horseback riding, swing dancing, or a private dinner for two made by a real chef in your home. You can actually buy experiences like this from IfOnly.com! IfOnly is a marketplace for incredible experiences all over the globe, including private lessons, celebrity meet-and-greets, vacations, picnics, sporting events, and much more. Below is a little sample of the kind of packages available on IfOnly. If you have no intentions to buy, of if it's not avaible where you live, it will still serve as a great site to use for inspiration!
I hope my little guide helped!
Now, go knock her socks off!
