With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, couples are rushing to search for the perfect gift for their partner. If you’re in a lesbian relationship you know that just as much as you want the perfect gift, so does she. Homosexual presents are not that different from heterosexual presents. No matter what, the gift should count for something. You can go traditional with chocolate, jewelry, flowers; or you can try something new.
First, you have to know what your partner likes and what she is interested in. If you have been in the same relationship for a long period of time, then this part shouldn’t be that hard for you. However, if you have just lit the spark in this newfound love, it’s never too early or late to find out what her interests are.
But how do you do that? Observe, observe, observe. Daily habits say a lot about her preferences. Find the one thing she is so passionate about, that her eyes glow when she speaks of it. If it’s music, get her some concert tickets. Theatre? Tickets to a play (her favorite one if possible), etc.
Always remember even though you may want to impress your lady, you don’t want to break the bank if you don’t have to. Don’t take a loan out for the perfect gift! It’s the thought that counts. Don’t be cheap and just throw something together at the last minute, either. Jewelry can be reasonably priced with some careful research.
Keep everything spontaneous, you want to keep her on her toes so she doesn’t get bored of it. The relationship is all about love. Don’t worry about being an emotional person around her. Make a t-shirt with your faces printed on it and wear it together, just for the heck of it.
Another fabulous idea is to take her to a memorable location. Perhaps where you had your first kiss, maybe where you first became an ‘official’ couple. Maybe Valentine’s is the time you want to propose to your dear girlfriend. Choose a proposal location that isn’t to public, in case things get a bit awkward.
A great gift idea if you have been in a relationship for awhile is a charm bracelet. Something she can cherish now and forever. You can add charms to it periodically, maybe for her birthday, Christmas or next Valentine’s!
Valentines is about expressing your love, but with the help of materialistic tools. They can be big and expensive, or simple and sweet. The idea is to keep it about the love. If you think just chocolate and a card will do to make her day, then go for it.
