I know I’m not the only one who needs some help choosing gifts for their significant other! Hopefully this makes the process easier on you! I will show you what I am giving Ryan this year and some other great ideas. I also included a few DIY’s for more personal and affordable gifts.

1. A Card/Love Letter

This is pretty obvious but I think handwritten cards are so special. You can also just write a letter on any piece of paper and decorate it yourself to make it more personal (and free). I found this specific one at Target and was drawn to it because of the sushi, which is something Ryan and I both love to eat together! Hopefully it isn’t too girly for him lol! Any dollar store has cheap cards that would work perfectly fine as well.

2. Framed Photograph

I realized that I didn’t have any printed photos of Ryan and me so I made one of my favorites in black and white and bought a frame. I found this one at Bed Bath & Beyond. TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Michael’s have good ones as well. Target even has one for just $2. And, photos are inexpensive to print so this gift total could be under $2.50. There’s no way your partner won’t love this!

3. Bake a Dessert!

You can never go wrong with baked goods! These are also customizable and personal, and obviously yummy! Find my links for the recipe and supplies on my pervious post here.

4. Massage Gift Card

I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t want a massage! If you are a Baltimore local I linked my favorite place here.

5. Love Coupons!

I love love coupons! I found these printable ones but you could also hand make them for free. Just search “love coupon ideas” on Pinterest and there are plenty of ideas!

6. Shaving Cream

I remember Ryan saying he wanted to try one of Lush’s shaving creams so I picked this out. I have seen shaving cream on other gift guides so it must be a popular gift for guys!

7. Photo Album

IF you want to go all out and make a book yourself, I linked a tutorial not he photo below. If that is is too artistic, I posted the Shutterfly book option. The company can even design the layout for you. You could also use any photo album as an alternative.

8. Candles

My boyfriend loves candles, so I have definitely gifted him a few before. He likes these two below!

************

9. Open when Letters

Open When letters are letters you write for specific occasions like, “Open when you miss me,” or “Open when you’re sad.” I have written these for friends and they are great to give your significant other! This website I found has some great ideas!

10. Hand Cream

Ryan always needs lotion for his hands and I found this great one at Lush. Hopefully he won’t mind it has a light pink tint to it!
