Aside from your anniversary, Valentine’s day is the only other occasion where you get an excuse to spoil your partner. It’s the perfect excuse to remind her that you treasure her presence and all that she brings to your life. That said, there’s a lot of pressure to get the perfect gift for your special someone, and finding a meaningful, unique gift is easier said than done. Chocolates and roses are a classic but almost too cliche nowadays. You could gift some perfume or jewellery, though those tend to be rather expensive and there’s no guarantee that she will actually like them. The best way to show that you love her and value her time is by getting her an experience rather than an object. She gets to dress up for an outing, feel special and cute, and the memory of the day is a gift that keeps on giving. After all, what better way to express your love and affection for her than with a classy and thoughtful experience that’s truly one of a kind and personal? If she loves to feel pampered and be the centre of attention, then she will love any of these 4 gift ideas.
Makeover and Portrait Session
A makeover and portrait session means your girlfriend or wife gets to be treated like royalty. The luxury of having a professional do her hair and makeup isn’t something she gets to experience every day, so this time will be highly appreciated and treasured forever. After her makeover is complete, she will already feel so special and beautiful even before she steps in front of the camera. The fact that this day gets to be documented and her look captured for future reference is just icing on the cake! Above all else, this is also a great learning experience since a professional makeover and portrait session can teach her so much about what makeup techniques will work best on her. She will also learn a number of flattering poses and facial expressions, so all of her future selfies will be absolutely stunning.
Boudoir Photoshoot + Hair and Makeup
If the woman in your life isn’t afraid of her more sensual side and wouldn’t be opposed to the idea, a boudoir photoshoot could be an unforgettable experience, made better only by the knowledge that you are the one paying for her to be spoiled. Package the photoshoot with a hair and makeup session, and she’ll get an album full of photos of her at her most confident and glamorous. To truly complete the experience, a great idea would be to get her some lingerie to wear during the photoshoot as well. With all the effort you put into this gift, she might even consider sharing a few photos with you.
Personal Makeup Lesson
Most women taught themselves all they know about makeup, and your partner is probably the same. If you’ve noticed her struggling to get ready in the mornings or having a hard time following youtube tutorials, a personal makeup lesson is your best bet. With an instructor to teach her the basics, she will gain the proper foundation of makeup skills needed to experiment with new looks in the future. During the lesson, she will learn how to best prepare the skin to ensure long-lasting wear, what colour palettes best complement her complexion and hair tones and several makeup profiles to suit a variety of occasions. You are gifting her a mastery of makeup application, and the knowledge of how to integrate the makeup routine into everyday life.
Couple Photoshoot with Hair and Makeup Pamper for Her
If you’re a relatively new couple and kids aren’t in the picture, then a couple’s photoshoot is a great way to capture your love for each other. This also works if she tends to be a bit camera shy and doesn’t feel comfortable being alone in front of the camera. A couple’s photoshoot is an experience you can both enjoy and have fun with, and she will greatly appreciate it not only for the photos but for the time you spent together as well since it makes for a great bonding experience for the two of you. To make it more than just a photoshoot and really make it a gift for her, including a hair and makeup pamper will make her feel special.
