Even with a small, lovingly selected or even homemade gift, you can give your other half a lot of joy on Valentine's Day.
Every year many people are faced with the big question: What romantic gesture should I surprise my partner with on Valentine's Day?
From simple chocolate to a lavish bouquet of flowers to high-quality jewelry - everyone celebrates the day of love with a different budget.
However, you usually don't need an expensive present to demonstrate your love to your partner.
Because if you put a little thought into it, you can also inspire people with cheaper gifts.
Valentine's Day gift: time for two
Time spent consciously as a couple can quickly get lost in the stress of everyday life.
On the day of love, you should take a look at yourself and think about a nice opportunity for some time together.
Whether it's a trip to the lake, a visit to the cinema or museum, or a cooking evening together at home - there are no limits to your imagination when it comes to shared activities.
If you don't have a brilliant gift idea for Valentine's Day, you can't go wrong with the classic – pralines and chocolate.

Shared interests or explicit wishes of your partner can be easily addressed.
If your significant other tells you about a particular photo exhibition every day, surprise them with two cards for Valentine's Day.
Are you both passionate about puzzles?
Then buy a beautiful puzzle, as well as delicious snacks and drinks and choose a specific day to make your plans come true.
Timeless classic: surprise for snacking
Along with red roses, chocolates are probably the ultimate classic for Valentine's Day.
However, that doesn't make them any less delicious.
There are few more suitable gifts for chocoholics than a beautiful piece of chocolate.
And you can also put a smile on your partner's lips with other treats.
If you don't want to buy sweets, you can bake sugary heart waffles on Valentine's Day in under ten minutes.
A gift for shared memories: homemade photo album
If you have a little more time on gray January days and like to do crafts, you can surprise your partner with a self-made photo album for Valentine's Day.
Everything from printed photos to love letters and admission and concert tickets can be pasted and labeled.
This way you can capture all your shared memories.

Romantic gesture: flowers for Valentine's Day
Flowers for Valentine's Day are never a bad idea either.
Whether it's for him or her, fresh flowers are always a nice gesture, assuming your partner likes flowers.
Because not everyone can be enthusiastic about a colorful bouquet of flowers.
After a few days, the flowers wither and end up in organic waste some time later.
If you are looking for flowers to last forever, you can also give Lego flowers instead of fresh ones.
If you buy two packs at once, you can plan a nice date, similar to the puzzle.
Boiled or baked – because as we all know, the way to the heart is through the stomach
Likewise, your partner will probably be happy about a lovingly prepared dinner for two.
Whether you're shopping and preparing everything to cook together with a nice glass of wine or cooking for your partner - very few people can resist a romantic menu.
