Questions and answers

What should I get my gf for Valentine’s Day if we just started dating?

Keep it light and personal: a single red rose, her favorite coffee delivered, a book with a note inside or a board game for two. The For a new relationship group holds these.

What can I make my girlfriend for Valentine’s Day?

A love letter sealed with wax, a reasons-I-love-you jar, homemade coupon hearts, chocolate-dipped strawberries or a three-course dinner at home. The Made by you group holds them.

Is a date a good Valentine’s Day gift?

Yes, and often a better one than a thing. A pasta-making class, a stargazing drive, a picnic in a blanket fort or dinner where you had your first date gives her a memory, not a parcel.
