Your Gift Guide for Valentine's Day

It’s the one holiday solely dedicated to romance. And whether you’re casually dating or in a long-term relationship, there’s pressure to find the perfect gift.  Sure, you can always rely on flowers and heart-shaped chocolates, but why not spring for something that your mate will truly enjoy?

This week we spoke with Vrej Sarkissian, CEO of Anoush Catering and LA Banquets, who shared some great Valentine's Day gift ideas.

For Him

If he likes tech…
If he has a busy work schedule or just loves chatting on the phone, he probably wishes his phone had a longer battery life. Let the Mophie Juice pack come to his rescue. This convenient rechargeable external battery case protects the iPhone while giving you up to 12 hours of extra talk time.

If he likes music…
Does he sing in the car, in the shower, and in the kitchen? How about a vintage record, new CD or iTunes gift certificate?

If he likes to read…
Does he get lost in a good book or new magazine? Think about a year-long subscription to his favorite magazine or a Kindle.

If he likes sports…
Is he a sports fanatic? Does he yell at the TV every time a game is on? Consider tickets to a sporting event or autographed memorabilia from his favorite athlete.

FOR HER:

If she could use some relaxation…
Does she need to unwind from a stressful job? Get her a gift certificate to a spa where she can spend the day being pampered. She’ll emerge feeling refreshed and beautiful.

If she likes photography…
Is she constantly snapping photos and trying to capture every moment that you’re together? The Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile printer lets her print out the cutest pictures from her phone via USB or Bluetooth.

If she likes vacations…
Is she fond of skipping town for a weekend getaway? Make travel arrangements to a destination you know she’ll be excited about. Whether it’s a weekend of skiing, beach time, or a couple of days at a quiet cabin, spending time alone together is a gift you can both enjoy.

If she adores going out…
How about night out on the town? Get tickets to a play or concert. Surprise her with dinner reservations where you had your first date. She’s guaranteed to love the sentiment!

We hope these ideas helped you find the perfect gift for your Valentine! If you have more gift ideas, share on our Facebook wall!
