Valentine's Day is coming up. High time to dazzle your valentine with a boulder of a gift. Even as a happy single, you may put yourself in the limelight on this day with a fantastic gift. But what? Every year it remains a challenge to come up with something new. Fortunately, we think with you and have made a nice Amersfoort selection for you.
1. Board game & city tour in one!
Do you really want to give a unique gift? Then Rondje Amersfoort by Amersfoort Guides is for you. This game is based on the well-known Goose Board, but in an Amersfoort variant.
This will give you years of enjoyment and then there will be a collector's item in your game cabinet.
2. Fairy tale greeting card
A gift only acquires real meaning when you turn it into something personal. For example, with a self-written greeting card. At Letterpers you will find all kinds of greeting cards in different shapes and sizes.
All you need is a pen and voilà; your greeting card is ready for mailing. ;-)
3. Hearts of gemstones
On my favorite shopping street, the Krommestraat, you have Tara Buddha, and a super sweet and thoughtful gift you can "conjure" from here are gemstones in the shape of a heart.
You have them in all colors of the rainbow. Each kind has its own special meaning. The meaning of the Rose Quartz is "All you need is love." And well, that's what Valentine's Day is all about.
Not a fan of gemstones? They also have gorgeous mood lights.
4. Capture your love in a photo
Valentine's Day is the perfect day in the year to capture loving moments. A photo of you as a couple is a gift with lasting memories.
Photographer Marisa Broekhuizen prefers to photograph you as your great love sees you. Pure pictures. One thing is certain: you feel 100% at ease with her during the shoot.
5. Statement for the home
Tell me: a cozy interior makes your heart beat faster, doesn't it? A large candlestick, colorful bowl, cosy rug; there are so many cool accessories to give as gifts.
Guest blogger Christel gathered a few local addresses where you can succeed for every interior style. Go shopping!
6. The traditional bunch of red roses
Red roses represent romance, making them the ideal love rose to dazzle your valentine with. Go for a large bouquet or choose your own number of roses.
Tip: determine the number of roses based on a memory from your relationship. Have you been in a relationship for three years? Then get three. Just mentioning something!
Do you think red roses are a bit cliché? No problem, tastes differ. Other flowers to choose from are tulips (true love), dark red carnations (love and affection) and jasmines (purity, modesty and love). Above all, get advice from the staff at Bloembinderij All Seasons or another florist in Amersfoort.
7. Score a new outfit
Amersfoort is bursting with fine boutiques where you can score a radiant outfit. At our house, we absolutely love Roots, so I definitely recommend taking a look there.
Nothing for your friend in there? Then check out the blogs about the nicest boutiques and vintage stores in town. You can also have a golden gift on your hands with second-hand clothes.
