1. give the gift of time

Is intimate togetherness rather rare for you? Then giving the gift of time together is just the right gift idea for Valentine's Day for you and your partner. Whether in the form of a nice dinner, an overnight stay in a hotel or a TV evening with your favorite movie and snacks planned by you. It's not the monetary value that counts, but the gesture and the time spent together.

2. beautiful memories captured on paper

Head to the nearest drugstore and print out a few photos of you and your sweetheart at an express service machine. If you have the time and inclination, you can even make a small collage or frame the pictures. At many of these machines, you can also decorate your photos with funny emoticons or sayings, which adds a very individual touch.

3. write a love letter

Why not write a love letter again - no, SMS or WhatsApp don't count! Sounds old-fashioned? It is and it's also incredibly romantic! Unlike an email or text message, a handwritten letter is something very personal and eternal. True romantics spray the paper with their partner's favorite scent and seal the letter with wax.

4. sweeten your sweetheart's day

Bake a cake if you have to do it quickly, simply buy one or put together a bag of your favorite treats. Perhaps you can sneak a slice of cake or sweets into the work bag without attracting attention, then the joy in the office will be great.

5. let your love grow together

Buy a small packet of seeds - whether roses, sunflowers or tomatoes, it's entirely up to you. The plant seeds are a symbol of your love, planting and nurturing them together will show your close bond and you can actually watch your love grow.
