Stop the anxiety! 10 Covid Friendly Gift Ideas for Her

I don't care what the occasion or how long you have been together - every lady loves to feel valued, thought about, and cherished. Even little miss "you don't have to get me anything!" She isn't lying - you don't have to get her anything! Which is why it feels so incredible when you do. When you think of her, in whatever way fits her best.

So are you feeling that "I have to find the perfect gift" anxiety?

Let's table that and see if some of the ideas below spark some inspiration... and possibly more.

This past year has us thinking outside the box

Yes, 2020 was quite the year, in terms of uniqueness... and "let's NEVER do THAT again-ness". So gift ideas in our current climate can see a little more challenging. Being near Valentine's Day, the thought of giving your lady love the normal chocolates (who handled those!? Did you wipe off the box?) and fancy, severely overpriced dinner (INSIDE?? With strangers?? Are you INSANE!?) is certainly one way to show your love. Classic, yes. But it lacks a little something, no? Not just originality, but also, lack of proper covid caution!

Let's think fresh... and also unique to her personality!

Most folks have had a real shift in how they spend their time recently. Maybe more family time, more time for chores/home improvement, more time for naps, etc. A gift that "fits" this new normal can make the time spent feel a little more lux!

Below is a list of 10 ideas to get your creative thinking heading in the right direction:

1. A relaxing read

Is your partner a total bookworm? Do you know her favorite book? Series? Genre?? Don't guess. While recognizing nothing truly compares to the warm feeling of holding an actual book.. consider a Kindle Unlimited subscription. A covid quarantine delight of genres, series, and books! Better still, right now, you can get a special discount on a 6 month, 12 month, or 24 month subscription, up to 40% off the regular subscription price! THAT is a gift that keeps on giving! Plus.. plenty of erotica for you two to read aloud... or act out with each other.

2. Wanderlust tugging at her soul?

Being cooped up for too long can make anyone a little twitchy to take a trip. But travel hasn't been highly recommended... unless it is cozy and covid free. How about a day trip? A beautiful, scenic train ride near where you live might be just the ticket! Many scenic rail lines are selling more secluded seats for special occasions. Cozy up together and let someone else do the driving as you take in the sights! Bring a warm blanket and sip some hot cocoa to make the experience one you will both cherish. (Alternatives to this idea would be a long day hike, camping, or a short road trip in a motor home to somewhere you can be tourists for a weekend!)

3. Music moves the spirit

If she is an eclectic music lover, try a gift subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited! She can enjoy unlimited, ad-free access to over 70 million songs, including offline listening, podcasts & creating endless playlists for various activities she enjoys. **Bonus Points** Make a playlist just for the two of you in her account before you hand it over! Thoughtfulness like that never goes out of style.

4. Take up painting

Hear me out... You don't need to be an artist for this one! Put on some soft music, pour a little wine, and explore your artistic sides with some sensual... you thought I was going with edible body paint, didn't you?? Well, you can, if you feel so inclined! However, if you aren't the "lick it off each other" type, you have had a bad experience with edible sexy things, or you just know where this might lead and you don't want to be too sticky (from paints), how about just wet and dry makeup brushes? (Pro tip: NOT the collection she uses for actual makeup!!) Get a cheap set of brushes, use some small pots of warm and ice water for some sensory experiences with smaller, more precise brushes (think lip and eye brushes). Use some of the larger, fluffy brushes dry on naked skin (blush/powder brushes, or even a fanned eyelash brush, in super-sensitive spots). Slow and playful is the name of this game...

5. Feeling adventurous?

Book something out of her comfort zone, but something she has always wanted to try! Ice skating, swimming with dolphins, horseback riding, sky diving, etc. Novelty is good for relationships (& an adrenaline rush every now and then is kinda spicy!). Showing that you have paid attention to her secret desires and want to support her all the way through something she has been afraid, or unable to try up-to-now is super sexy!

6. Nostalgia is calling

Normally, I would suggest a fun date at an indoor trampoline park for this one... so covid friendly options to this idea would be - buy that lady a trampoline! Okay, okay... maybe just find a friend who would let you plan a date in their backyard if they have one already set up. Why is this a good idea? It's a fun, bonding way to bring out the inner child in both of you, with versions of child-like activities you might still enjoy. A visit to a theme park, carnival or even hitting up a local park - adults can still enjoy the swing-sets, merry-go-rounds, and slides at many parks. Enjoying a sweet treat together while contemplating the stars would certainly top off the experience. (Pro tip: If being outwardly active isn't her thing, you can capture the same feelings with old-school board games or classic video games. Prizes for winners are totally up to you!)

7. Pictures, or it didn't happen!

Is your honey a fan of selfies? Up the game, by scheduling a professional photo session for the two of you! This doubles as a wonderful way to support an independent local photographer, as many have had some bookings drop during the pandemic. A quick search on social media, Google, or various apps geared towards local professionals, will yield some samples to look at so you can find a style you might both enjoy. (Pro tip: On a budget? a smartphone & a basic tripod = a fun photo/video shoot to remember!)

8. For the creative cutie who enjoys puzzles

This one may take a little more creativity, but plenty of ideas online for making some clever clue cards for a scavenger hunt! From mild to wild - or a mix to keep her guessing - scavenger hunts can be indoors/outdoors, exciting, fun, and end with a prize! I rest my case.

9. New experience for the sensual homebody

Staying home just got a little more interesting... do a little search and you can find some online workshops for date night. We aren't talking dancing or cooking lessons! What are we talking? How about some sexy & sensual virtual workshops for couples? There are all types & levels, of course, if you are the wild type! But as a "for anyone" idea - try a "Tantra Date Night" session (dates available on Eventbrite). This is a PG rated (clothes on) experience, so it can be suitable for even newer couples. It's a virtual, guided experience that takes you on a journey to explore deeper chemistry with your partner.

10. A little cocoon, so a beautiful butterfly can emerge

There is a chance that no matter how much your lady loves you, the kids, the relatives, her friends, the pets, etc. - that sometimes, she needs a little time to herself. Creating a cozy haven, just for her, is an incredibly romantic gesture! A "she shed", a meditation room, even an arranged space on a porch or patio, where she can get away any time she needs a little alone time to refresh. Let's face it, most women give so much of themselves to everyone else - she needs to fill her own cup, from time to time. With renewed vivacity, she may even feel inclined to invite you into her new sanctuary once in a while...

I hope this quick list has gotten a few ideas stirring in your imagination! No matter the occasion, your love will undoubtedly adore any display of love you ultimately choose - so be brave, be creative, and put your heart into it!
