number one: wood carving set
I know what you're thinking: maybe not the most romantic thing, but hear me out! I remember in the early days of our dating relationship, Sean and I climbed a tree that had some sentimental importance to us and carved our initials into it. Simple, but it was such a fun date. Give this kit to your sweetheart and personalize it by sewing their name into the case or just buy one knife and have it engraved. Pair it with a bottle of wine and hopefully mild weather and it makes for a very sweet Valentine's. Plus, if your boo is into it, they can take up whittling as a hobby afterward.
number two: treasure hunt locket
I'm completely smitten with this little acorn locket from ChristineDomanic on Etsy. The top unscrews to reveal a hidden canister inside. Roll up a scroll of paper extolling your Valentine's virtues or, to add a dash of excitement, put a clue inside sending her on a scavenger hunt. Now no one is looking for you to pull a Leslie Knope (how could any of us compare?) but it might be a fun way to start off the festivities. More ideas after the jump!
