Valentine's Day gift giving doesn't have to be hard, there are trusted standbys like flowers and chocolates that will satisfy your obligation and show that you care. Those are standards for a reason. I could go for a box of chocolates right now.
But behind the standard choices for Valentine's Day is the search for a truely intimate gift. A gift that will present itself in a quiet moment. When your target is lost in thought, worried or anxious, and needs a touchstone to connect with the security and reassurance of a partnership. A true romantic gift is a reminder of something else, something that's much harder to describe or talk about.
If you have a recipient in mind, but you aren't sure if you should get them something for Valentine's Day... I'm officially giving you permission. Here is some photographic inspiration for everyone, enjoy your search!
