Learning the love languages can be a meaningful way to connect with your partner, or even a close friend. During the month of love date series, I wanted to go into detail about the love languages, and gift ideas for date nights. I am curious what others got? We finished words of affirmation and physical touch, but I thought we’d jump to receiving gifts.. Who are my receiving gifts friends?
Receiving gifts is an interesting love language. When I first saw it, I imagined it was describing someone that loves getting gifts, and is almost greedy. When I started looking more into this love language, it was more about the meaning behind the gifts that are given. No luxury items are needed. After seeing this, I almost thought I would have gotten this love language. If anyone knows me, I put a lot of thought into putting together a gift for someone.
Now that I understand a little more about this love language, I can give you some ideas for the month of love dating series. Let’s get to the fun part. Need ways to show your love through receiving gifts, these are some fun ideas!
Make a playlist that makes you think of them
This is a great free gesture to show your love through gift giving. After making the playlist, go on a drive with your significant other to places that remind you of them, and listen to the playlist.
The five senses gift
This is an awesome way to show your love on Valentine’s Day, and includes all those fun senses. This gift takes a lot of thought, and your loved one will appreciate the thought you put in. Gift ideas for the five senses:
Taste: restaurant gift card, supplies for a homemade dinner (you’d buy it anyway), chocolate, tea, or coffee.
Touch: massage, pedicure, shoes they’ve been wanting, or a hat that they have been wanting.
Smell: cologne, perfume, baking or cooking class, flowers, or candle.
Hearing: tickets to a concert, earphones, or personalized playlist (see above for a date idea)
Sight: framed photo of the two of you, tickets to a play, a movie, a book, or a piece of artwork that you created.
These five sense gift ideas can be a thoughtful way to show your love and ideas for a future date night. My husband really hates experience gifts. My family knows that’s my jam. I love them because it brings people together to enjoy an activity. Get creative with these ideas and remember that they don’t need to cost a lot of money. This is what I’m doing as a present for my husband for valentines day. I thought it was creative. Check out my Instagram to see the final product.
Plan a date and surprise them
This is a great idea for this love language. Planning a surprise date that your loved one would enjoy, shows that you put a lot of thought into this gift. Surprise date nights can include packing a picnic, going to a movie, or taking them to their favorite coffee spot to enjoy a coffee.
If you received gifts , what kind of date are you going to enjoy with your loved one? Are you going to try one of these ideas, or did you come up with one on your own?
If you didn’t get receiving gifts, physical touch or words of affirmation, don’t worry, quality time is up next!
