Q&A for How to Give Unique Valentine's Day Gifts That Say What You Mean

Of course you can! There's nothing wrong with a little bit of chocolate for your BFF.

Yes, go for it!

Gifts are almost always better when received in person, face to face. Alternatively, you could leave the gift with one of their relatives, or a trusted friend with a handwritten note. If the person lives far away, you could mail the gift to them instead.

You can always just ask him! Let him know that you want to know how he truly feels about you. If you feel like you love him, then you could even say so first and see if he responds the same way. Keep in mind though that you don't have to be in love with someone to celebrate Valentine's Day with them. Just enjoying each other's company is enough.

Most likely, either she wasn't quite sure how she felt about you first, or she wanted to get a friend's opinion on you before committing to anything. There's also a chance that she was seeing someone else or thinking about seeing someone else and that didn't end up working out, so you're her backup date.

If he doesn't care about you, then he's not much of a boyfriend. You should end that relationship.

Say politely you want to remain friends, and that you are not ready to date anyone yet. If they are your friend, they will respect your choice.

You should not give her anything. She just wants to be your friend and this day is for love.

If the person in question has your same sense of humor, then yes, it's perfectly fine. Everyone shows love in different ways. Be prepared, however, for this to not come across as a grand gesture, as memes are easily made or procured, and require generally minimal effort on your part as gifts go. If you're trying for a romantic gift, you may wish to consider other options instead, in place of or in addition to the memes.

This can be a complicated situation to navigate, but it uniquely equips you to buy gifts. If it's your best friend, you're far more likely to know the person's interests and be able to find a gift that's personal and meaningful. If you find yourself at a loss as to how to communicate that the gift is romantic and not just platonic, accompany the gift with a letter or a poem explaining your feelings and intent.

It is likely that he realizes you made an effort and it was the thought that counted. After all, wouldn't it have been awful if you'd not given him anything at all when he gave you something? If it really bothers you, just explain you didn't have a lot of money at the time but you're saving up for something to make up for it for his birthday.

Ask in a straightforward, simple way, without making it into a big deal. Try something like, "Hey Mick, Valentine's is coming up soon. Do you think it'd be cool if we gave each other a little something to celebrate the occasion? I'm keen if you are!" Then wait to see what he thinks and take your cues from there.

It's not necessary to give your guy friend a Valentine's Day gift unless he's a close friend. If you choose to give him something, keep it subtle and avoid anything too sentimental to prevent any misunderstandings.

You can make him something with materials you already have or simply give him a heartfelt smile.
