Skip the cliché types of gifts. Original gift ideas are sure to be seen as thoughtful and will be appreciated by your loved one! Shop local. Support a Palm Beach County retailer and recruit their assistance. Here are a handful of non-traditional Valentine’s Day gift ideas. 

1.  Chocolate Covered Strawberries - Local chocolatiers like Hoffman's Chocolates or Kilwin's Chocolates are great options. Add a cute note expressing how "sweet" you are on that individual!

2. A Custom Book – Have a book made about the first time you met your special someone until now! Be sure to include some photos of the two of you from past and present so that you can look back at all the wonderful memories you have made together.

 3. Personalized Sign – Something that speaks to your relationship and can have your names added to it. Etsy is a great place to check out for this kind of stuff! Or find a local crafter and support a local business! 

 4. A Romantic Get-Away – This one sounds the most cliché but, not if you are creative about it! Maybe a weekend at a hidden away beachfront resort, like Jupiter Beach Resort in Jupiter, with plenty of champagne and chocolate. 

 5. Paper Bouquet – Opt for a homemade heart bouquet fastened to twigs and branches – one heart for every day, month, or year together!
