Perfect Gifts
Painting
Do you or your partner have a favorite photograph? It can be a photo of your trip to the ocean, of your mate being all dressed up for New Years Eve. Send the photograph to an artist who will actually paint the picture on canvas. A great place to check this out is on Instapainting site. This is a beautiful gesture, and a gift that will leave them speechless. Unless you are sure of where the painting will be hung, give them a gift certificate to have the painting framed.
Golden Rose
This is the kind of gift that screams “pick me!” on Valentines Day. A live rose is dipped in 24 karat gold and placed in a beautiful gift box. You can get the rose that has lacquered petals (so you can see the color of the rose.) The stem (and leaves) are dipped in 24 karat gold. Other times, you may want the entire rose dipped. Sometimes these roses are called eternity roses. The process takes about 3 months to complete, and the results are stunning. A rose dipped in gold will last hundreds of years. They are surprisingly affordable. Check with a quality jeweler in your area. To make the rose 100% personal, have it engraved.
Signature Perfume or cologne
When we think of someone who has a signature scented perfume, we think of wealthy people and movie stars. In reality, anyone can create their signature scent in their own homes. Finding a formula that is right for you is possible with the help of essential oils. Buy the supplies needed to make perfume and help him or she find the perfect blend.

Lovebirds
- What can be more perfect than two sweet little Lovebirds? If your partner is an experienced bird lover who has plenty of time on their hands, this may be an okay gift. However, you should be aware that these birds have some pretty common issues that demand attention. Here are a few:
- Noise
- These birds sometimes have a high-pitch squeal that is frustrating to live with. Other times they just chatter and chatter.
- Messy
- Birds throw/spit seeds out of their cages while they are eating. Their natural bodily functions will also keep you busy. You should prepare yourself for the extra time for cleaning every day.
- Tend to have respiratory infections and other health problems
- It is difficult to keep the birds well in a confined area. The breath in dust and particles from their waste.

- Puppies
- Like the lovebird, a puppy is the cutest thing in the world. You can cuddle with them all day. However, puppies are much like human babies. They need constant care. There are shots, check-ups, and grooming. The puppy will need to be housebroken. You will have to keep a close watch on the puppy to teach it how to go to the door when it’s time to go outside.
- Puppies chew. They chew just about anything. You will find chewed up shoes, purses, pillows, furniture, and anything else they can get to. Over time you can train them not to do these things. But, in the beginning, it is tough.
