When you are in a fairly new relationship or even when you are newly married, you most likely make quite a big deal of Valentine’s Day. It’s important to show your partner or spouse how much you love them and it’s one of the most romantic days of the year. However, after several years of marriage, many couples either forget or choose not to celebrate this day. Which is rather sad since romance is important no matter how long you have been together. One couple that you might notice losing touch with romance is your parents. So, instead of focussing only on your own partner this Valentine’s Day, why not encourage your parents to relight that fire?

Just as you would send flowers to your Valentine, so too can you send a fresh bouquet to your parents. Make sure that you include both of their names on the card and let them know that you appreciate how they set such a great example. Depending on your budget, you could even make a reservation at a nice restaurant and make sure that the restaurant knows that the bill is covered. By now you must know where your parents love to eat which means that it should be easy enough to choose the perfect romantic venue.

Gift hampers also make great gifts for your parents. Look for a hamper that contains enough food and beverages for them to share. One great idea is to opt for a picnic basket. They are usually filled with a wide variety of sweet and savoury treats as well as a luxury bottle of wine or bubbly. Even if it’s cold outside, your parents can still enjoy a romantic picnic inside!

If one of your parents have passed away, it can be a particularly painful time. No matter how recently they lost their spouse, it’s romantic occasions like this that bring back loads of memories from the years gone by. It’s important to let your mum or dad know that you are thinking of them and they are not alone. A fresh flower delivery or a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift hamper can provide them with some comfort during this time that could otherwise prove unbelievably painful. Remember, since the gift is coming from their child, there is no need to look for a romantic gift. There are plenty of suitable gift hampers out there which will make it easier to choose something suitable. Pamper hampers, chocolate hampers, fresh fruit hampers, and cheese hampers are just some examples of gifts that you can consider. It’s also a good idea to consider sharing some of the treat with mum or dad so that they don’t feel even more lonely while consuming the contents. Spending time with you, will soothe the pain of being alone on Valentine’s Day.
