There’s no shortage of “Valentine’s Day gift ideas” online. But with the onset of remote work and the harsh reality of lockdowns, romantic trips and dining out may not be feasible gift ideas anymore. Plus, many of us started new careers and explored the new normal of entrepreneurship. A refreshing change!
Don’t enter Valentine’s Day unprepared! 👆🏻
We assembled this list of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for a busy creative entrepreneur because we believe you can come up with a much better gift than a card this year – though we always love a cute card, too.
There is something for a busy business builder in this guide to have a successful Valentine’s Day this year and, honestly, for years to come! From simple, classic gifts (of course, a bouquet of flowers!) to more unique options (think of a “List of reasons why I love you” notebook).
However, one thing applies to every item: They are just as thoughtful, interesting, and practical.
And if you’re a little late, you will surely find some great last-minute Valentine’s Day gift ideas, too.
Customized portraits
