We all know that feeling – Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and panic mode sets in trying to find the best last-minute gift for our girlfriends, boyfriends, wives, husbands, and spouses. The clock is ticking. With all the chores and work going on, you might be forgiven for leaving things until the last minute, but don’t just settle for any gift.

Time might not be on your side, but JiveBird is! Gift-giving is one of the languages of love we speak fluently, so here are our top 5 last-minute Valentine’s Day gift ideas that will arrive just in time for the big day!  

1. DELIVER A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS AT THE LAST MINUTE

It just wouldn’t be right to not include flowers on our list! Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day of the year and flowers make for a great last-minute gift to shower that special someone with love!

When words aren’t enough to express your love for your partner, flowers capture those magical moments that words can’t describe. Nothing beats the feeling of watching your partner burst with joy when they receive a bouquet of flowers wrapped in romance and vibrant colours!

Marks and Spencer have a great range of fresh bouquets for your loved ones that you can choose to order just in time for Valentine’s Day

2. bake a cake on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is an invitation to indulge in desserts! Cakes are great for whipping up a last-minute gift as they are a fun and thoughtful homemade gift! The key to a loved one’s heart is a deliciously baked cake because if the cake is all about love, then romance is the icing on top!

Sainsbury’s have posted recipes that will make you fall in love with their cakes! These elegant, creamy cakes are bursting with flavours that will melt their heart, so be a cake cupid and woo your partner with a well-baked cake! You can even decorate it with some gorgeous red icing and pink sprinkles for that special Valentine touch!

3. JIVEBIRD APP – PERFECT FOR LAST-MINUTE GREETINGS

Ditch the traditional paper cards this year, send a digital JiveBird greeting instead! Express your love with a voice message, music, eCard, photo, video, and optional eGift – all in one! It’s the ideal last-minute solution to save your Valentine’s Day, as your JiveBird greeting can either be scheduled to arrive on the 14^th of February or sent instantly!

It’s 100% digital so even if you have a long-distance relationship and your partner is miles and miles away, your greeting will land on their phone seconds after you click send! You don’t have to worry about buying stamps, missing the post, or your Valentine card not arriving in time.

We have an amazing selection of Valentine’s Day-themed songs and customised love eCards on our app that will leave a mark on their heart! Not just that but you can add your own personal voice message to your greeting. There is nothing sweeter than your lover hearing the words ‘you’re the best!’ from your very own voice message!

If you want to sprinkle more love on your greetings, you can also send an optional eGift from several of the top brands like Amazon, Marks and Spencer, Costa Coffee, Argos and many more!

4. LOVE LETTERS TO EXPRESS YOUR LOVE!

The writing is on the wall: romance is truly felt when expressed in words. If you have just too much to say, a hand-written love letter is the ideal last-minute gift that is sure to leave your partner with hearts (and happy tears) in their eyes. It’s a gesture that is truly personal!

Amazon’s love letter is the epitome of romance. Communicate how you feel and what you love about your partner. You can be as romantic and cheesy as you like! If a picture is worth a thousand words, then words will paint a picture your loved one will never forget.

Your last-minute Valentine’s Day gift needs to hit all the right notes and what better way to do that than with music? Our 5^th gift idea is Argos’ karaoke machine that is bound to leave you and your partner singing all night long. Have a ball singing the song that was played on your first date or on your wedding day! Don’t be afraid to belt the words off-key or point out when your partner sings the wrong lyrics (don’t worry, it happens to all of us!). Whatever song you choose to sing, it will pull on their heartstrings this Valentine’s Day — or at least make them laugh!

You may have lost track of time this year, but you certainly haven’t lost your romantic heart. With these 5 brilliant last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts, you’re sure to fill their hearts with joy and laughter!

We hope you all celebrate Valentine’s Day and impress the love of your life! Whether it’s with a love letter, a bouquet of their favourite flowers, or a JiveBird greeting, your loved one will be smiling from ear to ear!

Happy Valentine’s Day JiveBirders!
