Flowers and chocolates are the go-to gifts for showing appreciation on Valentine's Day, but you can get creative and make it more memorable. Purchasing gifts for a partner, spouse, or even a close friend can be fun as long as it’s thoughtfully crafted and personalized.

Custom rings, necklaces, or bracelets are perfect and timeless gifts. You can take it one step further and add an engraving of their initials, a special date, or even a quote that holds value to both of you. Instead of a diamond, you can go for a birthstone or a diamond heart setting. Shiv Shambu offers engagement rings, wedding bands, and fine jewelry that tell your story, which they will let you customize.  

Love letters might seem old school, but handwritten ones hold real value. You can go in-depth by expressing your feelings on beautiful paper or even build a scrapbook and fill it up with pictures along your journey; ticket stubs, photos or anything memorable would work. You can also decorate the scrapbook with notes that describe special moments, your partner will appreciate these gifts forever.
