It is strange how Valentine’s Day always seems so far away in early January, and then suddenly it is February, and before you know it it’s Valentine’s Day. Shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts (or any other gifts) early, in my opinion, is always a good idea. Especially now, because of the COVID-19, shipping can take much longer than usual. Here are some of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for 2021. Valentine’s Day is a good opportunity to say and show your special one how much you love her or him. It is a celebration of love and happiness.

Valentine’s Day Gifts that are not chocolate
Drop Earrings
I guess jewelry is a rather classic gift for Valentine’s Day. Jewelry makes a great gift because it is lasting – it can be an investment and it is something that will be given from one generation to another, making it a family heirloom.
Drop earrings can be modest or eye-catching. Depending on their style, they go well with different outfits and looks. They are perfect for everyday wear or parties. There are so many designs and styles to choose from that everyone finds “the one” for their loved one.

Preserved Roses
Preserved roses (or sleeping roses as called here where I live) are becoming more and more popular. They are popular because they make a good gift and are eye-catching. Roses or other flowers don’t last long in a vase, however, the preserved roses can last up to three years.
