Romantic homemade gift ideas for your future husband or wife

Black forest gateau

Flowers and chocolates: the quintessential romantic gifts, but it’s sometimes good to break the mould and go for something a little quirkier. Homemade presents are the perfect way to keep your gift-giving fresh and exciting: they show that a lot of care and effort went into the gift, making them even more wonderful to receive than a more traditional present.

Baked goods

Baking is a fun way to spend an afternoon, and it’s made even better when you wind up with a delicious treat to gift your partner at the end of it. Is your wife a big cheesecake fan? Does your husband always order second servings of chocolate fudge cake? Hunt out some delicious replicas of their favourite desserts online and whip up your own version in the kitchen.

If you’re not sure what your partner would like best, you can’t go wrong with the classics: warm, freshly-baked cookies, or cutely-decorated cupcakes.

Make a 21st century mix-tape

A romantic mix-tape was every 70s’ teenagers favourite way to demonstrate their affections to their high school crush. Compiling a romantic mix of your partners favourite songs, of songs that hold romantic meaning for you both, or of songs with lyrics that remind you of them, is a lovely (and inexpensive way) to show them some appreciation. You can easily make a playlist using Spotify, or audio downloads.
