6 Gift Ideas to Make Your Partner More Confident

 

Is your partner marvelous in every way, but doesn’t know it? It’s one thing to be humble, but lacking self-confidence can hold you back in life.

That said, retail therapy can be healing. Here are six gift ideas to make your partner feel more confident! Feel free to personalize them!

 

1. Cologne

Help your partner smell (and feel) their best with a new bottle of cologne. It’s an easy way to make them more confident, assured in the knowledge that they smell fresh, woody, floral or somewhere in between.

Maybe they like the strong aroma of a bonfire. There’s a cologne for that. Maybe they prefer a more romantic tinge, in which case, rose is an excellent choice.

You can even make it a date, going to a store together to choose the right cologne for both him and you. After all, you’ll be smelling it just as often!  

 

2. A New Skill 

Feeling helpless is a surefire way to lose confidence. If their last road trip left them rattled after they got a flat, an adult driving safety course could teach essential skills like changing a tire. It can also restore their sense of security on the road — maybe they won’t always need you to drive them on out-of-town trips.

 

Fears can stem from a lack of exposure as much as the danger itself. Fully 46% of Americans are afraid to swim in the deep end of a pool, often because they don’t know how to do the crawl stroke. Give them the gift of lessons. The experience they gain will instill confidence for a lifetime.

 

What if you dream of sweeping your sweetie away to Paris when travel restrictions ease, but they hesitate with foreign travel due to the language barrier? You can find tons of language learning apps that can help them perfect their “parlez” before departure.

 

3. A Healthy App Subscription 

The app-inspired confidence-building doesn’t end with mastering a foreign tongue. You can find programs designed to do anything from helping your sweetheart get a handle on their finances to dancing their way to fabulous shape.

 

You do have to use caution with fitness apps. If your partner hasn’t mentioned wanting a weight-loss or exercise app, think back to the flack surrounding the Peloton ad featuring an already-thin woman looking terrified on what should be a special holiday morning. You don’t want to give your partner the impression that you think they’re anything less than perfect the way they are.

 

However, if all they can talk about is how they wish they had a Fitbit like their friends to measure their daily steps, feel free to indulge. The same goes for if they develop a sudden passion for yoga or Zumba. Help them finance their fitness passion with a gift that says, “I care about your health, too.

Of course, you don’t need to stop with fitness. If a pandemic job loss inspired them to start their own business, an accounting software suite might not sound romantic but could save their hide come tax time.

 

4. A Workbook and Journal Set

Is your beloved doing some work on themselves? It’s hard work to overcome trauma and take an honest look at how your actions and behaviors affect others.

 

Such an endeavor deserves the right tools. Whatever demons your beloved faces, a psychologist has written a workbook to help address them. Find out whose work your partner admires for their gift or pick from one of many self-help tomes lining shelves today.

 

To make your gift complete, pair it with a beautiful notebook to do their deepest work. While any old dollar store notebook will do, giving your partner an appealing place to pen their thoughts shows you care about their recovery journey.

 

5. A Glamorous Photo Shoot

There’s much more than a person than their appearance, but feeling ashamed of how you look can shake your self-confidence. Why not let them see exactly how beautiful they are to you with the gift of a glamorous photo shoot that enables the artist to highlight their every attractive feature?

 

When selecting a photographer, ask to see samples of their other work. If your beloved isn’t a fan of makeup, pay attention to the other model’s skin tones in their portfolio. Do they look natural or overly orange or pink from too much post-pic Photoshopping?

 

Consider your location, too. If your sweetheart is camera-shy, they may feel less so if your gift also captures the beauty of your favorite scenic place.

 

6. A Pair of Distance Touch Anything

Do you and your partner share a long-distance love affair? It’s challenging to help the one you love to feel more confident when you aren’t there all the time to tell them how much they mean to you.

 

However, technology gives you an ideal way to show that you care. You can find lamps and bracelets that come in pairs. When you touch yours in New York, it illuminates their Los Angeles apartment and tells them, “You’re special,” without even having to type out a text message.

11 Ted Mosby Quotes for the Hopeless Romantic in You This Valentine’s Day

If you’re a fan of How I Met Your Mother, then you’ve probably watched the series more than once, twice, or three times and because of that, you’ve probably inevitably started to adopt Ted Mosby’s hopeless romantic take on love.

He thinks every next girl could be his soulmate. He professes his love far too often and far too soon. He always hopes for the best out of the relationship even if the universe is sending every sign that it’s not meant to be. And when he dives into love, he loves every girl with everything he’s got and more.

If you identify with Ted Mosby, you’ll love these quotes with all of your being just like Ted does with every new woman in his life…

“If you’re looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroys you, it’s love. And when you love someone you don’t stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes, and call you crazy. Even then. Especially then.”

“Shouldn’t we hold out for the person who doesn’t just tolerate our little quirks but actually kinda likes them?”

“Love doesn’t make sense! You can’t logic your way into or out of it. Love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it or else we’re lost and love is dead, and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do.”

“You will be shocked, kids, when you discover how easy it is in life to part ways with people forever. That’s why, when you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it.”

“You see, kids, right from the moment I met your mom I knew, I have to love this woman as much as I can, and as long as I can, and I can never stop loving her, not even for a second. I carried that lesson through every stupid fight we ever had, every 5 a.m. Christmas morning, every sleepy Sunday afternoon, every speed bump, every pang of jealousy or boredom or uncertainty that came our way. I carried that lesson with me.”

“Some couples always support each other, and some couples always challenge each other. But is one really better than the other? Yes. Support is better. Way better.”

“There are two big days in any love story: the day you meet the girl of your dreams and the day you marry her.”

“She walks down the aisle. You say your vows, you go to the reception, you have your first dance. Before you know it, just like magic, you realize, it’s a perfect fit.”

“None of us can vow to be perfect. In the end all we can do is promise to love each other with everything we’ve got.”

“You can ask the universe for signs all you want. But ultimately we only see what we want to see, when we are ready to see it.”

“If I could give up…if i could just wake the whole world’s advice and just move on and find someone else, that wouldn’t be love. That would be some other disposable thing that is not worth fighting for.”

Be a Ted Mosby this Valentine’s Day. Love with all you’ve got and put yourself out there without fear of rejection.
