Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Love is in the air. Unless you thought you could get away with giving your significant other another teddy bear this year. Honestly, it’s cute the first time, but when they get a gift like that for the third consecutive year, they’re going to start to wonder if you actually know anything about them. If you gave another thoughtless gift this year, you deserve that night you spent on the couch! Don’t make the same mistake next year. Show you’re paying attention by giving a gift that means something to the both of you. Here’s our totally awesome, sure-fire recommendation for next year (or that impending anniversary):
- Get a digital picture frame like this one. Notice how it plays audio. This will be important.
- Upload every sweet picture of the two of you that you can find. If you don’t have any, take some! Go on a picnic or to the beach and snag a whole bunch.
- Upload “your song.” If you don’t have one, shame on you! Rectify that immediately. You can’t go wrong with old school Motown, like Marvin Gaye or Al Green. Pop in a mix CD and dance in the kitchen with your sweetie while the two of you make a romantic dinner, just because. You’ll have “your song” in no time.
- When the moment comes, wrap the picture frame up in some nice paper, put a big bow on it, and sneak it somewhere cute and surprising, like their desk at work, in their briefcase, or under their pillow.

Get ready for all the hugs and smooches you can handle as they melt all over themselves at the most thoughtful gift ever. Seeing all those sweet memories glide by on the screen, accompanied by the touching melody of “Let’s Stay Together” (or maybe some Prince, if your love is a bit more funky-freaky), well they just might forgive you for forgetting their birthday again. Just make sure to include the batteries!
