Surprise your special someone with a gift that will ignite his 5 senses. It could be for Valentine’s Day, birthday, or even an anniversary. The idea is to give them a gift that appeals to their five senses of smell, sight, sound, touch, and taste. Your significant other will appreciate the extra effort you took to spoil them.
So you like the idea but unsure where to start? I am sharing some of my favorite gift ideas in every category to help you decide on the perfect combination.
5 Senses Gift Idea
Let’s face it, men can be harder to buy for than the ladies. A go-to for us is simply flowers and chocolate. There isn’t a go-to for guys. Plus most guys will just go out and get something for themselves when they really want it. I love the fives senses gift idea because it is almost like a challenge. Finding just the right gift in each category can be exciting. It doesn’t have to be expensive either because you can make or buy presents to satisfy any budget.
Supplies
What’s great about this is that supplies are minimal. You can use some fun wrapping paper like brown kraft paper, a gift basket, or gift bags. You may also want some ribbon, tags, and a sharpie. Since I can’t get enough of buffalo plaid lately, I decided to use this pattern with the red truck theme. I used the cricut to cut out the red truck and hearts and found all the ribbon at a local Joann’s store. Not crafty or short on time, check out these printables at The Dating Divas and Prints of Life.

Taste
You know what they always say, that the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. To this day I am convinced that is how I won my hubby’s heart. He came over for dinner with a few friends and I had heard that he had a big appetite. So no joke, I made 4 family size boxes of mac & cheese and grilled 20 brats. It was love at first taste!
