When it comes to Valentine’s Day and the art of gift giving, it really is the thought that counts.

The key to romance and getting your Valentine’s Day gift right isn’t necessarily the most expensive piece of jewelry or dinner, it’s showing that you listen and can be thoughtful… Which, confusingly, could also mean expensive jewelry.

Do you still have no idea? Here are some tips.

Make something. If you know you can, and you know it’s something that will impress, you really will. It shows you put thought and effort into your gift. And you didn’t leave it to the last minute. Maybe it’s food. Maybe you know how to repair something with sentimental value. You can’t go wrong in the thought that counts department.

Maybe you just need to keep it simple? A single rose with a card that says how you really feel. Anyone will appreciate that. It’s a classic for a reason and will save you from the potential of a gift that misses the mark.

Get something personalized. Almost anything can be personalized. Does your valentine have a passion, get them a personalized gift that relates to that. It shows you care about what they care about and makes you a part of that.

Focus on experiences. Do something memorable. That’s where Hornblower comes in. What can be more romantic than a New York Dinner cruise, or brunch cruise?
