Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Have you thought about what to give your special someone?
Now, if your sweetheart is a remote worker, this list of simple Valentine’s Day gifts might give you some ideas.
Note: To all the single ladies (and guys) don’t fret! This list is not just exclusive to couples. You can still pick one gift from this catalog as a reward for yourself this Valentine’s Day.
A Stress-Relief Candle
Remote working (or any kind of work for that matter) is stressful.
It involves dealing with a variety of people, and some tasks might not go your way.
To help alleviate stress, you can give them a variety of scented candles. Some of the recommended scents include lavender, chamomile, orange, and lemon.
Or if your remote worker is a huge fan of K-dramas and K-pop, then you might want to get them a candle that smells like their favorite actors and idols!
If they get particularly stressed over a project, they can simply light up a candle and enjoy the scent of their oppas.
Personalized Coffee Mug
It should be no surprise that many remote workers run on coffee.
The caffeinated drink is their fuel, after all.
However, make their daily caffeine fix a little more special by gifting them a customized coffee mug.
There is a range of options you can do to personalize this gift for Valentine’s Day. You can inscribe their name, a funny or inspirational quote, or even better, an inside joke on the coffee mug.
You can also have a tumbler of their favorite coffee shop customized from any online store.
Custom Travel Pillow
One of the best perks of being a remote worker is working virtually anywhere. As long as you have a reliable Internet connection and a laptop, you are good to go.
So, why not give your remote working partner a travel pillow? It’s definitely useful for those long-haul flights they might decide to go on.
What’s more, it can also double as a throw pillow for when you are sitting upright, working on your laptop.
Waterproof Laptop Bag
Speaking of laptops, these are non-negotiable for any remote worker.
And when you are telecommuting, you may want to switch locations. (It could be that you are tired of seeing the same place and need a change of scenery.)
One of the more practical Valentine’s Day gifts for her (or him!) is a laptop bag. Sure, a normal backpack might work just fine, but a laptop bag has several compartments—perfect for organization.
Oh, and make sure to get a waterproof one too! You never know what kind of situations you might get into when traveling.
Great Noise-Canceling Headphones
A remote worker usually attends virtual meetings. Like, every day.
Any sort of background noise is distracting, not only to your remote worker but to their bosses and coworkers too. So, one of the most thoughtful things you can give them is noise-canceling headphones.
Seriously, they will thank you for it.
House Plants
Plants liven up any space. A study conducted in the UK found that having greenery boosts productivity.
Thus, show them love by giving them a house plant. Some of the more in-demand species are snake plants, peace lilies, lemon balm, golden pothos, and lucky bamboo.
Further, if your remote worker successfully takes care of the plant, then it might show they care about you too.
Adorable Notepads
Another memorable yet cheap Valentine’s day gift is a personalized notepad.
As you already know, virtual employees often take down notes. (You may have to blame their meetings for that.)
Make sure they are reminded of you when they write their notes on a special notepad. You can even tuck unique messages on the corners of each page or have their initials printed on the paper.
Healthy Snack Basket
Of course, don’t forget to take care of your favorite remote worker’s health.
While sweets like cakes and chocolates are popular Valentine’s Day gifts, you can take a more unique approach.
Gift them a basket full of healthy goodies. Pack a bag of mixed nuts, a yogurt cup, kale chips, a packet of protein smoothies, and fruits.
If you really want to include some chocolate, try the healthier dark variation (with almonds!)
Cute Valentine’s Day Gifts
Many might think that Valentine’s Day is just another date on the calendar. And that you can show your love and devotion every day.
That’s true. But it is what also makes Valentine’s Day special—that out of the 365 days in a year, there is one day that you can pamper and spoil your special someone.
On that note, you might want to hop on the remote working train for more quality time with your special someone. If that’s the case, look into Remote Staff’s regularly updated job listings.
