Why 5 Senses Gifts?
The senses play a vital role when it's the case of lovers or partners. Their smell, the way they touch us, and the way we see them is something that forms the basis of our feelings for them. Things that appeal to his senses are what we select when we are buying something for him. Don’t you often cook or order you husband’s favourite foods or get his favourite dessert from that shop that he likes? That’s because satisfying his senses is another way of showing him that you love him.
What Can Be Given as 5 Senses Gifts?
The five senses gift is one of the most charming gift concepts.
Five senses gifts can include anything that appeals to your husband’s senses. Gifts that excite him visually, or cater to his tastes can all be categorized under five senses gift. A box of his favourite flavor of cupcakes, a bottle of cologne that he likes, a beautiful painting, a great pair of headphones or a soft cashmere sweater that he finds uber comfortable, are all gifts that appeal to his senses. Loving him is all about satisfying his sensory needs. Therefore the gifts that you need to pick are things which make him feel comfortable, loved and happy.
Guidelines to Get the 5 Senses Gift Ideas Right
Appeal to your love's sense of sight, touch, sound, taste, and smell when you give them a gift they will never forget! The senses play a very important role in any relationship.
Guielines For Choosing Romantic And Thoughtful 5 Senses Gifts
- A Perfect Fit: Seeing our loved ones and feel their loving touch, hearing their voice is so special. We associate certain smells with certain people. The perfume which our mother used all her life is something we associate with her presence. Similarly the woody aroma of a particular brand of cigarettes may remind us of our father; the smell of certain spices or hair oil, may bring back fond memories of childhood spent with our grandmother. Therefore pick a gift that personifies his essence.
- Use Your Creativity: To truly give a pleasant surprise to all of his five senses, you have to think up a gift which is unique. Pick gifts which excite and comfort him. For example, you could pick up a soft fleece blanket that is big enough to cuddle under, or a set of aromatherapy candles in a flavor which is distinct but delicious like chocolate flavor candles for instance. You could give him a recording of nature sounds that he likes, may it be the sound of rain, chirping of birds or the sound of the ocean. Gift him some delicious chocolates in a flavor that he likes. You could pick chili or mint flavoured ones, or maybe with a hint of orange flavor in it. Gift him a beautiful poster or artwork for to brighten up his workspace or bedroom wall.
- Add a Touch of Surprise: You know what your husband likes and the things that most appeal to him. But it’s always fun to switch up the gifts. A great idea is to build a gift basket containing things that satisfy his senses. You could also dedicate a whole day for this. Take him out for a gastronomic surprise or cook up a wonderful meal for him at home. You could go for a wine tasting session, a chocolate making workshop or a food festival. Get him scented candles or a bottle of cologne containing notes of his favourite aroma. If he is fond of art or photography take him to an exhibition at a gallery. If he is a movie buff or likes plays, book tickets for a show. Book him a relaxing massage at a spa or spend some erotic time at the bedroom. You could use sexual aids like massage oils, handcuffs, blindfold and feathers. Wear some sexy lingerie and use satin sheets for extra pleasure. Play some of his favourite music or dedicate a song for him on the radio.
