Love Language Gifts
When it comes to gifts, it’s the thought that counts most of all.
But we all know the difference between a good reaction and a great reaction from a gift recipient. So If you want to treat your other half to a gift, we want to help you nail it. One way to find gift inspiration for your partner is to reflect on their love languages. Everyone’s love languages are different. It’s important to be mindful of this when choosing a gift for your partner.
What are the 5 languages of love?
The five love languages is a concept developed by Baptist minister Gary Chapman. It outlines five different ways that partners express and experience love. The five love languages are:
- Words of affirmation
- Quality time
- Gifts
- Acts of service
- Physical touch
Most people feel represented by one to two of the love languages. For example, they might show their love through words of affirmation, but experience love when you show them acts of service. Start to think about your partner’s love languages and how your gift can align with them.
