The Best Gift Boxes for Each of the Five Love Languages
Updated by Shannon Ratliff
In 1992, a new language quietly began to circulate. First in newspaper reviews, the whispers in happy hour barrooms, then on daytime talk shows. In two years, the book that described how to relate to your loved ones through what makes them feel loved sold 137,000 copies. This is before eBooks, before podcasts, before audiobooks. This was a full-on embrace of the way we express and experience love. This was The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Dr. Gary Chapman.
You likely know the love languages already, but if you don't, you can check out our explainer here . The basic breakdown is:
Acts of Service : One feels loved when someone helps with the little things in life.
Physical Touch : One feels loved when connecting physically, from holding hands to couch-cuddling.
Quality Time : One feels loved with undivided attention and active listening.
Receiving Gifts : Also known as Gift-Giving, one feels loved when a heartfelt gift shows meaningful intention.
Words of Affirmation : One feels loved when they receive expressed affection, whether spoken or written.
Now, here are the perfect gift ideas for each that combine how they love with what they love.
