Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, drumrolls, and many are scrambling to find the perfect gift for their loved ones, be it a partner, family or friends.
When it comes to gifting, it is easy to focus on tangible things such as thoughtful presents, flowers and grand gestures.
While these are certainly a classic choice for showing someone that you really care for them, they don’t last for very long and are very cliche.
If you reflect on moments you’ve felt connected to your loved ones, you’ll realize that what connects you both isn’t something wrapped in fancy paper or bought at a store.
It’s time to think outside the box this Valentine’s. Should you be planning for a grand gesture gift to show love, why not make the shift from roses to real estate? I know you’re thinking to yourself that land isn’t exactly romantic, isn’t it?
Hear me out. Instead of a bouquet of roses, gift your loved ones a beautiful piece of land. Imagine gifting them something that they can truly call their own. Below I list some of the benefits of gifting land.
Firstly, land is a unique gift. Anyone can buy a bouquet of flowers for their loved ones, but, not everyone can say they own a piece of land or expanded their real estate assets. Now remember that land is a gift that will keep on giving if utilised well.
Whoever you choose to gift land to, will keep on enjoying its perks for many years to come. Pick wisely: a property that will offer your loved one numerous benefits for years or flowers that wilt in a week and gifts that are subject to wear and tear and could be stored away.
The second benefit is that everyone knows land is a great investment. Roses will make them smile for the moment, but land wields the potential to make them smile for decades to come.
Maybe, in the future, the little plot of land you purchased will turn into a thriving business, minting cash that can buy flowers daily for years. Better yet, your loved one could retire early, swim in profits and bouquets of flowers from this investment.
Now, this is not exactly to say that buying land as a Valentine’s gift doesn’t have its own cons. At first instance, it is not exactly the most exciting thing to unwrap, right? Your loved one will even be slightly confused at first and you might need to do some explanation of your thought process.
Secondly, you could end up putting your money on land in the middle of nowhere that nobody wants. That is why you need to conduct your research very well and choose a beautiful piece of land at a desirable location, where your loved one will be impressed to call their own property.
