5 Valentine's Gifts For The Love Interest

With Valentine's Day around, people are giving gifts to their loved ones. Or, you know, the person they like like. But Valentine's Day doesn't have to only be for the lovebirds, it can be for us authors too. Does your character have a love interest? Here's some great gifts to give them!

Warning: There may be sarcasm ahead.

Love interests get kidnapped a lot. Why? I don't know. But often, the love interest is too helpless to defend against their kidnappers. So why not give them house alarms to give warning when their house is broken into? It might give the love interest and their family enough time to hide from the to-be kidnappers. Maybe they'll simply evacuate their house instead, just in case they can't defend themselves.

2. A Bodyguard.

On the topic of defence, it might be a good idea to give the love interest a bodyguard. Or two. Or three. Or even better, a whole squadron! Love interests seem to have a sign floating around of them saying, USE ME AS BAIT. In neon letters, of course. With this blatant announcement, the love interest should have some form of protection which will obviously come in the form of a handsome, kicking-backsides person. They'll probably be dark and mysterious too. But no matter what type of person their bodyguard is, the bodyguard should be extremely competent at their job, giving the main character a rival for their love interest.

Oh yeah, don't forget that their main job is to protect the love interest.

3. Life insurance.

While house alarms and bodyguards are all good, batteries can go flat and bodyguards can die, or worse, turn out to be a traitor. So the love interest dies and leaves the main character alone. Yes, the main character is now alone. Without a love interest. Disaster

Thankfully, the love interest should have life insurance, entrusting everything they've ever had to, yep, the main character. It's sorta like compensation. On one hand, the main character gets their love, but on the other hand, they get cash. Other stuff too, but mostly a lot of cash.

4. Anti-stalker spray.

What's a love interest without the main character stalking them? It might be rephrased as getting to know them or maybe even protecting them. Sorry, that's the bodyguard's job. The love interest needs anti-stalker spray. It gives the almost-love dovies the reason for falling in love. Obviously, starting out hating each other eventually becomes true love. The main character and the love interest are just meant to be. It's written in destiny and can't be revoked.

5. A life.

You'd never have guessed it, but love interests seriously need to get a life besides mooning over the main character. Sure, life insurance is great and all, but while the love interest is still alive, it's a good idea to give them, oh I don't know, some hobbies and a personality. I hear they're cheap over at Gumtree. Who knows, maybe the love interest might take up self defence and won't need a bodyguard.

Personally, I advise purchasing all five of these for your main character's love interest. However, I understand it can be too complicated for the readers or add unnecessary drama to you. That's fine. Love interests don't really need all this stuff.
