Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

 It is less than a month until Valentine’s Day. It is now the time that most people are starting to think about what to get the important people in their life for Valentine’s Day if they celebrate it.


If you don’t celebrate perhaps you choose to celebrate an I Love You day or 50% off Valentine’s Day (The day after Valentine’s, like I do!). Perhaps you have another event coming up and you are just at a loss for ideas of what to get someone. I might have a few ideas.


Not included in this collection will be the typical gifts of flowers, candy, bears, and the like. These gifts will appear to have more thought behind them. (Not that you can go wrong with these gifts, just sometimes thinking outside the box makes a difference.)


Some of the ideas may be links to items that I have listed online, which there is no obligation to purchase, but are examples to use as ideas. If you do happen to purchase something that I have listed, that is awesome too. Please let me know!

  • Clothing/Accessories

  • Books

  • Subscription Box

  • Books

  • Blankets/ Throw Pillows/ Other Comfort Items

  • Items for a hobby/career/pastime

  • Games (especially family ones that the whole family can participate in)

  • Jewelry/Accessories

As always, remember, it is the thought that counts. Every item doesn’t have to be brand new. Especially if you have environmental concerns. It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s themed either. You know your special person/people better than anyone else. Perhaps the item that you get them could be the one thing you know that they wouldn’t purchase for themselves.




What other ideas have I forgotten? What was one of the best gifts that you have received or given? What is one gift that you wish someone would give to you?
