11 Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Are you having trouble finding the perfect Valentine's Day gift this year? Valentine's Day can be tough when it comes to surprising your significant other (or yourself) with the perfect gift. For some, it has to show how much you care, and in other cases, how much you know about that person. Whether you've been dating for a few weeks or over a year, it will always be difficult finding that lovely present. Here are a few ideas on how to surprise your love this Feb. 14.

1. Flowers

Without a doubt, I can tell you that every gender loves the thoughtfulness of flowers. I know that on this day roses are the first choice, but any kind of flower works. Try even buying them in their favorite color!

2. Chocolate

Did you know that in the ancient times of Mayan and Aztec cultures, cocoa beans were used as currency? What would be a better gift than the sweet taste of melting chocolate and a little bite of history?

3. A Handwritten Love Letter

From my own personal experience, receiving and giving handwritten letters creates such a great feeling. It displays your love by putting time and effort in showing how much you care with your own words rather than a store-bought card.

4.) An Engraved Pocket Knife

If you're a lady having trouble finding your gentleman a good gift, just remember, "Boys will be boys," and boys love sharp things. What better way to show how much you care than by getting him something useful and thoughtful with his name on it? This can even go for girls if you know she needs something handy!

5. Gift Basket

If you feel like being extra generous by putting together your lover's favorite things, then turning them into a gift basket can be an amazing option and a creative way to show off your decorating skills!

6. Clothes

The best part about buying someone clothing is seeing them wearing it. If you have always wanted to see the person you love in something they might not pick first, here's your chance to introduce them to a new style! Even if they end up not liking it, it's the thought that counts.

7. Massages

Sometimes the best gift is the gift of relaxation. Both of you deserve a day to get those knots out and enjoy a nice massage. Valentine's Day is all about love and no worries.

8. Concert/Game Tickets

Your partner may be really into an artist or sports team — what better way to surprise him/her than by getting tickets to see them live?

9. Dinner


Whether it's homemade or a night out, food is always the key to someone's heart.

10. Gift Cards

It can be super difficult picking out gifts, so why not give them the choice? If you feel uncomfortable narrowing it down, let your partner pick out what's best for them.

11. Kisses!

This may not be a great gift on its own, but kisses are always an alternative way of showing someone how much you truly love them. Shower your partner with kisses on Valentine's Day this year!

I hope you found this list helpful if you were contemplating how to make your partner smile on this holiday. If you want to add to this list please, comment below — you may be able to help other people with their gift ideas!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
