My Favorite Gifts for Valentine’s Day

My Favorite Gifts for Valentine’s Day

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I wanted to put together a gift guide for my favorite gifts for Valentine’s Day, including a whole round-up of Galentine’s Day gifts for the gals in your life! Because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a special gift from that special someone? (Friends and romantic partners included!)

My husband and I typically go pretty simple when celebrating Valentine’s Day. A card exchange, a nice dinner out, and maybe some flowers and chocolates (for me) and a batch of homemade brownies or speciality whiskey (for him). Some years we go on a weekend getaway trip! It really depends on what else is going on in our lives, and if we have the time (and funds!) to go all out or take it easy.

This is an “easy” year, so in that vein, I put together gift ideas for “him” and for “her” that will make your loved one feel special without breaking the bank. Let this upcoming Valentine’s Day be stress-free so you can focus on what really matters - the love you share with the people in your life.

Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas (for her):

  • Monthly flower delivery subscription (I love UrbanStems)

  • Specialty chocolates (Vosges Haut-Chocolate are so chic)

  • SKIMS pajama set

  • A curated date night (I love the brand Loved and Found - check out their “Pizza Night” gift box)

  • The Stanley Cross Bottle (the burgundy color feels especially “Valentine’s Day” themed)


Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas (for him):

  • A board game to play together (our favorite two-player game is Azul)

  • Solid Fragrance from Fulton & Roark (it’s like a balm vs. a spray - I love the Calle Ocho scent on my husband)

  • Gift Certificate for a 60- or 90-minute massage

  • Special delivery from Buckeye Brownies (his stomach will eternally thank you)

  • Heated weighted neck pad (we have to call dibs on this one)

Now if you’re like me, you also want to celebrate those special friendships in your life. Because life is just better when it includes wine nights with your girlfriends. Galentine’s Day (typically celebrated on February 13th) is the perfect excuse to do so!

Here is a round-up of my favorite gift ideas for your gals.

No matter what your Valentine’s Day looks like, I hope you feel loved and enjoy celebrating the love in your life (whatever it may look like!) And, hey, there are no rules preventing you from buying one of these gifts for yourself! You deserve it!
