Love is in the air! About a month left to Valentine’s Day and it’ll be a little different this year of course. Valentine’s Day is a hit or miss. Some people go all out and some people can’t be bothered. My husband and I are in-between. We celebrate but it’s never some grand thing. We do dinner and exchange a practical gift!

Celebrating love is always fun! I usually get my mama and mother in law flowers and a box of chocolates. If I see my niece, I’ll get her a little Valentine too. My nephew can’t be bothered.

Here are the best Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas 2021:

Back Massager

Okay, I started off strong with this one but for some reason, it was the first thing that came to mind! I would love a back massager for Valentine’s Day (hint if my husband is reading this)

Chocolates and Treat Boxes

Chocolates are a go-to for any holiday and usually, small businesses and bakeries set up cute Valentine’s themed goodies.

Jewelry and Watches

A great time to add to a jewelry collection. Totally doesn’t have to be expensive and can be a fashion piece.

Cookware and Home Decor

I’m big on practical gifts and I love adding beautiful pieces to my kitchen! Here are my favs. Hoping to purchase the knife set soon.

Mug

Does your S/O keep a mug collection? Time to add another one haha

Perfume

Love perfume as a gift! The CK One I’ve linked was my first expensive perfume as a teen. My aunt bought me this as a gift for Christmas and when I saw it on Amazon, I knew I had to share! I’ve also heard really good things about the Katy Perry one.

Wine

If you S/O’s a wine drinker, grab them a bottle or two to enjoy with them!

Airbnb Experience

This is by far my favourite thing to gift. I love gifting experiences. I grew up in a fairly traditional Filipino family so when I started doing this, people did not understand what kind of gift this was. Now, my family is starting to get it! The cool thing about Airbnb Online Experience is you can take a class taught from anywhere! Imagine trying to make authentic Italian pasta taught by nonna!

Framed Photo

Took some cute pictures recently? Grab a nice frame or even an affordable one from your Dollarstore and put in your pictures!

Wallet/Cardholder

My cardholders are used the most and they get worn out the easiest! My favourite is the Michael Kors one. I’ve had my Michael Kors cardholder in black for 2 years now.

Bedding

I love new bedding! The best present ever. Brownie points for extra soft items!

Tray of Desserts

Seek local dessert companies and purchase a nice tray to enjoy after dinner!
Some local companies near me are https://www.justcakesbc.com/, http://stuffiespastries.com/, https://guildford.originalcupcakes.com/.

Even if you don’t go all out on Valentine’s day, I hope you get to do something small! Even if it’s a GAL-entine’s day or giving the little kiddos in your life chocolate! There’s so much to love in life and it’s fun to celebrate love. Hope you loved my Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas!

  1. These are all such great Valentine’s Day gift ideas! I love valentines day. I love adding soft touches of pink everywhere in the house for it!

  2. Thank you so much for sharing these lovely gift ideas. I know this post is going to help a lot of men out here who are probably clueless on what to buy or may be waiting until the last minute.

    Every item you listed is something I think we all would appreciate. I love new bedding and it’s really gift for the both of you.

    xo Erica

  4. Haha. My significant other are the same when it comes to Valentines Day. It’s usually dinner and a small gift… this may also be because my birthday is so close lol. These are great idea you really found some gems on Amazon!

  7. These are some great ideas that I’m sure everyone would love to receive! Thanks so much for sharing! X

  8. These are all amazing gift ideas Lynn! The cookware, home decor and the perfumes are my favorite. I love the mug too haha. I love this post as it will really give an idea to completely clueless people who do not know what to get their partner/loved ones for valentine. Thanks for sharing x!

  10. Great ideas Lynn. To be completely honest I haven’t even started thinking about Valentine’s day… I guess I’d better start! I like the idea of new, soft bedding! And I’m all about the experiences as well. Thanks for the kick in the pants, I’d better get a move on. It takes so long for things to be delivered out here!

  11. I love flowers, but all of your Valentine’s Day gift ideas are great! Can’t go wrong with chocolate, either! One year we made our own chocolate covered strawberries. It was a fun activity with yummy results!

  12. I love these Valentine’s day gift idea! Flowers and chocolates are top, but are we talking about an Air BnB experience, yes please! Thanks for sharing Lynn x

  13. Great gift ideas! We don’t really do Valentine’s Day but I might suggest doing something nice at home this year considering the year we’ve all had! x

  14. I guess part of me is dreading Valentine’s Day as I can’t see my boyfriend (bloody Corona…) but I am excuted to see what he sends me– and these are some fantastic gift ideas! It can be tricky to choose the right gift, so I love this x

  15. I did not know Airbnb did online experiences!! Thanks for sharing, I might just pop over there and see what they have!

  16. Yes, we do celebrate Valentine day, as my husband had proposed me on this day, I loved all the gifts, but just like you, I would like to have the back massager:)

  18. Hey, great gift ideas hun! I’m not overly into Valentines but after the year we’ve all had I think it would be nice to show someone you love them ❤️

  19. To me, chocolates, desserts, flowers, and handmade things are the best gift ideas for V Day. I prefer to be humble for V Day. jewelleries are to luxury. It is good for birthdays.

  20. I love this post! I think the best kind of presents for Valentines are the sentimental ones like the frames you’ve mentioned or something you make yourself xx

  21. We are all about gifting experiences in our house. While there are certain material things that we each want (and need) from time to time, we prefer to focus on spending our time together as a ‘pack’. We often gift one another camping trips or gear necessary for upcoming gifts. Camping and hiking is a big favourite.
    That being said, we really COULD use some new bedding. I have been hinting that to my husband for a little while now… lol

  22. It will probably sound bad, but I don’t do anything for my husband on Valentine’s Day. I do buy something small for each of my kids though. I really like the card holder you included though. Gift to myself?

  24. Thanks for sharing these! I always really struggle with what to get my boyfriend as I feel I always do the same things!

  25. These are such great ideas for Valentine’s Day! We haven’t done anything for Valentine’s Day since the early days in our marriage, but I do like to bake cookies or something to acknowledge the day. Thanks for sharing!

  29. Great post! You’ve shared some great ideas. I love chocolates but my favourite is the Airbnb experience, I think experiences and time together is so much better than any gift.

  30. I love the things you’ve shared! I like the card holder idea, it’s simple but effective. 🙂

    xoxo Simone

  31. All the gifts on your list are so stylish and useful! I love the idea of giving chocolates, a framed photo, or a mug. I received a beautiful photo frame once; I still treasure it and think of my friend every time I see it. 🙂

    1. Yes! I gave my parents beautifully framed photos for Christmas and my nieces and nephews have given me framed photos in the past. Truly a sentimental gift. x

  32. Great ideas! So many classic gifts you cannot go wrong with. I would love a back massager right about now as the work from home life has not been kind to my back/neck/shoulders. And I would never say no to chocolates or flowers!

  34. This is such a great list of gift. Thank you so much Lynn. I would definitely refer to this list on every valentine’s day. XOXO

  35. Some fab ideas here to cover a variety of budgets too! My boyfriend and I aren’t huge on Valentine’s and we’ll be in lockdown so can’t go out anywhere, but will try and make it special somehow!

  37. Oh I never received Valentine gifts lol ~ but I would like to get mug, chocolate or flowers 😀 These are some lovely ideas Lynn. LOVE it xxx

  39. I haven’t even begun to think about Valentine’s Day this year! I love the MK purses, might have to put this under my man’s nose!

    Rosie

  40. That cardholder from Michael Kors is something I wouldn’t mind getting. After some years, my collections of cards has grown a lot.

  43. great gift ideas! i’m super excited for valentines day!

  46. I really like your gift ideas. My favorite is the back massager. My upper back and shoulders are always tensed and this might make me feel better. So actually, it’s a gift for myself ?! Self-care is not selfish.

  47. These are all great ideas! Not only for Valentine’s day, but surely other celebrations too! I have the back massager and it works great! Especially for writers who spend hours in a bad position ?

  48. I have no idea what I’ll be getting my partner for Valentine’s Day, but this post has at least given me some food for thought

  49. These are great ideas! I don’t normally celebrate Valentine’s Day with my husband, but I always like the idea of exchanging some fun gifts.

  50. I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s day but ngl imma buy most of these things for myself haha, especially that cute necklace! Thank you for sharing.

  51. I keep forgetting about Valentine’s Day. It is that time already?! Love that there are many different gift ideas. You can never go wrong with treats or self-care products. There are so many different nice perfumes out there. I might as well start a collection lol. I’ve been looking at cardholders lately!! Seems like a great idea to keep things to a minimum :). Thanks for sharing these gift ideas!

    Nancy ✨

  52. I love these ideas. Valentines Day always seems to sneak up on me, so I’m grateful for this post as it’s reminded me it’s not too far away! I’d be grateful to receive pretty much anything from your list. I do like the idea of gifting experiences though. And I’m a big fan of supporting small businesses, so something from them would always been an added bonus x

  53. Such a great post ?. I really like all these gift ideas especially the jewelry, the back massage and the wine ?. This is gonna be helpful to those who having a bit of a hard time finding a gift for their partners.

  54. Love all the pink and hearts designs it’s so cute! Love that you buy for others as well, after all, it’s not just about being in a relationship as such. But it’s really sweet when you are, kind of sad that I am single this year – oh well I’ll treat myself hahah!! I realised this recently, I love when a guy buys me flowers or chocolates then I thought – there’s nothing to say I can’t do this myself?!!

    1. Aw! That’s okay! To me, Valentine’s Day really is focused on having a partner. I’ve celebrated with a group of girlfriends, my mom, and little kiddos in my life in the past. and TOTALLY!! I love picking up my own flowers and chocolates haha x

  55. These are great ideas! Me and my boyfriend don’t do much for Valentine’s Day either, but I NEED the back massager!

  56. Really lovely Valentine’s day gift ideas. I love the perfume, Jewelry, desert, flowers, chocolates or wine. I really hope I get something this year ? but if I don’t I may as well get something for myself. Thanks for sharing.

  57. Thank you so, so much for posting this! I’m great with giving spontaneous gifts but whenever there is like a special occasion my mind goes blank! It must be the pressure to make it right, you now? I will bookmark this to keep it close at hand 🙂

  58. These suggestions are great! With Valentines Day so close to the the holidays these suggestions helped me think of more than just candy or flowers ??

  59. Some fab ideas! Chocolates, flowers or a cute soppy card are always a winner for me.

    Emma

  60. Great ideas! You can never go wrong with chocolate but the Air BnB would be brilliant right about now. A short isolated break not too far from home would be perfect. Thanks for the ideas,

  61. Some amazing ideas here – you can’t go wrong with baking and flowers!

  62. This list is so great! I’d love a back massager (my nan actually got my Grandad one for Christmas)! And that Michael Kors pink card holder is beaut – I have one from Coach (got it on sale in TK Maxx years ago) that I love!

    Katie

  63. what a great post! I got a neck massager for Christmas – honestly it is the best thing for pain!

  72. With most of the world hunkered down at the moment, your gift list is ideal.

    New bedding for Valentines Day – Yes Please!

    But imagine being able to gift an experience (your airbnb experiences) you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. One you may have thought otherwise unobtainable because of costs or location. Double yes! ✨
