When it comes to buying gifts for your significant other on Valentine’s Day, it’s good to be on top of things and plan ahead. Thanks to the internet (we love you interwebz!), gift giving is easier than ever. You don’t even need to leave the house!
By ordering now, you’ll avoid the usual V-Day panic (you know what I’m talking about). But what if you’re tired of giving the same old, same old?
For some gift inspo, check out our budget-friendly Valentine’s Day gift guide. Whether you want to be more traditional, or super romantic, we’ve got you covered!
Traditional
Below are some not-so-basic ways to give traditional Valentine’s Day gifts:
Chocolates
Is your partner a chocoholic? Instead of giving a box of chocolates, change it up a bit. Go to your local candy shop to buy a few candy bars that are popular in other parts of the world. You’ll both have a blast trying new candy! Don’t know what to get? We’re in love with Kinder Bueno (Germany), Aero Bars (U.K.), and Lion Bars (U.K.).
Love to bake? Consider making your own chocolate and candy instead.
Flowers
Who says flowers are only for girls? If your boyfriend or husband loves the smell of your perfume, he’ll most likely love the smell of flowers too. Choose something that you know will look great at home or even something sentimental like a bouquet similar to your wedding bouquet.
If you’re looking to make a bold statement, get your flowers delivered to your partners work place. You could even get them delivered a few days earlier than the day itself to let them know you couldn’t wait to treat them!
To make your life easier, order your flowers online with Fresh Flowers. Not only does Fresh Flowers offer a wide rang of stunning bouquets, but they also stock many other gifts. Since they have same-day delivery, they might be your lifesaver.
Think flowers are too pricey? If you’ve been together for five years or less, send a rose for every year you’ve been together (so’cute)! It’ll be cheaper that a whole bouquet, and the romance level is sky-high.
Soft Toys
Instead of buying a cute teddy bear, consider getting your partner something a bit more meaningful and useful. Like a pillow! Society6 has a great selection of pillows that will liven up any home. How can you say no to a panda or Totoro pillow?
Romantic
Want an extra dose of romance on Valentine’s Day? Consider one of these options:
Movie Night
Consider having an at-home movie night. Buy some popcorn, order a pizza, and watch a movie on Netflix. What’s more romantic than cuddling?
DIY
Get creative by making your gift this year. Make a really nice card, make dinner, make a candle that smells like pine, or just write what you love about your partner on post-it notes and stick them all over their bedroom or car.
Unique
Who says Valentine’s Day has to be all about stuffed animals and candy? Here are a few gift ideas for the unique couple:
Food
If you’re a food loving couple, consider giving the gift of home cooking with Blue Apron. This awesome company sends you all the ingredients to make a variety of different dishes.
Fashion
Does your boyfriend care about his wardrobe? If so, consider giving him a watch. It’s not cute (or cuddly), but it is useful! He’ll also never be later for a date again — J/K!
We’re currently loving the watches from BREDA — they’re affordable and stylish. You can find sleek watches for as low as $39!
Photos
Do you both love Instagram? Print Studio allows you to turn your favorite Instagram photos into framed photos, posters, T-shirts, and even mini books! All for a good price.
