Lego Flowers

Lego flowers are the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift. They’re cute, accessible, timeless, and fun. You can purchase these on Amazon or on the official Lego Website. You and your partner could have a whole date night built around building these. With two people, a cute movie, and the Valentine’s Day spirit, it should take around 1 – 1.5 hours to assemble. One quick tip — be sure to get your partner a vase along with the flowers if you don’t think they currently posses one.

Heated Blanket

This gift is more on the low-key side. A heated blanket is a causal, neutral gift. Its warmth and coziness will be a reminder to your partner of how much you care. Heated blankets generally range from the $20 – $100 price point.

Perfume

Do not be intimidated by perfume! While perfumes can be expensive, they don’t necessarily have to be. There are plenty of beautiful scents that are within the $30 – $50 price range, such as the Sabrina Carpenter perfume and the Sol de Janeiro body and hair mist (both available on Amazon). If those are not to your liking, you could opt for a travel size perfume or a perfume scented candle. Gifting and receiving perfume is a thoughtful, romantic gesture. It shows your partner that you put in time to find a scent for them. So again, don’t be intimidated by the price point or the gravity.

Stuffed Animal

A little cliche, but your partner will adore it. With a stuffed animal, and most gifts in general, your partner will enjoy them because you have gifted it to them. Even if you don’t think your partner is a stuffed animal kind of person, they’re probably going to love one more than you think. Sometimes you just gotta lean into the cheesy relationship stuff, and what better holiday to do so than Valentine’s Day?

Red/Pink Jewelry

Jewelry is always a nice gift to get your partner, but getting them jewelry on Valentine’s Day is especially meaningful. If you partner prefers silver or gold jewelry feel free to get them a simple necklace or bracelet (think twice about a ring!) in that color. However, if you want to get a little pendant or charm along with the chain and are unsure of what color to get, go with a pink or a red. It’ll give the ultimate Valentine’s Day feel.

A Playlist

Stop rolling your eyes at me. Look, it’s cute. I mean really, really adorable. Making someone aa thought out playlist with songs you hand picked will never not be romantic. Think about in the 80s when people would make CDs for other people. Playlist making has just evolved to online. Plus, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve already got a playlist, or at least a couple of songs, that you’re already think about.
