Top Valentine’s Day gift ideas for him and her

Sometimes, the most thoughtful gifts are the ones you make yourself.

• Homemade sangria kit. For a fun boozy gift, try putting together a homemade sangria kit. You’ll just need a pitcher, red or white wine and some fruit to set the stage for a fun and creative Valentine’s Day gift.
• Rustic chic picture frame. Get your hot glue gun out for this one. Make an open-concept picture frame by attaching four pieces of wood and then stapling two pieces of string across the back. Add decorative clothespins with photos of you and your love and decorate it any which way you like for a sweet and inexpensive DIY gift.
• Homemade cookies. Classic is sometimes just what you need, and there’s nothing like the smell of warm cookies filling the house. If you’re not a pro-baker, pick up a cookie recipe book from Amazon and get to work.

• Graphic tee. Why not get your significant other something they can actually use, like a t-shirt? Make it personal by picking one they’ll really get excited about – whether they’re a Star Wars enthusiast or a unicorn lover.
• Dogs on socks. Does your special someone have a doggo they absolutely adore? Gift them a pair of ultra-trendy socks with a picture of their dog plastered all over them.
• Star Wars cuff links. Gift your partner this pair of cuff links that feature an interaction that’s as romantic as it is iconic.

For a loved one who’s not quite the flowers, chocolate and romance type, try one of these unique gifts.

• Board games. Gift your sweetie a board game, and you’ll have a brand-new activity that the two of you can enjoy together. Skip traditional games like Monopoly and get a game like What Do You Meme? or Wit’s End for a night of fun and laughs. Or if you really want to heat things up, get a flirty “adult” card game and see where the night takes you.
• A surprise vacation. If you really want to spice it up, book an increasingly popular mystery vacation. You pick the budget and the dates and find out where you’re going once you get to the airport.
• Pancake batter mixer. Your partner might be wondering what this gift is all about, but they’ll be in heaven when they wake up to pancakes in bed.

• A copy of your favorite book. This one is easy and romantic. Pick up a copy of your favorite book and gift it to your love with a personalized message written inside the front cover.
• A succulent. Pick up a small succulent and a cool pot and have fun planting and taking care of it together.
• A framed photo. This is a super sweet and easy gift that can pack a big punch. Grab a frame and have a photo of the two of you together printed out. Or, better yet, have the photo printed on canvas or wood.

• Flower delivery. It’s hard to maintain a strong relationship if you feel disconnected from your partner. Help them feel a little closer to you by ordering flowers to their home or work. It’ll make your partner feel special and like you’re involved in their day-to-day life.
• Key chain. We use keys every day, so buying a key chain is a good way to give your partner a daily reminder of how much you love them. This couple’s key chain from Etsy is perfect for long-distance relationships.
• A dual zone watch. If you live between time zones, you know how annoying it is to constantly calculate the time difference. A dual zone watch is a thoughtful gift that’ll solve this problem.
