While getting a gift for the person you know and love the most in the world may seem easy, every time we’re faced with an occasion that calls for a small token of our attention, it’s like our brain runs into a roadblock. As you’re procrastinating on browsing for the perfect gift, time is only getting shorter and in the end, it’s easy to end up with a gift that doesn’t represent either your feelings or the other person’s preferences. Considering that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, it’s a good idea to start thinking about what your partner would be happy to receive. To give you a bit of inspiration, below we collected a bunch of ideas, both for him and for her. Take a look!

Gift ideas for her

A comfy gift

February is still rather chilly in the Northern Hemisphere, so if you want to make your significant other’s time spent at home a bit warmer and more comfortable, think about getting her something cozy. A fluffy throw that will always remind her of you, a soft bathrobe or a cute wearable blanket will be much appreciated during the colder season. Pick her favorite color and wrap it with a bow, and your sweet gift is ready. If you want to make it a bit more unique and special, have her and your initials embroidered on it.

Jewelry is always an option

Jewelry is an evergreen Valentine’s Day gift idea that few girls will not like. That said, everyone has their own unique taste, so doing a bit of research prior to just walking into a jewelry store is highly recommended. Ask her friends about her favorite brand or what they think she would like. A staple heart necklace is hard to go wrong with, but be sure you know her favorite precious metal to wear! You can also go for an extra romantic option and get a necklace that combines both of your birthstones into one design.

Something sweet

Another staple for Valentine’s Day few people would say no to are sweets. This gift idea does not have to be boring. Today, there are numerous fun and special sweets and desserts that will delight your partner. A box of gourmet chocolates or whimsical cookies packaged in the spirit of the holiday are both cute ideas. Even if you’re in a long-distance relationship, you can choose candy delivery to her address and surprise her with a personalized message!

A personalized photo album

We are living in the era of digital photos and virtual albums, but when was the last time you looked through your photos stored on the cloud? A lot of people still prefer the old-school feel of photo albums and storing their most precious memories always at an arm’s reach. If your partner is such a sentimental person as well, getting her a personalized photo album to hold your most significant moments spent together is a great Valentine’s Day gift idea. 

Flowers with a twist

Another classic for Valentine’s Day, a bouquet of flowers, is hardly out of style even today. However, if you want to make your gift list, you might want to look into modern options that will gift her something that doesn’t die in a couple of days. For instance, preserved roses might decorate her table for years before they wilt, while getting her a unique enchanted rose ornament resembling that from the Beauty and the Beast can stand on her shelf forever.

Pamper her

The year has just started but things are already so hectic that all of us need a break. Gifting your partner an opportunity to relax completely and pamper herself is thus a thoughtful idea. There are many ways to do this: pick up a luxurious set of bath products with fun bath bombs and pampering bath oils. You can also choose quirky handmade soaps made from organic ingredients or browse the Valentine’s Day collection Lush has come up with and get a real-life heart-shaped shower jelly that is certainly a unique pick!

Overcome the distance

Another perfect gift idea for couples who may be spending their days far apart lies in gadgets that aim to overcome this distance. You can pick from wristbands that transmit one’s heartbeat, long-distance lamps that light up at a tap, or touch bracelets that vibrate, and make your partner feel closer to you every day. It’s a very romantic and meaningful gift choice that will strengthen your bond despite the distance!

Gift ideas for him

A beard grooming kit

If your partner sports a beard and puts great care into maintaining its immaculate look, a beard grooming kit is something that he will surely appreciate. A set that contains a beard wash alongside beard oil and all the tools needed to trim and groom his beard, including a brush, a comb, and a pair of scissors, leaves little to be desired. All you need to do is find a stylish kit that will sweep him off his feet, which won’t be difficult at all.

Tech accessories all the way

There are few guys out there who are not invested in the latest tech at least to a degree. This is why tech accessories are always a great gift option you can rest assured will see a lot of use. A sleek-looking wireless charger for his desk or a minimalistic case for his AirPods embellished with your monograms will both work. If he’s an active person, a waterproof Bluetooth speaker for his workout sessions or a phone holder armband for his jogs are also useful and practical gifts. If he works a lot at his desk, a smart mug that will keep his coffee hot is also fantastic.

Get playful

If both of you are the playful kind, then surprising your partner with a game of sorts might be a great idea. Today, there are many creative options to pick from. There are romantic board games, sexy card games, personalizable scavenger hunt boxes, and even fun date night idea banks that will surely bring some excitement to your days! Not only the gift itself, but the fact that you will be able to spend precious time together playing them will surely delight him!

A basket of goodness

Consumable gifts are a great option for any occasion—even more so if your partner is a fan of gourmet snacks. You can curate your own gift box by visiting specialty stores and picking out interesting products, but if you’re short on time, you can also look into premium gift baskets that are already filled to the brim with the most delicious bites. Sweet, salty, or sour, there is something for everyone. You won’t have to bother with wrapping the gift either, as these boxes usually come nicely packaged already. It’s truly a life-saver when the big day is rapidly approaching!

Spice it up

If your significant other likes to experiment in the kitchen, you can encourage this hobby of his with your Valentine’s Day gift. Surprise him with a set of high-quality or difficult-to-find spices to spice up your lives! You can look for special sets that remove the hard work from the equation, but you can also pick interesting spices one by one and place them in a set of attractive containers. It is said that certain spices act almost like aphrodisiacs, so make sure you include ginger, cayenne pepper, saffron, and cardamom for something sweet. Perhaps you can even try them out by cooking your Valentine’s Day dinner together!

Boost his comfort

We all want our significant others to feel comfortable and pain-free at all times. While this may not be possible to achieve, you can certainly help him ease his stress and tension with the help of a neck massager. If he works a lot, using his handy massager that will relax his neck and back muscles while also improving his blood flow is going to be his favorite part of his day. It’s going to be a well-loved gift for sure!

Buy an experience

What’s better than a material gift? A gift of experience, of course! If you always seem too busy to get away for the weekend and spend some time alone, getting yourselves a pair of tickets to the nearest spa resort, amusement park, or whatever floats your boat, will gift the both of you with unforgettable memories that other gifts can hardly compete with. It will give you a great excuse to get out of that boring family event and finally spend some romantic time together, too. 

While a gift is only a symbol of your adoration, seeing the genuine joy on the other person’s face when they unwrap their present is priceless. Hopefully, you managed to find something on this list that your partner would love. However, don’t despair even if your gift doesn’t elicit the reaction you were hoping for. It’s the thought that counts!
