Love is in the air! As well as an adorable Valentine’s Day card, why not give your special someone a totally unique gift this year? Whether you’ve been together for 4 years or 40 years, a loving, thoughtful gift will always go down a treat, and remind them of how much they mean to you.
When choosing the perfect gift, it is, of course, important to consider the recipients’ personality, their interests, and even their goals in order to find the right match. Picking out a unique gift may be easier said than done, so, in this post, we’ve curated our favorite personalized Valentine’s Day gift ideas, from the adventurous to the heartwarming!
The personalized Valentine’s Day gifts mentioned in this list are not reserved only for significant others – they’re great for friends and family members, too!
Charming Customized Jewelry or Watches
Gifting them a lovely piece of jewelry is an ideal way to express your love and appreciation. Whenever they wear it, they’ll think of you! We really like the idea of customizing their jewelry, to make it extra special.
At Zazzle, we offer a wide selection of high-quality, customizable jewelry including earrings, bracelets, and charms. Some personalized cufflinks or a tie clip makes for a meaningful, yet stylish gift. If jewelry isn’t exactly their thing, try a personalized watch!
Another great idea is gifting them jewelry featuring their birthstone. We love this customizable birthstone necklace from Uncommon Goods (you could also add the birthstones of your children or other loved ones to this piece!)
Perfectly Personalized Home Décor
It’s said that home is where the heart is, so why not give your Valentine a wonderful piece of custom home décor? A monogrammed fleece blanket or throw pillow will help them feel extra cozy as they snuggle up at the end of the day! Complement the coziness with a custom mug, too!
Another idea we like is to create a customized picture frame or photo plaque to showcase your precious memories together. If your gift recipient is an established homecook, or an aspiring one, some classy, engraved kitchen utensils or a fun, custom apron is the perfect choice!
Or, you could treat them to a new piece of art for their wall; whether that be a classic fine-art print they’ve always loved, or something more quirky and abstract. A custom home décor gift is a sure-fire way to make their house feel even more like a home!
The Gift of an Excellent Experience
Sometimes, a material item isn’t what the recipient wants the most. In those cases, giving a relaxing or fun experience is an amazing way to show them some love, and we’ve got some great ideas for you! If an artist they enjoy is playing a concert soon, go get them some tickets. If they’re in need of some rest and relaxation, book a couple’s massage or spa day to give them the ultimate stress-reducing experience.
If your Valentine lives for the thrill, you could take them skydiving, or on a hot-air balloon ride! If there’s a place they’ve always wanted to visit, why not take them on a weekend trip, and book a nice hotel?
We also love the idea of giving them a chance to learn more in an area that they’re interested in – perhaps a cocktail-making class, an improv class, a yoga class, or a water aerobics session!
Darling DIY Gifts
When it comes to gift-giving, we believe the only requirement is that it comes from the heart. You don’t always need to spend a lot of money to make your special someone smile. In fact, they might be even more appreciative of a gift you made yourself! Sometimes, you just can’t beat handmade presents, so, we’ve also got some awesome DIY unique Valentine’s Day gifts to share with you.
Make your recipient a piece of art! Try your hand at painting, drawing, pottery, or digital artwork. You could also take it a step further and put your art on a custom puzzle. Double the personalized gift in the form of one!
If the way to their heart is through their stomach, now’s the perfect time to roll up your sleeves and bake something in the kitchen! Whether their favorite treats are cookies, cupcakes, or scones, they’re guaranteed to appreciate this delicious gift!
To make your baked goods look extra fancy, why not create some personalized labels for the packaging?
Another thoughtful idea is to make them a personalized playlist or mixtape! Get your DJ on, and add the songs that are special to them, as well as some new songs they might enjoy.
Superb Subscription Gifts
Subscription gifts are the gifts that (literally) keep on giving! If you’re searching for a gift for someone who seems to already have everything, gifting them a subscription service could be just the ticket. With so many different types of subscription services available, there’s truly something for everybody. A monthly delivery of a beautiful bouquet of flowers is a sweet way to brighten up their day! If they’re a foodie, why not sign them up for a subscription of exciting, gourmet foods to try?
Another smart idea is to get them a subscription to a streaming service they enjoy, or a new one they haven’t tried yet! If you’re feeling fancy, why not explore the idea of a wine subscription service? A coffee subscription service can help their early mornings feel a little less tiring! If they’re into beauty products, a monthly skincare or makeup subscription box could be ideal.
We sincerely hope that our guide has helped you get an idea for a unique, personalized gift this Valentine’s Day! We encourage you to think outside the box when it comes to gift-giving, and, above all, it’s key to consider the passions, interests, and goals of your loved ones when it comes to picking a gift that they will truly appreciate and cherish.
At Zazzle, we believe that unique, handmade, or customized gifts can definitely be more meaningful than other generic options. Be sure to check out our fabulous selection of personalized Valentine’s Day gifts, if you haven’t already!
