Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and even though many couples opt out of doing big gifts, we still recommend showing up with something other than a bouquet of grocery store flowers. We’ve rounded up a few gifts that are unique, thoughtful, and show you care without being completely corny.
Classic Love Stories Set
The perfect gift for the book lover in your life, this set of romances features classics from Austen, Brontë, García Márquez, and Tolstoy. The books are heirloom-quality hardbacks published by Everyman’s Library, and custom jackets feature a beautiful 19th-century illustration of the Queen of Hearts. Personalize the gift with a custom book band for just $20.
You & Me Double Old Fashioned Glasses
This set of "Me and You" glasses is perfect for morning juice or afternoon spritzers. Add just the right amount of whimsy to any occasion.
Soapply
Spread love, not germs this Valentine's Day with Soapply, a New York-based brand that offers expertly crafted soap in a minimalistic chic, recycled glass bottle. Made with food-grade organic oils, no parabens, no sulfates, no artificial colorants, and no synthetic fragrances, Soapply is perfect for even the most sensitive skin. And the best part? With every purchase, you help support water, sanitation, and hygiene initiatives around the world. Available for one-time purchases or on a subscription basis.
Big Agnes Dream Island 15 Double Sleeping Bag
You share the outdoors with the one you love, so why not your sleeping bag? The Big Agnes Dream Island 15 sleeping bag provides a unique draping effect just like the comforter on your bed at home.
Broc Cellars Love Rosé Blend
Don't get roses, get rosé. This version from Northern California's Broc Cellars is created from biodynamically grown grapes (meaning no pesticides). Plus, the bottle has hearts on it, so romance.
A Card That Will Make Them LOL
Even if you decide not to do a gift, a Valentine's Day card is a must. We recommend something funny, off-kilter, and even a bit inappropriate. Let's be honest, this holiday is pretty much a joke, so let's go with it. Plus, if you're in a newer relationship, a goofy card with a nice note will keep things light while still showing that you put in some effort.
