Long stem roses and a box of mystery truffles can make just about anyone feel special on Valentine’s Day, but how personal are those gifts really? Thousands of other people are giving and receiving the exact. same. thing. This year, toss the generic Valentine’s Day gifts out the window and give your sweetheart something that shows you totally get them. Here are 10 quirky Valentine’s Day gift ideas we love.
1. Personalized Family Tandem Bike Art
Cost: $110 – $145
A printed picture of you and your Valentine is a sweet gesture, but a painting of you two riding a tandem bike with your pet seated on the back? Unprecedented, and hilariously cute.
2. Mimosa Diagram Glassware
Cost: $35
Is your gal the type who likes a boozy breakfast in bed? How about a boozy brunch on the porch? Cook up some Belgian waffles, or whatever dish your lady likes, and pair it with a perfectly poured mimosa in a fun glass.
3. Foodie Dice
Cost: $24
Turn your homemade Valentine’s Day dinner into a fun game of “what can we make with these ingredients?” using these foodie dice. You’re a grown up, and you’re allowed to play with your food now.
4. Personalized Mixtape Pillow
Cost: $38
Remember when mixtapes were a thing? I got my first one when I was 14, and I still know the lyrics to every sappy Brand New and Dashboard Confessional song on it. If you and your sweetheart share a love of music, this personalized mixtape pillow is a winning gift idea.
5. Bird Eyeglasses Holder
Cost: $24
The little quirks are usually the things we love the most about our partners. If your Valentine has a habit of misplacing her glasses (I certainly do), help her keep track of them with this funny eyeglass holder. She’ll appreciate that you find her tendency to misplace things endearing.
6. Warm or Cool Face Mugs
Cost: $35
If your boo loves cookies and milk (who doesn’t?) this hilarious stoneware mug set is a perfect gift. Whip up a plate of gooey, homemade chocolate chip cookies and enjoy a relaxing night in.
7. Date Night Bucket List
Cost: $18
This is great for couples who like spontaneity, or are maybe just not great at coming up with date ideas. Give this as a gift, and have fun trying new things together. Can you think of a better night to start than Valentine’s Day?
8. Personalized Porcelain Faux Bois Mug Set
Cost: $72
Sometimes it’s the little moments we share together daily, like having a cup of coffee in the morning, that have the most meaning. Order this mug set with your and your sweetheart’s initials to let them know how much those moments mean to you.
9. Cocoa Butter Truffles Bathtub Soaks
Cost: $28
Like a beautiful box of artisanal chocolates, but for the BATH. Need I say more?
10. Love is Art Kit
Cost: $36
This is another great idea for a night in. Roll up your sleeves and create a beautiful piece of artwork for your home. No big deal if you two don’t live together. Let her hang it in her home to remind her of you, or take turns rotating it.
