Here are 14 Romantic Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for you and/or your partner(s) this Valentine’s day!
Have an extra special date night by ordering a meal kit to create your own romantic dinner. This one is great because it can be made together or separately depending on if you and your boo(s) are long-distance or not!
You can check with a local restaurant to see if they’re offering a fun meal kit like this Taiwanese restaurant in South Philly that offers family-style meal kits!
Or sign up for a good ole cooking class like what Pasture and Plenty are offering this February, based out of south-central Wisconsin.
Flowers are a classic move, especially in a pandemic.

Keep in mind delivery fees and timing, and be sure to place your order ahead of time to allow shops to fully prepare for the V-day rush!
We love this gorgeous floral arrangement from Bouquet’s by Carolyn, a classic valentine's day gift!
Spice up the night by investing in some sexy lingerie - we’d recommend these plus-size intimates for folks of all genders, whether your Valentine’s is going to be virtual or not!

We love a good Valentine’s day DIY gift idea, so why not decorate or even build your own picture frame together?
Create a piece that you can both enjoy, or create mirrored pieces you can enjoy whether you’re together or apart.
We especially love this DIY “Love” mosaic piece you and your honey(s) can do together from MizzMozaic, who also offers DIY mosaic picture frames!
Working on a budget? A handmade card and curated playlist are always a home run in our book!
Don’t forget to include a Pinterest mood board, so your sweetheart knows exactly how you feel, bonus points for powerpoints!
What about a classic: candy and teddy?
For a Valentine’s Day candy gift, we’d recommend something with a higher percentage of dark cacao (dark chocolate paired with a smooth red wine can work as an aphrodisiac [relaxes you and stimulates blood flow to the brain aka feeling good!] for you and your date-mate!).
We’d recommend this adorable stuffy from Amazon and as for wine and chocolate, the rest is up to you!
If you’re feeling crafty but doubtful in the arts and DIY department - why not take to Shutterfly?
Choose your favorite pictures and browse their photo books, blankets, pillow, magnets, specialized mugs, or beyond and let them do the work!
Shutterfly is always offering good deals and sales. Checkcheck out their suggestions for valentine's day gift ideas here!
Speaking of mugs, something personalized with your boo’s name(s), birthday(s), your anniversary date(s) is both thoughtful and sweet - and totally easy to manage if you’re working with an ethical non-monogamous situation and shopping for multiple folks!
This is one of our favorite Valentine's day gift idea- Check out these gorgeous matte designs from Letters and Pieces Co on Etsy!
Take it a step further with a personalized necklace with initials, anniversary dates, or a simple “love”, we love this masculine personalized necklace from Foxy Studios!
Or for the scented candle lover in your life, go for a personalized candle scent and labels! We shrieked with joy at the idea of this stylized Spotify candle!
What about this romantic and gorgeous idea from The Night Sky?
Purchase a beautiful print of a meaningful constellation for you and your lover, and enjoy it year-round!
If you’re feeling thoughtful but would rather skip an awkward gift exchange, how about a special dinner!
Grab a gift card to a local restaurant or grocery store and let your date(s) buy all the snacks/fancy meal prep they want!
We love these easy and simple gourmet dinner ideas from CountryLiving!
If you’re feeling crafty and trying to work on a budget, another adorable idea is to fill a mason jar or craft jar with notes!
These can be date ideas or love notes/compliments for your significant other!
You can write them on multicolored sticky notes to create a rainbow jar, or use note cards and decorate the jar with paint or ribbon.
For those who enjoy a mutual activity, we'd suggest these conversation cards from "The And" - couples edition!
Shop the card deck here. These questions are designed to curate deep and meaningful conversations with partners!
