There is no hiding my love for Valentine’s Day. Even when I was single and younger, I still loved it. Why? Because for one, you can’t beat pink and red as a color-combo, so everything is cute as fuck. Two, even if you’re single, there are still so many people to celebrate loving! Your parents, your friends, your neighbors! I’ll use any excuse to make little gifts for my two friends who are also my neighbors. So with that, let’s dive in to some gift ideas for everyone in your life!
Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her:
“Her” could be your wife, your girlfriend, your BFF, your mom! These gifts don’t have to be romantic in the slightest. This mug cracks me up. One Christmas, I got my neighbors these travel coffee mugs that said, “You’re my favorite bitch to bitch about bitches with.” The pink one is the same thought, but more festive due to the colors.
I love these bowls because you get four of them and can divide them up if you want to gift a few ladies in your life a Valentine’s Day themed candy dish. I got my neighbors similar ones and filled them with these Hershey Kisses just because the wrappers were cute!
Gifts for the Home For Her:
If the women in your life like to cook or bake, pink or heart-shaped cooking accessories are also easy and inexpensive Valentine’s Day gifts. I love these heart-shaped cupcake liners, these spatulas, and this wooden spoon! (It even has “made with love” engraved into the handle.) How cute AF are these spoons? I bought silver versions last year for my own coffee bar, but love the pink and gold ones even more.
For the gal who likes to pamper herself, you can’t go wrong with self care items. Think: sheet masks or lip balm (bonus if it’s cute strawberry or cherry like this one). This adorable cherry print headband can be used to hold back hair when face-washing. Or my all-time favorite – this Laneige lip mask is a tried and true gift for any bougie bitch. I slather this shit on before bed and my lips are still soft and not dry in the morning. And that’s saying something for Colorado winters! Or you can get her an adorable heart-print cosmetic bag, and fill it with all the goodies I just listed. I love this 6-pack because you can use the extras for teacher gifts! Just shove some chocolates and lip balm in there, have your kid make a cute card, and you’re good to go!
Valentine’s Day Gifts For Him:
This one may sound a little out of the box, but gift him a box of hot sauces featured on the show, Hot Ones! I did this as one of Vince’s birthday gifts last year and he loved it. You don’t need to be an avid watcher of the show to appreciate a good hot sauce. Along that vein, I also love this beef jerky set that even has a festive pouch to hold it all in.
While I realize this may not be a gift for EVERYONE, this gift spoke to my soul for Vince since we met on Eharmony 14 years ago! They also make candles that say the same thing if the man in your life already has a fuck-ton of mugs.
I also love gifting men’s skin care products, figuring most men don’t splurge on that type of thing for themselves. My husband is a big fan of Jack Black products like these. If the man in your life likes scotch or whiskey, then you can’t go wrong with fun ice cube molds like these. And since they’re skulls, you can write something punny to go along with them like, “I’d DIE without you!” (Or something equally cringey but fitting!) Lastly, if your husband works from home like mine does, items to spruce up his working space are great too. I love this Himalayan salt lamp. These lamps claim to boost your mood, improve sleep, ease allergies, AND clean the air! Lastly, my husband always likes nice pens, but here is a decent one that is inexpensive! Cross pens are my personal favorite.
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Kids:
Undoubtedly, the easiest people to shop for during Valentine’s Day are my children! I have a 6 and 9 year old and they’re both girls, but these gifts are good for kids ranging from ages 4 and up! First off, you can’t go wrong with anything Squishmallow. They’re all the rage this year, which is infuriating because so many people buy them and resell them for 5 times the price. They’re fucking pillows! But I digress…The one I linked is the same price as if you found it in the wild at Walmart or Target!
I also got my girls this exact pair of earrings. I love the In Season brand, because they’re all sterling silver or 14K gold so they don’t bother your child’s sensitive skin! You can also get them these adorable rings, or this sweet doll. And of course there’s always candy!
For boys, if you still want to do the jewelry route, you could go with this bracelet. Or get him some funny gaming socks, chocolates with a plush attached, unique candy like freeze-dried Starbursts, or these fun car-shaped chocolates.
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Toddlers and Babies:
Let’s face it – babies and toddlers aren’t expecting much. I love the idea of a bigger plush animal, and a book, and in lieu of candy, a teething toy.
