Valentine’s Day Gifts With Heart

Tokens big and small to honor your valentine—and other special someones

gifts for your valentine

With Valentine’s Day almost upon us, it’s time to think about getting your beloved a little somethin’ somethin’, if you haven’t already. And, for the love of Cupid, please don’t even think about chocolates or candles—they’re so “been there, done that.”

Don’t worry if your creative juices aren’t flowing as freely as your love for one another. Or if you don’t have the money to splurge on anything too big (like the Christian Louboutin heart shoes and bag, above, you’ve been dying to receive.) We have you covered with some touching (but not too cheesy) presents in every price range. Some are suitable for your partner or lover, and others are perfect for close family and friends. Maybe you’ll even find a little token for yourself—why not, you’re worth it, right?

Below you’ll find just a few gift ideas, but our Valentine’s Day Pinterest board is loaded with many, many more splendid suggestions—so be sure to check it out before Feb. 14!

Once you’ve got your gifts lined up, check out our list of “The Top 100 Love Songs of all Time” for your Valentine’s Day playlist, and read our story, “Make a Valentine’s Dinner for Two” for step-by-step instructions on creating a cozy, home cooked meal for you and the one you love.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Red Typewriter!
