January 17, 2021

It’s a new year, and you know what that means… Valentine’s Day is already approaching surprisingly quick. It goes without being said that you should show the people you love how much they mean to you every day of the year. But Valentine’s Day is the one day where we like to treat our significant other to something special. It can be hard to come up with unique Valentine’s Day gifts year after year.

Whether you want to surprise your other half or show your friends how special they are, finding a good Valentine’s gift can be a bit tricky. Of course, there’s always the option to go with a traditional gift, like flowers or chocolate, but if you feel like this year might be the time to branch out, here are some unique but affordable Valentine’s gift ideas that work for both men and women.

10 Affordable and Unique Valentine’s Day Gifts

Custom Spotify Picture Plaque $29.00

Whether it’s the song you danced to at your wedding or maybe just a particular tune that’s important to both of you, this plaque makes a fantastically unique gift. It’s affordably priced, and extremely personal. Every time they see this present, they’ll think of you. There’s even a scannable Spotify code so they can play the song whenever they feel like it.

Homesick Personal Candles $34

You can never have too many candles, but the same old scents can get a bit tedious. Homesick makes unique candles that can be specifically tailored to the person you’re buying them for. Whether it’s a candle that’s reminiscent of a place you visited together or a memory that you made, these candles make an excellent gift.

Make Your Own Chocolate Truffles Kit $38

Let’s face it, Valentine’s Day just wouldn’t be the same if there wasn’t chocolate involved. But instead of gifting the same old generic box of chocolates, why not try something a little bit more interesting. This DIY chocolate truffle kit is the best of both worlds. It’s a fun activity AND you get to eat chocolate afterwards.

Custom Star Map $50

This is a gift that’s bound to warm the heart of the person you love. Create a custom map of the night sky from a special date, time, and place. A unique gift that really hits home how special a person is to you.

Personalized Film Keychain $25
This adorable gift is one that can be carried anywhere, so they’ll always have pictures of their cherished memories with you. It sure beats the old, outdated “picture in your wallet”. A cute, vintage style keychain filled with special photos.

Live Potted Plant $22 and Up

For those who love receiving flowers, it might be a good idea to try getting them a potted plant instead. Flowers are a beautiful gift, but unfortunately, they don’t last very long. A potted plant, however, can be nourished and kept alive. The gift that keeps on giving! Prices for plants range, but there’s plenty of websites out there where you can have a beautiful, live plant shipped in a pot for a very reasonable price.

Spark Ideas Box $12.95

A cute little gift that’s certainly a bright idea. Each one of these aesthetically pleasing matches has an inspiring quote or message on it for sparking ideas or imparting wisdom. Choose a theme of creativity, happiness, adventure, or romance.

Date Night Subscription Box $25 for your first month and $39.99 for additional months

An excellent idea for those who are looking for a fun way to switch up date night. This monthly subscription box comes with unique and exciting games and activities for you and your partner to try out. No more resorting to the same old dinner and movie nights.

Scratch Off Movie Poster $15

Speaking of dinner and a movie… Never have the age old “what should we watch” argument again! This scratch off poster lists 100 must-see movies, a perfect way to avoid flicking endlessly through Netflix only to fall asleep on the couch.

You Think You Know Me Card Game $30

A great game to play as a couple or with friends, this is a fun icebreaker activity that’s great for after dinner or just to waste some time when sitting around the house. Not to mention, it’s affordable and is a fantastic conversation starter.

If you’re looking for more Valentine’s Day gift ideas, last year I did a post with gift suggestions for the cook in your life that you’ll want to check out next.

    I love the idea of a plant – so nice to be able to enjoy it more than a few days. And I’m a sucker for scented candles!
