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 It sure beats the old, outdated “picture in your wallet”.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!

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️
