Best Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Every Budget & Taste

St. V-Day is one more great opportunity to tell your lover how much s/he means to you. At Enjoy The Wood, we know that a thoughtful and meaningful prezzie can demonstrate your appreciation, affection, and…love. Do you get your boyfriend a Valentine's Day gift? Or, perhaps, you’re looking for something extravagant to impress the woman of your life? We’re here to help you make February 14th exceptional and unforgettable.

But first, what is a good Valentine's Day gift?

First, it’s something that comes right from your heart. It doesn’t matter how much you pay for it – it is about appreciating the person next to you. The I-think-of-you gift reflects the depth of your relationship, the interests of your beloved one, and maybe the memories you shared together before. Any present is a good one – practical, romantic, sentimental, or a kind of experience that you two can share and enjoy.

Pocket-Friendly Options for Under $30

If you can’t afford spending a lot at the moment and wonder what Valentine's Day gift ideas won’t leave you penniless, here’s our list of presents for no more than $30.

• Love letter. Something you write yourself is absolutely priceless. Include your dreams for the future, memories, or simply top main reasons why you love ‘em.
• Unique playlist. Pick the list of songs that remind you of some special time together or the ones that you know your SO loves. This option is romantic, personal, and…free!
• A green buddy. A little plant like a succulent is a cute symbol of love that does not require a lot of your attention, something great for busy people.
• A book. Is she a reading geek? Emily Nagoski’s “Come As You Are” book is an excellent way to explore female sexuality. If it’s a gift for him, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” (one of the greatest books of all time!) by Milan Kundera rocks. Enjoy a hot debate with your Valentine about this romance novel about complex relationships!

Valentine's Day Gifts under $100

Even though our team did its best to ensure all the picks below meet the $100 threshold, keep in mind that prices can dance around this sum, especially before the V-Day.

• Jewelry with a personal touch. What is the most popular gift on Valentine's Day? A simple necklace, bracelet, or ring with engraving is both beautiful and meaningful. Plus, it won’t make you spend a fortune.
• Subscription boxes. From coffee and wine fans to cooking gurus and bookworms, there is a subscription box out there for every taste. Just choose something that 100% matches their passions.
• A workshop for two. The most precious memories can be made through shared experiences only! It can be anything – a painting, cooking, pottery, coffee-making, or any other class. You’ll learn, have fun, and have a never-to-be-forgotten bonding experience.

Something Luxurious over $100

If you’re ready to spend more, here are some of the ideas for over a hundred bucks:

• Designer accessories. What is the best gift to give a girl on Valentine's day if not a stylish wallet or purse from her favorite brand? At the same time, your man will love the new watch from the designer he adores.  
• Romantic weekend getaway. Just imagine you two having the best time ever in a cozy cabin in the mountains or in the woods, where you can get in touch with nature and beauty. Ah, heavenly!
• Fragrance. There are many luxury brands to choose from – Tom Ford, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and so on. The key is to know their unique taste. We strongly recommend staying away from spontaneous purchases just because you like the fragrance.
• Techs, where do without them.  A new phone, smartwatch, tablet, or wireless earbuds – the assortment is huge, so you can easily make your tech lover’s Valentine’s Day double special.

Something Wooden and Timeless

Truly sentimental and unique gift for a Cupid’s Holiday is made of…wood. At EnjoyHome, we know 1001 ways to transform your home into a haven of warmth. Wood is definitely on the list. It symbolizes stability, natural beauty, and strength. All the components of true love, right?

We create beautiful, personalized wooden décor and accessories for every kind of giftee – travelers, sentimental souls, old schoolers, and everyone who’s got a style.  

• Wooden albums. Preserve the best moment together with the album made to keep your photos and serve as a simple and stylish piece of décor.
• Travel box. We all have a pack of those cute little things when we’re back home from the trip. Provide your boo with a sleek memory-keeper, handcrafted and personalized with name, quotes, special data, etc. Perfect to keep photos, postcards, and tickets that remind you of the good old days together.
• Family tree. If you’re looking for a 2-in-1 gift – a great Valentine’s Day prezzie and something to adorn your family nest – the tree made of wood rocks. It’s a wonderful (and loved by many!) symbol of family bonds. And you can have it custom-engraved to include a romantic quote, signature, or special names.
• World and regional maps. For those who want a unique, affordable, and beautiful gift, the wooden map is the answer. Handcrafted from natural materials, the piece impresses with its style and detail.

Valentines Gift for Someone Who Hates Valentine's Day

Believe it or not, but some people actually hate that little winged messenger of Venus. That’s OK. If your boo is not into conventional Lover’s Day, try to think outside the (heart-shaped) box. Choose the scenario that does not include a lot of V-Day-themed ‘ingredients.’ Buy tickets for a comedy show, vinyl s/he has been dreaming about, or simply spend a cozy night in with pizza and a TV show.  

Surprise them with something yummy. Check out online tutorials on how to make a gift basket for Valentine's Day to fill it with the goodies your SO loves: chocolates or gourmet sweets, wine, champagne, or craft beer, cheese and crackers, bath bombs, soaps, or spa packs, and so on.

For those who would like to stay away from any sort of Valentine’s Day clichés, a wooden piece from Enjoy The Wood will help you celebrate your sweetheart in a way that feels real, 100% personalized, and relaxed.

How Much $ Is Enough? 

Finally, what is a good amount of money for a Valentine's Day gift? The good news – there is no such thing as the “right” answer! What does matter is what stands behind the gift. Whether you’re ready to spend ten dollars or two thousand bucks, the best present ever is something you picked with the idea of what your sweet giftee would like to get. It is not about money, but the connection you two have. No matter who you’re shopping for – whether it’s the love of your life, your best friend, mom, or sibling – Enjoy The Wood is the place where every piece is made with heart and a love for beautiful details and our precious clients.
