I know it may sound unomant, but something in me rebelli against commercialized holidays (like Valentine's Day). You will not find me by buying heart -shaped boxes with candy or flowers that will die within two days. But I have some other ideas that have been a hit in the past or that attracted my attention.
Here are some ideas about the best gifts of Valentine's Day, whether for a loved one, the best friend, or just some very much self-care!
Let's update Valentine's Day by giving this year!
I love the days that are a reminder to tell my family how much I love and appreciate them. But this special holiday has become a tribute to candy and goods purchased in the store that lose their value after two days. I don't have a lot of sweet tooth and I certainly don't need a giant gift box full of tartels.
All of us feel the need to spend a lot of money on expensive dates and gifts because a marketing team has decided that Valentine's Day is a great time for flower and caramel sales.
If you are going to spend $ 160 on Valentine's Day (average according to Business Insider … Do you actually do it?!) I have some gift ideas that will bring stable health and happiness, not just a temporary hurry of sugar!
This Valentine's Day Gift Guide has one-to-one-time gift ideas, including DIY gifts for the late V-Day ideas.
Gifts that say “I love you”
One challenge I would give is to stop giving expensive gifts and giving ourselves a reason to be more creative and thoughtful with our gifts. As a result, I have a file with handwritten letters and memorandums from memorable events in the past. These mean much more than a box of chocolate can sometimes!
The best gifts for everyone, in my opinion, are the quality time or shared experiences. This is what I will give my family this year, and I will encourage you to consider it too! Here is a list of all my Favorite experiences To give as gifts, but I also have some specific Valentine's ideas!
My favorite Valentine's Day ideas
If you want to give a current gift this year, these are some of my favorite ideas. Your recipient will love them and you can feel good about giving them! They may not all be trending in tiktok, but they make a perfect opportunity for a night date or at any time (in my opinion).
The ideas of couples' gifts
If you want, you can buy a highest quality gift you can both enjoy, instead of giving separate gifts. This way, you can get a slightly more expensive item and both enjoy it for months or years to come. Some favorites are:
- Myobuddy – One of my favorite gifts ever! This is a combination of percuitive massage, infrared heat and myofascial release on a device. So relaxing and part of our daily routine now. Use WellnessMama code for a discount.
- Jovv – Another common gift that has become part of my daily routine. Bluetooth features are optional if you want it to connect to their tracking app, so it's low EMF. Red light therapy has many benefits (though it uses it mainly for skin and hair growth). This post explains what the red light therapy (also known as photobiomodulation) is and why it works.
- Sauna – Children call our sauna “smooth box” and saving for a few minutes calm time and infrared heat is a double victory every day. Sauna therapy has some well -documented benefits And it is also relaxing.
- SUMMER – Summer is already a well -known Valentine's Day gift, but many wines have added sugars, artificial colors or aroma, or some other strange things that would not expect to find in the summer.

This is my favorite household recipe Made with cocoa butter and raw honey. You can top it with a little sea salt for a salty version or add a drop of essential oil of food grade peppers for a mint flavor. This recipe also works really good to make chocolate (or other fruits) or as a magic shell head for household ice cream.
- A creative and fun date: I share my 7 best favorites Unusual date ideas In this post, but everything that leaves you from home and ruins the rate can be fun. I once made a cleaner hunt, where I gave him a data in his car after work, and every data led him to a new data until he finally reached the dated place (Picnik outside and we played Frisbee ). In the long run, it will be the creative dates and the time spent together that they remember, not the expensive gifts or dates!
- Morning – This classic is a great way to get some smooth snuggles in the bed while eating. You can leave love notes on the pillows for your partner to wake up in the morning. And maybe start the night before with a matching pajamas set, if that's your thing. Or father can coordinate with children to give Mom morning And a much needed break!
