A Locket 

I found this beautiful rose gold locket on Amazon. It has great reviews and a beautiful design. It is smaller than most of the lockets out there which are usually as big as a quarter. 

However, this is less bulky at about the size of a nickel. Reviewers mentioned that it is hard to open, which is better than opening too easily. 

They also enjoyed the quality and style. They recommend having the company put the photo in for you with a special coating so the image doesn’t fall out. 

You can put a picture of the two of you in it, so she can always feel close to you. This would make a perfect Valentine’s gift for a girl who loves jewelry or photography and you. Or it would be nice for someone like me who loves sentimental gifts.

Frameo Digital Photo Frame

I love the Frameo Digital Photo Frame. We got it for my parents for Christmas, but it would make an excellent Valentine’s Day gift. 

This frame comes with an app, and anyone with the code to your frame can upload pictures from anywhere in the world and they’ll show up on the screen. 

This would be an amazing present for a couple in a long-distance relationship. 

You can stand it in portrait or landscape and it will automatically switch the orientation of your photos for you. It will slide through any you add to it. 

You can also send little notes with the images that will also show up on the frame. I highly recommend this one over other digital frames which require a USB or manually uploading the images to it. 

Couple Conversation Cards

Guys. Girls love questions. We love to talk and learn more about you. These couple conversation cards by {The And} are a great Valentine’s Day gift. 

Be willing to sit down with her and use some of these cards to make meaningful connections, spend some quality time together, and learn more about each other. 

Giving this to her will show her that you care about building a deeper relationship and listening to her. 

Plus, you can also find some for dating relationships, intimate relationships, and family and friends editions. 

LEGO Flower Bouquet Decoration Set 

For all those girlies out there who love quality time, LEGOs, and activities, you can get her a flower LEGO set. 

You can build it together and have a lasting bouquet of flowers for your home. And you can always take it apart and build it again the next year. And these flowers never die.

As a bonus tip, get her a matching bouquet of real flowers to go with it!

Disco Planter Pots

Watch your love grow in these fun disco ball planter pots. You can hang them from the ceiling or set them on a desk or table. 

You can fill it with her favorite plant or flower for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. This set comes with three pots with chains or a wood stand. 

You can get it in rose gold or silver. You can hang it in the light for a glittery disco party any time of day, plus a spark of life growing out of it. Give her these Valentine’s Day gifts along with some music and food for an at-home disco party.

Mini Tabletop Firepit

Bring the heat this Valentine’s Day with this mini tabletop firepit. You can easily make s’mores from the warmth of your home. 

This is such a cute item for a date night or family get-together. The easy-to-light flame lasts 40 to 50 minutes. The pit is made of concrete so it won’t get too hot or burn your surfaces. 

Add some marshmallows, graham crackers, and specialty chocolates to make the best V-day s’mores. 

Shower Steamers Aromatherapy

Make this Valentine’s Day a steamy one with these essential oil shower steamers. 

Perhaps your girl doesn’t like baths or bath bombs. This shower steamer kit can add some relaxing and soothing scents for a spa-like experience without the need for a tub. 

This six-pack is a great way to add some love to her Valentine’s week. It comes with many scents such as lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, watermelon, and more.

Board Games

I absolutely love board games! It is such a great way to bond and connect with others while having fun. However, it can be hard to find two-player games. 

Whether you are a couple or are married, here are some of the best two-player board and card games for a fun Valentine’s date night activity. 

My favorites growing up were mancala and battleship. But you might also enjoy this quick-draw card game, Loot N’ Loaded that comes with toy guns when someone challenges you to a duel. You can play with two to six players. 

Or you can get her a beautiful board game that looks like a book. It can serve as beautiful home decor that she can pull out and play with without losing the aesthetic, like this Taboo box set. This is my family’s favorite game. 

Valentine’s Day Photo Shoot

My favorite Valentine’s Day gift idea on this list is an experience. Buy her a beautiful dress, hire a photographer, and have fun making memories. 

Girls love to get dressed up and have photos with the person they love. You can even make it a tradition by getting dolled up, taking Valentine’s photos each year, and putting them into a photo album. 

You can either take them yourself with your cell phone set up, or better yet, hire a photographer for a mini-session. 

Two GetOutPasses

The absolute best Valentine’s Day gifts are those that make memories. The GetOutPass is a ticket you can buy that gives you access to hundreds of local events and activities. You buy the yearly pass and show it when you show up at one of the included places. Get one for your local area. You can find one for tons of different cities all over the country. 

For example, you can go to zoos, aquariums, arcades, sporting events, pools, amusement parks, museums, pottery painting shops, and so much more. 

It is the perfect gift that keeps on giving and saves you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. If you want the perfect Valentine’s Day date night, the GetOutPass is for you. 

You can hit up tons of local events and activities for a day she’ll never forget. And you can use it all year long. Simply show your pass at the entrance and get in! (I am not a GetOutPass affiliate but I do HIGHLY recommend it.)

What Makes the Perfect Valentine’s Day Gifts?

What makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts? You! You are the most important thing to her. And on a day meant to celebrate love, she’ll want to spend it with the one she loves most. 

So getting her a gift that allows her you get to know you, feel close to you, bond with you, and have fun with you makes the perfect present. Your presence will elevate all of these gift ideas. 

And of course, I recommend adding a love letter to the gift. Then add some fresh flowers and her favorite treat to any and all of these Valentine’s Day gift ideas. Make it special and add your own little touch to them. 

So which of these Valentine’s Day gifts is your girly getting? 

Love, Laurel
