Let’s face it: Valentine’s Day is just one of those awkward holidays that can be next to impossible to shop for if you walk into it without even an inkling of an idea of what to buy. Whether you’ve recently gotten into a relationship and are unsure of navigating the waters or you’re simply looking to make a family member feel loved on the day of love itself, we’ve got you covered. BloomingBox has the best luxurious gifts, and handmade sweets to make your loved ones Valentines even more special.

While bouquets of flowers, boxes of chocolates, and “I Love You” teddy bears are tried and true classics, it pays to think outside of the box. At the end of the day, you want genuine smiles and warm hugs in return for your gift, so it’s your job to find a gift that strikes a chord. Maybe you’re searching for a sweet Valentine’s gift for your daughter or a gift that lights up your husband’s eyes—whatever you’re looking for, we’re here to provide 6 fabulous ideas!

1.Unique jewelry

Leave the heart-shaped jewelry in the past and gift your Valentine with a piece of unique jewelry that has a bit of personality and a lot of forethought. When it comes to buying jewels for that special someone on your gift list, go the road less traveled and opt for a one-of-a-kind piece that makes a great first impression.

2. Travel Journal

With so many sights to see, people to meet, and cities to roam, there are so many valuable memories just waiting to fill the pages of a travel journal. Your wanderlust-stricken Valentine will love having a venue to jot down their favorite dishes, encounters, and dreams. Though a picture is worth a thousand words, words are worth more than a thousand memories!

3. DIY Garden

If your Valentine’s spark of joy shines brightest when spending quality time with mother nature, a DIY home gardening kit is in order. Not only will they be able to watch those tiny little seedlings grow into beautiful flowering plants, but they’ll adore the fact that they’ve been given a gift that just keeps on giving. A DIY gardening kit is an eco-conscious gift that you can feel good about giving, too!

4. Cookbook

If the way to your Valentine’s heart is through their taste buds, you may consider adding fuel to their food-loving fire by gifting them a cookbook. Whether your lovebird adores Thai cuisine or Indian eats, a good cookbook is all that stands between them and the ingredients, instructions, and expertise they need to create their favorite restaurant dishes within the comfort of their own home.

Falling in love with fictional characters, worlds, and stories is made possible through the convenience of an e-reader. Not only can your Valentine take their favorite tales wherever they go, but they can also do so without worrying about the weight of physical books bogging them down.

They say that a photo is worth a thousand words—so what better way to take your Valentine’s breath away than with an immortalized memory? Maybe it’s the moment your man proposed or a childhood photo of you and your closest sibling, whatever moment brings a smile to your face is worth gifting for Valentine’s Day. A professionally printed canvas or glass photo plaque is a great way to turn a regular photograph into a masterpiece ready for display at home or at work.
