But if you want to mix it up a little from the regular heart-shaped box, you can gift them one bar that has eight flavors, each in its own square. The names of the flavors, ranging from cherry to earl grey to caramel and more, are engraved into each square, and it's a fun way for your recipient to expand their tastebud horizons.Promising review: "This is a wonderful item to give as a gift. For that chocolate love who, yes, would never turn down chocolate...here is a little twist. Something very unique. And if they don't care for a particular flavor, there are 7 others! 8 in all. Beautiful packaging. Giving to two different people. I'm sure they will enjoy very much!!!" — ShelbyBan.doA set of two luggage tags that look like locket jewelryLocket jewelry is always a lovely choice for a gift, but you can also get creative and practical with the idea, like these funky luggage tags that look like lockets. They're understated but still eye-catching so your recipient can find their stuff easily on the carousel at baggage claim, and the straps are adjustable to fit their specific bags.AmazonA pack of aromatherapy shower steamersHelp your loved one relax with these spa-like shower steamers, containing eight scents (there are three different combinations available). All your recipient has to do is place one steamer in a "light-rinse" area where it won't get submerged (like the shower floor), and it will release its lovely aroma as hot water runs and steam builds.This is a great alternative to bath bombs for people who don't have a tub or prefer to shower instead of taking baths, as one reviewer pointed out.Uncommon GoodsA booklight shaped like a furry friendShopping for a bookworm who's also a night owl? Look no further than this adorable animal booklight, available as a sloth or cat. Their eyes glow so your recipient can see the page, while the body clips to the book so they won't lose their spot. Your favorite reader can bend it to their desired angle for the best lighting.AnthropologieThe popular, whimsical, collectible Icon juice glassA surprise hit toward the end of last year, the Icon juice glasses sold at Anthropologie are such a fun gift idea. Each glass is handblown with glass beads in different fun shapes hand-pressed to them, and there are a few Valentine's Day-appropriate options. These include the chocolate-covered strawberry glass shown here, the red heart glass and the pink and red gummy bear glass.Of course, if you think your recipient would prefer something more neutral or evergreen, you can choose from a ton of other designs too, like fruits, bows, swans and more. There's even one with an engagement ring design, for married or engaged folks who are using Valentine's Day to celebrate their nuptials.EtsyThis customizable "date decider" wheel for when you can't chooseIt's a conundrum among couples everywhere: What should we do tonight? This "date decider" wheel can solve the problem with just a spin. Not only can you personalize this by having your and your partner's name printed at the bottom, but the wheel contains 20 ideas for fun dates (making cocktails, going out into nature, having a bake off, among others) so the two of you don't have to stay bored and weighing your options for too long.Uncommon GoodsA fill-in-the-blank book of all the reasons you love themAffordable but still a step up from a regular greeting card, this "what I love about you" book can become a cherished memento for years to come. The tiny hardcover book contains prompts with space for you to write heartfelt answers, so that your recipient knows all the reasons you love them. You can either fill out the entire book before you gift it to them, or work through the book together and create sweet new memories.Promising review: "This is such a wonderful opportunity to share your favorite parts of someone you love who loves you back. It's a unique way to find out more in depth, how you feel about each other by answering questions , you typically don't ask yourself or your partner. My partner and I answer a question and share our responses once a week, and we both always feel a little closer after :-)" — CCWilliams SonomaThis adorable heart-shaped mini waffle makerI am the proud owner of a Dash mini waffle maker that was gifted to me years ago, but I had no idea they make seasonal designs, like this adorable red one with a heart shape. (If you're planning on surprising your partner with breakfast in bed this Valentine's Day, this is great to have on hand, too.) The waffle maker couldn't be easier to use; even my cooking-averse self found the nonstick surfaces and simple mechanics a breeze to use and clean. Whether you're shopping for a cooking novice or someone who loves kitschy kitchen appliances, this is a winner.AmazonA foolproof fancy candleAnother gift I have experience with is a La Jolie Muse candle, which I've gifted before. The glass jars feature stunning details and the elevated scents make this feel like a luxury purchase without breaking the bank. The 6-ounce candles are just over $20, and each one has a 40-hour burn time. While a candle is a pretty classic Valentine's Day gift, this one is on the list because it looks way more expensive than it is, and I can attest to these La Jolie Muse candles having a wow factor when recipients first unbox them.Uncommon GoodsSome heart-shaped sugar cubes for their coffee, tea and cocktailsReminiscent of those "be mine" heart-shaped candies, these sugar cubes come in two variety packs with different flavor profiles (floral or sweet). And unlike those candies, these sugar cubes can be added to your recipient's coffee, tea or cocktails to sweeten up their drinks (and maybe make them sweet on you).Promising review: "These added the perfect amount of edible glitter and botanicals to my our bridal morning tea. Not too much, flavor was great... not too strong. Very nice gift to receive for a bridal party gift from the bride. Love that she found something so sweet to gift to us that we had never seen before. The heart shapes we adorable!" — MaggieAmazonA fun mini Bluetooth speaker shaped like a retro radioPractical and fun all rolled into one, this mini speaker is less than 3 inches tall and has a leather handle that can attach to your recipient's bag with ease. It has the retro look of an old radio, but connects via Bluetooth and reviewers praise its sound quality (keeping in mind, of course, how small it is). This is a fun, whimsical gift for the music lover or the practically-minded person who wants something they'll actually use. Choose from five colors.EtsyOr these coupons they can cash in for fun activitiesYou may be familiar with the concept of coupons as a gift, so that your recipient can cash in your free time to do fun activities with you. If you're in doubt of your own artistic skills to DIY them, the Etsy shop CuratedForYouGifts makes this set of 12 ticket-style coupons in five themes with different color schemes to match their tastes. You can choose between pre-written coupons containing activities like game nights, weekend getaways and more, or select the totally blank option to write in ideas all on your own (the other sets still contain two blank coupons). This is a nice blend between a tangible gift and an experience.Promising review: "Super cute, great care and thought went into this product. Boyfriend loved it!" — Maritza HoneycuttTargetA fresh take on flowers with these buildable Lego blossomsLego sets seem to be popular with just about every age group, and if you think gifting flowers on Valentine's Day is kind of tired, why not gift Lego flowers instead? They'll last forever and double as an activity for your recipient (and perhaps one you can do with them). These cherry blossoms are made up of 430 pieces and can be customized depending on how your recipient arranges the colors of the different buds. Like all other Lego products we've come across, this has a ridiculously high rating at both Amazon and Target.Uncommon GoodsA journal for the concertgoer so they can remember their favorite showsIf your recipient loves going to concerts, either with you or with friends, family or even on their own, they may want a way to remember their nights out without having to spend so much time recording on their phone during the show. Enter: this concert journal, a thoughtful way for them to note down their favorite moments, the setlist and even how much their ticket cost (with ticket prices rising so drastically over the years, they may look back in nostalgia later down the line). If you've got a music lover in your life, this is a thoughtful way to show them you see them and their passion.EtsySome playing cards you can customize with names and photosIntroduce some personalization to your recipient's game nights with these playing cards that are advertised as wedding favors, but work just as well as a Valentine's Day or anniversary gift. You get tons of customization opportunity here.First, choose between an iron or wooden box (or no box) and get the box engraved with text of your choice if you like. Then, select from multiple options for the front and back designs and add your names and a meaningful date to be included on the cards. You can also request for custom photos to be put on the cards. Now you and your loved one can enjoy a card game while reflecting on your time together.
