Last-Minute Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

If you are like me you probably still have not picked out your Valentine’s Day gifts. Luckily it’s easy to send something thoughtful to the special people in your life, even when the big day is less than a week away. Whether you’re looking for a traditional gift, an experience or something unique, here are some last-minute Valentine’s Day gift ideas. 

Traditional Gifts

When you think of Valentine’s Day of course one of the first things that comes to mind is flowers. FTD has plenty of Valentine’s Day-worthy bouquets to choose from that will arrive that very same day. Other traditional gifts include chocolates – of all kinds!

Give an Experience

If COVID has taught me anything, it’s that I have plenty of STUFF. So I’ve been giving experiences instead of things because I have a sneaky suspicion that a lot of people are in the same boat. I love the idea of gifting an online cooking class. Not only is it socially distanced, it’s something you can do together with your Valentine or Galentine. You can find them all over the internet but Cozymeal offers a library of online classes featuring all different cuisines and specialties. They also have mixology classes, if that is up your alley. 

You can gift a MasterClass subscription for that lifelong student in your life. MasterClass does have cooking classes but you can also take Gymnastics Fundamentals from Simone Biles, Creativity and Leadership from Anna Wintour, or Conservation with Dr. Jane Goodall. 

Small Trifles

You don’t need to spend a fortune to show someone that you are thinking about them. In fact some of my favorite gifts are small items that show how much the giver knows me. I’ve found a few thoughtful, yet inexpensive, gifts that you can click to shop below!

For Kids

My mom always gave us Valentine’s gifts when we were kids. Some years it was chocolate, other years it was a toy we had been looking at, and other years it was a little money that we could save up for our next vacation. I am continuing this tradition with Arielle by giving her some chocolate and making a deposit into her travel account. Here are a few other fun gifts for the kids.
