Trendy Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas
Keeping up with trends is a love language (yes, we just made that up). Show them you’re paying attention when you present them with these trendy Valentine’s Day gift basket ideas:
A Custom Star Map:
The romantic gift trend we saw throughout 2024 is certainly here to stay! A customized star map captures the night sky of a significant date (like a wedding anniversary or the day you first met). Although this gift is arguably “overdone”, we still love the creativity and sentimentality it offers – a stellar option for Valentine’s Day! (pun intended).
Digital Photo Album:
Combining sentimentality with modern technology simply allows you to hold onto your memories for longer! A digital photo album can help you achieve just that. With customizable layouts, music integration, and cloud-sharing options, it’s a sleek yet heartfelt way to celebrate your journey of love.
Spa Treatments:
We believe that spa treatments are often the perfect gift for any occasion. Plus, a day at the spa is also something you can do together. If your partner is in desperate need of relaxation, they’ll love a spa-related gift more than anything else! For your loved ones who live far away, opt for one of our luxurious spa gift hampers so they can indulge in an at-home spa experience.
Cooking Classes:
Couples who cook together…most likely end up annoying the heck out of each other. But, if you’re both interested in developing your culinary skills, cooking together in a controlled environment is often best. Whether you opt for a virtual or in-person cooking class, this is a fun and wholesome activity that will certainly make Valentine’s Day memorable.
Plants Instead of Roses:
We aren’t saying don’t buy them roses. But, we are saying that plants usually last longer and are more affordable. If you want to surprise your loved one with something unusual yet heartwarming, a long-lasting indoor plant can be just as (if not more) effective in expressing your undying devotion. Discover cool plants available on our website right now.

Valentine’s Day Bouquets: How to Not Buy Roses This Year
Flowers are simply the essence of romance! Roses in particular have become the universal symbol of love and affection. But, this year, we dare you to be bold with your bouquet choices with the help of our flower gift guide:
For the Classic Romantic:
Stick to timeless blooms like tulips, lilies, or carnations in shades of pink, white, or red. These flowers exude elegance and romance while offering a refreshing twist on the traditional rose bouquet.
For the Practical Minimalist:
Opt for a simple yet sophisticated arrangement of orchids, white calla lilies, or single-stem sunflowers. These flowers convey heartfelt emotion with their clean lines and understated beauty
For the Lover of Luxury:
Go all out with exotic flowers like peonies, proteas, or amaryllis in vibrant hues. Pair them with accents like gold-tipped foliage or rare blossoms for a bouquet that boasts opulence and grandeur.
For the Playful, Free Spirit
Choose cheerful, colorful arrangements featuring gerbera daisies, ranunculus, or wildflowers. Bright pops of color and whimsical shapes reflect their fun-loving, spontaneous personality.
For the Lover of Rustic:
Earthy tones and textures are key—think sunflowers, lavender, or daisies paired with eucalyptus, wheat stems, or burlap wraps. These bouquets channel a charming, countryside vibe perfect for rustic romantics.
