Valentine’s Day Gift Guide (Affordable Ideas for Every Age)
Valentine’s Day gifts are more personal than any other holiday. In this Valentine’s Day Gift Guide, we have handpicked ideas for almost every age. Be sure to make it personal using our suggestions below!
Ways to Make Valentine’s Day Feel Special
Before you start adding things to your cart, ask yourself how your kid/spouse/significant other feels most loved. Is it quality time? Is it acts of service? Is it words of encouragement? Try to pair any gift you buy with a bit of a personal touch. Here are some ideas:
- Create a Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt for kids to find their gift.
- Make a special Valentine’s Day meal for the family. You could make a Pan-Seared Steak, Crispy Smashed Potatoes , Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans, and Chocolate Chip Blondies.
- Make a surprise delivery at their work or school. It could be coffee, donuts, cookies, or their favorite snack.
- Take the time to write a card. Don’t just sign your name. Really articulate some things you love and admire.
- Leave little notes where they wouldn’t expect them.
Hopefully this helps get the wheels turning!

Valentine’s Day Gifts for Kids
Doubleside Toffee
What a fun, unique gift this would be for kids or any person you love! You could support this small business and mail it to anyone as a special surprise.
Doubleside Toffee Company is an online candy company that makes the best chocolate-covered almond toffee, toffee popcorn, and savory almonds. They handcraft these gourmet, gluten-free treats that taste good and do good through donations to local, faith-based non-profits. Their goal is to make a difference in other’s lives and the community around us. They support Young Life, a youth ministry, and For Her, an organization supporting sexually exploited women in San Antonio, TX.
The toffee is double-coated with a blend of dark and milk chocolate that perfectly compliments the toffee and satisfies all chocolate lovers. It also has the perfect crunch- it’s not too hard to bite into and never chewy. Fresh toffee is best eaten straight from the freezer and stays fresh for several months!
Order now and see why everyone says this is the best toffee ever! Use code TH2021 for 10% off your purchase now through 2/10/21.
Joke Book
Kids love joke books! I’d probably keep it in the car for some road trip entertainment. It’s got over 8k reviews!
Coupon Book
You’ll be giving thoughtful and fun gifts of “relational time” with these adorable printables! You can remove any that won’t work for your family/lifestyle.
Gumball Machine
A fun idea any kid would love! I had one of these as a kid and love it!
Every Man Jack Marvel Collection
Responsibly made with clean ingredients. Who knows, maybe my young boys would actually use soap if their favorite super hero is on it! (Rachel’s teen son uses their deodorant.)
Hot Wheels & Road Car Tape
A unique gift for little boys! This “road” tape can be rolled out and stuck anywhere. It is only a one-time use thing but it’s pretty cheap!
Personalized Necklace
Any little lady would enjoy a personalized necklace!
Lava Lamp
Going old school here, but what tween or teen wouldn’t think this was cool?
Hot Chocolate Bombs
Kids (of all ages) are OBSESSED with these. Pour hot milk over them and watch the chocolate melt away to reveal cocoa mix, marshmallows, and more goodies inside! You’ll probably have the most luck with finding these locally. (We recommend Plume, if you live in our neck of the woods.)
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Mom
Cherish Stack Rings
I am totally crushing on this jewelry company, Windblown. I seriously LOVE everything on their site. They have effortless jewelry for your everyday look which is what I love. It’s minimalist but still beautiful. I had a hard time picking just one thing for this gift guide but since their Cherish Stack is 21% off right now (because of 2021), I thought that would be a great one to feature. All the rings are 14k gold-filled which means they will not tarnish or turn. They are perfectly safe to literally never take off–working out, in water, sleeping, etc.
If rings aren’t your thing, I highly recommend hopping over to their site and browsing around. I am also eyeing out their earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Seriously, I love it all.
Don’t know your ring size? See their Sizing guide here.
Tastefully Simple Baking Mixes:
Sweet treats and Valentine’s Day just go together. Any baker of any age would enjoy an assortment of baking mixes that can be easily turned into a Valentine’s Day treat.

Matching Shirts for Mom & Daughter
Little girls LOVE to match their mama. Here are some Valentine’s Day sweatshirts that have sizes for both!

This would be great for any age! Depending on where you live, you can have cookies delivered to your house as a surprise. I did this for my nephew’s birthday, and it was a huge hit.
Slippers
I have these exact pair of slippers and love them dearly. They are not only cute and comfortable, but they have a sole so can be worn outside if needed.
Winc
Handpicked wine (based on your taste preference) delivered to your doorstep! I’ve been using Winc on and off for years and have discovered some great wines through it! A subscription to this service would be a really fun gift for mom! Pair it with a Corkcicle for a great gift!
Dazzle Dry Nail System
By far the best nail polish I’ve ever used. It stays on so much longer than even quality brands like OPI. I got the starter set last year for Christmas and have pretty much used Dazzle Dry exclusively since then. Make sure to get on their email list for promos!

I got this for my husband for Father’s Day and had the kids fill out the questions. Their answers were a hoot and it’s one of those gifts Dad will hold on to for years.
