Valentine's Day Gift Ideas from Dealio


We at Dealio are shopping pros with years of experience and thousands of dollars under our designer belts (that we scored for a great deal). Therefore, we are experts at coming up with interesting Valentine’s Day gift ideas for every kind of relationship and budget. However, we also know that finding the perfect gift is only a part of the experience which is why we’ve also included ideas on things to do to that will ensure a memorable Valentine’s Day.

The First Valentine’s Day



Things to do:
  • It may be too chilly to picnic in the park, so have one on your living room floor instead.
  • The first few dates are nerve-wracking enough without one that falls on Valentine’s Day. Take the pressure off and rock out at a concert.
  • Buy a box of children's Valentine's Day cards and write down some date ideas - not only touching, but also encourages (hopefully) future dates.

What to give: Interesting, thoughtful gifts make perfect First Valentine's Day presents.
  • Who doesn't love music? Get them an iTunes gift card and include some suggested songs.
  • Or, even better, create a music mix and give it to them in an old-school mix tape box.
  • If they enjoy wine, but you’re not sure about choosing a bottle for them, get them a Metrokane Wine Opener which is a little pricey, but extremely useful.
  • Small, yet luxurious, the Heart-Shaped Votive Candle Set by d.l. + co. is not only beautifully packaged, but also smells lovely.



The Kid(s) Free Valentine's Day



Things to do:
  • Relive your first date including all the fond (or cheesy) memories.
  • Instead of competing for babysitters and dinner reservations, spend the evening with the kids. Plan a romantic date on a random, less chaotic evening (because everyday should be like Valentine's Day).
  • Even though it is a kid(s) free evening, having them help you make a Love Tribute Album (filled with photos from your life together) will warm both your hearts. .
What to give: You spend most days thinking about the kids. For the perfect Kid(s) Free Valentine’s Day, get gifts both of you can enjoy together.



The Proposal on Valentine's Day



Things to do:
  • Create a treasure hunt and spread out clues throughout their day (by their toothbrush, on their desk, in their lunch...) such as letters made from Personalized Hershey's Kisses. Putting the clues together can reveal a special message or location.
  • If you know the path she takes to work everyday, arrange for the shop owner to hang a sign or ask the question using merchandise (such as spelling it out using donuts).
  • Give them a nice, long massage. As you massage the left hand, slip the ring on.

What to give: We think you can handle this one. However, here are some merchants we recommend.



The Fun Valentine's Day



Things to do:
What to give: Give something that's fun, but also a little risqué.
  • Be sneaky and slip a sexy message into their bags, pockets or hands.
  • Or, for an edible surprise, slip them Romantic Fortune Cookies.
  • Give a booklet of I.O.U. coupons promising to happily participate in an activity that you wouldn't normally, happily, participate in - such as curling up on the couch and watching The Notebook.
  • Edible panties are so cliché. Try a G-String instead.



The Spoil-You-Rotten Valentine's Day



Things to do:
  • Sweep someone off their feet, literally, with a helicopter tour.
  • Indulge their inner speed demon or pro golfer with private racing or golfing classes.
  • Pack their bags and whisk them away on a romantic trip.
What to give: If you have as much money as you have love, and spoil them rotten with these luxurious gifts.



The Anti-Valentine's Day



Things to do:
  • Go play outside. Whether it's hiking or snowboarding, do something active. Be happy that you're getting in shape while they're turning into fatties thanks to all the dinner, chocolate and wine.
  • Or, if you like chocolate and wine, organize a taste test for yourself and some friends.
  • Proceed with your day as if it were just another day. Resist the urge to pelt happy, goo-goo eyed couples with water balloons. Award your awesome self (and willpower) with a glass of wine and a truffle or two.
What to give: These gift ideas may not heal broken hearts, but will surely incite a smile.
