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 Racket 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. .
- Try a couple's massage by giving a Spa Certificate.
- A Monthly Wine Club Membership serves as a nice reminder to take time for both of you.
- Bathtub fun is not just for kids with a Couple's Bath Caddy.
- Granny panties are comfortable, but far from sexy. Give her Hanky Panky Underwear, that combines comfort and sexiness.
- Send adorable and tasty Conversation Heart Cookies which can be enjoyed by everyone, including the kids!
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:
- Take a wine and chocolate pairing class or do it at home using our chocolate & wine guide.
- Grab a cookbook , choose a recipe at whim and try something new.
- Take an ordinary board game , add a dash of naughtiness like Pewter "Get Lucky" dice and see what happens.
- 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.
- Nothing completes an outfit better than Diamond Cufflinks or a Michele Diamond Watch.
- Indulge with a bottle of Dom Perignon and Godiva Truffles.
- A heavenly soft Kashwere Robe Kashwere Robe is a treat to come home to and will surely be treasured for years to come.
- Give reasons to get closer with a shave from Acqua Di Parma and Viktor Rolf Flowerbomb Perfume.
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.
- An interesting and useful take on the Voodoo doll, try the Ex-Voodoo Knife Set in a variety of colors.
- Sure, the title's a bit harsh, but He's Just Not That Into You may be just the thing to help her come to her senses.
- It's good to be bad. Bad Girls Guides shows you how.
- Sweet revenge can be an absolute earful with the Revenge CD and Earplugs.
