Now, here are my epic gift finds. (Sorry, if a little sass oozes out of my writing – but I’ve got that single girl swag this year. Ha!) No romantic Valentine’s Day gifts for me this year! HA!
Gifts For Him
1. “Sole-Mate” Socks
You are probably thinking “Wow, this is awesome”, because not only do I find great gifts, but it is already Valentine’s Day themed and you can never go wrong with getting men dress socks. If the relationship isn’t that serious yet, you can still “knock his socks off” with this gift by choosing the packaging to say “Happy Valentine’s Day“, “I TOE-tally Dig You” a custom message instead. OMG SO CUTE. 😍
2. “Drive Safe Handsome” Keychain
Since losing a loved one in a car crash, I have always been extremely passionate about the importance of reminding others to drive safely! This is a romantic reminder that they can keep on their key ring, that lets them know that you want them safe and alive for as long as possible.
Are you with a stubborn man who thinks he doesn’t need a seat belt? A notorious speeder? Has a tendency to ignore stop signs? Girrrrl, you better gift him this and make his ass read it like it’s Sunday scripture. 😂
3. “Together We Can Fix Anything” Hammer
If you are lucky enough to have a skilled handyman around the house, add to his Mr. Fix-it collection with this beautifully engraved hammer. Come on, even the guys out there with the roughest exterior wouldn’t be able to resist loving this, because it is clever and everlasting.
4. Candle Theory Boxed Set
This set comes with three man-friendly scented candles, in an elegant, yet manly box. Let’s be real, men love candles too, and I bet they secretly wish we would gift them for often – especially scents that men love like the ones in this set: Warm Tobacco, Fresh Shave, and Smoked Suede.
5. Bouquet of Meat
I put a bouquet of donuts on the “For Her” list, so I had to put the man-version on this list. What man wouldn’t love a bouquet of meat?!
6. Valentine’s Day Beer Case Gift
So if your man is a huge beer fan, I’d definitely fill this baby up with 6 of his favorite beers. If he loves beer and something else just as much (assuming it can fit), you can fill some of the slots with non-beer. Be creative! The second case has beer, chocolate and golf balls!
7. Custom Boxers & Socks Set
Mark your territory with this cute socks and boxers set for men, customized with YOUR name on it. Dem girls better recognize! lol You can also request that a year not be put on it if you’d like in the customization fields on the seller’s website. 🙂
He is also going to look cute as hell in his new undies, just like this pug:
8. Armani Exchange Watch & Luggage Tag Gift Set
I love when a man sports a really, really, sexy watch. This one is exactly that, brilliantly designed in black and gold. 🖤💛 Romantic Valentine’s Day gifts don’t always need to be covered in hearts and the color red. 🙂
9. Custom Comic Panel
This is also a unisex gift, but I put it in this category because comics on Valentine’s Day are probably more appealing to men in general! Men appreciate sweet gifts when intense detail and thought is put into them, while at the same time, they don’t feel obligated or embarrassed to rock it in public. But this is one of those gifts that guys bring to work to show off to their coworkers or friends about how BADASS their girlfriend/wife is.
Remember the episode where Pam gave Jim a custom comic book?
If Pam gifted it, you know it’s a great idea!
10. Darts Drinking Game
Men loves darts n drinkin’, so why not gift them something that celebrates both of their favorite things 🙂
This gift would would be a great addition to the darts because this set is right on TARGET.
11. 3 in 1: Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash
Looks like a fancy bottle of booze, but really, it is some smell-good stuff to spill in the shower. Fancy Smancy 😍
12. Best Boyfriend Trophy (Custom Name)
Just be a dork and get them this trophy. It’s like a romantic “Dundie award” haha
I am fond of gifts that give you a little creative freedom to be romantic, so check out this idea that you can use if you get him some new snazzy shoes:
Or booze….
Gifts for Her
1. Heart-Shaped Picnic Basket
Please, you guys – if you get this for a girl, have it packed with food and a picnic planned, or put a card in it stating when the picnic date will be. Don’t just give her the basket alone. Am I right, ladies?! If he does that, just give him one of these:
Also, if you need some tips on what to bring, and how to plan a romantic picnic, read this helpful article: A Romantic Picnic for Two: What to Cook, What to Bring, and What Not to Do
Here is what is included with the basket:
- Woven willow basket with lined interior
- Porcelain plates and hand-blown wine glasses
- Stainless steel flatware, salt and peppers, and corkscrew
- Cotton tablecloth and napkins with eyelets
- Cheese knife with stainless steel blade
- Hardwood cutting board
2. Flower Mason Jar Light-Up Vases
These mount onto the wall and come with a remote controller to turn the lights off/on. Not all Valentine’s Day gifts have to be themed, or cliche! I would LOVE to be gifted these with my card and box of chocolates! 🙂
3. Bouquet of Donuts on a Stick
I guarantee you if you change things up and get her a bouquet of donuts delivered instead of roses this year, she will be thrilled! (And she will probably share them with you).
4. Customized Heart Gift Box
Fill this adorable box up with her favorite things and you can be sure that the detail and effort to put it inside this cute gift box is recognized. You went out of your way to get her name customized onto it already, so you’ll already be one step ahead of the majority of men. Dust of them shoulders, cuz you slick. 😎
You can fill it with love notes, gift cards, chocolate, small candles, jewelry, and anything else she loves! 🙂 The great thing about this gift box is that she can reuse it for whatever she wants forever, and that is a great perk of this gift.
5. Bath Bomb Gift Set
Okay, as a woman, I have to say this first: Before you decide on this gift, make sure your lady enjoys & takes baths. If she is a shower-girl most of the time, pick something else.
6. Custom Engraved Crystal
My motto has always been “If Crystal is involved, your problems are solved”. Okay, that isn’t my motto, but it sure is true! You can’t go wrong with anything that has “Crystal” in it – including this awesome website you’re on right now.
Anyways, this is a beautiful, heart-shaped Crystal that you can have a custom message engraved on. It comes in a black box, on top of a satin pillow that’s inside. 💓
8. Kate Spade “One in a Million” Initial Necklace
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love this. It comes with the text “One in a Million”, but you can customize the back with your girl’s initial. This is a sweet necklace that isn’t super cheesy like many Valentine’s Day necklaces that are heart-shaped. GET IT. 😍
9. Assorted Love Gift Box
The cute-as-ever gift set that you see below, comes with flowers, body lotion and a reversible sequin heart-shaped pillow!
10. Oxytocin Molecule Necklace
Before you say “WTF?” Let me remind you of what Oxytocin is so that you don’t think this is a necklace for couples with a mutual love of Oxycontin, which is definitely not the same thing. 🤣🤣 See the definition below to determine if this gift is fit for the one you have in mind. Definitely for the cute and nerdy couples <3
What Is Oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a powerful hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. It influences social interaction and sexual reproduction, playing a role in behaviors from maternal attachment to an infant and milk release to empathy, generosity, and orgasm.
When people hug or kiss a loved one, oxytocin levels increase; hence, In fact, the hormone plays a huge role in all pair bonding. The hormone is greatly stimulated during sex, birth, and breastfeeding; it is produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Oxytocin underlies individual and social trust. It is also an antidote to depressive feelings.

12. Red Heart Button-Up Top
The theme of this Valentine’s Day shirt can be worn anytime of the year, so she will love it and look like a sexy thang.
Gifts for Him Or Her
1. The Ultimate Game for Couples
This game is great for couples alone, or for you and your entire couple squad. It is even greater for those who love couples games. The game works by quizzing the other person about things they may not know about you. This game is definitely romantic when the other person answers a question correctly, that is something you’ve only subtlety mentioned.

If one of y’all has a nice ass and the other has a nice beard, then this is the perfect mug set for you both. Whoever gifts it, gets a gift as well. Win-Win!
4. “Damn Boo… You Fine” Teddy Bear
I was going to put this one the “For Her” list, but I think it isn’t too cheesy & gushy to not be suitable for a man too! It’s cuter than a baby’s toot!
They also make a matching keychain!
5. Our Song Vinyl Wall Art

6. Ancestry & Health DNA Kit
Did y’all know I actually found my biological father by using one of these DNA kits? We ending up meeting and now we have kept in touch for years. The possibilities with these tests are endless and sometimes priceless!
It is really good to know where you come from, and who you are related to. I think deep down we all are curious to explore our roots further, regardless of how much we already know. 🙂
The 2 most popular DNA kits available are 23andMe and AncestryDNA, which you can check out below.
The perk about AncestryDNA is that they offer a cheaper kit only including ancestry results, and you can always upgrade the health benefits portion later down the road if you decide to. 🙂 23andMe has always been the more desired DNA test because of that feature, so now both companies offer it so you can’t go wrong with either one.
With that being said, go ahead and explore both websites/kit information and decide what would be best for your significant other:
7. Beats by Dr. Dre – Wireless Headphones
This is another straight up CLASSIC gift that anyone will ADORE. I love my Beats and the quality/price ratio doesn’t compare. Here are some of my favorite ones that you can gift to him/her so that they can blast the bass in “Numb to the Feeling” loud and proud like me.
