Last Minute Valentine Gifts

A few recent emails have asked me what kind of Valentine gifts readers could buy for their partner at the last minute – either because they’d completely forgotten about the event, really had no clue what to do and waited until the last minute, or had just started a relationship and weren’t sure if they should get their new partner something special.

For those in the forgetful camp, I’ve created a small but fun list of last minute valentine gifts, most of which are inexpensive. I’ve also tried to include a few on the list that were appropriate for newer couplings as well as more seasoned partnerships. I’d also recommend taking a peek at my first date gift ideas for those new to each other – everything on the list is inexpensive, fun, and lighthearted enough to share early on, while still providing ample opportunity for romance and/or get-to-know-you conversations.

Do you have any suggestions for last minute valentine gifts, or has your partner ever surprised you with something truly magical that probably didn’t take a lot of time to set up?

More last minute valentine gift ideas:

• Flower Gifts – why last minute? Because they deliver!
• Valentines Day Chocolatesmost of these only have another day to ship, so you may want to order right now if you’d like it in time.
• Plant A Tree Gift – Self explanatory probably; you purchase a tree on behalf of your partner virtually, and the tree is named after them in their honor. Or, you could go to a nursery and purchase a small tree and plant it together as a symbol of your love growing for one another.
• Romantic Valentine Ideas – Everything on this list is something you can create with a day’s notice or less.
• Romantic Dinner for Two – I like pairing this one with the dinner and a movie date idea personally, but you could just go all out making dinner instead.
• Romantic Text Messages – Honestly, there’s no reason why you can’t use your cell phone to create romance with your partner. Maybe a lovey scavenger hunt, or a series of short, cute love quotes throughout the day?
• You Light Up My Life Romantic Idea – Quick, simple, and only as far away as the dollar or toy store.
