This Valentine’s Day, if you’re planning to stroll into the first gift shop to get a generic card, a box of chocolates, and a bouquet for them, we warn you, Cupid’s watching!
In romance, such crimes can sentence you straight to ‘singlehood’! Or even worse, the dreaded ‘silent treatment’ for who knows how long!
We understand Valentine’s Day can be a lot of pressure!
What to get that special someone who’s always making your life easy but is the biggest problem of your life? That special someone who annoys you the most but you just can’t live without them?
You might struggle to find the perfect gift for them, but trust us, it’s simpler than you think.
After all, it’s the thought that matters.
Let us help you! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and you are running out of time!
Best ideas for Valentine’s day gifts:
While a candlelit dinner or a movie date might be the safer bets for Valentine’s gift ideas, let’s be real- it’s not exactly “thoughtful”.
Think of something that reminds them of you, something useful, or an experience that lives on.
We’ve put together a little guide to help you find the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone whose smile lights up your world:
1. Gift of self-love:
Often, your loved ones keep themselves on the back burner, prioritizing others.
Gifting skincare and wellness products to your soulmate is like reminding them to always make some time for ‘me time’.
Here are our options for your cutie:
-
Spa it up:
As Monica once asked Chandler, ‘Who doesn’t like a bath?’ and prepared one for him! And we know the rest!
You can do the same for her but the key is making it an experience. That’s where Plum BodyLovin’ Vanilla Vibes Bath & Body set comes in. Giving this as a Valentine’s Day gift to her can earn the ultimate brownie points! There are three essentials inside this kit:
- a sweet vanilla-flavored, deliciously creamy, and moisturizing mild cleansing body wash
- a lightweight, refreshing body mist
- a deeply moisturizing but non-sticky body oil.
This bath kit will turn her shower into an indulgent escape after a stressful day! So while she won’t stop bragging about her soft, glowing skin, you’ll be in pure bliss, surrounded by the sweet scent of cupcakes any time she’s near!
We regret the inconvenience caused as now you might miss her a lot, a lot more!
2. Perfumes:
‘Aroma’ or ‘smell’ is a core element in our memories. Raise your hand if you’ve ever sniffed your partner’s clothes when you’re missing them. Now you know exactly what we’re talking about!
Fragrances are known to stir memories, soothe a sad heart, and even offer spiritual release. The right fragrances not only uplift your mood but leave you feeling fresh and confident! No wonder perfumes were one of the gifts from the Magi—they’re truly a gift to the soul!
So, here’s a range of perfumes your lady love will fall in love with.
(Sorry, men, we feel your FOMO, but this Valentine’s, along with these perfume sets, give her a promise: no more “no shower, just scent” days! Trust us, she might just shed a tear of joy!)
A whimsical range of fragrances in each set, for your ‘whimsical’ beloved so that she could be ‘wild vanilla’ today and ‘everything plum’ tomorrow!
The compact size of the bottles ensures that she always has ‘her fav scent in her purse, even on the go. All the sets come in adorable gift packages that will instantly light up her face!

Face masks:
Sneak a face mask into their skincare routine, and you'll sneak in more quality time together! Picture those lazy Sundays when you two lounge around, carefree and timeless, both sporting face masks.
This isn't just a gift- it’s your excuse to steal more moments with them. Trust us, they’ll love this adorably clingy gesture! Plus, there’s the gift of glowing faces as a bonus!
For oily skin, opt for Plum’s Green tea clear face mask. Excess oil means clogged pores which inevitably leads to breakouts and hyperpigmentation.
Additionally, men with oily skin are even more prone to skin trauma because of shaving. Use it once a week and you’ll never go back to fighting oil and pimples!
Plum’s Chamomile White Tea Glow-Getter Face Mask, suited to all skin types, is the ultimate way to unwind and energize at the end of a stressful week!
Both face packs are perfect for both genders, so if you both have the same skin type, might as well share the products and share the glow!

Skincare range:
This is a perfect Valentine’s Day present for him or her. Your skincare routine is a therapeutic ritual that energizes you in the morning, setting a vibrant tone for the day. Turn skincare into a daily ritual you can do together.
As they say, "Couples who skincare together, stay together!" We like to call it ‘skincare twinning’!
Also many men even today, barely have a skincare regimen! Thus, a good skincare set or a grooming kit can be a great Valentine’s gift for him. Trust us, just one day of the routine and there’s no going back.
Similarly, if your Valentine’s gift for her is skincare or wellness customized to her needs, it’s like saying, "I know you inside and out!" And so the next time she complains about you not paying attention, just remember- she’s probably hinting at a re-up on that gift!
3. DIY gifts:
Handmade gifts are one of the strongest expressions of love. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic or not; no one’s grading you on your work!
Gather some stationery essentials, and let your heart take over the project.
Believe us, messy is cute, especially if your partner loves a decked-up space with little knick-knacks.
Here are a few things you can make for them:
-
A scrapbook or a framed photo collage with your photos and little messages.
-
A handmade card
-
A love-coupon book in which you list out sweet, thoughtful gestures they can redeem whenever they want. Think about doing their laundry, cooking their favorite meal, giving a relaxing massage, etc. It’s a fun, meaningful way to show you care and who doesn’t love a little extra help and pampering?
-
A customised keychain
-
A hand-painted mug
-
Handmade jewelry like clay earrings, lockets
Also, those who can knit, crochet, or sew, can make them anything- from a set of coasters to a sweater!
Dig into your creativity, refer to your notes about what they like, and take charge because handmade gifts are your superpower!
4. Food:
We don’t mean take-outs, we mean really roll up your sleeves and cook for your beloved. You can make handmade chocolates, their favorite meal, bake their favourite cookies, or even mix up a special cocktail for them.
If you are a good cook, you’ve won this game but especially if you’re not, a gesture so cute is bound to get acknowledged and loved.
5. Books or journals:
They make the perfect gift for a partner who loves to read or write. Give them the gift of leisure and let them escape into a world of stories—or reflect in their own personal space.
Make them a bouquet out of books! To kick it up another notch, you can highlight phrases or sentences in the books, leaving messages for your bookworm, throughout their gift. You can also give them a year of library subscription or audible subscription, bookmarks and book sleeves, a reading journal to keep track of their reading, journaling accessories like stickers and stamps, etc.
6. Spend the day with them:
Honestly, this might seem obvious but is one of the best gifts you can give anyone! In today’s fast-paced world, days are draining, conversations feel shallow, and stress seems to be nonstop.
In the middle of all that chaos, sometimes there’s just no time left to spend time with each other.
So, this Valentine’s Day, spend an entire day with them—doing all the things you both love or maybe even just doing nothing at all.
Be clingy, stay close, and just enjoy each other’s company. You’ll be amazed at how a day spent fully in the moment can make your loved one light up with joy. It’ll be a memory you’ll see them cherish for a long, long time!
Don’t be stuck in the loop of ‘Valentine’s Day present ideas’, looking for something ‘PERFECT’!
Because gifts are nothing, if not the tangible form of your ‘IMPERFECT’ feelings! Whether it’s your lover, partner, crush, or just someone you hold dear, Valentine’s present is a warm way to express all those haphazard, rarely expressed feelings.
Go that extra mile for that special someone, who is often taken for granted but stands by you in the rain and shadows, has seen you cry, and has made you laugh! Because if not you, who’ll tell them how much they mean to you?
