Creative and Unusual Valentine's Gifts for Your Sweetheart

Valentine's Day is less than one month away! Time to think about the perfect gift for your sweetheart. Need help with a few ideas that he or she is sure to love? Here are 15 picks to suit just about any taste and budget. Plus 15 more small (under $5) add-ons at the end!

This Personalized Constellation Map ($15 from Amazon) depicts the constellations in the night sky at any specific date and location to commemorate an event such as your first date, engagement, wedding, etc. Personalize it even further with your names and the date in elegant gold script. 

Send your sweetheart an impromptu love note through the app and the heart will spin until they retrieve your message with this Lovebox Spinning Heart Messenger ($100 from Uncommon Goods). 

Plan your future adventures together with the "Our Bucket List" Journal ($7 from Amazon). Brainstorm ideas to add to your shared bucket list, then include the completion date, along with photos and stories, as you work through the items on your list. 

Cut flowers die, but this Lego Flower Bouquet ($60 from Lego) will last forever! The two of you can build the colorful 756-piece set together. 

Answer the prompts in the "What I Love About You By Me" Journal ($15 from Walmart) to tell your partner what about them makes your heart skip a beat. 

Dinner for two is a Valentine's tradition, but you know what's even more romantic? Cooking that dinner for two together, with the "Dishes for Two" cookbook ($30 from Macy's). Includes both everyday and special occasion recipes! 

If cooking is not your strong suit, go for a Steaks and Cakes Dinner for 2 ($150 from Goldbelly). Only minimal cooking skills are required to prepare this elegant gourmet meal, which includes heart-shaped filets mignon, Maryland crab cakes, and red velvet cake. 

Fancy chocolates are another traditional Valentine's Day gift, but you can up your game with a Make Your Own Chocolate Truffles Kit ($40 from Uncommon Goods). Customize your 15 truffles with your favorite flavors. 

Set the mood with this Maude Burn No. 1 Massage Candle ($32 from Sephora). Let the candle burn for 15 minutes to release the scent of amber, cedar leaf, clove, lemongrass, medjool date, and tonka bean, then blow out the candle and use the melted jojoba and soybean oil-infused wax as massage oil. 

If your sweetheart enjoys a good cocktail, surprise them with a Cocktail Smoker Kit ($36 from Amazon), which includes a hexagonal glass-top smoker (fits glasses from 1.6" to 3.5" diameters), four tins of flavored wood chips (apple, oak, pecan, cherry), and a hand-held kitchen torch. 

You can adjust the temperature of this Coffee Warmer and Mug ($40 from Cosori) to your preferred beverage temperature and it will stay hot all day long. The mug includes a lid in case you want to carry your mug around - then you can reheat it on the warmer. 

Need some fancy teas for that mug warmer? This Instant Colorful Tea Latte Kit ($30 from Uncommon Goods) is available in Pink Latte, Matcha Latte, or Golden Latte flavors. Simply drop a cube into either hot water or hot milk for a colorful and delicious beverage! Make it extra fancy with the ruby tea, vanilla sugar, and rose petal garnish cubes from the included Latte Art Kit. Each kit makes six lattes. 
Team up with your partner to solve this immersive murder mystery game, "Death at the Dive Bar" from the Hunt a Killer series ($30 from Target). The game includes props and clues for added fun. 

For the Valentine who sings in the shower (or even if they just like to listen to music there), this portable, waterproof, mini shower speaker ($16 from Amazon) is appropriate for home, travel, even camping. A single charge lasts for 10 hours, and the 33-foot Bluetooth range will easily connect to your phone or other compatible devices.
