10 Terrific Valentine’s Gift Ideas (with Discount Codes!)

Written by Kathryn Vercillo on February 10, 2010

Many of the merchants on our website are doing special things for Valentine’s Day. They’re offering great products and they’re offering you a deal on them. If you haven’t finished your Valentine’s shopping (or you thought you were going to make something for your sweetie and now you realize that you don’t have enough time) then the following ten gift ideas could help you out. And yes, there are promotional codes to make every single one of them a little bit less expensive.

1) Jewellery. This is one of the most popular Valentine’s Day gifts there are. Diamonds and gold are the most popular choices but you can also go with something a little more unique (and a little less expensive). Consider your sweetheart’s personal style and you’ll make the right choice. Use our Goldsmiths discount code or our Christopher Ward discount code to save money on this favorite Valentine’s buy. Or if you’re ready to pop the question then use our Purely Diamonds to save money on an engagement ring.

2) Flowers. You really can’t go wrong with flowers as a Valentine’s gift (unless you happen to be dating someone who has some serious allergies!) They are great by themselves or you can add them to a second gift to give your sweetheart something really special. Skip the roses since they tend to be pricey and get something a little less costly instead. They’ll still be very appreciated. Our Interflora can help to lower the price.

3) Weekend getaway. One of the best gifts that you can give your baby is some quality time spent alone together. It’s easier to do that when you go away to a new destination. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on this Valentine’s escape as long as you practice budget travel habits. Use our Eurolines to save some money.

4) Romantic night at a local hotel. If you don’t want to spend the money to leave town then why not just leave the house? Spending a single night at a great local hotel doesn’t have to cost a lot of money and it can still make you feel like you’re on a Valentine’s vacation. Use our Macdonald Hotels, our Marriott Hotel or our Ramada Jarvis to save some money on this great gift.

5) Kitchen gadgets. It’s tough to buy the right practical gift for someone for Valentine’s Day. You don’t want to be accused of being unromantic. And yet, practical gifts are always best since they’ll actually be used throughout the year. Kitchen gadgets are great gifts. Get something a little bit fun and seemingly impractical that will still be used. Try our Kitchen Science if you go this route.

6) Gift basket of indulgences. Buy a few little personal treats and put them together in a gift basket for your darling. For example, a few small bottles of lotion, fancy soaps and body wash make a great little gift basic. You can use our Salon Skincare or FeelUnique to find some great items to add to your basket.

7) An adventurous date for two. Spend your Valentine’s together doing something daring. Go bunjee jumping or kite surfing. Do something different. The adrenaline rush will make you fall in love all over again. Check out our Attractiontix or our Activity Superstore for some great ideas and deals.

8 ) Clothing. Whether you get your doll something practical to wear every day or some sort of lingerie to be worn only on special occasions, clothing always makes a good gift. We have clothing promotional codes from La Redoute, Ann Summers and Dorothy Perkins.

9) Chocolate. This is the quintessential Valentine’s Day gift and it never gets old. Getting treated to your favorite types of chocolate is always a wonderful thing. If you happen to be dating someone who isn’t a chocolate fan (yes, they exist, weird though that may be) then getting their favorite candies or treats is also an option. Use our Chocolate Trading Company to buy your chocolate lover something at a great price.

10) A great Valentine’s card. There’s nothing wrong with just giving your darling a Valentine’s card. Some couples agree not to spend a lot of money on this holiday and a card is a terrific inexpensive way to say that you’re thinking about someone. Our Yoodoo make the cost of your card even cheaper,

No matter what gifts you decide to give this Valentine’s Day, try to keep your frugal goals in mind. Use discount codes and keep in mind that it’s the thought that counts.
