Boring-Proof Valentine’s Day Gifts



If you are like me, Valentine’s Day is one of the best holidays to exist. It doesn’t matter if you are single, there are so many people to express your love to on Valentine’s Day. Yes. You can get a v-day gift for your dog. Anyways, if your love language is gifting then here is a great list of unordinary gifts to give.


Sporting Event Ticket: Grab a low priced sporting ticket on gametime.co! Gametime has last minute tickets that are cheaper than usual. Gametime even has college game tickets, including UIC. Activities are always the best and most memorable gifts. 


Sight, Scent, Sound, Taste, Touch: “Being your best friend makes perfect sense :)” The idea of this gift is to give 5 small things that correlate with a sense. Here are some examples…. Sight: a picture of you two. Scent: your friend’s favorite candle. Sound: a playlist made specially for them. Taste: their favorite candy. And Touch: a pair of fuzzy socks. This gift is easy and creative.



Personalized Snack Pack: A personalized gift shows your love for your friend or partner. I love this gift idea because it is so exciting to receive your favorite snacks. The key to this gift is to have great packaging. Prop all the snacks up in a cute box with v-day themed colored tissue paper. You can also put the snacks in a basket and wrap the basket in clear cellophane wrap found at the dollar store. 




Cooking Class: Cooking with your loved ones is a cherishable moment. This can be done at home or you can buy tickets and venture out to a restaurant for a cooking class. In Chicago there are cooking classes everywhere. A way to find a discounted one is to log onto Groupon.com and search for cooking classes. Here is one I found that looks so fun: https://www.groupon.com/deals/pizzeria-uno-deep-dish-pizza-cooking-class-chicago


Hobby Gift: A “hobby gift” is a gift your loved ones will definitely use. This gift relates to their favorite things to do. For example, if your best friend loves to read you could get them a new book. If your partner really likes to play video games you could get them led light strips to put behind their gaming computer. You could even get your dog a new treat or toy 🙂 

Valentine’s Day gifts are about your love not money. More thought in your gifts shows you care more. These gift ideas can be done in a cost effective way. And remember cute packaging makes the gift!
