Valentine’s Day Gifts You’ll Want to Steal From Your Partner

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Instead of exchanging gifts with your significant other on February 14, why not try buying Valentine’s Day gifts for couples to enjoy together. Here’s why you should do so: As much as we love getting our own present that we can love and cherish forever, there’s something sweet about unwrapping an item both parties can enjoy. This year, skip the jewelry, flowers, and chocolates and opt for one of the much more creative options, below, that will keep the fun, laughter, and occasional swoon strong.

From a picture frame that looks like it’s made entirely of bright pink frosting to a set of cooling eucalyptus pillowcases that keep both of you cool, there are more than a few worthy options to shop ahead. No matter what you end up picking, rest assured that it’s something you and your special someone will use, do, or appreciate together. So before adding it to your cart, make sure it’s something you’ll both be excited about. Luckily, we’ve considered every hobby and passion out there, so there’s something for literally everyone, including the home chefs, novice decorators, budding photographers, and more.

Our only suggestion? Don’t wait too long to order your present because several of our top picks are customizable, which may take at least a week or two to get to you. If, for whatever reason, Valentine’s Day slipped your mind, plenty of our favorite finds are from Amazon, so feel free to take advantage of Prime’s free two-day shipping. Finally, after you procure your gift and wrap it, pour your heart out in a themed Valentine’s Day card.

The Luminous Capsule

For couples with an affinity for hosting, Brightland's newest capsule collection is a must-have. It includes three essential ingredients for pretty much any dish. There's the famous cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, raw Champagne vinegar fermented with California chardonnay grapes and oranges, and lastly, the California orange blossom honey, which is our personal favorite. If you're wondering where to get that brassy spout, rest assured that it's included.

Pillowcase Set

Silk pillowcases may be all the rage, but we're just as obsessed with eucalyptus ones, which are cool-to-the-touch, highly breathable, and actually designed to become softer with each wash. This specific type of fabric absorbs moisture way more efficiently than traditional cotton, so if either party sleeps hot, these will be a game-changer. Opt for any of the 13 additional colors, all of which are dyed with plant-based, natural ingredients. No toxins here!

M35 35mm Film Camera

While everyone can snap a few pics on their smartphones, there's something a bit more charming and real, if you will, about taking photos on an old-school film camera. Just don't forget to buy the film!

Restore 2 Sunrise Alarm Clock

The Hatch Restore is an item that you don't think you need until you actually use it. After that, you can't imagine living without it. Here's why: This product acts as a sound machine, smart light, personal sleep routine planner, dimmable clock, and gentle alarm clock. Gone are the days of waking up to the blaring sound of a more traditional alarm.

Woven Cozy Throw Blanket

A throw blanket is always a good couples gift because it encourages both people to snuggle up and relax. Whether they're staying warm during movie nights, as they sip their morning coffees, or anything in between, they'll appreciate their newfound coziness.

Wood and Marble Serving Platter

Made of solid marble and wood, this personalized serving platter, which includes the three matching condiment bowls, is a fabulous gift for weddings, anniversaries, and, of course, Valentine's Day. If they like to play host to their friends and family, they'll break this out for every dinner party, big or small.

White Wine Variety Bundle

For the wine connoisseurs, a bundle of Bright Cellars's best white pours is a solid choice. Each bottle is picked by the brand's master sommelier based on the recipient's preferences, so you know they'll love whatever comes their way. Not to mention, Bright Cellars also offers variety bundles with a mixture of wine types (red, white, rosé, and more) and membership options.

Archer Barware Ice Bucket

Al fresco feasts call for lots and lots of ice, especially in the summer. This is the kind of entertaining must-have that people rarely want to buy for themselves, but once they start using one, they'll never go back to life without it. If you want to go the extra mile, spend an extra $15 and have it monogrammed.

Old-Fashioned Cocktail Set

What's an ice bucket without a cocktail set to go with it? This collection is technically designed to prepare classic old-fashioned drinks, but feel free to make any cocktail you'd prefer. It comes with a springed strainer, two rocks glasses, a glass mixing pitcher, and a stainless steel and chrome-plated copper bar spoon with muddler.

A Year of Us: A Couple's Journal by Alicia Muñoz

This pick is a bit more sentimental than the others on our list, so if you consider yourself a bit cheesy, you can't go wrong with this one. It's a hardback book whose pages feature just one question intended to inspire conversation. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you may even get a bit heated with your partner.

The Kissing Mugs

We couldn't help ourselves. How adorable are these kissing mugs? Designed to fit together in a sweet lip lock, these ceramic mugs will make any morning cup of joe a bit tastier.

Ombre Name Blanket

It's our personal opinion that just about everyone likes getting gifts that are clearly personal. Case in point: a super-soft throw blanket outfitted with your name. Because this is meant to be a gift for couples, we suggest going with the last name rather than a first name. Also, if the couple has kids, their children can enjoy snuggling up in this as well.

S'mores Maker

There's no sweeter treat than s'mores. Contrary to popular opinion, the crunchy and gooey desserts aren't specific to outdoor campfires in the summertime. In fact, if you have a compact miniature set complete with all the fixins you'd need to whip up a few marshmallow sandwiches, you can make them any time. This set comes with a roasting chimney, a stainless-steel fuel can, a grill top, four roasting sticks, and a ceramic tray.

Date Night Ideas

Couples who have been together for a long time know that date night isn't as exciting as it once was—until now. Keep the romance alive with these 35 cards. Each one features a unique date idea that will get those sparks flying again.

Enamel Dutch Oven

A cooking staple in any well-to-do kitchen, Le Creuset's iconic Dutch oven is an investment piece that will be cherished for years and years. If you've ever heard the phrase "you get what you pay for" and wondered if it's true, know that in this case, it is. Le Creuset is a heritage cookware brand whose wares make any dish taste better. Plus, they're so beautiful that you'll want to leave it on display when you're not using it to prepare a delectable dish or two.

Recipe Tin

Another must for couples who bond best in the kitchen? A recipe tin with enough room for about 100 cards (24 of which are included). There are also 12 dividers for different types of dishes, including appetizers, salads, pastas, meat dishes, and more. If you've never ordered anything from Rifle Paper Co. before, enjoy 15 percent off your first purchase.

New Home Candle

Moving into their first shared home is a pretty big milestone for any couple, so if you want to commemorate the occasion, a new home-scented candle is a good way to go. Unlike a new car, which has a pretty distinct scent, new homes all smell differently, so Homesick took their best shot at developing an aroma anyone would love. It features notes of jasmine, cedarwood, lime, sandalwood, oakmoss, and musk.

Personalized Couples Matchbox

Another custom gift we're coveting? This oversized wooden matchbox designed with a custom insignia in a vintage-inspired color palette that recalls Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet. Note: matches aren't included, so if you want this gift to have the full effect, make sure to pick up a box before handing it to your partner.

Bisous Sugar Lips, Set of 4

"I have a massive sweet tooth and love all candy, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be Sugarfina's sugar lips," Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner admits. "They're chewy, but not so chewy that you'll have to spend an hour picking them out of your teeth. They're also the perfect balance between sour and sweet."

6-Quart Slow Cooker

These slow cookers by Drew Barrymore tend to sell out fast, so if you or your partner loves a good stew, soup, or roast, snag this affordable find before it's gone. There's nothing tastier than a hot dinner that's been cooking all day in this elegant machine.

Our Bucket List Adventures by Korie Herold

Here's another great gift in book-form. Similar to the previous one on our list, this one is interactive. In order to use it correctly, you have to take copious notes on all of your adventures, both real and hopeful. There's even a section for photos, ticket stubs, and other memorabilia to help you commemorate your experiences.

Couple's Split Bedding

If your partner is prone to hogging the covers, this will save your relationship. As its name implies, the split bedding's designed for two. Simply tie the pieces together during the day when the bed is made, and separate them when it's time for bed.

Sprinkle Picture Frame

A picture frame is always a good idea, and this one looks good enough to eat. Though you can pop in any photo that tickles your fancy, we suggest displaying one from a celebration, like a birthday or a wedding—anywhere cake was present!

Original & Extra Hot Combo

Unlike our previous pick, this gift actually is edible, but it's spicy so nosh with caution. The duo includes the brand's original and extra hot bottles, which both taste delicious on pizza, if we do say so ourselves.

Modern Wall Tile, Set of 4

Gallery walls are always a sweet way to savor those sweet memories without having to sacrifice valuable table or counter space. Available in three finishes and two styles (full bleed or matted), these tiles are a sure-fire way to keep the love alive. Did we mention that each tile has a drop-in feature so that you can swap your photos whenever you please?

Canape Platter

"I have a soft spot for the online treasure trove that is Abask," Cherner explains. "Everything is handmade by artisans all over the world, so each piece—no matter how big—is truly one-of-a-kind." This slender platter, for instance, is hand-thrown, kiln-fired, signed, and dated at Terrafirma Ceramics's New York studio.

My Family Cookbook

This is no ordinary cookbook. It's a completely customizable recipe collection to which you, your partner, and your family near and far can contribute to. Whether you get the spiral or hardback version, this will become a cherished treasure you'll want to pass down.

Flower Shop Doormat

Nothing is more welcoming than a doormat, so the least you can do is make it a pretty one. This is an easy favorite you and your partner will certainly love.

Personalized Bourbon Barrel Flight

This one may be a bit niche, but as anyone who enjoys a good bourbon can tell you, a custom flight set (with glasses included) can instantly elevate just about any tasting. Whether you share them with your partner on date night or invite a few friends over to join in the fun, this elegant barrel flight will keep the party going.

Olive Tree

Olive trees represent friendship, reconciliation, and peace, so giving one to your partner to keep in your shared home is a symbolic gesture of kindness that will go a long way for your relationship.
