Best Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas Based on Your Partner’s Love Language:

If you’re someone who is only reminded of Valentine’s Day when you start seeing banners and ads on social media, then you’re just like the rest of us. We just have one thing to tell you – welcome to the squad and we’re super thrilled to help you get the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your loved one! 

Now we have a tip that we promise not to gatekeep as it is key in helping you find the best gift and will surely win you some brownie points for paying attention to the details. 

The hack is to identify your partner’s love language and if you already know it, then bravo, you’re off to a great start! If you don’t already know, you can read below and pick the one that best catches your interest or one that you feel your partner would surely feel great about. 

But before we get down to it, shoutout to our team members who so kindly shared their first-hand experience with receiving gifts for Valentine’s Day and which ones they considered the best for them. 

Below we’ve broken down what to get them based on their love language:

Words of Affirmation

If your partner’s love language is words of affirmation then thoughtful gifts like personalized messages and cards containing your favorite memories with them or reasons you love them would surely touch their heart. 

You can even get them tiny affirmation cards for every day of the year so they can start their day with positivity. 

If you are creative enough or willing to explore your creativity, you could even write them a poem, a song, or a love letter confessing your eternal love to them. And before you ask, yes our team members have received and given such gifts and it was a total win! (We don’t see why it wouldn’t work because who wouldn’t appreciate the time, effort, and creativity, right?) 

You could even go the extra mile by getting your message printed or written on different items like a cup, book, or keychain if you want to steer clear from the standard cards. 

Quality Time

If your partner’s love language is quality time, congratulations because you’re primarily paying for your gift with your time unless, of course, it is a trip for the two of you to get away from the city or country. 

You could even gift them tickets to a concert or activity that you could do together to reconnect or strengthen your bond such as camping under the stars, couple painting, or pottery. (If your partner isn’t really a sporty or outdoor person, then maybe skip anything that involves camping in the middle of the forest or hiking) 

You can even plan an arcade date or a day at a theme park for the two of you to spend time together. If not, you could buy any DIY kit for you and your partner to do together like building a Lego set, completing a puzzle, or making candles together. 

Bonus: If your partner keeps complaining about you always being on the phone then you can plan a no-electronics date to give your loved one your undivided attention and time. 

Physical Touch

Now before your mind wanders to places we wouldn’t discuss, let’s just say getting a couple’s massage or spa is a wonderful way to physically connect with your partner. But, the key here is to do it for your partner yourself rather than having a stranger pamper them because where’s the fun in that? 

If your partner needs constant reassurance that they’re always on your mind and truly missed, you can even get them touch bracelets (keeping one with you obviously) so that even when you are away, they are reminded of you in a single touch. 

You can even plan a staycation that helps them catch up on any left-out hugs, kisses, and much-needed cuddles.

Acts of Services

If your partner’s love language is acts of service and you’re someone who doesn’t help out as much at home, then you at least know where to start. And if you do, then we’re so proud of you. But you can definitely show your love by planning an intimate date at home and cooking them a home-cooked meal or making them breakfast in bed. 

You could even plan a day where you do everything for them right from making the bed and preparing breakfast, to cleaning up the house and shopping for the groceries, and not letting them lift a finger at all (their heart might just burst with joy)!  

Receiving Gifts

This love language might seem less tedious but the key point is to give the right gift. For instance, if they’re into electronics, then gifting them a gadget like a fitness watch or new earphones would be super helpful. 

If they’re a makeup maven, then gifting them makeup would be ideal and if you’re looking for something cutesy, then our Valentine’s Day Edition Lip Kit – The XOXO Lip Crayon Kit would be the perfect gift for her. 

You could even buy them a bracelet or better yet a promise ring if they’re really into jewelry. Another good gift you can give them is any clothing item that they’ve been really wanting for a long time - such as a jacket, a new pair of socks, or a pair of jeans. You could even get them sneakers but only if you are 101% sure of their choice, size, and preferences. 

Pairing any of these gifting ideas with each other and a box of chocolate and flowers would surely leave a mark on their heart and help you win brownie points with them and their friend squad because who doesn’t flaunt a good Valentine’s Day gift to their friends?
