PSA: V-Day is coming soon, but pls do yourself a favor and save the practical odds and ends for the (many) other gift-giving occasions that happen throughout the year. Bc unlike a birthday, February 14 has a theme (~love~, in case that wasn’t abundantly clear). So while slipping a pair of cute socks or a lil beanie under the tree might work in December, those kinds of gifts simply don’t work as well for a romantic holiday. For this day o’ love, you wanna make your partner feel butterflies! Goosebumps! Magic!! You want them to shed a single tear because they finally realize just how much you love ’em. At the very least, you want them to feel extra special. And the easiest way to do this? Personalized Valentine’s Day gifts!

For example, gifting someone a pack of underwear can venture majorly into grandma territory, but customize the boxers with pics of your face and it becomes an iconic gift for your BF of three years. Even options like a luxurious gold necklace or a new summer tote are made better with the simple addition of a monogram. Why? Because personalization is everything, ppl. Need some examples?

Our picks for the best personalized Valentine's Day gifts in 2024:

So skip the drugstore teddy bear that says “I’m so sorry I didn’t buy something else earlier” and opt for a personalized Valentine’s Day gift instead. They might take a little more time to arrive than a regular box of chocolates with two-day shipping (so, you know, bear that in mind!), but they’re worth it.
