Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Couples With a Playful Spirit

Ah, the Day of Love, Hearts Day, Lovebirds Day, Affection Day, Lovers’ Holiday, also known as the infamous Valentine’s Day. And guess what? It’s right around the corner. Do you know what your special someone really wants? Or are you like me, completely clueless with just days to go?

The Quest for the Perfect Gift

This holiday drives me crazy because my sweetheart always says, “Don’t get me anything for Valentine’s Day, it’s just another day, sweetheart.” But I know what that really means, I had better give it my best shot. Plus, with so many choices online, it gets confusing fast.

Every year, I try to find something unique, something no one else will give her. That way, when she unwraps it, everyone around will say, "Wow! Where did he find that?" And I’ll think, “Winner, winner, chicken dinner.”

Now, I’m not a big Amazon shopper, but my wife has Amazon Prime (which means she’s a pro at this). So, naturally, I started scrolling through some crazy Valentine’s Day gift ideas, and let me tell you, I found some wild ones.

Gifts I Thought Were Genius… But Were NOT

Over the years, I’ve had some serious fails when it comes to Valentine’s gifts for my wife. I’m talking about.

  • Fancy lingerie – (She never wore it.)
  • Insulated lumberjack onesie pajamas – (Also never worn.)
  • A professional Kirby vacuum cleaner – (Biggest mistake ever. To this day, I still get reminded about it every time she uses it.)
  • Brand new pots and pans – (Apparently, not the romantic gesture I thought it was.)

Home Runs in Gift Giving

I’m not giving up on being a Valentine’s Day gift pro! A few years ago, I knocked it out of the park by giving her a new wedding ring to renew my love for her, that was a World Series grand slam. Last year, I surprised her with a golden retriever puppy, and she fell in love instantly. Another home run.

As I continue my search for this year’s ultimate Valentine’s gift, I came across a list from BestProducts.com featuring funny and fun Valentine’s Day gifts that just might get a reaction like, "This is cool. Where did you get this?"
