A Baker’s Dozen of Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas
Perfumes and Such
(1 and 2)
- Bella Vita Organic Perfumes: Like I mentioned in an earlier post, when I got my order of the perfumes (the first one below), my daughter immediately picked one of them for herself! And now I am getting another set for her for sometime soon (her birthday is coming soon too). These perfumes smell wonderful, and are in an elegant giftable box making it so easy to, well, gift them!
- Woman Eau De Parfum Gift Set 4×20 ml Date, Senorita, Glam, Rose Perfume
- Unisex Luxury Perfume Gift Set 4×20 ML for Men & Women | Long Lasting Fragrance Eau De Parfum | SKAI | FRESH | WHITEOUD | PATCHOULI
- Man Luxury Perfume Gift Set 4×20 ML for Men with Dominus, Oud, CEO, Impact Perfume|Woody, Citrusy Long Lasting EDP & EDC Fragrance Scent |80 ML
- CEO MAN Eau De Parfum with Lemon, Lavender, Tonka & Agarwood | Long Lasting Perfume for men, 15% Perfume Oil Concentration | Gift for men | 3.3 Fl.oz
- Luxury Honey Oud Eau de Parfum, Patchouli, Vanilla, Bergamot, Floral & Spicy + Made with Clean & Vegan Essentials Oils + Cruelty Free
- And if you want something different, then try solid perfumes. I am tempted by this perfume that comes in a handcarved soapstone jar. The perfume is prepared using essential oils and bees wax
Toys and Games
(3, 4, and 5)
- Puzzles
- FOLDOLOGY – The Origami Puzzle Game! This one is so very cool and sure to delight loved ones of all ages. If you want, you can get the Combo Pack which offers more to challenge and enjoy. Its compact size makes it ideal for travel and its concept makes it a unique gift for anytime of the year, and for anyone at all. With different difficulty levels, it can keep families occupied for hours! I love that it can be paried with other items, like STEM books, or multicultural books, and offers both relaxation and work for the brain at the same time!
- These stunningly beautiful wooden puzzles from ZenChalet offer hours of enjoyment and will result in a piece of art you can display as well in the end! Also, they have a promotion on at this time (from 5% to 15% based on how many puzzles you are buying)
- The Tree of Life is the one that I hope to work on soon. It is a 1000 piece puzzle so I am thinking I will need to set time aside for it 🙂
- If you are looking for something with fewer pieces, then I recommend the 200 piece puzzles like this Guitar shaped one for music lovers (also available, a drum set) or these sea animals (an octopus and a sea turtle among them)
- Or if you need something in between, then these meditative puzzles (including the Yin Yang, a Yoga Pose, and the Hamsa) might be what you will love
- Games
- This deck of Conversation Cards for Kids makes an ideal gift for family nights. With tons of questions, this is sure to spark fun conversations that will bring everyone together. Its portable size makes it perfect for taking along on road trips as well. Check out their other sets as well, including ones for
- Best Friends and Families
- Grandparents
- Coworkers
- and more

Book-ish
(6, 7, & 8 )
Book Vases from Steel Mill & Co. These ceramic vases are vibrant and feature artwork inspired by beloved titles. They can function as vases or a place to store writing instruments too! And they are sure to instantly dress up any space.
- the pictured Secret Garden one. Pair it with a spiral notebook that features a cover as colorful as this
- For the Wonderland fans, there is a Through the Looking Glass vase
- While Austen fans will love this Pride and Prejudice version

And I am loving these Custom Mini Bookish Items! For those of you who want it ready for you, here are a few options, and for those who want to DIY it (like I plan to), there is a ton of other options available.
The Etcs
(9 thru 13 to complete the baker’s dozen)
- I am loving this Gochujang Sriracha sauce from Bushwick. We have used it with hakka noodles, veggies, and tofu; as a dipping sauce with fries and spring rolls; and even on pizza and toast!! This is perfect for the foodie in your life!
- Pens: It is always great to have a whole set of pens with you for all your writing and sketching needs.
- This set of a dozen fine-point pens is great for journaling and sketching as well.
- And if you are looking for the classic fountain pen (I loved the Hero pen from my schooldays!), then this stunning BASTION fountain pen is for you.
- Pair those pens with a journal or two, maybe personalized ones like this with a floral monogram and name on the cover, or something lending a touch of luxury like this beautiful Flower- Printed Italian Soft Leather Journal
- These custom family art creations, from cartoons to portraits to ink sketches, make great gifts for so many – friends, family members, and others. I have handpicked a few favorites in the link.
- Last, but not the least, a handmade card and anything else handmade to accompany any and all of the other gifts (made by you!)
And Now, the End of This Post

Linking this baker’s dozen of Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas to Thursday 13.
Those are some great ideas.
Vidya, the book vases and the beautifully shaped puzzles captured me! I seldom use fragrances, but some essential oils serve the purpose without aggravating nearby allergies. Thanks for a powerful list of thrilling ideas!
I like the journal What I Love about You. I like these conversation cards by psychotherapist Ester Perel. https://game.estherperel.com/
Wonderful ideas! I particularly like the mini bookshelves. Maybe someone will get one for me. They seem to be quite popular lately! XO
I love all of these ideas! I am all about unique gifts for valentine’s day and these are all fabulous choices.
I love the book vases. What a cool way to display flowers.
These are all fun and lovely ideas. I would enjoy many of these things. It would be nice to try that Gochujang sauce, and I always love good pens and paper.
The conversation cards for kids are also a brilliant suggestion to make family nights more fun.
Books and games would make for a lovely Valentine’s day gift! Going outside of the traditional norm can be really fun.
he idea of gifting a set of such beautifully crafted fragrances is both classic and thoughtful. And your suggestion about the solid perfumes in a hand-carved soapstone jar is so unique – definitely going to consider it for a special someone!
I love the idea of getting games and puzzles, that is a good time in my opinion. I also love the idea of getting perfume, that is always a good gift for me!
These toys seem very interesting. Too bad my son is kinda outgrown these ideas. I think they are cool. Maybe my lil nephew would enjoy them.
These are great Valentine’s Day gift ideas! I’d love that Gochujang Sriracha sauce.
I love all the ideas for the games and puzzles, it is too bad that my kid’s kind an outgrown. But they are all cool as well
Such great gift ideas for the Valentine’s day! I’d love to get Bella Vita Organic Perfumes for myself 😍.
I do love the Pride & Prejudice version. I can’t believe V.Day is right around the corner already.
