Last-Minute Valentine's Day Gift Ideas

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and you don’t want to be caught empty-handed for the one you love.  

If you’re still stumped about what to get your special someone, we’ve got you covered. 

 You can’t go wrong with these last-minute Valentine's Day gift ideas! 

A Classic or Mini Orchid  

Colorful and easy to care for, our classic orchids or mini orchids make the perfect gift. Classic orchids are ideal for your significant other, while their smaller-scale counterparts are great for friends, family members, or budding relationships.  

Orchids bloom throughout the year and just need 1-3 ice cubes a week, depending on their size. Best of all, they come in various colors to fit any personality.  

The long-lasting blooms make orchids the perfect gift, allowing your loved one to keep a stunning plant in their space for up to 8 weeks!  

A holiday together 

Quality time is something that most couples love to have together. So, instead of the traditional date night, plan something bigger! Whether it’s a weekend trip, a regular vacation or just a staycation, a ‘holiday’ together is a great way to celebrate. It doesn’t even have to fall on Valentine’s Day either, you can plan the trip for the future and share your plans in a heartfelt note for your loved one.  

Dinner at a fancy spot

This is a classic way to celebrate the holiday, but you can make a great gift too by choosing a restaurant that’s a bit fancier than your usual spot. Try a great steakhouse in your city, or something that’s been nominated for an award – it's great to share that experience with your partner, too.  

A Massage 

Nothing says “I love you” like treating your significant other to a relaxing massage. And if you’re already scouring deal sites, you can find something that fits within your budget. Either buy them an individual massage or make it a date night with a couple's experience!   

Heart-shaped Candy 

This one is super-easy, inexpensive, and works for everyone. Regardless of your budget, most stores will have candy displays right at the front of the store, making it easy to grab something your loved one would enjoy.  

If you’re looking to stay home for the holiday, either for more quality time, or to save money – we have a few ideas for you!   

Try a DIY Project Together  

Doing a hands-on activity is a great way to mix up date night and try something new! Instead of just dinner or a movie, check out a local garden center for a class on how to make a terrarium or fairy garden. You could also take a pottery class together and make a pot for a plant you love or try a paint-and-sip night and create some garden-inspired artwork.  For more DIY projects you can make together, including orchid centerpieces, check out our DIY inspiration blog.  

Make a Plant-Based Meal  

Cook your love a tasty plant-based meal like this three-course dinner from Oh She Glows. You can even incorporate edible flowers as an accent in your salad or entree. Prefer a breakfast-in-bed approach? Try these strawberry shortcake pancakes.  

Your Valentine's Day celebration doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive to be meaningful. Simply making a project together, enjoying a meal, or reminding your sweetheart of your enduring love with a long-lasting gift can go a long way. We hope you’ll find inspiration in one of these ideas to make your Valentine’s Day better with gift ideas for plant lovers!
