Valentine’s Day is significant to your relationship, whether it’s new, ancient, or somewhere in between — even if you both choose to skip it and people watch all night (a fine way to spend an evening).
Either way, your specific relationship style can help you determine the best gift to get for the occasion. Whether it’s a nighttime-only affair or more than a decade in the works (or both), show your Valentine this year that you’re definitely on the same page.
We know there’s no perfect mold for love so we strongly recommend you mix-and-match as appropriate from our suggestions for every relationship bucket.
For the ‘wouldn’t-call-us-a-couple’ couple
For the adventuring couple
Your Instagram is enviable and you’re all over the place in the best ways. Good for you and all that but also it can be challenging to add to the repertoire of adventure gear you already own.
For the culinary couple
For the romantically extra couple
Okay, okay, of course I’m going to get to the couple that simply shines through the entire period of Valentine’s Day — or any other excuse to prove their undying love to each other. It’s gross but endearing. Whatever.
For the show-binging couple
What’s worth sharing more than a binge-worthy show? That’s right: A blanket. And since anything can happen under the covers, make sure you’ve got that covered. Meet your Valentine at their texture of choice, though, or they may not reciprocate your enthusiasm.
For the couple headed for marriage
Your upcoming wedding day forces you and your partner into the largest hosting event of your lives, so get some practice.
For the married with babies couple
I know from family that kids are… time-consuming. Give your partner this Valentine’s Day the greatest gift: Alone time. Take the kid or kids and disappear, leaving them to their own devices. Present this idea with a set of sub gifts they can use during their solitude.
We know couples come in many more forms and shapes and abstract ruminations — some of our buckets are metaphors, you know what I mean? Of course you do.
