All Our Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Coming up with new gift ideas year after year isn’t always easy. While birthdays and Christmas are key moments in the calendar, Valentine’s Day stands apart as a celebration dedicated entirely to love. Even though we don’t need a special date to show affection, Valentine’s Day acts as a gentle reminder — a chance to pause, think of the person we love, and enjoy the simple joy of giving. Let us help you find the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

The Origin of Valentine’s Day: Where Does This Tradition Come From?

Many stories and legends — more or less closely linked — surround the origins of Valentine’s Day. Here is one of the most well-known.

In 14th-century England, people believed that 14 February was the day birds chose their mates. Poets of the time embraced this idea, gradually turning the date into a celebration of love and friendship. By the 19th century, the tradition of exchanging handwritten love notes had become widespread. These messages were known as “Valentines”. The celebration later gained commercial popularity in the United States in the mid-19th century — and it continues to this day.

Whether celebrated with enthusiasm or quietly ignored, Valentine’s Day remains the day devoted to honouring love.

What Gift Should You Give on Valentine’s Day? How About Something a Little Different?

We all know the classic Valentine’s Day gifts: chocolates, flowers, jewellery, soft toys — and, of course, lingerie. Familiar, comforting… and often predictable.

At Amikado, we invite you to think differently. Declaring your love is wonderful — but expressing it through an original, thoughtful and personalised gift makes it even more meaningful. This 14 February, choose a gift that truly reflects your relationship: the personalised present.

What truly matters isn’t the price, the size or the number of gifts — it’s the emotion behind them. A Valentine’s Day gift should reflect your love for him or her and create a genuine emotional connection. Personalised gifts do exactly that, offering a keepsake that can be treasured for years — perhaps even forever. Amikado’s collection of gifts for lovers includes ideas for every age, taste and budget, from a simple personalised photo keyring to an elegant personalised leather weekend bag.

For hands-on types, a personalised knife engraved with his name — Swiss Army knife, Opinel or Laguiole — makes a practical yet meaningful gift.

The woman you love — whether for a lifetime or simply for this Valentine’s Day 2026 — deserves a moment that feels truly special. Explore our collection of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her.

If she enjoys slow weekend mornings wrapped in comfort, a personalised embroidered dressing gown with her name or initials makes a beautiful choice — especially when paired with a matching personalised towel.

A timeless Valentine’s favourite for women: the gold rose in its engraved case — handcrafted, dipped in 24-carat gold and designed never to fade, just like your love.

Jewellery also remains a powerful symbol of affection. Choose a sterling silver or gold-plated bracelet or necklace engraved with her name — or even your children’s names — blending romance with sentiment. Our personalised jewellery is available on cord, chain or Liberty ribbon.

Valentine’s Day Gifts for Couples: Celebrate Your Love Together

Personalised Valentine’s gifts are a beautiful way to symbolise the bond between two people. Our couple gift selection is designed with this idea in mind.

The engraved duo heart keyring is a perfect example — each partner keeps half of a heart engraved with the other’s initials, a discreet reminder of your connection.

The personalised love cushion duo adds a playful touch to your home décor, while the Valentine’s towel duo brings a coordinated, light-hearted “love is in the air” feel to the bathroom.

You’ll find many more romantic ideas in our couples’ Valentine’s Day gifts selection.

An Original Valentine’s Day Gift Without Breaking the Bank? Absolutely.

Giving a Valentine’s Day gift doesn’t mean spending a fortune. Instead of classic red roses, choose a personalised gift that carries meaning — without the high price tag.

One popular option is our personalised succulent plant: eco-friendly, modern and long-lasting, complete with a customised tag bearing your own message.

Another favourite is the personalised Valentine’s candle, engraved with your words and a design created especially for this occasion.

For everyday romance, opt for a Love mug personalised with a photo — or, for those with a sweet tooth, a giant Toblerone personalised with their name.

You can also choose a personalised love declaration poster, and refine your search by budget to find the perfect gift at the right price.
