People tend to give a few classic gifts on Valentine’s Day that have stood the test of time and keep topping lists each year. Flowers, especially red roses, are often seen as the symbol of romance, while chocolates and sweets are beloved because they feel fun and indulgent. Greeting cards are everywhere leading up to February 14, with millions exchanged between couples, friends, classmates and family. Jewelry and romantic evenings out are also popular ways to celebrate for couples looking for something a bit more special. Some people also get creative with personalized or experiential gifts like handwritten letters, small trips or crafts that show thought and effort. While commercial pressure can be intense, the best gifts often reflect what matters most to the person getting them. Whatever you choose, gifts that show appreciation and connection are the names of the game.
