Find out how we make Valentine\u2019s Day gifts<\/a> a cause for celebration, not a formality.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Should it be a surprise? A luxury item? Or simply practical? We all want Valentine\u2019s Day gifts to be a natural expression of love, and that\u2019s very much related to how long you\u2019ve been together.<\/p>\n

Here at Pinkoi, the Pinkoists all have different ideas on how gift-giving should be for Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>. Have you been dating for 6 months? 3 years? Here are the gifts we suggest accordingly!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

? Dating over 3 months, or not yet official<\/h2>\n

You like each other, you\u2019re not entirely sure yet how things might go, but you do not want to do nothing. At this time, you\u2019re not exactly an item yet, so go easy with luxury items that can stress each other out or couple sets that are a bit awkward. Instead, give a Valentine\u2019s Day gift that complements his\/her identity and shows what you know about the special person.<\/p>\n

I gave her earrings. She likes earrings. I found out she prefers smaller earrings, and nothing dangly.
Normally, I try to find pieces that reflect elements of her personality or her style. \u00a0Some small ones I’ve picked out were these illustrated roses<\/a> I found on Pinkoi. The most successful selection I’ve ever made were the Mt. Fuji earrings from C3CraftStudio. These cool cement pieces have two tones. She wears these ones most often.\u2014Marketing manager Kris<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

? Dating over 6 months, or recently official<\/h2>\n

We looked back at our early dating days and agreed at this stage of relationship, all we want to do is tear our hearts out and give our all! The restaurant you had to book months in advance? The fancy designer handbag? Helping with chores for an entire week? All reasonable Valentine\u2019s Day gifts! The relationship is flourishing and the only worry is not giving enough.<\/p>\n

He used to be really pleased with himself with\u00a0those \u201csuper thoughtful\u201d Valentine\u2019s Day gifts\u00a0which, in reality, would leave me speechless… But even if the gift isn\u2019t something I want or need, the incredible effort is enough to delight both of us!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If this is the situation you\u2019re in, go for surprises or luxurious items. For example, a sweet and over-the-top DIY project: It will make for good memories, especially if you\u2019re putting in the effort despite feeling embarrassed about your art skills. Material goods can help you express your passionate heart: New and trendy products that people talk about but never really dreamed of owning will make your SO feel really special.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve dated for over two years. For a Valentine\u2019s Day gift, I like to give things that he for sure would use, so the gift is usually something that he needs. My boyfriend is the type who grumbles when he needs something he doesn\u2019t have, so it\u2019s easy for me to know what he needs! On top of that, I like to add a personal touch on these things, so one time I gave him a coin purse in a beautiful Turkish blue, with his name engraved on the zipper. It looks great and is so durable!\u2014 Editor Litta<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is very embarrassing, but I don\u2019t put that much thought into presents! One time I even gave my boyfriend a birthday gift after his birthday was already over\u2026 and it was just a pizza t-shirt\u2026 It\u2019s not something I give a lot of thought to. When I really have to, I get last minute gifts by checking out gift suggestions from our editor\u2019s Pinkoi gift guides<\/a>. Oh man, I\u2019m such a bad example.\u2014Anonymous Pinkoist<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Being together long enough means you stop racking your brains for extravagant surprises. Instead, you want to take care of both her heart and her health by embracing her ups and downs and know where she is physically and emotionally. That would make a good Valentine\u2019s Day gift!\u2014UI\/UX designer Danny<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At this stage of the relationship, you already know what to expect from each other on many levels. Therefore, I suggest gifting something that improves your S.O.\u2019s quality of life. Practical, functional items with next-level quality is a good choice for Valentine\u2019s Day, because you\u2019re demonstrating your affections by being mindful of his needs.\u2014Designer Relations, Raffi<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At this time, you\u2019re done with declaring \u201cownership\u201d over matchy matchy outfits and couple set items. Instead, it\u2019s about helping each other get what you knew you wanted. True, being next to each other day and night, it\u2019s easy to know each other\u2019s likes and needs. But if you want to to aim better and try harder, you can do these things: Reference her Pinterest, check out her shopping carts and wishlists on shopping sites, or really listen when she complains (such as her phone case is falling apart again)\u2014they tell you exactly what she needs.\u2014Editor Nicholas<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Surprisingly, Pinkoists are pretty down to earth! But whatever their Valentien\u2019s Day gift suggestions are, some themes are common: With a pair of listening ears and observant eyes, you can make even the most practical gifts special with things like customization, an eye on quality and durability, and creative thinking.<\/span> If it works for us, it will work for you, too!<\/p>\n
