If you love Valentine’s Day like me, you probably look forward to planning a special date for your significant other, and no Valentine’s Day celebration is complete without a few gifts for your bae.
Chocolates and flower bouquets are classic options, but this year, why not spring for something you can enjoy together? These 15 couple gifts are perfect for you and your Valentine to use together, both on February 14 and beyond!
1. A really, really big blanket
Finally, a blanket that's big enough to share!
I don’t know about you, but in my house, we have two separate throw blankets on the couch because they’re simply not big enough for two people (and our dog) to share. However, if you actually want to cuddle up with that special someone on Valentine’s Day, the Big Blanket will keep you both toasty warm—with room to spare! These extra-large blankets are 10 by 10 feet, making them a must-have for cozy nights on the couch.
2. A couple’s journal with daily writing prompts

Get to know your significant other a little deeper with this fun couple’s journal. Our Q&A a Day includes short, sweet daily prompts—things like “Where would you like to travel with your partner?” and “What does your partner's laugh sound like?”—as well as space for you and your boo to write answers. The journal includes three years' worth of prompts, so it's a cute activity you can enjoy for a long time.
