Valentine’s Day may be a celebration of love, but it can also be stressful trying to find the perfect gift so as not to disappoint your significant other. For Valentine’s Day, it’s often more about the thought that goes into the gift and, this year, we have come up with some wonderfully thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift ideas just for you! Here are 7 of the best Valentine’s Day suggestions for 2024.
7 Valentines Gift Ideas
1. Valentine’s Day DIY
A home-made Valentine’s gift shows that you have given your time and put in some thought. If you live in South Africa, you’ve undoubtedly driven past an informal trader selling wooden, offcut coasters. Why not decorate these with your initials or a heartfelt message to create a cherished keepsake?
2. Valentine’s Day Personalised Gifts
Personalising a gift item shows thoughtfulness, time sacrifice and creates an appearance of rare beauty to enhance the meaningfulness behind the gift. A personalised knife, key chain, set of pyjamas or even bath robes can make a fantastic Valentine’s Day gift. There are many places – in store or online - where you can order personalised items.

3. Valentine’s Day Gift Hampers
An assortment of treasured items can create an effective Valentine’s Day gift hamper for that special someone. To get started, you can pick up a relatively well-priced container from a local thrift shop, then you just need to add a selection of favourite drinks, snacks, clothing, lingerie, toiletries, stationery, magazines or preferred hobby items.
If you don’t have the time to construct your own Hamper you can always buy a Spa gift set for him or her. These Spa Gift hampers are the perfect gift for that someone special.

4. Valentine’s Day Gift Vouchers
One of the most convenient yet treasured Valentine’s gift items is a voucher. Does your partner have a favourite coffee shop, clothing shop or preferred beauty spa? Rather than opting for a generic store, a personalised gift voucher from a favourite location will show your partner s/he is truly appreciated. Buy spa vouchers from Evolve Spa Group online for any manner of indulgent spa treatments!
5. Couple’s Massage or Spa Treatment
A Valentine’s Day gift you both can enjoy is a relaxing spa treatment. There are many luxurious spas that offer treatments for couples, one of which is the popular couple’s massage. If you are on the East Rand of Johannesburg this Valentine’s Day, then Evolve Spa Group’s Valentine’s spa package is a must-try! This includes Eucalyptus Infused Hammam Ritual with a Full Body Aromatic Massage plus a Cooling Foot Soak Treatment. All for R1 500 for two people.
6. Valentine’s Day Picnic Dinner
Restaurants are often fully booked or unnecessarily expensive on Valentine’s Day which is why a more feasible and romantic option is a candle-lit picnic or dinner at home. With great February weather, locations such as Zoo Lake, the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens, and Homestead Dam in Benoni are great places to re-kindle the romance with your partner this Valentine’s Day.
7. Plants Instead of Roses
While roses are beautiful and have come to symbolise this day, the prices do shoot up and the flowers won’t last. Instead of breaking the budget on a bunch of roses, pick a long-lasting indoor plant that will add a vibrant, freshness to the indoor area.
For Valentine’s Day 2024, don’t be scared to try something a bit new and different. Your creative gift doesn’t have to cost a fortune, as the thoughtfulness counts so much more than the actual price tag.
