21 Gender Neutral Valentine’s Gifts for Bae to Buy + DIY

I’m 1 work week away from donning head to toe blush and wearing my one matching set. It’s the final countdown to the loveliest, doviest, most tear jerker holiday!

And you, my friends, are here for the good stuff. 21 gender neutral gifts for that special someone right? A lot of these DIY ideas I’ve actually gifted Michael and they’ve gotten the boyfriend/fiance stamp of approval. So let’s get shopping or crafting!

Cards
The card sets the stage for any gift. Make it bold with an illustrated, letterpress card from Sparkvites, simple and modern with a ‘love’ word search or pass on a bear hug with this Valentine’s Bear.

If you’re aiming for tears, make it personal with a DIY ‘I love You Because‘ jar.

Treats
Start date night dinner with a heart shaped pizza or this Penne A La Vodka. (Excuse the pasta’s name, but hey, it can’t hurt right?)

Bring it all to the sweetest of ends with funnel cake or feeding each other dark, decadent truffles.

Small Surprises
A living plant (plus pun) beats flowers at the office every day.

Forget 99 red balloons. Spell it out with L-O-V-E.

Do you remember burning cd’s and carefully crafting playlists? Try a modern take with a personalized USB. Ya, they can get music from anywhere now, but the USB will be cute and show you thought about them.

End the night with a scented massage bar.

Pretty Things
Say it loud, say it proud with DIY message shirts. Make a matching pair for Korean idol levels of cute.

Put together a photo book of your 1st year of dating, the year in review, or places you’ve traveled. Next level tip: Throw in one ‘goal’ picture at the end as a surprise gift. (If you made a travel book, add a picture of a place you want to go together.)

Tell your favorite coffee buddy ‘I heart you like XO‘ with these (mugs).

Date Ideas
Stay away from the bars and host a chocolate & wine tasting or beer tasting for two. The cheaper and cozier way to sample spirits.

The Dating Divas have a date night and printables for every occasion. The Valentine’s Day ones are extra sweet.

My Drifting Desk had 90+ free date night ideas already to print for a date night jar.

Or if date night is always a toss up, let this DIY fortune teller decide.

And last but not least, a puppy!!! I’m 100% kidding here (also puppy crushing very hard on this guy), but if you do have a puppy for your Valentine’s why not try your hand at this no-sew toy for them?
