26 Cute Romantic Valentine’s Day Gifts for Boyfriend
1. DIY Pop-Up Photo Box
Creating a DIY pop-up photo box is a great way to show off those memories and remember all the great moments you’ve shared so far.
For this gift, you need just a few supplies: a jewelry box, cardstock, ribbon and your photos. You may need to work some Photoshop wizardry to resize your photos, but it will be so worth the effort.
The DIY Village has a great tutorial on how to make this gift.
2. A Year of Dates in a Box
Here’s a gift that keeps on giving. Make up a plan for one fun date night a month and create a fun box full of those ideas.
Don’t just list them on paper. Add items that go with the date. For example, if you’re planning a game night, wrap up a snack, a score card and a prize for the winner.
The Babes Ruth has some awesome ideas for this gift if you need some inspiration.
3. 5 Senses Gift
This classic Valentine’s Day gift never goes out of style. The idea is to give him five gifts – one for each sense:
- Sight: Sunglasses, an LED lamp or movie tickets
- Smell: Cologne, his favorite coffee or incense sticks
- Sound: Concert tickets, earbuds or an audiobook
- Taste: Edible massage oil, chocolate, or a snack he loves
- Touch: A soft blanket, silk boxers or a massage
Wrap your gifts and present them in a romantic way.
4. A Jar of Love
Here’s a really sweet Valentine’s Day gifts for boyfriend. Get four different colored memo note pads (3” x 3”), create four different categories of things related to your relationship, and write down things that relate to each category.
For example:
- Blue would be “remember when,” and you’ll write down memories
- Pink would be “reasons why I love you,” and you’ll write down those reasons
- Yellow would be “quotes or lyrics” that remind you of him
- Teal would be “have to do this!” with fun date or bucket list ideas
Fold up each piece of paper and add them all to a mason jar with a label that tells him what each color paper means.
5. Date Night in a Jar
Instead of making a box of pre-planned dates, write down date ideas on popsicle sticks, mix them up and put them in a mason jar. Give the jar as a gift to him on Valentine’s Day. Whenever you have your date nights, you can pick an idea from the jar.
6. ‘Open When’ Gifts
If you’re far apart on Valentine’s Day, send him a box of “open when” gifts. You can make the “open when” moments whatever you want.
- Open when you’re feeling down
- Open when it’s Valentine’s Day
- Open when you’re in a silly mood
Get creative both with your moments and what you put inside each envelope. Involvery has some great ideas on what to put in your envelopes, but make sure your gifts are personal to your boyfriend.
7. A Watch
A watch like this one from Amazon is a cute Valentine’s Day gift idea, but you can make it even more special by adding a little message, like “It’s time to tell you I love you.” Be cute and cheesy with your message and present his present in a nice gift box.
8. Custom Song Plaque Night Light
Do you guys have a song? Gift him a custom plaque night light with a scannable Spotify code picture. You can even add your own photo to the plaque to make it really personalized.
He can listen to your song whenever he wants, and he can use his new plaque as a lamp.
9. A Custom Video Print
Places like Infinite Objects have created video prints, which are basically digital photo frames that play a video. Just upload your video, and they’ll print and frame the video and send it to your doorstep.
10. DIY Exploding Box
It’s easier than you think to make your own exploding box. Glitter Adventure has a great tutorial on how to make this gift. Along with your favorite photos, you’ll need some craft paper and a few other basic office supplies.
11. What I Love About You A-Z
We love sweet Valentine’s Day gifts for boyfriend like this one. It’s simple to make, but super thoughtful and romantic.
Go through the alphabet – from A to Z – and write down something you love about him for each letter. Use a hole puncher to punch a hole in the corner of each piece of paper and put them all onto a keychain ring.
12. Naughty Coupons
Adults will love these naughty coupons. You can make them out of pieces of paper, or you can buy the coupons online. You’ll then give him the coupons that he can “cash in” for whatever you write on the coupon.
13. Tacklebox of Goodies
Are you “hooked on him?” Buy a tacklebox but instead of filling it with hooks, put a bunch of candy in it. You can even find “fish-shaped” candies to add.
14. Remember When Box
A priceless gift that costs very little but your time to make. Create a “remember when” box using any old box that you have and fill it with small pieces of paper of the best memories of him that you have.
15. DIY Photo Lamp
A Valentine’s Day gifts for boyfriend that will come as a shock is to make a lamp with your photo in it. You can do this easily with a few items from Amazon: wooden jar, remote controlled LED lights and a heart picture frame with you in the middle.
16. Memory Box
Your story is just beginning, but why not put it together for him? You’ll need a wooden box and can add pictures you took together, favorite candies, movie tickets and anything else to make him think of your special memories together.
17. Sneakers with a Twist
Does he love shoes as much as you do? You can buy him a pair of sneakers or shoes, and then on the box, write something sweet like in the Pin above. The saying “So lucky you walked into my life” will be enough to make him melt the moment he sees it.
18. Balloon, Pop, Surprise!
You only need balloons and tiny gifts that you can place in them. Put small candies or other gifts that you can fit in them, blow them up and then ask him to pop them with a tack. It’s a fun, cute way to give a gift this Valentine’s Day.
19. Bag Filled With Favorites
It really doesn’t get much easier than this. You’ll need:
- Brown paper bag
- Pink paper
- Black marker
- Glue
You can then fill the bag with all of his favorite goodies, glue the pink paper to the bag and write on it with a marker.
20. I Wish I Could Turn Back Time
Just look at this Pin – it’s adorable. You can recreate it or simply buy one online. The real “gift” is the saying and thoughtful words written on the paper in the box: “I wish I could turn back the clock. I’d find you sooner and love you longer.”
21. Nike Gift Basket

22. Missing Me Handprint
If you’re going to be apart for a while, you can create a cute handprint for him to remember you by and smile. You can add cute text like in the Pin, telling him that you’re always there. Now, you’ll just need to add your handprint.
You can do this by covering the inside of your hand with a marker and then placing it on a piece of paper.
23. Kisses When I’m Missing
Teens will love this one because it’s an ultra-affordable gift that you can make in less than a minute. You’ll need to have a few items:
Simply fill the jar with the kisses, tie a ribbon on it and put a cute saying on the paper. It’s really that simple.

“I love you berry much,” is such a cute phrase. You can make these delectable treats with just a few items:

If you want to make these baseball-inspired treats, just pick white chocolate with red food coloring for the stripes. Simply melt the chocolate, dip the strawberries in and let them cool.
26. Ice Cream Sundae in a Box
An ice cream sundae in a box is the perfect gift for someone with a sweet tooth. You can add anything you want to your box, but we recommend:
But, you will need to give them the ice cream on ice because it will certainly melt otherwise.
