It’s a date for a gift

My husband and I are planning the fourth or fifth year of our favorite Valentine’s Day date: building Lego sets together. We’ve done this for years, and then we get to enjoy the fruits (flowers) of our labor at home forever. These sets work as both a gift and an activity. Making dried flower centerpieces together was probably my all-time favorite, because you can work on one half at a time and then click it together at the end, each then creating a different colored bonsai tree.

for a day’s adventure

Based on the idea of ​​date activities involving gifts, this multi-person paddleboard is a fun way to spend time outdoors while being together the entire time. It’s huge, almost raft-like, so that it can support the weight of up to three adults, but once we understood the size, it wasn’t difficult to maneuver. Sometimes we both rowed the boat together, sometimes I let my husband do all the work. It made for a beautiful day adventure together, and I can’t wait for the next warm day for my husband and I to take it out again to our local harbor. It’s big enough that we can bring our son, although it’s much more peaceful as a date activity. It is inflatable, and I would recommend getting an electric filler as otherwise it requires a lot of manual pumping.

for flowers on demand

Of course, the classic favorite for Valentine’s Day is flowers. Wired reviewer Boutayana Chokran tested several flower delivery services to find the best flowers sent to your home, and her favorite is Ode à la Rose, specifically Edith Arrangements. The business was created by two former French bankers, and the arrangement’s design choices feel uniquely chic in a way that only French romance can. The Edith bouquet is Columbus double tulips entirely from Holland, and comes hand-tied in a fun pink box in a travel vase. Flowers are shipped nationwide, and there is same-day shipping to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, Miami, and Washington, DC.

to upgrade jewelery

Maybe you’ve already exchanged rings, or maybe you’re looking for your first set without making a commitment to me. Either way, the most popular fitness tracker these days is a smart ring, and the Ora is the ruler of this field. The latest model is the Ring 4, and it comes in both metal and ceramic finishes. Many of my friends love their friends. I wish I had one, but they mean nothing to my husband and I as we are an aerialist and rock climber couple. Live your dream for me and bring it to your Valentine (and yourself)!

For your favorite photographer

If your romantic partner loves taking pictures, a digital photo frame is a perfect gift (and it’ll benefit you too, since you’re probably their number one fan of photography!). I’m our home photographer, and our Aura Frame is my husband’s favorite gadget because it displays the photos I’ve taken of our son and life over the years. Our wedding photos can also be found there, as well as some nice photos I take occasionally. It’s a monthly ritual for me to look through my camera roll and add my latest favorites. Aura is my favorite because the range of frames is beautiful, and the storage is unlimited with no fees or subscriptions.

for the casual couple

One of my favorite keepsakes in the house is the matching robe set that my husband and I bought on our honeymoon. Our all-cotton robes are from Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Spa in New Mexico (the final destination of the southwestern American road trip) and are great to take to the pool or use after a shower on a hot day. But I still love a nice fluffy robe in cold weather, especially because it can double as a towel. Buy one of these cozy robes for your partner so they have some great robes to use after their next bath or quick wash. Cozy Earth’s gown is ultra-soft thanks to its blend of cotton and bamboo viscose, while this flannel gown from L.L.Bean is one of our favorites for anyone working from home.

For your inner theater children

If your partner likes to sing with you Wicked soundtrack and regularly suggests karaoke as a group activity, so give them the gift of making karaoke anywhere with these gadgets. The Bonaoc Karaoke Microphone is one of our favorite karaoke microphones, letting you sing anywhere without carrying heavy equipment. The Icaro Shell S2 is a portable device with two mics, a built-in screen, and support for streaming services, allowing you to sing along to your favorite songs on Spotify.

for fitness couple

After the Christmas season, I saw a video on my For You page about how every mom had apparently received a matching workout outfit set for Christmas and was going out wearing it on Boxing Day. As a mother, all I could think about was how much I would Love Another matching workout set. I am serious. They’re great for workouts, quick errands, and day care or school drop off. My latest favorite set is from Bombshell Sportswear. This set is extremely soft and fits securely without any irritating pressure. It’s getting the most praise out of all my sets. I wish I was in shape with the Bolero, but as an aviator, my scrotal muscles are a little heavier than an ordinary person’s.

Do you have a partner who doesn’t need a matching set? Instead try some great running shoes, which are even more useful for both workouts and daily life. Wired reviewer Adrienne So says these RAD shoes are great for a variety of uses, as they’re designed for the gym, HIIT, CrossFit, and hybrid workouts and are soft enough for treadmill running. They look great too.

For dear bookworms

A Kindle is always a great gift for anyone who loves reading in any format. The funny thing is that my siblings and I are going to buy one for my dad for his birthday (two weeks before Valentine’s Day), and I recommended my favorite choice, the Kindle Paperwhite, because the standard Kindle is a little small for his 6-foot-4 frame, and he doesn’t read enough illustrated books to make the ColorSoft the right leap for him. If they already have a Kindle, I still love my matching PopSockets Kindle Case and Grip, and they’ve since launched a new bookish collection with beautiful designs.

For some bedroom spices

Are you looking to spice things up? These adventure boxes can add more fun to the bedroom without creating extra mental effort for you and your partner. An offshoot of The Adventure Challenge, “The Adventure Challenge…in Bed” scratch-off date book features 50 date ideas specifically designed to help facilitate fun and connection in the bedroom. Dates are categorized according to activity type into sections like dining, dancing, “sexploration” and more. Each date is covered with a black box, with icons indicating only the essential fields such as duration, cost, and more. Meanwhile, Fantasy Box is a date-night box service that offers a variety of themes, from sexy wine tasting to kinky poker night, designed to help couples communicate and connect more intimately. Before opening the box, each partner will fill out a questionnaire of potential intimate acts, and this box actually comes with everything needed for the kinky night: a satin blindfold, leather paddle, lingerie, lube, massage gel, feather wand, mini vibrator, and silky wrist harness. -Molly Higgins
