Let's be honest-not all people love Valentine's Day. Nothing is less romantic for some than overpriced dinners and old-school traditions. Nevertheless, with a thoughtful token that isn't a heart-shaped box of chocolates or a dozen red roses, you can still dote on your special someone.

Surprise your sceptical Valentine with one of these great gifts and watch them swoon (or pretend not to) on Feb. 14.

Breakfast-in-bed tray


Your sweetheart will love an all-purpose bedside breakfast tray just as much as they will enjoy the meals that you serve on it. Start the morning right by offering a homemade meal and a heartfelt note to your Valentine.

Spa-quality bathrobe


Bring the "staycation" of your honey to the next level, and live large with an oversize spa bathrobe from the comforts of your house. When you opt for your Valentine's monogram or add a pair of slippers, Brownie points are awarded.

Special plant


Sure to outlast a bouquet of flowers, your loved one will be impressed with a vibrant plant to brighten up their home or office. Heartleaf philodendron, a string of hearts, and moth orchids are recommended by Gardenista as top V-day inspired choices with a dash of whimsy.

Artwork


Unlike a card, they definitely won't throw away a framed piece of custom art. A photograph or illustrated image of something you both cherish — maybe your kids, pets or house — hit a home run. Etsy has exclusive, handmade options that are sure to please any taste or style.

Weighted blanket


Weighted blankets can help with insomnia, anxiety and stress reduction, according to Harvard Health. But the best part, right? You can make sure all year long that your Valentine feels the "warm fuzzies," no matter how close or distant you are. And if you're playing your cards right, you just have to be invited to snuggle with them, too.
