The traditional Vanetine’s Day gifts are jewelry, candy, etc. With a little ingenuity, you can give a gift that displays your thoughtfulness and matches your style. Here are a few ideas for thoughtful gifts for Valentine’s to surprise your friends and family this Valentine’s Day by breaking away from the teddy bear and chocolate combination.

Although technology is now the way people communicate, the pen and paper approach is always a winner. Choose a stationery kit complete with glittered cards and envelopes, decorative labels and rubber stamps with a handwritten note. Select stationery gifts for Valentines like handmade letterpress boxed card sets with motifs that depict the personal preferences of the recipient or pick a Valentine’s Day pattern.

For the eco-conscious, you can select gifts for Valentines made of recycled materials. You can find almost anything offered in a wide range of handcrafted items -- including jewelry, personal accessories, home décor, recycled stationery and office accessories. You can also opt for custom-designed gifts for Valentines like ripstop nylon reusable shopping bags that can be printed with a custom message. Hand-turned pens made of sustainably harvested wood, and bracelets made with Fair Trade choclo beads to include an initial-engraved bead are also some thoughtful gifts.

Personalized novels are fun and unique gifts for Valentines for book lovers. Give your loved ones a chance to bask in the spotlight by giving them the chance to star in their own novel or even play a beloved character in a classic tale. To personalize these gifts for Valentines, all you need to do is substitute the names of the leading characters with your chosen names, using the enclosed cast list available with these books, and write your own dedication.

Quilted and monogrammed laptop sleeves make for great gifts for Valentines for tech and gadget lovers. Choose the color, monogram and design keeping in mind the recipient’s needs and preferences. You can also find a variety of coordinating laptop (or other tech) accessories like skins, stickers, cases and engravings. Wheeled laptop cases are perfect gifts for Valentines for college graduates on the go.
Warm, cozy hoodie jackets are fantastic gifts for Valentines for guys who adore adventure sports like mountain biking or trekking. Choose hoodies in lightweight, heathered sweater fleece fabric as it is soft against the skin. A monogrammed jacket is a wonderful way to say you care.
Select these gifts for your loved ones this valentines day.
