Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Partners That Don’t Add Clutter

I absolutely love giving gifts, even for the small holidays like Valentine’s Day. But the problem with that is the way that non-necessary gifts have a tendency to add clutter to your house. So I’m always trying to brainstorm gift ideas that don’t add clutter to the house. Consumables like flowers and chocolate are always great options, but here are some more Valentine’s Day gift ideas for partners to consider if you’re trying to look beyond the classics.

Non-Clutter Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Partners

Upgrades/Replacements

One way to think of a good gift for someone who doesn’t need anything is to think about something they already have that could be upgraded. Maybe they wouldn’t typically buy it for themselves, but it would feel like a luxurious gift? Or maybe what they already have is just getting old and worn out, so it’s ready to be replaced? These are some practical upgrades that could be perfect for Valentine’s Day. (Just remember to declutter the old item!)

• Pajamas – we’ve been loving Tommy John for him and Lake Pajamas for her
• Pillow
• Sheets – we recently hopped on the Boll & Branch wagon and have zero regrets!
• Socks – Bombas are great quality
• Underwear
• Beauty products
• Personalized dopp kit or suitcase
• Jewelry – something pretty or functional, like an Apple Watch or Oura ring
• Charging station
• Kindle
• Ember mug
• Nice wine – or a subscription membership like Winc would be fun!

Experiences

Instead of a gift, consider acts of service or quality time. There are many ways to do this without spending any money—sometimes even just a phone-free date night at home can be something special. But if you want to invest a bit into an experience, here are some fun ideas:

• Couples’ massage
• Professional photos
• Restaurant gift card
• Cooking class
• Wine tasting
• Beer brewing
• Concert
• Theater show
• Escape room
• Masterclass
