10 Unsweet Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Your Sweetie

In 2009, I posted 10 Sugar-Free Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas. Below are ten new ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts that do not contain sugar!

1. Tickets to See a Show

You know what your partner likes. Buy good seats and go.

2. A Week of Nightly Massages

This is especially nice if you administer the massages when your partner is tired and/or tense. A week of massage beats a store bought box of chocolates any day!

3. Create a New Love Ritual

Admit it, you’ve got some kind of “Friday night television” or “Saturday morning wake up” that you do with your lover. Make up a new ritual like “Sunday afternoon walk” or “Monday morning talk.”

4. Something Utilitarian

If you’re with someone who doesn’t like cutesy things that end up sitting around the house gathering dust, get them something they’ll use. A new tool, hobby supplies, or a discount card at the store they always go to can make your practical person feel appreciated. 

5. Go Local

What’s more romantic than community theater? How about a local comedy show? Church potluck? A lecture? There’s something out there that can become an adventure for the two of you.

6. Head to the Beach

If you’re close enough to the coast, go there!

7. Get a Book

Who doesn’t love a good book? Better yet if the book contains a secret note that contains a promise for gift #2.

8. Go to the Movies

Make some kind of snack that has no sugar and head off to the worst movie that’s showing. Doing so will guarantee that you and your partner bond over questioning the terrible plot you just witnessed.

9. Stay in and Watch a Movie

Make dinner with a sugar free dessert. Then stay in, watch a movie, and eat well.

10. Give of Yourself

Spending time with the one you love is a valuable gift. Don’t take it for granted! Block out a significant amount of time together to just do whatever. Making time for the one you love is love.
