10 Real-Life Couples Share Their Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, whether for her, for him, or for them, is not an easy feat. While some may actually enjoy spending a decent penny on their significant other, the societal pressure to buy a gift to commemorate your love for someone is something that can be left in 2025. If you find that you’re someone whose love for their partner is felt more in the little moments and who finds they prefer experiences to material items, then look no further than this Valentine’s Day gift guide created by real-life couples.

‍

From a night at a museum (remote-control vibrators in tow) to trying on sexy lingerie to going on a hike and having a quickie in the woods, these 10 couples are choosing experiences over physical gifts this year and giving all the deets on how you can too.

A Valentine’s Day Gift for Firsts

For couples who believe the best Valentine’s Day gift is based on quality time and attention, Yasmina Khan & Brady Bud’s first Valentine's Day together will give you some inspo. Instead of a traditional present, Brady plans a Valentine’s Day experience full of romantic surprises (Yasmina loves a foot massage).

‍

Whether it’s your first Valentine’s Day together or not, using this dedicated day to love as a way to provide your partner with some of their favorite things is an easy way to show how much you care. Think about some of the sensual acts your partner likes most and see if you can plan a night around them. If you’re like Yasmina and Brady and love physical touch, an erotic massage can be a great tool for foreplay to increase arousal or a way to share physical touch without having sex.
