Unique Valentine’s Day gifts show your loved one that they are one of a kind. A great gift is one that is thoughtful.
It need not be expensive. Consider a day in the country, a foot message, or a meal at a favorite eatery.
Certainly, it is the thought that counts here.
Choosing gifts from artisans, small brick and mortar stores, and female entrepreneurs is a mindful and wonderful thing to do. It also helps ensure that the gift you give is unique .
Sharing some links to Unique Valentine’s Day gifts today is such fun!
Lets start with a super luxurious shop called Scully & Scully. Small merchants such as these, hand select exquisite gifts that are made to endure. See the choices below. Wallet friendly pieces were what I was going for, but be forewarned these items are a bit pricey.
Herend Miniature Pink Bunny for the porcelain collector out there.
Priced at $60.00.
Perfectly sweet gift choice!
Exclusive to Scully & Scully is this coral and seashell tray! When in doubt go for something that is rare!
Dogs on Parade Wastebasket. Can we just say OMG! I bet you know and love a dog lover! Furthermore, this is something we do use everyday!
Have you heard of 1stdibs.com? It is an under the radar resource for finding the rarest things on earth! Prices are steep, but I am sharing some gift suggestions that are affordable.
Writing and researching this post took me three days!
Miranda Gamel is an artist. This purchase comes with is own easel. Yes, it is tiny but also well done, gently priced at $75.00. Titled ADORNMENT.
Who would not love this Vitra tray in laminated wood?
This is Valentine’s Day gift perfection!
Priced at $75.00 and quite a nice size!
Carved pink shell earrings will steal anyone’s heart. Located in Australia, you will not see these anywhere else!
Now, I must reminder you to shop second hand when possible.
From Suzanne’s Etsy shop are these dramatic, date ready boots in Valentine’s Day red!
These beauties are flame appliquéd!
Also from Suzanne’s Etsy shop is this fabulous red embroidered skirt with purple pom poms!
Mixed media fashion pieces are always fashion forward and fun to wear!

Additionally, another great idea is anything birabiro.com ! Lydia is a local artisan with dramatic pieces that really pop!
You saw me wearing one of her necklaces recently. It is a favorite!
An older post of mine has some inspiring ideas as well. While, the items are not longer available, many of the shops are still there!
Support female entrepreneurs!
Queenbitter.com has an “eye candy” selection of jewelry. Deb’s jewelry is handmade in NYC!
Unique Valentine’s day gifts are alway appreciated.
If you want to do a “no purchase” holiday, think of your loved one’s favorite places and then take him or her there!
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day. Whichever you celebrate, savor the love of your the people who are dear to you!

I love how you bring unique presents and entrepreneurs to our attention Elle. I am planning a ravishing red dinner next week, something I know he loves and does not expect in the middle of the week! Love, Lieske
A ravishing red dinner sounds amazing!
You are so sweet !

Suzanne has some amazing items in her shop! I drool! I love your quirky taste and ideas for “outside the box” Valentine’s gifts! L and I don’t exchange V-day gifts anymore, preferring to just have a regular day, but my favourite thing is to do an event, like a play or a movie. The local movie theatre is doing a singalong “Moulin Rouge” which is a movie I LOVE…but L hates, so I will have to wait for it to come again and take some girlfriends!
Wishing you a very love-filled week ahead, Elle!
So you can do Galentines day and see the show with your friends! Yes — Suzanne’s shop!
Hubby and I exchange cards and stay home. I do dress up though !

These certainly are unique gifts, Elle. I’m especially enamoured by the coral and seashell tray, and I think Lydia’s jewellery is utterly fascinating. We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, telling each other that each day ought to be a kind of Valentine’s Day. But if we were to celebrate it, I think I would go for a day out or a weekend away! Making memories together is what it’s all about, I think. Wishing you wonderful celebrations! xxx
I agree Ann, time together is the very best!
Lydia is very talented !
