The countdown is on to February 14th. Valentine's Day is a fun holiday for couples to celebrate, but can also present a challenge as far as gift-giving goes. Flowers, candy, and heartfelt cards are great but are also viewed as the default Valentine's Day gift. Also, they may not be the top choice for everyone. Looking for Valentine's gifts for him or her that are a little more unique?
Sure, you want to get your significant other, like, THE PERFECT present to tell them “I love you” but…what? Wasn’t it JUST Christmas? You exhausted all your gift-giving ideas back in December, and now you have to think of something even more meaningful? More sentimental? More romantic?

Valentine’s Day falls right in the middle of winter, so many of us are still bundled up, cozy at home in the evenings, trying to stay warm. A perfect way to "heat things up"—in a completely literal and innocent way—is with a gift package full of cuddly accessories. Pick a theme that fits their interest, like Avengers, Game of Thrones, or Disney, and go to town. There are tons of fuzzy blankets and mugs to choose from that would go together perfectly for a cuddly night in. Become a stuffed burrito when you two snuggle inside one of these warm valentine blankets. For a warm drink, choose from matching valentine mug sets or a pop-culture inspired mug from which they'll love to sip coffee, tea, hot cocoa...or you know, a little wine.

Valentine Wine Glasses
Mickey and Minnie Wine Glass Set | Minnie & Mickey Wine Glass | Harry Potter Mischief Managed Wine Tumbler | Targaryen Stemless Wine Glass |
Fancy candlelight dinners with a bottle of wine often come to mind for Valentine's Day. However, sometimes it's cozier to snuggle up at home with a little wine and a movie. (Plus, you get to skip the fancy dress code!) If a cozy night in with a little bubbly fits your lifestyle, we have a few stemless wine glasses perfect for pop culture lovers.
Valentine's Day Pajamas and Loungewear
Skip the silly V-Day lingerie and his and hers pajamas for something you might actually wear for more than a night. (Getting two sets of Star Wars PJs is still sort of his and hers, right?) So maybe pop culture pajamas from your favorite TV shows and movies aren't overtly "V-Day", but they're practical and personal gifts that your partner (that can't seem to stop watching The Office) will love!
