WHAT SHE REALLY WANTS AS A VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT
There’s no shame in buying a bouquet of red roses for Valentine’s Day—they are beautiful, after all—but it’s not the most original gift idea, and they don’t exactly last a long time. If you want your lady love to feel appreciated this Valentine’s Day, get her a unique and sentimental gift that she can hold onto for years to come! Need some inspiration? Here are our best Valentine’s Day Gifts for 2022.
Get Inspired With Our Creative Valentine’s Day Gift List
Growing and caring for plants is an act of love in itself. A garden-themed Valentine’s Day gift makes perfect sense! If you don’t have much green space or a place to set up garden containers, you can’t go wrong with a pretty indoor houseplant. Your sweetheart will be delighted to receive any of these creative gift ideas this Valentine’s Day!
Hoya Kerrii
It’s easy to see why this succulent cutie makes an incredible Valentine’s Day gift. Each heart-shaped leaf is like a little green valentine! They start out small as a single heart peeking out from the soil, but as they grow, more of those glossy emerald hearts begin to sprout along their trailing stems. They look especially charming if you train the stems to grow and twist around a trellis. If it receives enough sunlight in summer, Hoya kerrii will treat you with a colorful display of star-shaped flowers clustered together like pom poms.
A Basket of Assorted Seeds
Start your garden from seed for a fantastic way to save money—and it provides more opportunities to discover new, exciting varieties of pretty flowers and edible plants. A pack of 100 seeds can cost the same as one starter plant—you do the math!
If your sweetheart is big into vegetable gardening, find some unique varieties of vegetables you’ve never tried before, like rainbow carrots, purple cauliflower, or fancy heirloom tomatoes. Wildflower mixes are another fun seed packet to throw into the mix—she’ll definitely get a kick out of scattering the seeds and seeing what surprises pop up!
Pretty Planters
It’s easy to accumulate an extensive collection of beautiful plants, but finding something to put them in can be a hassle! Fancy planters with artsy designs can sometimes be pricey, so why not pick out a few pretty ones as a Valentine’s Day gift? Alternatively, you can pick up some plain planters and decorate them yourself for a gift that’s extra special and sentimental!
String of Hearts for Your Valentine
Similar to Hoya kerrii, the String of Hearts has heart-shaped leaves that we adore! This gorgeous trailing houseplant can grow up to 12 feet long, with cascading vines covered in stunning teal green foliage with rosy purple undersides. Silver variegation brings lovely dimension and texture to the leaves, glittering beautifully in the sunlight. It’s perfect for hanging baskets, so consider tossing in a fancy macramé hanger into the Valentine gift bag!
Indoor Greenhouse Kits
Growing plants from seeds is such a rewarding experience, but some seedlings can take a while to develop, especially if you directly sow them once the temperatures have warmed up. The perfect solution? Get an indoor greenhouse kit with a built-in UV lamp to start some seeds indoors ahead of time while it’s still snowy outside! That way, once the frost has cleared and she’s ready to start gardening, the collection of starter plants are ready to go! It’s sure to be a gift she’ll be eager to use every winter when gardening tasks are on pause.
Garden Art
Beautify her outdoor space with some gorgeous garden art and accessories! Wind chimes, suncatchers, sculptures, obelisks, birdbaths—there are so many different things you can add to the garden to make it an even lovelier place to lounge around. If there’s a lot of free space out there, you could even get some garden seating like a pretty bench or patio furniture set to create a cozy reading nook.
