Design Gifts for Valentine's Day

What do you give for Valentine's Day?

For lovebirds: Vitra Eames House Bird

What started in the UK with love poems and Valentine's cards has now become a worldwide custom: On Valentine's Day, we think of our loved ones and give them a small (or large) Valentine's Day gift as a sign of our love. Valentine's Day, which originally dates back to the feast of St Valentine, is celebrated every year on 14 February, and every year we ask ourselves: What is actually a suitable gift for Valentine's Day? What should I give my girlfriend for Valentine's Day? What Valentine's Day gift idea would make my husband happy? The traditional gifts are flowers and chocolates. However, if you are looking for a special gift with a personal touch that will last longer and leave a lasting impression, you are well advised to choose one of our designer gifts - put together exclusively by smow for Valentine's Day.

The perfect gift for your Valentine

Purist design object from Muuto: the decorative Pair candle holder

We promise that there is an original and suitable Valentine's Day gift for every taste among our Valentine's Day gift tips, which also has a chance of arriving in time for last-minute shoppers. It doesn't matter whether you are looking for a small gift, a decorative home accessory or a pragmatic Valentine's Day present. Instead of asking the classic gender clichés "What does a woman want for Valentine's Day?" or "What can you give a man for Valentine's Day?", it is important to respond to the personal preferences of your loved one with a loving gift.

Beautiful design accessories for Valentine's Day: you can still surprise him/her with them

The classic gift is a bouquet of flowers. But why not give the matching vase as well? With a designer vase, the flower gift becomes even more exclusive and will be remembered for a long time. Designer vases from manufacturers such as Vitra, Muuto or Fritz Hansen vary greatly between filigree, playful, minimalist and geometrically strict and cover a wide range of materials and styles with aluminium, as in the case of the Vitra Nuage vase, or classic porcelain. Whether for men, women or non-binary people, there is a suitable model for every taste

The Objects Ikebana vase from Fritz Hansen is also a great way to showcase home-picked flowers

For all aesthetically inclined people, home accessories such as a beautiful woollen blanket under which you can make yourself comfortable together or a cosy cushion are also an option. Decorative design gifts such as the Vitra Wooden Dolls or the Wooden figures from Kay Bojesen are particularly popular with Valentine's treasures with a weakness for all things beautiful.

Functional Valentine's Day gifts for pragmatists with style: watch or battery-powered light

For all Valentine's Day treasures who are more practical or love technology, we recommend a decorative designer watch or a practical rechargeable lamp. The table clocks and wall clocks by the mid-century designer George Nelson are among the design classics from Vitra today, embellishing any interior and reliably displaying the time. Battery-powered lamps from Muuto, Louis Poulsen or &Tradition are particularly practical and create a romantic ambience both indoors and outdoors.

A particularly romantic Valentine's Day gift idea: with a heart motif for couples' evenings

If you are looking for a particularly romantic gift as a personal declaration of love, the Vitra Coffee Mugs or the Graphic Print Pillows, for example, which are decorated with the famous Alexander Girard Love Heart, a heart-shaped motif, are always the right choice and get to the heart of the matter.
