Every year, Valentine season is rife with flowers, chocolates, and restaurant dates -- all pretty things, but also so common to find. Your loved one deserves better than off-the-rack gifts. Valentine's Day presents should be meaningful and personal, something they can cherish and won't find at just any store.

To help you out, we've picked 10 one-of-a-kind Valentine's Day gift ideas for your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, fiance(e), or partner. These are affordable, too, so read on and get shopping!

 

1. A couple portrait

What could be more personal than a picture of you and your beloved? To make it gift-worthy, commission an artist to create a fun rendering of your favorite couple photo and frame it. It could be a watercolor version, a pop art version, or a Victorian-style vignette complete with ornate borders. Look around your local job boards or Facebook Marketplace for artists offering their services.

 

2. Wall art of couple dates

A star map has become popular in recent years as a way to mark a special occasion. It shows the position of stars in the sky on a specific date and location of your choosing.

There are star map businesses that offer to make one for you, or you can make it yourself using DIY tutorials on the internet.
