Did you know 58% of people feel pressured to find the “perfect” Valentine’s gift? Last year, I panicked and almost bought my girlfriend a generic teddy bear—again.
But after talking to friends and testing 20+ ideas (some epic wins, a few cringe fails), I cracked the code.
Here’s your no-fluff guide to 20 unique gifts that show thoughtfulness, not just a receipt!
