January 28, 2022 / Create

Finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone can be challenging to nail year after year. Just remember, you can’t go wrong with personalization—and presentation is key. This Valentine’s Day, let’s think outside the box with inside knowledge on what would mean the most to them!

Here are 9 ideas for extra-lovable framing gifts:

1. Couples’ Picture

Whether a spontaneous, unexpected photo or a perfectly posed portrait, nothing can bring people together like a visual of the two of you. Bring a smile with every view by framing your favorite photo together – try our Antique White with Gold Frame or Soft Gold Wood Frame! (You can upload, print, and frame it all in one place—just click “Upload My Picture” at the top-right of this page!)

2. Shadowbox of memorabilia

Some things just can’t be replaced. But shadowbox framing makes for a great way to preserve those special tokens while making a great gift! Whether dried flowers, a giftshop souvenir, or leaves or rocks from a special place, 3-D objects can transform nicely into art, making for an especially meaningful gift.

3. Typographical love messages

Wording makes for an impactful, straightforward way to convey messages straight from the heart. Whether artfully printed, photographed, or even embroidered or cross-stitched, beautiful wording makes for an uplifting reminder of how special they are to you.

4. A visual of their favorite thing(s).

Show you’re listening and care about what they care about with a painting or photo of their favorite styling, place, or hobby.

5. Representations of a shared memory.

From a movie poster of a first date to concert tickets, a framed memento of a stand-out moment in time is a great way to convey it won’t be soon forgotten.

6. Hand-curated.

Whether a thoughtfully hand-pieced collage, a personally taken photo, or even a simple drawing, “handmade” can almost never go wrong. The extra effort and time speaks for itself!

7. For parents: A restored photo.

Reinvigorating a time-worn photo can make for one of the most meaningful gifts for an aging couple. Having it framed makes for a touching gift they’ll surely appreciate.

8. Scrabble board combinations.

A few words can go a long way. Scrabble boards are a great way to highlight all the things you like and cherish most about your significant other. Whether your favorite personality trait, feature, quirk, or memory, this unique gift is both creative and impactful.

9. Gallery wall of your life together.

Tell your story with a decorative Gallery Wall of all your favorite photos! A fun and fond way to celebrate your story, designing a gallery collection can be an ever-changing project as you continue to add new memories.
