The day of love is getting closer and closer. Cupid is ready to shoot his arrows, and are you ready with the gift for your soul mate? No? It doesn’t have to be a Christmas-style gift rush eh, relax. There’s no need to get anxious. Something nice, simple and thought out always makes a good impression. We tried to scrape together some ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts. Although that is not what matters, but the important thing is the thought you say, right? First and foremost, above all, love. If there is not that, nothing has more value.

Let’s begin:
A custom-made cosmetic product
Some ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts might include a custom-made cosmetic. CITYLAB cosmetics was mentioned some time ago. It is a store where you can create your own lipstick, cream or serum according to your needs and preferences, following careful skin studies.
Experts are on site to follow you all around. Armocromy sessions can be done as well.
A gift that can suit both him and her, who so much you know, it is not only women who take care of their skin. Indeed
A couple’s massage
Why not give a gift certificate, a voucher for a massage together? To spend some relaxing moments. Qc Terme has some really interesting proposals.
Plus, if you want, after the massage you can stay at the facility and enjoy the hot water pools or wellness trails. Think about it!
A trip to the lake in a classic car
What better gift than to take and go on a tour of Lake Como or its charming villages accompanied on board a classic car? We Go is the service that offers you this wonderful opportunity to do it independently by driving yourself or with a driver who will arrange the ideal day for you. What better opportunity to experience something magical on the day of love with your better half? More info on the dedicated website.
A candlelight sound bath with Mindful glow
Mindful Glow is an experience of meditation and relaxation of the body and mind thanks to the sound vibrations of musical instruments, the glow of hundreds of candles and the aroma of essential oils.
Pendant or bracelet with GPS coordinates of your heart place
To be considered among Valentine’s Day gifts, no? Every couple has a place of the heart to remember. Of the first meeting, first kiss or first dinner together. A place that is important to you and that you cherish. Here, then why not engrave on a bracelet or pendant the coordinates of this place so you will always have them with you?
Coordinates that only you know the meaning of and that bind you to your love. There are plenty of sites to comb through. Here. Here. And also here.
Personalized travel bag
A gift that is good for both him and her classy traveler lovers. My Style Bags offers duffel bags that are really chic and stylish, absolutely customizable with your initials. From hand bags, to travel bags, to beauty bags. But also tennis racket holders, padel holders, backpacks, shirt holders, watch holders, pouches, clutches, pc cases and other products that you can find on the site. An all-Italian choice, and super Milanese. My Style Bags in fact was born right here. Refined design, attention to detail, selection of materials are the strong points in their collections.
A cooking class
Think how nice it would be to spend a few hours together in a professional kitchen learning new recipes to make later at home. Wouldn’t a coupon for a cooking class together be something really fun to test yourselves and see which of you is the better cook?
From Eataly, to Scuola di Cucina Italiana, to Teatro7. Of places in Milan there are so many and very good ones!
A paragliding trip together
Want to make an adrenaline-pumping present ? Among the gifts for Valentine’s Day, why not organize an exit and have a paragliding experience together? To fly high in the sky and celebrate your love while immersed in the clouds.
It can be scary, true. But in the meantime, you each have an instructor; you are not alone. Plus you are doing it in the company of your love. What more could you want?
Again, there are plenty of choices. Flybell could be one. Google and peruse!
Cufflinks and/or jewelry
If your he or she loves elegant gifts, cufflinks for him or a nice piece of jewelry for her are always appreciated. You have all kinds of stores in Milan where you can go to unearth something. Monica Castiglioni’s creations are very pretty or Demaldé is another store worth a stop. Tiziano Reversi is also very worthy. Or La Patty Gelosa.
A journey
Treat yourself to a trip , a field trip, a smart box whatever allows you to get away for a few days and strengthen your union by building new memories.
Traveling is always good for you, and it is a boon not only for your love but also for your soul. There is no better thing to include among your Valentine’s Day gifts.
In Lombardy alone, there are nearby destinations that are wonderful. Here you will find a list we have made that might be right for you.
Or take a Frecciarossa train and dine in Paris. Rent a car if you don’t have one and enjoy the sea in Cinque Terre, for example. Or visit a beautiful village. In short, go and enjoy yourself.
A book
It may go without saying, but a book can always be appreciated as well as useful and enriching. A good read is often better than many movies or evenings out. It allows you to travel while staying at home and experience unique moments.
A book is a wonderful companion.
A thriller, a romance novel, an essay or a fantasy. The choice is varied. Depending on your partner’s taste, choose wisely.
A nice, important gift can be a book by Taschen. Architecture, photography, design, fashion are just a few of the subjects covered in pictures in the valuable editions that the German house has been producing for more than 30 years.
A bouquet of flowers
Simple and perhaps a bit mundane, but flowers are always beautiful. And they always please, no matter what anyone says. Of places to go to find the perfect bouquet, there are plenty. Numero9 and Offfi in Isola, artistic and distinctive. La Primavera in the Moscova area, the various Au nom de la rose scattered around the city or Piccola Flora. However, you can find florists everywhere. Fear not.
A trip to Mars
Take a trip to Mars. Space Dreamers – Immersive Experience is the perfect Valentine’s Day adventure in Milan. This interactive exhibition will transport you on a cosmic journey through 18 immersive installations, creating a romantic and evocative atmosphere. You will explore the universe together, from the Moon to Mars, immersed in light shows and dreamlike scenery. New attractions such as “Fly me to the moon” and “Interstellar” promise to make your experience even more memorable. An hour of shared magic in the heart of Milan, ideal for creating unforgettable memories as a couple.
A night in a bubble
You read that right, yes. In Borgo Ticino in the province of Novara, an hour’s drive from Milan, 59 minutes to be exact, lies this magical place. The Bubble hotel.
What it is. It is a hotel whose rooms are huge bubbles to sleep in while admiring the starry sky and the surrounding nature. Magical and immersive, it is more of an experience than a gift and perhaps more valuable.
A hands-on workshop
Why not consider giving the gift of a day together to create something handmade? Which you can then give to each other. There is no more beautiful thought than something made with your own hands to give to someone. It acquires a much higher value than an item picked up on Amazon doesn’t it? Try to see what YamLab offers, Mani Lab if you like pottery, Cloud Shop to create your own candle. Also here you can also decorate, create your own rings, symbols of your love, starting from scratch, choosing the size, shape, soldering, until you get the final shape.
Erotic games
Well why not? What’s not to like? Reviving magic in the bedroom is not something obscene. In fact, it’s part of a couple’s love. Thinking of a tantalizing and lustful gift could spice up your evenings, which never hurts.
Allow a little time
Yes it sounds crazy, silly and a bit corny. But time is indeed a beautiful gift. Instead of filling ourselves with items that then only fill already full houses, already crowded basements and already occupied spaces. Give yourselves time together. Be together. Usually, especially in Milan, you are always in a hurry. Valentine’s Day then falls on a weekday. Give each other the opportunity to do even nothing, but at least let it be nothing together. Talk, plan, plan, argue, sing, dance, cuddle, enjoy time together. Wherever you are, in a bar, at home, at the bookstore, at the movies. When time runs out, it never comes back. A book is bought back, bouquet of flowers is recomposed, a trip is planned again, but time when gone is gone. Make good use of it.
A Candlelight concert
Why not treat yourself to a beautiful candlelight concert listening to the most beautiful songs, from Zimmer to Elton John and other iconic songs perfect for this day dedicated to love. There are plenty of concerts not only on Valentine’s Day that you can find here.
