13 Last-Minute Gifts You Can Still Get Your Valentine

Take Netflix and chill to the next level. Set up a "movie theater" in your living room with chairs and lights. Grab the popcorn, candy, sodas, and all your boo's favorite movie snacks. Cue up previews and trivia to watch before the movie starts. Extra points if you give them a literal paper ticket.

Pro-tip: You can print photos out of your phone at most drug stores. Print a couple of your favorite photos together and create an album. If you have a favorite picture, print it out, and put it in a cute frame.

You know that fancy grocery store with the $12 cheese? Stop in there. (Or an Aldi. Whatever works for you!) Pick up some nice ingredients and make your date a special home-cooked meal. Write out a menu and set the table for some extra ambiance.

Think about songs your partner loves or tunes that make you think of them and make a mushy mixtape. Or, you know, a Spotify playlist.

Writing letters to your partner helps you verbalize your feelings and promote emotional intimacy. Not only that, but it can also give them something tangible to hold on to and to look at when you're apart. If you're not a prominent writer, don't overthink it! Try writing a few reasons why you love them or how happy they make you.

Give the gift that keeps on giving! Does your boo like tea? Coffee? Face products? Whatever they fancy, there's a subscription box for it. Here are some Black-owned subscription boxes to get you started. Because it comes in the mail, you don't need it the day of.

Pick up a couple of wine bottles (whatever fits your budget) and set up an at-home wine tasting. Play soothing music, put a picture of Napa valley on your TV, and make some fun snacks. For a personalized touch, create your own wine labels and print them.

Go to your favorite brick and mortar bookstore (like one of these Black-owned bookstores) and find a book your boo would love. If they're more into writing or drawing, giving them a notebook can be a super sweet gesture, too. Write a little love note in it for them to discover.

Hit up the local corner store and stock up on all your boo's favorite treats: Chips, candy, cookies, snacks for your snack. If you're feeling wild, put sticky notes with little messages on every packet.

Missing your favorite local haunt? Take your date on a "bar night" at home and make them a custom drink with their favorite liquor (or juice)! Create a custom cocktail that captures their essence, name the drink after an inside joke or memory, and then make a little card with the ingredients.

After countless days inside, plan a fun adventure day: Take a drive, go to a museum, visit a nature preserve or arboretum, and make a travel brochure for your date.

Hanging a framed poster? Rescuing the toilet paper dispenser? Getting an oil change? Everyone has a chore or house task they've been putting off. Help them check it off their to-do list.

Get your partner a gift card to their favorite local coffee place. For coffee at home, buy them a mug from their favorite cafe or a bag of fancy beans they wouldn't normally buy for themself.
