We’re just days away from Valentine’s Day. It’s officially crunch time.
And this year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Monday, which means you’ll likely need your gifts a day or two early if you plan to celebrate ahead of February 14th.
If you haven’t found the perfect Valentine’s gift for your sweetheart yet, don’t panic — you still have time to grab a unique and thoughtful gift that will look like you’ve spent weeks planning it.

This might sound like a tall order, but when you have the ability to customize your gifts you can easily accomplish all of it with just a few clicks and a spare moment of time.
Start thinking about what your partner loves to do, the inside jokes you share, and the special moments in your past. Then create a Valentine’s Day experience that is sure to wow! Here are 14 of our best last minute ideas for 2022.
1. A Cute Mug Set For Two
If you’re buying for a true coffee or tea lover, consider a personalized mug or a set of matching mugs for the two of you. It’s one of the simpler gifts on our list, but it’s also very popular because so many people appreciate a good mug. This cute set of mugs features heart-shaped handles and the quote “We go together like coffee and donuts,” but there are other fun quotes to choose from.
You can make yours a part of a larger gift, fill it up with their favorite sweets, pair it with their favorite tea or coffee, or a gift card to their favorite coffee shop. You can also complete this Valentine’s Day gift by scheduling some coffee or tea time (and donuts!) for just the two of you.
