5 Things to Get Your Ex on Valentine’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Framingham chapter.

If you’re still friends with your ex and want to get them something for Valentine’s Day without the present being weird, here are some friendly gifts to give!

 

1. Their Favorite Candy

Everyone loves to get candy! This is a simple gift that is on a friend-level without it being too sentimental. You could even find a fun mug to put the candy in!

2. Gift Card to a Nearby Coffee Shop

You could include this in with the candy in the mug if you want. Some easy options are Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks or a local coffee shop around school. If you know that they don’t like coffee you could try a cheap food place, so the gift won’t be too expensive.

3. Books About Something They’re Passionate About

There are so many books about so many subjects that you are bound to find something that your ex would like! A book about something they love is thoughtful without crossing a weird line.

4. A Cool Band T-Shirt

Band t-shirts are sold everywhere, so it will be really easy to find one that they will like! Obviously, you know their music tastes from dating them, so you can pick out something that they’ll actually wear.

5. Room Accessories

Some people hate decorating their own room, so it’s nice if you can get little things that coordinate with their style that they can put around their room! It’s really easy to head to a thrift store and pick up some desk accessories that are stylish, but also useful.
