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

We have entered the time of love, relationships, single awareness day and chocolates! You’re reading this because, let’s face it, besides the obvious gifts of chocolates and roses, you want to be a little different this year. Don’t worry, these unique gift ideas are perfect for your significant other and are all under $30.00. These gifts work for both her and him! 

 

1. Bath bombs

Bath bombs from Lush can make for a heavenly bath time experience. There are tons of scents and colors to choose from, making it easy for your partner to enjoy a nice, relaxing bath with them! 

 

2. Alex and Ani Jewerly

These meaningful and cute charm jewelry make the perfect gift. The prices for different pieces varies, but you can score one of their classica charm bracelets for under $30.

 

3. Matte Lipsticks

Shopping for makeup can be quite hard, but if you stick to easier items like lipsticks, you can’t go wrong. Matte is all the rage right now and there are so many glamous shades. Be sure to pick your girlfriend’s or best friend’s favorite. ColourPop and NYX make very high quality lipsticks for a very low price.

 

4. Customized Gifts

Nothing beats personalized gifts with names, dates or quotes. You can practically customize anything, from clothes to electronics, to stationary. You name it! If your SO is a coffee lover, there is this wonderful Etsy shop that engraves spoons! Stirring a cup of coffee with one of these will definitely help start someone’s day with a smile.

 

5. Cheesy Couple T-Shirts

The options for couple t-shirts are endless and internet is full of shops to make your vision a reality. Try searching on Amazon or Etsy for cute and funny ones!

 

6. Tech Accessories

One can never have enough phone cases or laptop covers. The same goes for another pair of cute headphones or a charger. All of these items are essentials to our daily lives. If you search hard enough, you can find super chic ones!

 

Although everyone enjoys gifts, the most important part of this holiday is to spend time with your loved one and remind them of how much you care.
