There’s nothing stopping you from standing on the sidewalk and screaming “I Love You!” at the top of your lungs—except maybe the neighbors, the police, and later a restraining order. To avoid all that craziness, buy your main squeeze a gift from this list. Every one of them says “I Love You” loud and clear.
Love You Most Mug
‘I love you more’ is a familiar refrain among couples, and one that can be repeated ad infinitum with nobody willing to concede. Have the last word with this very pretty pink marble-effect mug that reads ‘Love You Most. The End. I Win’ in gold lettering, along with a couple of hearts.
I Love You Hearts
This attractive wooden box holds a multitude of reasons why you love your other half, and they can take one out and read it when they need a reminder. Made from wood with an inscription on the inside, the box contains 15 wooden hearts, each with a different and beautiful reason why.
Keepsake Hands Casting Kit
They know you’ll hold their heart forever, but what about their hand? The Luna Bean Keepsake Hands Casting Kit is large enough to create a cast of two adults’ hands lovingly clasped together, as a touching keepsake to demonstrate how close the two of you are.
oundwave Art Block
I love you gifts don’t come much more romantic than this. The clear acrylic block will arrive customized with the actual soundwaves from a favorite song – maybe your first dance, or the song from the first time you met – and can include a message of up to 45 characters underneath.
To My Wife Blanket
This blanket will literally surround your wife with love, and is perfect for snuggling under on a cold winter’s night. Available in three sizes, this soft microfiber throw has a ‘wooden panel’ design, and is printed with the most beautiful and sentimental words of love to show her what she means to you.
Custom Latitude/Longitude Necklace
Whether it’s your first home, the place you met, where you got married, or another significant location, this necklace will arrive engraved with the latitude and longitude of your chosen address. Made from sterling silver, the long coordinates bar is accompanied by a bronze compass charm to symbolize life’s journey together.
Personalized LP Record
Your music loving mate will truly appreciate this romantic gift. Made using a genuine recycled vinyl record, this keepsake will include a custom label that will be printed with a list of five special songs, as well as names, occasion, or even a simple declaration of love.
Couple's Split Blanket & Sheet Set
Falling asleep in each other’s arms is one of the joys of being in love, but it can be fraught with problems. Ensure you both get your fair share of the covers by giving your partner this Split Blanket and Sheet Set, that’s split down the middle but still joined at the bottom.
Love Vase Set
If you really need to spell it out, do so with this sweet and whimsical vase. Spelling out the word ‘LOVE’, this quartet of mini vases can be huddled up together or spaced out over a larger area, and each one can hold a little spray of flowers or just a single stem.
Interactive Cloud Lamp
You’ve probably weathered a lot of storms together, and this stunning Interactive Cloud Lamp is the perfect way to symbolize that commitment. Utterly spell-bounding to watch (just like a real storm), this cloud lamp can light up to the beat of their music, or simply rotate through the atmospheric colors.
Eternity Gold-Dipped Rose
Simple as A, B, C. A gold dipped rose…Beautiful gold earrings…Classic heart shaped pendant. Say—no, proclaim your love for her with this Eternity Rose Trio. The set comes in a leather presentation case that she’ll display proudly on her vanity for years to come.
Diamond Eternity Ring
Whoever said “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” only had it half right. They’re a guy’s best friend, too, because when a guy goes all out and gets a girl a diamond ring like this one, he gets boyfriend/husband/partner points that last a looooong time.
The Best Date Jar
This absurdly easy DIY screams “I Love You” in all directions. It signifies a whole bunch of things all at once: you’re in love, you know you’re going to be together for the long haul (or as long as it takes to finish all the dates), and you care enough to take the time to make them something as thoughtful, for no other reason than “I Love You.”
I Love You Reminder Block
Men forget, women forget—we all forget to tell the people we love the most how much we really love them. It’s human. You can build in a fail-safe with these reminder blocks. That way, they’re remember that even when you forget, you still love them more than anything on earth.
Lavender Mint Sea Salt Soak
Guys, if you have a woman who loves nothing more than a long soak in a hot tub, then this DIY gift will say “I Love You” as well—or maybe even better—than anything on this list. You can get the five simple ingredients at any natural food store, and use recycled candles for the containers.
The Story Of Us
You’re writing the book of your love right this very moment. With every day you spend together and every little thing you do for one another, you add another page to your story. So why not put it all together and make the story of your life in book form. This touching DIY gives you a sweet example of a great “I Love You” gift.
I Love You Toaster Print
Better than a strong cup of coffee in the morning is a powerful, lung busting, side-splitting roll on the floor fit of laughter. Surprise the one you love bright and early by stamping “I Love You” on their breakfast toast. But do it before you give them their coffee, or you might get it all over you.
Vintage Love Birds Light Bulb
Love at first sight can be like a light bulb clicking on in your head. Now saying “I Love You” can happen every time they flick on the actual light switch. You can light up their life with love in any room of the house—or all the rooms in the house if you decide to go all in.
USB Typewriter
Keeping with the word-nerd theme, this gift is for the guy or gal who digs things classic and vintage. It’s an old school mechanical typewriter that syncs up to enter text right to a PC, Mac, iPad, or tablet. If your sweetheart dreams of writing the Classic American Novel, just like the Classic American Novelists did it, this gift wins.
Origami Fortune Teller Dates
All the secrets of the ancients will be revealed by this paper fortune teller. Great questions of the universe such as: What will we have for dinner? And where shall we take out dessert? On which night will we Netflix and Chill? This DIY knows all. Seek, and ye shall find.
Heart Shaped Tea Bags
Guys, here’s the deal: if you make her a sweet DIY gift, she’ll know you love her. Especially something like a heart tea bag in this tutorial. Make her a set of these and she can steep in the special love you have between you.
Scratch Off Coupon Book
Your honey can play the Powerball all they want in search of that huge jackpot, or you can give the gift of love coupons—which are much better in our book, because everyone comes out a winner without spending any money. This easy DIY says “I Love You” in as many ways you can come up with: be racy, be traditional, or a little bit of both.
Spiritual Armor Bangle
Not everyone can break the bank on an “I Love You” gift. We know that. But some guys want to get their gal a sweet piece of jewelry that means something. This bangle does it: the intricate, endless knot design symbolizes two spirits moving together on a constantly evolving spiritual journey.
Men's Valet & Watch Box
A classy man needs a classy valet for all his classy gadgets. This valet is the epitome of understated sophistication—it’s handmade to order, but looks like an antique. Crafted from West African Lacewood, it’s got two levels of velvet lined storage for watches, phones, cufflinks, and all his other manly-man dailies.
I Love You Heart Print
Whisper “I Love You” over and over enough times and that whisper becomes a scream. That’s what happens with this romantic, sentimental print. The love builds and builds until it jumps off the wall and your lover can’t deny it. Your love is huge, your love is true, and they’ll never doubt it.
DIY Shoe Rack
If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, then the way to a woman’s heart is through her shoes. This DIY will teach you how to make her a cool hexagonal shoe rack that will get all her shoes in order and free up space for the second most important thing in life: her clothes.
To The Moon and Back Wine Glasses
Moonlight, a romantic dinner, a walk in the park, the gentle clink of wine glasses, and a toast “to us.” Now that’s romantic. Make that finishing toast even more romantic with these lovers wine glasses, printed with the phrase that you both know is true—but it doesn’t hurt to come right out and say it.
Framed Scrabble Tile Message
For the word-nerd couple whose idea of an exciting night out is actually a night in playing Scrabble, this is an incredibly thoughtful way to say “I Love You.” It doesn’t come right out and say it, but the message can’t be mistaken: you want those sweet kisses morning, noon, and night.
Power Tool Storage System
This is a DIY that takes some serious making. Ladies, you might need to enlist the help of a neighbor, brother, cousin, or someone handy with tools. Make this power tool storage system for his workshop, and he’ll be speechless. The trick will be keeping him out of there long enough!
Genuine Navy Seal Watch
This is a man’s gift if there ever was one. This watch is totally badass—there’s no other way to say it. If your man is into tactical gear, he’ll love this gift. It’s matte black, made from carbon reinforced polycarbonate, and has a face that will glow for 25 years without a charge.
Hobbit Love Print
Hobbits are loyal, steadfast, consistent and strong. Like your love for that special person in your life. It’s an open question, though, as to what Hobbits love more: a second breakfast, or their friends. If you’re in Hobbit love, settle the question once and for all with this lover’s wall print.
Prada Boots
She’ll turn heads so fast everyone in the neighborhood is going to need a chiropractor after she walks by wearing these knee-high leather stilettos from Prada. Guys, your woman has wanted to buy a pair of these for years, but couldn’t justify the expense. Now she doesn’t have to. And you get to say, “Who loves ya, baby?”
Rough Diamond Earrings
She’s a diamond in the rough. She’d sooner be caught dead than be seen wearing a glitzy glam piece from a national mall chain or anything even remotely resembling “bling”. These earrings are the opposite of all that: conflict free, uncut diamonds in their natural state, set in oxidized sterling silver cages.
Prada Combat Boots
Can I kick it? The style and comfort of Prada isn’t just for women, no sir. He can get his punk rock on in style with these black leather combat kicks from the iconic Italian shoe and handbag designer. No one will question his swagger again, and he’ll never question your love—not after you get him these.
Burberry Tote Bag
Guys, we know how hard it is to understand why women loves shoes and bags so much, especially the high end ones like this Burberry Canter. As with many mysteries of existence, poetry helps: “Ours is not to question why. Ours is but to do and buy.” We got that right, didn’t we?
Beer Can Cake
For a swill drinking kind of guy, this DIY gift is perfect. Ladies, you’ll know if this is right way to say “I Love You” to your fella. If it is, then four step tutorial will have you winning “best girlfriend” honors without a doubt. Pick up a couple cases of his favorite brew, and with a little effort, you’ll take the cake!
The World's Largest Scrabble Game
“I’m big into Scrabble” changes to “I’m into big Scrabble” with this last call for word-nerds. We found the biggest, nerdiest way to scream “I Love You” on earth. It’s over fifty square feet of Scrabble goodness. This is a great excuse to go ahead and buy a bigger house.
Relaxing Spa Packages
A spa day, a real spa day—we’re not talking about a morning at the YMCA and an after lunch mani-pedi—is a life-changer for any man or woman. From a working mom to a stay-at-home-dad to an insomniac graduate student, give them a full day at a professional spa, and we guarantee they’ll feel the love.
Skateboard Stool
Gnarls, shred, nollie, kick flip, McTwist—does the love of your life say these things in their sleep? Then they’re a skate junkie, no matter how old they are. Support their skating love—literally, you can put it under them—with this stool made entirely from classic decks.
iPro Lens System
Total click-bait! We mean that in the best way possible. If your honey is a shutterbug, then you can turn their iPhone into a professional grade camera with this add-on lens system. They can go wide, telephoto, or macro with these three lenses. Look out Social Media—a juggernaut is coming.
4-in-1 Chick Flicks
You sat through The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, Nights in Rodanthe, and a Walk to Remember. You got points for that. Now comes your ultimate mission, should you choose to accept it: sit through a four in one chick-flick binge. If that doesn’t scream “I Love You”, then nothing will.
Silk Wool Trench Coat
That man needs a stylish winter coat to make an impression in the big city. This silk and wool trench from Burberry will impress his colleagues, and random limo drivers will open doors for him when he passes by, because he’ll look like the millionaire who owns the block.
iPhone 6s
People try to pretend like they don’t want the best phone out there. They say they’re satisfied with their flip-phone, or their Android (what is that, anyway, is that like R2D2?), but they’re all jealous when the iPhones come out. Say “I Love You” by getting them the best. They want one even if they won’t admit it.
Head Covers
Fore! This DIY is going to take some sewing skill and knowledge up front, but if you have a golf lover in your life, the time you take will be the important “I Love You” message. The end product is totally classy—these head covers look like they come straight from a country club pro shop.
Garmin Nuvi
Program your address into the latest Garmin so all roads lead to your house. Seriously, though, you don’t want your significant other getting lost out there in the world. If this is for a guy, they’ll finally have a good reason to never ask for directions again.
Romantic Dinner Cruise
You’ve been talking about doing something romantic for ages. But life keeps getting in the way. Cut through it all and take the plunge. Get a romantic dinner cruise for the two of you. Rekindle that love and passion. Make a big gesture: book a gourmet dinner cruise you’ll never forget.

Get two of them, and you can have epic pillow fights that end in outrageous bouts of laughter.
All-Clad Copper Core Cookware Set
Foodie in the house? There will be now. With a set of cookware like this, it’ll be a race home every night to see who gets to cook dinner first. This set is stacked with fourteen pieces of gourmet cookware for everything from soup to nuts. Loser cleans up!
His & Hers Mugs
Little things can mean a lot. They say not to sweat the small stuff, but that doesn’t apply here—in love, sometimes it’s the small stuff that means everything. Like taking the time to make a pair of Sharpie mugs. The little things like this will speak volumes of “I Love You.”
Curved Smart HD TV
There’s a trick: knowing what they love and giving them a gift that show’s you’ve been paying attention. Got a man who loves his man cave? Make it the best one around with this next-gen smart TV. He’ll know you’ve been paying attention. He’ll know he’s got the right partner in his corner.
BFF Girl's Getaway
Guys, if you love your woman and really want her to know it, you have to trust her. Trust her enough to send her away on an island getaway with her besties. They’ll make trouble and they’ll have stories to tell, no mistake. But this one screams “I Love You” like no other.
Varvatos Leather Jacket
Every man needs a hip leather jacket. Not a played out bomber jacket. Not a big bulky one like a rockstar onstage—those can make him look like a clown. What he needs is a stylish, understated piece that bespeaks a lifestyle of cool. This jacket is the one.
European Bike Trip
The love of your life is a cycling fan. A fanatic. You’ve heard them say incomprehensible things like “Ronde van Vlaanderen” and cryptic things like “The Hell of the North.” That means is they’re into the Belgian Spring Classics. Make their cycling dreams come true with a trip to see the Tour Of Flanders.
MacBook Pro
The iPhone is one thing, but a MacBook Pro takes gift giving to the next level. This top of the line laptop from Apple is everything anyone ever wanted in a laptop. If your honey is still rocking a PC, it’s time to introduce them to the real world—it’s like going from a Camry to a Benz.
ISLE Airtech Inflatable Paddle Board
Where do yoga, surfing, and paddle-boarding all come together? Right here with this inflatable paddle board. Guys, if your girl is a beach bunny who loves to paddle out past the breakers and bust out a few yoga poses, you just found an ideal way to say “I Love You.”
Live Feed Video Drone
We’re thinking this ultimate tech gadget is for a guy, but we don’t want to rule anyone out. Whoever gets this gift is going to be a one person intelligence agency. It’s a fully maneuverable drone that sends video from up to half a mile away to a five inch screen on the remote.
Heart Necklace
Making her heart shaped tea bags is good. Making her a shoe rack/closet organizer is better. Making her a heart necklace with your own two hands? The best of them all. You can do it, fellas: materials you can buy at any craft store, five basic steps, and you have a piece of jewelry more meaningful than anything bought in a store.
