Have no fear though, you can still get a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift for your loved one without breaking the bank. Here are some excellent choices:

Personalized Ring

Rings are always a nice gift for Valentine’s Day. You can finally make the jump into a more serious relationship with a promise ring. Or make it official with an engagement ring. Don’t want to make any commitments, but still want to give a ring? There are some other options. There are fun rings like mood rings or rings with themes. 

For example, if your valentine works in the medical field or hopes to, then consider a ring which has a heartbeat sign around it. For those of Irish heritage, consider a classic claddagh ring. There are also fun options like rainbow rings, skull rings and many more. There are also religious themed rings which have crosses or fish. 

No matter the type of ring you choose, you can have it personalized for no extra money if you use an online personalized gifts store. You might think that rings are too expensive to give as Valentine’s Day gifts if you have a smaller budget, but you’d be very wrong. Many personalized rings are available for under $20. All you need to do is choose a metal that is a bit more affordable, like stainless steel, cobalt or tungsten. However, even sterling silver rings can be had for a reasonable price. When it comes to rings, it’s really gold and platinum that tend to be most expensive, just stay away from those and you’ll stay under your budget easily. When it comes to giving a ring for Valentine’s Day, do make sure you choose wisely so as not to give the wrong impression as to your relationship status. For example, you don’t want to give a ring that is actually meant as just a gift, but have it construed as a promise ring or engagement ring. If you’re in doubt as to how the ring will be received, consider one of the below gifts instead, they may be safer choices.

Personalized Necklace

A necklace is always an ideal gift for Valentine’s Day, especially for women. Though, they can still be given to men, just make sure to choose a style that has a more masculine feel.

Personalized Jewelry Box

Jewelry boxes are an impressive gift, especially for Valentine’s Day. Every woman can use a new jewelry box to keep her jewelry in. There are different shaped boxes available, including rectangle, square, circle and oval. However, the most popular style to give for Valentine’s Day would of course be the classic heart shaped jewelry box.

The velvet lined interior makes it safe for your jewelry with a soft surface. One great thing about giving a heart shaped jewelry box for Valentine’s Day is that you can have either the outside or the inside engraved. Have the outside engraved with her name or initials. Then when it opens up, you can have a special (and private) message from you engraved.
