Don’t Scare Her Off! 15 Valentine’s Day Gifts For New Relationships in 2021
Nothing’s more exciting than a new relationship — and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you probably want to show your new bae some love without going over the top and risking coming off as clingy. Looking for the right Valentine’s Day gift for a new relationship can be tricky, so we’re here to help you out.
Given the fact we’ve been quarantining for quite some time at this point, your relationship has probably moved a little faster than it would have in previous years. This is a good thing; that means you can go a little more extra than the casual new relationship gift because you know each other decently enough at this point. Meaning, you won’t look super attached.
With that being said, it’s also still a safe bet to snag your new lover something a little more low-key. You don’t want to get something too sentimental, even if you are moving pretty fast. This isn’t an episode of The Bachelor. This is real life. Keep in mind that the price range should never, ever surpass $100 if you’ve been dating less than six months and it never past $50 if it’s been less than four. This isn’t an engagement, my man. You don’t want to get your new bae a wildly expensive piece of jewelry or a brand new video game console. That’s too much.

1. Warmies Microwavable French Lavender Scented Plush Elephant
You can’t go wrong gifting a stuffed animal on Valentine’s Day. They go hand-in-hand with the Hallmark holiday. One of our favorites for this year is this adorable lavender-scented elephant plush your lover can stick right in the microwave for a warming, lovely lavender-scented cuddle buddy.

2. Echo Dot
A few years ago, we would have told you that the Amazon Echo is too much of a gift to give on your first Valentine’s Day with a new bae. Well, times have changed and we’re letting you know that you can absolutely snag the all-new Echo Dot for your boo. This baby sits at just around $30, so it will not even remotely break the bank. As expected, it comes with Alexa so your babe can chat with her all day long if they need to about the weather and music. It even has a new and improved sound system worth geeking over.

3. Mug from Redbubble
Have you ever ordered something from Redbubble? No? Well, now’s the time. They have a slew of inexpensive, super personal gifts that will really bring a smile to your giftee’s face.

Right now, we love this Schitt’s Creek-themed mug that visualized the Rosebud Motel logo.

4. W&P Craft Cocktail Kit
Treat your new significant other to a couple of craft cocktails with this compact craft cocktail kit. If you’re still in the FaceTime faze of your relationship and you’re spending this V-Day socially distanced from one another, this is also a cute idea for a date night. Both of you can make the same drink and experience it together as you chat over the interwebs.

5. Homesick Scented Candles
So your new boo is from another state? Give them a taste of home with these comforting scented candles from their homeland.
