Valentine's Day wishlist
Collect a few wishes, send the link, and your partner reserves one — you know something’s coming, just not what. Ideas by budget for every couple.

- Sign in with Google or Apple
In short. Create a “Valentine's Day” list in GIFTbase with 5–7 wishes at different prices and send the link to your partner about two weeks before February 14. They open it in a browser and reserve a gift, and by default you can't see which. If you've just started dating, keep the list short and inexpensive: two or three small treats and one date idea.
No app needed
Your wishlist, right here in your browser
Make your list on this website: sign in with Google or Apple and start adding wishes. It's the same account as the GIFTbase app, so you can pick up on your phone anytime.
- Paste a link from Amazon, Target or any store, and the photo and price fill in on their own
- Send friends one link, and the list opens without signing up
- Friends reserve gifts, and you won't know who picked what
Why a wishlist works for Valentine's
A surprise that lands
Your partner picks from things you actually love, and enjoys giving it.
Zero spoilers
Reservations are hidden from the list owner by default. You find out on the 14th.
The budget is clear
Prices on the list answer “how much should I spend?”, which matters most early on.
A reminder in time
Valentine's Day is in the GIFTbase calendar, and the reminder comes while shipping still makes it.
Where to find Valentine's gifts for the list
Valentine's lists lean toward fragrance, jewelry, cozy clothes and dates for two. A store link becomes a card with the photo and price.
Etsy
Amazon
Uniqlo
Apple
Target
A dinner reservation, movie tickets or a couples massage go on the list as a link.
How to hint at a Valentine's gift in 3 steps
Three steps, and your Valentine knows exactly what would make you happy.
Pick 5–7 wishes
Different prices and types: a couple of things, one experience, a couple of small treats.
Send the link two weeks ahead
In a private message, with one line: “In case you're thinking about a gift, here are some hints.”
Don't peek
Reservations are hidden from you by default. Your partner chooses in peace, and you find out on the 14th.
If you've just started dating
Early on, a wishlist is easy to overdo. A few rules keep it a sweet hint.
Keep it short
Three to five items under $50. Expensive wishes early on make both of you uncomfortable.
Add date ideas
A movie, ice skating, a class for two: a gift that turns into a date.
Suggest a swap
Offer to trade lists so neither of you feels obliged.
Leave room for fun
Avocado socks or a cat puzzle break the ice and almost always land.
Valentine's Day wishlist ideas by budget
Three budgets to build your list from.
Under $25
A candle in your favorite scent, a book, handmade chocolate, matching socks, a card from an illustrator.
Under $50
Pajamas, a two-player board game, a diffuser, engraved mugs, tickets for the movie you want to see.
Under $100
A fragrance, a silver bracelet, a couples massage, a pottery class for two.
A dream for later
A weekend away, your favorite band's concert, a piece of jewelry. Leave it on the list: your partner might go big.
Gift finder
Your Valentine has no wishlist?
The finder suggests a gift from what you know about them
Describe the person in the GIFTbase finder: what they're into, what they love, what you want to spend. It suggests 10 ideas with prices and links.
Save the idea you like to your “to give” list so it doesn't get lost before the 14th.
More occasions for two
Valentine's Day wishlist questions
Make a wishlist of five to seven wishes and send the link two weeks ahead with one short line. A direct hint feels more honest than half-hints and works more reliably.
One or two options at each budget: small treats under $25, gifts under $50 and under $100, plus one experience for two. Ideas by budget are above.
Suggest trading lists. Keep yours short, under $50, and add an experience you can share.
No, unless you turn off Secret booking in the list settings. Reservations are hidden from the owner by default.
Yes, a collaborative list you both edit. For Valentine's Day, two separate lists work better: each of you plans a surprise for the other.
Yes, Valentine's Day is in the GIFTbase calendar, and a reminder arrives ahead of time.
