Well, it’s that time of year again and I hope you’re not like most people out there, waiting to get their Valentine’s Day gifts for their college-age sweetie till the last minute! But, even if you are, no worries!
I have the perfect gift guide for you below. You never know what you might find as your Valentine’s Day gift for your college-age boyfriend or girlfriend.
What To Consider When Purchasing Valentine’s Day Gifts For College-Age Him or Her
Something to consider before you keep scrolling is the personality and love languages of your significant other. What makes a good gift is not just the monetary value or even the time you spent DIY-ing it.
The gift that has the greatest impact is the one that resonates with the receiver the most.
For me, receiving flowers is one of the best gifts I could get, but I know a lot of people that don’t feel nearly as loved when they receive them. If you wash the dishes that night, it could have a greater impact.
And that’s where the five love languages come in. If you’ve never heard of the love languages then I highly suggest picking up the book here.
It’s a wonderful way to show love in a way that your significant other will appreciate. For example, you could buy her flowers or him small trinkets every once in a while to show love, but if receiving gifts isn’t one of their top love languages it could mean absolutely nothing to them.
Instead, you will want to show them love by feeding their love language. So, if it is acts of service, then running to the store for them or doing the laundry could be the best way to show love.

I have some examples for each of the love languages down below so you can give the best Valentine’s Day gifts for college-age boyfriends and girlfriends.
But, besides their love language to consider, you will also want to consider their personality and overall interests. Here are some questions to ask yourself: What is their most favorite hobby? What do they do when they are alone? How many times have they said, “I would love to xxx”?
Once you know what things they absolutely love it will help you better form a Valentine’s Day gift that will speak to their needs.
Often Valentine’s Day gifts can be over-rated or hyped up because it is considered the one day to make a romantic impression, but keep in mind that showing love in a relationship should be an ongoing process.
Showing love one day out of the year will not be enough. Selfless, sacrificial love for someone else is something that takes time and should occur more than one day of the year. So, feel free to save this post for later and come back to it whenever it’s time to show some love again.
Now let’s get on to the Valentine’s Day gift for college-age men and women so that you can show love in amazing ways this Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day Gifts For College-Age Women
1. GIFT IDEA ONE – Flowers
Ok men, even if your woman’s main love language is giving and receiving gifts, I still think you should give her flowers on Valentine’s Day. If you are thinking about skipping it this year, just don’t.
Every woman in the back of her mind still wants to receive them, and that’s probably just because everyone else is. I mean, we all want the chance to feel cared for and appreciated even in this small way. I know I’m generalizing women, but don’t skimp on this one as a general rule of thumb.
And an amazing place to grab those flowers is Teleflora. They are able to deliver so fast and their quality is fantastic. We are buying everything online these days, so save yourself the hassle and shop quickly online here.
Flowers are an amazingly small and meaningful way to make Valentine’s Day calm and romantic. They are one of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for college-age men and women.
Teleflora is a leading retailer of flowers and gifts with same-day delivery available. they also use local florists, so you know you are supporting a great cause and getting a high-quality product.
2. GIFT IDEA TWO – Personalized Gift
Another option for women is to personalize the Valentine’s Day gift. Most women are very sentimental and want to remember the good and happy times. Personalize the day by adding your own message or inside joke to one of these gifts.
Personalized gifts are truly timeless and are a great way to show love in a more significant way because you can add your own unique touch. I recommend this site to get the job done, PersonalizationMall.com.
They have a whole line of romantic gifts that make browsing and adding your own personalized message to them super easy. I love that I can make the occasion so much more meaningful by purchasing on PersonalizationMall.com.
3. GIFT IDEA THREE – Grocery Delivery With Amazon Prime
Ok, so moving on, here is a gift that might seem a little less romantic but could be an amazing way to show love. If your girlfriend absolutely hates grocery shopping and the chore of it, then consider buying her a subscription to Amazon Prime.
Amazon has so many other amazing features but consider gifting it as a grocery delivery service. You could serve your significant other in a way that will impact them for months to come, not just on Valentine’s Day.
A lot of women hate this task in their life because it kills a lot of time and requires a significant amount of energy. Have the groceries delivered to her door and free her up for more time to spend with you.
Plus, if she’s a foodie or loves to cook, then this will help fill her need as well because it will allow her to enjoy her hobbies more fully. Amazon Prime truly is one of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for college-age women.

Of the many Valentine’s Day gifts for college-age couples, new stylish clothing is a timeless classic you should definitely consider.
5. GIFT IDEA FIVE – Essential Oils

With Young Living, all you need to get started is the starter kit and it comes with everything you need – a diffuser, 11 of the main essential oils, and samples of other products to try!

I have been recently introduced to it as well and have found it so helpful so far! This has been a favorite so far: https://www.creativelive.com/class/smart-pr-artists-entrepreneurs-and-small-business-ryan-holiday
I’m a woman, but I would totally want the CarnivoreClub box!! What a great idea!
Haha I hear ya, I love my meat!!
Lots of great ideas. I would definitely encourage creativity and personalization. There is nothing worse than getting the same old roses, chocolates, and stuffed animal.
Exactly Cindy, glad I could offer some alternatives(:
The 5 Love Languages book is such a good book! Your suggestions are great, especially if you know what your Valentine appreciates most, and choose your gift accordingly.
I love the book too! Thank you so much(:
Jewelry is always a good gift I think. I do really like the idea of the five love languages. But you really have to be in the right frame of mind to read it.
That’s a good point, David!
College love is so funny to me now. But hey they need love too I had it but yeah so many emotional and growing to do in that era as well.
Haha that’s true!
These are some great gift ideas! I never knew so many unique subscription services existed. My partner isn’t big on owning things, so I usually make him a card and then whip up a favourite treat of his, such as Anzac biscuits, or some jelly. I love doing it and he loves eating whatever I make so it’s a win-win 😋
Those are great ideas, Indya! Haha food is always a good idea!
I loved reading about the 5 Love Languages! It was such a game changer for my marriage! 🙂
Yes totally agree! That’s so good to hear!
