Framing Love: Creative Valentine's Day Gift Ideas
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start planning your gifts! There is nothing more romantic than a personalised gift! Anyone can buy a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates but how do you add a sentimental touch to your gift? This Valentine’s Day, show how much you love and care with the help of our creative gift ideas using picture frames.
Photo Collage
A collage of photos can narrate your relationship in pictures and is the perfect way to show your love this Valentine’s Day. You can create a collage of travel photos, relationship milestones, candid pictures and special occasions. Use a multi-picture frame designer to create the perfect photo collage. Simply select how many photos you want to display and let the frame designer do the rest of the work for you. Not only does this gift show thought and consideration but it also makes a great piece of wall art.
Meaningful Quotes
They say actions speak louder than words but not if the words describe exactly how you feel. Transform your favourite quotes, meaningful song lyrics or movie dialogue into a daily reminder of love. Framing meaningful quotes is not only a romantic gift but is also very affordable. All you need is a picture frame and a print of your quote. You could even write the quote if you didn’t want to pay for a print. Design a frame to your precise measurements and add a picture mount to help your words make a statement.
Can’t think of a quote? Here are a few examples that you could use:
- For me, every day with you is Valentine’s Day
- Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favourite
- I would never “swipe left” on you
- Roses are red, violets are blue, there is no better person than you
- Loving you is the best decision I’ve ever made
- I love you, not just because of who you are, but for who I have become when I am with you
Favourite Album
Many couples have ‘a song’. This can be the song that was playing when you first met, your wedding’s first dance song or a song that brings a smile to both of your faces. Gift a reminder of this song in the form of a framed CD or vinyl record album cover. You can even add your favourite lyrics inside the frame. Add a white picture mount to your frame to allow the album cover to draw all of your attention.
If you don’t have a favourite song here are some of the ultimate romantic songs you can use:
I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley
All of Me by John Legend
Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars
Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran
Still Into You by Paramore
A Thousand Years by Christina Perri
All You Need is Love by The Beatles
Significant Locations
Is there a special location that is meaningful to you and your partner? Create a reminder of this place by framing its coordinates. This could be of where you first met, your first date, your favourite restaurant or a country you have visited together. Every relationship is different so choose a location memorable to you and your loved one. You can add pictures that you have taken at this special spot into the frame to add an extra personalised touch to this gift.
Single Special Photo
If you want to keep it simple, pick your favourite picture of you and your partner and frame it to create a personal gift. Think about a milestone memory like your wedding or even a first date. This heartfelt gesture can be even more personalised with the type of frame you choose. Consider your partner’s favourite colour. Why not choose a coloured picture frame to show how much you know them? Are they a nature lover? Consider a wooden picture frame to add a rustic natural feel to your gift. The customisation options are endless!
Framing Mementos
Remind your loved one of a special memory by framing a memento! Box picture frames are perfect if you are looking to frame something other than a photo. You can frame concert tickets, cross stitch designs, lego mini figures to represent you and your partner, keepsakes from your favourite trip together or even a coaster from your first date. With extra depth, you can frame small 3D objects that have a special meaning to create a unique and thoughtful gift.
Poetry
Capture your heartfelt emotions with a special poem this Valentine’s Day. Find a poem that represents how you feel about your loved one and frame it to make the perfect gift. Anyone can go to the shops and buy a generic gift, here is your chance to make it personal. Not only does this DIY gift show how much thought has been given but it is also a wonderful personalised keepsake. You can make the gift even more special by handwriting the poem, adding sentimental value. To add an extra touch of personalisation, frame your poem in your partner’s favourite colour with a coloured picture frame.

Be My Valentine Forever
I love you for a lifetime,
Not only for a day.
I love you for who you are,
Not what you do or say.
I love the way you love me back,
So there is only one thing I can say.
I love you with my heart and soul and every other way,
So will you be my valentine not only for one day?
