Valentine's Day is all about celebrating the ones you love for exactly who they are, but it can be hard to find a gift that's equally original and adorable in a sea of flowers and chocolate. While sticking to the reliable can work for some (clichés are cliché for a reason, after all), there are plenty of creative ways to appreciate your loved ones.

Gift baskets are an efficient, yet cute as ever way to show your giftee that you care. From pre-made baskets that highlight a hobby to custom-made gift boxes that really get them, we're all about recognizing every kind of love this February.
