23 best personalized Valentine's Day gift ideas for incredibly picky men & women

As a shopping editor, I see a lot of stuff; therefore, I can tell you from a professional (and personal) standpoint — there is nothing better than a personalized gift.

Speaking for myself, I am very picky (a consequence of the job!), so if something has been customized with my name, initials, birthstone, etc., it automatically falls within the "this is incredible" category. From the viewpoint of my friends and family, the sentiment remains.

Whether a monogrammed accessory, an engraved phone case, or (my personal favourite) personalized stationery, a custom Valentine's Day gift is an extra thoughtful way to show how much you care.

To celebrate your nearest and dearest, and let's be honest — your pickiest loved ones this Valentine's Day, scroll down to shop 23 personalized gift ideas for men and women in 2023.
