Article Optimized 02-04-2025

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples—it’s a time to celebrate all kinds of love! Whether your friend is happily single, a hopeless romantic, or just rolling their eyes at all the heart-shaped everything, why not make their day special? This year, surprise your besties with a thoughtful Valentine’s gift that shows just how much they mean to you. From fun and quirky to sweet and sentimental, we’ve rounded up 8 amazing gifts that will make your single friends feel extra loved. 💖

Valentine’s Gifts for Singles

1. Dating apps: Boost their love life

Is your single friend feeling unlucky in love or experiencing a romantic dry spell longer than a desert summer? Help them swipe their way to potential romance with a Tinder Gold or Plus subscription gift card! With a whopping 6 million monthly downloads worldwide, Tinder remains the go-to app for making connections—whether they’re looking for true love or just a fun chat.

But hey, not everyone wants their dating life on display! If your friend prefers to mysteriously disappear when the topic of romance comes up, give them the freedom to choose their own adventure with a Google Play Gift Card or Apple Gift Card. Whether they opt for a different dating app, a self-care splurge, or just some guilty-pleasure mobile games instead, they’ll love the gesture!

2. V-Day Treats for Gamers

If your friend’s idea of a perfect Valentine’s date is a solo dungeon raid or a late-night battle royale, then a gaming gift card is the way to their heart! Whether they’re team PSN, Xbox, or Nintendo, a gift card lets them level up their gaming experience with new releases, DLCs, or that one skin they swore they wouldn’t buy. And if they’re more into PC gaming, a Steam Gift Card is basically a golden ticket to their dream game library (or another 100-hour RPG they definitely have time for).

No matchmaking required—just a couple of clicks, and your gaming buddy is set for an epic Valentine’s!

3. A Good Romance Book

Everyone needs a break from screen time—even if it’s just to read about fictional characters making worse life choices than we do. If your friend is deep in the BookTok rabbit hole or has a Colleen Hoover shrine on their bookshelf, why not surprise them with a hand-picked book for Valentine’s Day? In an age of endless scrolling, there’s something magical about flipping through actual pages (plus, paperbacks never run out of battery).

If your friend prefers something lighter, a fun comic book is a great pick—because who says romance has to be serious? Or, for the multitaskers who like their stories on the go, an Audible subscription or a Spotify Gift Card for audiobooks is the perfect way to keep their literary obsession alive while commuting, cooking, or pretending to work.

4. The Best Romcoms to Stream

Give your bestie the ultimate gift that keeps on giving—a Netflix Gift Card! Because nothing says self-love like hours of guilt-free binge-watching in pajamas. Whether your single friend is in the mood for a swoon-worthy romance, a so-bad-it’s-good reality show, or a true crime doc that makes them question everyone, Netflix has them covered.

With endless options in every genre (and enough choices to keep them scrolling longer than actually watching), they can grab their coziest blanket, load up on snacks, and dive into their next TV obsession—no awkward third-wheel moments required.

5. Love songs for singles

Music is the ultimate timeless gift—whether it’s vintage vinyl or a playlist of guilty-pleasure bops. 🎶💖 If your friend is aesthetic enough to own a record player, surprise them with a vinyl of their favorite artist (bonus points if it’s something ultra-niche they can brag about). But if they’re more of a streaming-all-day type, keep it simple with an Apple Music Gift Card or Spotify Premium subscription—because nobody deserves to have their heartbreak playlist interrupted by ads. Lets them curate their own Reverse Valentine’s Day playlist—whether it’s filled with love songs, breakup anthems, or just three hours of lo-fi beats to drown out all the PDA.

6. Personalised Valentine’s Card

Nothing says “I appreciate you” more than a personalised Valentine’s card. If your best friend is just as picky about their gifts as they are their potential partner, you can’t go wrong with a digital Valentine’s Day gift card from dundle. Choose from amazing online stores and entertainment services and celebrate your bestie. You can even create a printable and personalised Valentine’s gift card!

7. Chocolates Galore

If your friends have a sweet tooth, treat them to Valentine's Day chocolates. Why, you ask? Well, chocolate triggers the same pleasure and happiness in the brain that love does. So there you have it, the perfect substitute. Historically, from the Aztec civilization to Victorian England, chocolate has also been considered an aphrodisiac. Though there is no scientific evidence to prove that fact, surveys do show that both men and women prefer chocolates over flowers as a gift.

8. Talk to Your Single Friends on Valentine's Day!

At the end of the day, it’s not about the price tag—it’s about the thought and care behind the gift. A simple phone call can be worth more than any expensive item because it shows you really care. So this Valentine’s Day, skip the emojis and voice texts, and give your single friends the gift of your voice instead. Whether it’s checking in, cracking a joke, or just saying “I’m thinking of you,” nothing beats a good old-fashioned call.

So, go ahead—treat yourself, spoil your friends, and keep the Valentine’s Day blues at bay. Because love comes in all forms, and this year, it's all about celebrating the people who make your life better, one thoughtful gift (and one call) at a time.
