Last Minute V-day Ideas for your Music-Loving Partner

Happy Valentine’s day! If you haven’t gotten a present for your close pal yet, I’ve got your back- this time…..

I’m here with some ideas for low, mid and high budget people who are looking to organize a nice gift for their partner.

Here is the pricing guide:

I hope you know your crush or S/O’s favourite song by now. Put the lyrics to their favourite song, or some romantic one into a Word document, find a cool font, and print it out. If you don’t have a printer, take the car or bus to your local print shop or library and print it out. Head to the dollar store and grab a frame… boom. You’re basically Shakespeare.

Posty is hitting up the Scotiabank Arena on V-day! If you really wanna flex, grab some secondhand tickets for around $400 each, no big deal. In all seriousness if you wanted to do this, you’re best to wait for about one to two hours before the show and grab from a scalper trying to get them off their hands, you can probably get a decent deal. Try Stubhub!

Give your partner a $40 gift card to a record store of your choice. Take them for dinner at a mid-tier priced spot nearby the store, then head to the shop after dinner.

This one is pretty sweet for a music lover! I say Audiotechnica because my boyfriend gifted me one and I totally love it, but you can really get any kind of record player! This will totally surprise a loved one who’s been wanting some vinyl in there life but hasn’t wanted to make the purchase. It’s both surprising and thoughtful.

Going out on Valentines can be both overrated and stupidly expensive. You can organize a romantic night in for whatever price point you choose really. Make a Spotify playlist with some romantic songs, grab some candles, good snacks (maybe even bake them something heart-shaped?), and just spend some time together! You could even grab some fake rose petals from your local craft store. My point is, you don’t need to go out to have a romantic evening.

This one also ranges depending on the show. Personally, I love receiving concert tickets as a gift. The best part is that I love bands that charge $10 for shows, and I love bands that charge $200 for shows. There are options to gift this amazing gift and create memories for every price point.

True music lovers appreciate some good sound quality! I recommend Bose, Marley, or Sonos.

I think this is a great present. These streaming services don’t cost a ton, but it’ll save your lover some coin every month if you buy them a year membership to either of these streaming services! My favourite is Spotify.

A nice band tee of their favourite artist because we all love that! You can grab something nicer at a place like Urban Outfitters, or find something a bit cheaper at Hot Topic or Urban Planet.
