Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean big gestures or over‑the‑top plans. Sometimes it’s the small things that say the most. From thoughtful, affordable gifts to easy ideas for staying in, we’ve rounded up simple ways to make the day feel special using finds from around the centre.

Whether you’re planning a quiet night at home, a relaxed date or a meaningful gift exchange, Eastlands has everything you need to share the love this Valentine’s Day.

Meaningful gifts

Show your other half how much they mean to you with gifts that feel personal, thoughtful and full of meaning.

Mark a moment that matters with engraving services from Pandora, Custom Planet or Mister Minit. A special date, your initials, or a love message can turn an everyday piece into something they will treasure for years to come.

For something that speaks to who they are, look to the things they already love. Find a special edition of their favourite book at QBD Books, pick up a vinyl from their go to artist at JB Hi Fi, or surprise them with something from their favourite movie or game at EB Games.

Plan a date worth remembering

Whether you are staying in or heading out, a simple plan can turn Valentine’s Day into a memorable moment.

At home date ideas

Create a cosy night in with a few easy additions. Pick up skincare favourites from the chemist, slip into matching pyjamas from Peter Alexander, and keep things fun with games from BIG W or a craft kit from Kmart. Top it all off with their favourite snacks, like a box of doughnuts from Donut King, and you have an evening that feels relaxed and thoughtful without leaving home.

Getting out for a picnic

If fresh air is calling, the perfect picnic starts with their favourite snacks. From there, it is all about the essentials. Find coolers, chairs and picnic sets at Bed Bath N Table, House and The Reject Shop to make setting up easy. Add a sunny spot and some good company, and the plan is sorted.
