Skip the usual Valentine Day gift ideas under $150 – this one has actual taste. The Theory Olive Pink combines a matte rose dial with a solid olive wood case and band.

Rina 53 Sunglasses for Valentine’s Day

Most Valentine Day gift ideas under $150 lean safe – these do not. The Rina 53 sunglasses offer a sharper alternative to the usual picks. With a rounded cat eye frame and bamboo temples, they bring a bit of edge to an otherwise practical gift. The brown CR-39 lenses and keyhole bridge add structure and subtle throwback character.
They’re polarized for glare-free clarity and built with full UV400 protection. So while they look good, they also work hard – on road trips, beach days, or everyday errands.
When curating Valentine's Day gift ideas for her, skip the generic. Choose something that lasts, that’s functional, and that still feels personal. Rina 53 delivers on all three.

If you’re browsing Valentine's Day gift baskets, this is a more considered take. There’s no fluff or filler, just two well-made accessories presented in a box that looks as good as what’s inside. Thoughtful, practical, and gift-ready straight out of the packaging.
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Him
Odyssey Marble Ebony Rose Gold
- Case Size: 40mm
- Case Thickness: 10mm
- Strap Width: 20mm
- Movement: Japanese Miyota VJ32
Not all Valentine Day gift ideas under $150 manage to feel substantial – this one does. The Odyssey Marble Ebony Rose Gold walks the line between rugged and refined, making it an easy win for the guy who doesn’t care for trends but still notices good design.
The deep ebony wood case gives it weight without bulk, while the Italian blue marble dial brings in natural depth and variation. Rose gold accents cut through the cool tones for balance, and the Roman numerals add just enough formality. There’s also a date window, which feels more practical than decorative.
This is the kind of piece he’ll actually wear – during the workweek, on weekends, or when packing light for a trip. It’s built with care, priced fairly, and doesn’t try too hard.
Jord Walnut Sunglasses for Valentine’s Day
- Size: 53-19-140mm
- 400 UV protection

You don’t need to overthink Valentine Day gift ideas under $150 when one pair of sunglasses can say a lot. The Jord Walnut combines layered walnut and orange maple for a finish that feels raw, not manufactured. Every frame is slightly different – no two pairs match.
The squared aviator silhouette is balanced by a slim metal brow bar and a saddle nose bridge that wears comfortably all day. Polarized lenses add real utility, cutting glare whether he's driving into the sun or spending the afternoon outside.
If you're narrowing down Valentine's Day gift ideas for him, this checks every box. It’s thoughtful, handcrafted, and built with materials that last. He’ll notice the details even if he never says it – and he’ll wear them longer than a box of chocolates ever lasts.
