10 Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Your Rave Bae
If you’re the type of person who starts to fret when February rolls around, fear not. There’s so much more to Valentine’s Day than flowers and chocolate (though chocolate is a universal win, no matter the occasion). Whether your idea of romance is sharing a Crunchwrap Supreme on the beach or taking your boo to dance the night away at Crush, we’re taking the stress out of gift giving with present ideas for every dance music lover out there.
Don’t stress and just dance, ‘cause it’s time to get extra dope up in here.
“I Love Dirty Filthy Beats” T-Shirt
Self-explanatory and stylish. You can customize it to your bae’s liking by implementing some sexy T-shirt–manipulation tricks, or leave it as-is for those casual post-show coffee trips to Starbucks the next morning.
Galaxy Hoodie (or Tank Top) from iHeartRaves
Inevitable for when your sig other tells you they’re cold at the end of the night. Share the love and the warmth with these awe-inspiring galaxy hoodies for a gift that’s as colorful and visually enchanting as it is practical. Bonus points for being extra easy to identify in case of an attempted hoodie theft.
Light-Up Polar Bear Vest from iHeartRaves
If you’re not as keen on sharing your hoodie at the end of a long night (and hey, there’s no shame in that), get your favorite raver bae their very own lil’ something comfy. This polar bear vest not only fulfills the cute/warm criteria nicely, but it lights up, too, helping you find your date no matter how deep in the crowd they may be. It’s also a good excuse to practice your very best animal noises all night, which is definitely an understated way to bond with your boo.
Butterfly Cape from Dollz Kill
Anything that makes your date run around the room, flapping their arms and pretending to fly, is going to be a good source of precious memories later. Show your lover how to get in touch with their wild side with this sensational butterfly wing cape that’s perfect to wear to festivals, on a night out, or when you’re just feeling extra fabulous.
Heart-Shaped Hula Hoop from Moodhoops
Give your boo a performance they’ll never forget with this cute, heart-shaped LED hula hoop. You can customize everything from the size to the type of grip you want, which makes it a perfect gift for beginners looking to add a little flow to their moves—or for pros looking to dazzle. If your companion doesn’t know how to hula hoop (it happens, people), then it’s time you showed them a thing or two about how to really move.
Pixelboa from Moodhoops
Perfect for those final few hours when you’re winding down at the end of a long day, the Pixelboa serves as two things: 1) a comfy, furry boa that can be worn by multiple people at once and 2) an LED-infused, glowing source of wonder with a variety of different light modes. Ideal for cuddle puddles at the end of the night, it lasts up to seven hours on rainbow mode and comes with hidden nooks and crannies for storing important things—making it a win-win across the board.
King & Queen Caps from Etsy
If you and your boo have been through plenty of adventures and want to show off your love to the world, check out these fly-as-hell King & Queen caps. You can customize them by having a name printed on the side. But why stop there when you can add gems, lights, feathers, or even candy? It’s time to party with royalty, y’all.
The JBL Pulse 2
Don’t stop dancing! Keep the music going all night with this bad boy. It’s a portable Bluetooth speaker that’s waterproof and features a built-in light show (lasting up to a crazy 10 hours of playtime) that you can control from an app on your phone. You can also connect multiple devices to it at once, which means you and your date can take turns whipping up a set of your very own later in the parking lot.
The Commemorative Print
If you’re going for the sweet and soulful approach, try making your very own DIY gift for your puddin’ this Valentine’s Day. Take a photo that commemorates a great moment in your relationship—whether it’s your first show together, a particularly crazy night out, or even just a picture where you’re both rocking killer smiles—and turn it into some art. All you need is a few basics, like the print itself, a nice frame, and maybe a few accessories to make it really pop. Tutorials for this kinda game are available just about everywhere online, but Pinterest is where you can find thousands of ideas waiting at the ready.
Take Your Date to Crush 2017
The best gift you can really get your boo? An amazing experience. Science is even here to back us up on this one, as researchers at San Francisco State University found that people who spend more money on experiences tend to be happier and feel like their money’s been well spent.
Lock eyes over a Yellow Claw set and bust a move, cuddle like crazy, or even make up a dance so silly it’ll have your bae in tears from laughter. Whatever you do, just go out there and create some extraordinary memories together.
