40 Over-The-Top Celebrity Valentine’s Day Gifts That Made People Question Their Intentions

What do you usually do on Valentine’s Day to show someone you love them? A cute date night? A thoughtful gift? A nice meal for two? That’s great… but wait until you see how celebrities do it! These extravagant Valentine’s gestures might make you envious of how the other half live or they’ll make you more grateful for the simple things in life.

1. Machine Gun Kelly to Megan Fox

What: A blood-filled necklace 

When: 2021 


The weirdest couple in showbiz never disappoint when it comes to grand gestures. For Valentine’s Day 2021 Machine Gun Kelly posted a picture of his gruesome gift on Instagram and wrote to his almost-divorced-from-her-husband girlfriend, “I wear your blood around my neck.” She’s his Bloody Valentine all right.

2. David Beckham to Victoria Beckham

What: A diamond and ruby necklace

When: 2006


Soccer star David gifted his former Spice Girl wife Victoria something very special in 2006. It was a stunning $8 million Bulgari necklace, all diamonds and rubies, and it goes without saying that it looked great on her. She wore it to the Met Gala that year, because when you’ve got it, flaunt it.

3. Nick Cannon to Mariah Carey

What: A lavish New York City date night 

When: 2013


Mariah Carey had a fabulous date night with Nick Cannon for Valentine’s Day 2013 — and she live-tweeted the whole thing for her followers. There were candles, bubbles, balloons, and even a horse-and-carriage ride through Manhattan. "A kiss delicately scented with horse dung.... Still romantic though.” Mariah wrote.

4. Chip Gaines to Joanna Gaines

What: A giant graffiti love note

When: 2019


Of course the Gaines’ Valentines celebration would involve a building! But not a fixer-upper: for Valentine’s Day 2019 Chip Gaines had one of the Magnolia Market silos painted with some wholesome graffiti, a big proclamation of “Chip [hearts] Jo.” Awww. And then he did the same thing the following year!

5. Offset to Cardi B

What: A getaway and a Patek Philippe watch

When: 2021


Offset definitely made Cardi B’s Valentine’s Day one to remember. Not only did he give her heart-shaped balloons and a beach getaway, he also got her a luxury Patek Philippe watch. Cardi B posted on Insta, along with photos, “Thank you baby. You made this weekend so extra-special for me. I love you forever.”

6. Orlando Bloom to Katy Perry

What: A $5 million engagement ring

When: 2019


Is there anything more romantic than a proposal on Valentine’s Day? Orlando Bloom didn’t think so! He got down on one knee for Katy Perry in 2019, and unsurprisingly she said yes. The sparkler itself was a ruby-and-diamond creation worth about $5 million, making Orlando a true Lord of the Rings.

7. Keith Urban to Nicole Kidman

What: A trip to Dollywood

When: 2020


Dollywood may seem like a strange choice for a Valentine’s Day outing… but then you remember, Keith Urban is a country music singer! So he shared his passion with his beautiful wife Nicole Kidman in 2020; the two of them posed inside a wooden heart for Instagram.

8. Jonathan Owen to Simone Biles

What: A huge balloon display

When: 2021


Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and her football-player beau Jonathan Owens had a fantastic first Valentine’s Day together.

When: 2019


Kanye West never did things by halves while he was still married to Kim Kardashian. In 2019 he bought her a whole performance from a famous saxophonist, Kenny G, and a whole room filled with roses. No word on what Kenny G thought about having to perform without disturbing any of the roses…

10. Hugh Jackman and Deborah Furness

What: A jigsaw puzzle of them

When: 2020


Staying in with a hot beverage and doing jigsaw puzzles is a perfectly valid Valentine’s Day date. But if you’re a celebrity, you might do it a little differently. In 2020 Hollywood heartthrob Hugh Jackman posted a pic of himself putting together a jigsaw depicting him and his wife Deborah.

11. Charles Melton to Camila Mendes

What: A tattoo

When: 2019


For their Valentine’s Day celebrations in 2019 Charles Melton and Camila Mendes went out to a big party celebrating an upcoming movie Charles was starring in, Bad Boys for Life.

12. Jay-Z to Beyoncé

What: A platinum-covered phone

When: 2009


What do you buy for one of the most successful and wealthiest superstars on the planet? That’s something Jay-Z has to consider every year when Valentine’s Day rolls round.

13. John Legend to Chrissy Teigen

What: A mystery date on a private jet

When: 2015


Chrissy Teigen kept her fans guessing when she posted, “I'm on my magical mystery date! Luckiest girl alive,” for Valentine’s Day in 2015. But since the photo she uploaded was of her and John Legend on a private jet, we can assume it was a very extravagant date indeed.

What: The rental of a whole aquarium

When: 2021


Michael B. Jordan cemented his position as the internet’s dream boyfriend in 2021. He took Lori Harvey out on an amazing Valentine’s Day date to an aquarium — one he’d rented out for just the two of them! And as if that wasn’t enough, he hired top chefs from Nobu to prepare them dinner.

15. Matthew Rutler to Christina Aguilera

What: An engagement ring 

When: 2014


Christina Aguilera delighted fans with her Valentine’s Day post in 2014. It was of her and film producer Matthew Rutler holding hands in Hawaii… and there was a VERY big engagement ring on her finger. Turned out Matthew had designed it himself, and it was worth at least $40,0000.

What: A luxury watch

When: 2019


J-Lo spent a massive $24,3000 on a stunning Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch for her baseball star boyfriend Alex Rodriguez in 2019. Sadly, though, the relationship didn’t last in the end and the pair called off their engagement in 2021. But A-Rod got to keep the watch, right?

Actress Rebecca Romijn informed InStyle magazine in 2015 that Jerry O’Connell, her husband of 15 years, was a true Valentine’s Day winner. She revealed, “My husband put in a vineyard about six years ago in our house. It was a Valentine’s present.” One that’s both heartfelt and extremely useful!

What: A baby

When: 2018

19. Joe Manganiello to Sofia Vergara

What: A personal candy bar

When: 2018


Sofia took a pic of this fabulous display for her Instagram and called it “the perfect Valentine’s treat.” Can’t argue with that. It had been less than a year since she had married her husband Joe Manganiello and clearly things were off to a very sweet start — pun intended.

20. Salma Hayek to her daughter

What: A hot-air balloon ride

When: 2017

21. Carole Lombard to Clark Gable

22. Justin Theroux to Jennifer Aniston

What: A trip to Paris

23. Kanye West to Kim Kardashian (again)

What: A panther bracelet

When: 2013


Kanye West absolutely showered Kim Kardshian with gifts during the time they were together.

A $73,000 panther, with emeralds for eyes!

24. The Weeknd to Bella Hadid

What: A huge amount of flowers

When: 2019


The Weeknd went all-out to give Bella Hadid a great Valentine’s Day in 2019: he absolutely covered her house in flowers and candles!

25. Angelina Jolie to Brad Pitt

What: A 200-year-old tree

When: 2010


Brad Pitt is not the best giver of presents. Reportedly, in 2013 he gave his wife Angelina breath mints for Valentine’s Day. Yes, breath mints. That’s a bit of a comedown, considering what Ange got for him three years prior in 2010: a beautiful 200-year-old olive tree worth thousands of dollars.

What: A big flower bouquet

When: 2021


Dwayne Johnson was thrilled to get a Valentine’s Day present from his children in 2021. He snapped a pic of the spectacular bouquet and wrote on Instagram, “Full transparency, I was shocked when this stunning arrangement arrived and I realized they were for ME from my girls.” Awww.

27. Courteney Cox to David Arquette

What: A carousel horse

When: 2010


Sometimes it’s nice to get your Valentine something you know they’ll love, rather than the traditional flowers and balloons. That’s what Courteney Cox did for her then-husband David Arquette in 2010: she got him an antique carousel horse. It didn’t come cheap, either — it was worth a reported $45,000!

What: A engagement ring 

When: 2018


Infamous Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee proposed to influencer Brittany Furlan, a woman 24 years his junior, on Valentine’s Day 2018.

What: A bejeweled popsicle
