Valentine's Day 2027 is on **Sunday 14 February**, and Valentine's Week starts on **Sunday 7 February** (checked 2026-10-20). Start gift ads two weeks early, and stop "delivered by the 14th" ads as soon as your courier can no longer make it.

## The week, day by day

Valentine's Week runs from 7 to 14 February, and each day has a name. Rose Day is 7 February and Chocolate Day is 9 February, for example. Lists differ a little by region, so use the days your audience knows. In 2027 the week starts on a Sunday and the 14th is also a Sunday.

In the Gulf, Ramadan is expected to begin on 8 February, so the 14th falls in its first week (see [Ramadan ad ideas](/campaigns/ramadan-ad-ideas)). Check your market's norms and your own audience before running a Valentine's creative that week.

## Timing plan

| When | What to run |
|---|---|
| 24 January to 6 February | Gift guides by budget, "remind me" sign-ups, early offers |
| 7 to 10 February | Valentine's Week: one offer per day, last courier orders |
| 11 to 13 February | Local and same-day delivery, digital gifts, table bookings |
| 14 February (Sunday) | Greetings and last-minute digital gifts |
| 15 February | Stop. Move leftover stock to "treat yourself" offers |

## A delivery cut-off, worked out

Say delivery takes three days and your courier does not deliver on Sundays. For a gift to arrive on Saturday 13 February, count back three days: the last order is Wednesday 10 February. Stop "arrives by Valentine's Day" ads at midnight that day. Switch to local delivery or a digital gift for the rest.

## Gift ideas by budget

| Budget | Idea |
|---|---|
| Under INR 999 | Chocolates, a small plant, a handwritten card, a candle |
| INR 1,000 to INR 2,999 | Perfume, personalised jewellery, a hamper |
| INR 3,000 and up | Jewellery, a watch, a weekend trip |
| Any budget | Experiences: dinners, spa slots, gift cards |

## Angles

- **For couples:** dinner for two, a surprise, a message in a bottle
- **Long distance:** same-day gifts that arrive where one of you is
- **Self-love:** "Treat yourself", with no partner in the picture
- **Friends and family:** gifts to people you love, not only partners
- **Small gestures:** cards, notes and photos

Write a few versions of each angle; see the [ad hook examples](/templates/ad-hook-examples) for opening lines.

## Mistakes to avoid

- Promising delivery on Sunday without checking your courier
- One message for every buyer, as if everyone has a partner
- Telling people what they must buy for someone
- Cutting budget on 12 and 13 February before you check your own data for last-minute buyers
- Treating the week of 14 February in the Gulf like any other

Gifting runs on through the spring: [Women's Day](/campaigns/womens-day-ad-ideas) is on 8 March and [Mother's Day](/campaigns/mothers-day-ad-ideas) follows.

If you ran Valentine's ads before, check which hooks and angles you used. We make Marxx, which reads your connected Meta ad account and tags every creative by hook, angle, format and offer. See [creative intelligence](/features/creative-intelligence).
