Valentine’s Gifts at Grindstore – For Those Who Aren’t Soppy
So if you haven’t realised January is behind us yet, perhaps it is time to remind you that Valentine’s isn’t far away.
Of course, not all of us are soppy and some of us like something just a bit different when it comes to the day of love and roses.
So how about heading over to check out Valentine’s gifts at Grindstore and seeing what they have on offer. After all, they have been at the helm of all things alternative since 2004.
These are 4 of my favourite alternative gifts they have on offer this Valentine’s.
Stay Weird Black Mug.

Anyone who knows me well knows I love a good mug, in fact, I often get told off for buying “just one more”. So of course I had to start my Valentine’s gifts at Grindstore run down with one.
So who was I turn down a mug when it arrived on my doorstep.
Now, let’s be honest in my world there is nothing quite like being a bit weird, so this cup suits me down to the ground.
That is alongside the fact that I love a good cup of tea.
Let’s get down to the stats; this ceramic mug holds around 310ml and comes in at 8cm x 9.5cm. It offers a large handle that fits well into the hand and is perfect for your favourite hot drink.
It doesn’t specify if it’s handwash only or not and I have put it through our dishwasher on the top shelf, but of course, if you want to risk that is up to you.
If you know someone who needs to Stay Weird and would LOVE this mug then check it out on Grindstore for just £5.99.
Cut My Food Into Pieces – Chopping Board.

I actually use Grindstore myself and bought a lot of Ash’s Christmas presents from there. However, I myself was not so lucky as no one granted my wish of this chopping board.
That is until Grindstore themselves came to the rescue.
As someone who blasted Papa Roach out, loudly, through my teens, this chopping board made me smile and now has pride of place in the kitchen.
This glass circular chopping board is made of toughened glass, however, it is a handwash only item.
However, if you know someone who likes to chop away to their favourite music it might be the perfect gift.
This chopping board comes in at an incredible £14.99 and is bound to get people talking if they notice it.
Stay Weird Tote.

Back to Stay Weird – I should probably explain why I’ve included 2 items from the same range, as it isn’t something I would normally do in a post like this. The mug was sent in replacement for one of my picks which had gone out of stock.
That said I have to admit, I don’t mind getting two items from “Stay Weird”. After all, as I mentioned before, I have a mug addiction and I counted the mug out while trying to be good. It was obviously meant to be.
This tote, however, was a must from the get-go, I always find reusable bags are a must-have in the car, as you never know when you will need one.
The smaller size of this one will hopefully mean I can carry small items myself. For anyone wondering it comes in at (38cm x 42cm).
If your tote gets dirty, don’t worry, just wash at 30 (but don’t tumble dry).
Know someone who needs this tote? Well never fear as it comes in at just £4.99.
Just Let Overthink It Cushion.

One thing I do a lot is overthink things. Honestly, I can spend hours just wondering if I said the right thing to someone. So when I saw this cushion I have to admit I did crack a smile (well as much as I can).
As my pain gets worse I find myself using cushions more, to help prop myself up and stay as comfortable as possible. So I am always up for adding a new one to my collection.
This lilac cushion comes in at 41cmx41cm and features a cotton cover with polyester fibre filling.
If you fancy an overthinking cushion for yourself it comes in at £12.99.
Conclusion on Valentine’s Gifts at Grindstore.
I obviously love Grindstore, it’s a website I’ve used myself in the past multiple times.
All the items above are from the Grindstore Originals range. However, they do sell a lot of licensed merchandise from bands, shows, movies, animes and more.
What’s more, they also ship worldwide and an estimated price in euros and dollars can be found on each product page.
I’m sure it doesn’t surprise you to hear of course I’ll be shopping at Grindstore again.

Brilliant gift ideas, quite quirky too
Got to love something with a bit of a twist.
Ha! These are brilliant gift ideas. I particularly love the cutting board!!!
It is the best isn’t it – I do love that chopping board.
Err – sorry – I thought we are supposed to give cards and flowers……
There are some gifts that made me giggle, but we’re so un-soppy we don’t do Valentines. My children are also forbidden to buy me flowers, (Always forced) for Mothering Sunday too.
Haha oh dear. To be honest we don’t really do cards or anything.
Love that chopping board
Isn’t it amazing!
Fantastic idea can’t stand valentines every year I dread it lol
I have to admit I mostly see it as a normal day – we might get a takeaway and watch a movie and get each other something we want but that’s about it.
I love these ideas we dont typically celebrate Valentines day as I’m not a soppy person by nature but if I did I would definitely buy something unique and not too lovey dovey
You can always make it a day to buy each other something fun!
These Valentine’s day gift ideas look very unique~ I could use that mug!
There’s nothing quite like a unique gift is there?

I am loving the mug the most. It’s ideal as a gift not just for Valentine’s – I have a number of friends that would love it!
It seems like a lot of people are loving the mug!
I love all these ideas. These would be something I’d really like. I’m not really in to all those Valentine things anyways. I really like the mug.
They are great aren’t they – I definitely like things like this more than the normal.

Haha I am the same – I just can’t say the words on it at all.
Unique gift guide. I adore that lavender color bag.
It is good isn’t it – so useful as well!
We don’t tend to buy each other gifts for Valentine’s Day, opting to celebrate our wedding anniversary later in the year. However, I do love that these gifts aren’t soppy – with the overthink cushion added to my Mother’s Day wishlist.
I can understand why you would do that. It’s a much more special day to you after all.
These are all great products! My favorite is the mug. I love it!
The mug is great and everyone needs a good one in their life (or 5).
I would definitely be over the moon to get the stay weird mug!
I love Grindstore, but I try not go on the website too often, it always costs too much!
Haha I totally know the feeling it’s so bad!
I keep forgetting Valentine’s Day is coming up. I’d never actually heard of Grindstore, but I love the gift ideas you’ve included here (especially that chopping board!)
I love quirky presents like this for valentines. A lot of valentines gifts feel really cheesy!
Hands up I can be cheesy at times, but these are right up my street.
Love these suggestions! Me and my husband are about as far from soppy as you can get lol! So these gifts would be perfect, I especially love the cushion and the slogan on it!
Great selection of quirky gifts here.
