5 Valentine’s Day Gifts For The Witch In Your Life, Under $50
February is rounding the corner quickly as winter begins to slow, are you ready to celebrate the witchy women in your life?
No? That’s alright – I’ve got you.
Now to be perfectly clear, most people who practice witchcraft or paganism do not, exactly, celebrate the standard holiday season. However, that is absolutely no excuse to let them go without thoughtful gifts and excessive attention. Everyone loves being celebrated – your spiritual beloved is no exception to this.
What can you do to ensure they feel seen, loved, and appreciated for the beautiful and eclectic individual they are, without falling woefully for the heart-shaped traps, chocolate-filled trip-ups, and candy-dipped commonalities of the season? Simple, really: make sure the gifts you wrap are representation of their unique side, and feed their collector’s soul. That’s where I come in – as a funky spiritualist myself, I know exactly what they’ll worship – and what they wont.
A daily draw from the tarot deck is a staple of many mornings for us spiritualists, as regular and common as a cup of coffee and a plate of eggs.

This altar table with built in storage for their decks is a beautiful way to not only honor their divination, but allow them to display their daily pull, reminding them of the messages, warnings, gifts, or blessings they have in store.

This is one of the prettiest weather glasses I have seen, an elegant teardrop that contains a liquid mixture, one that crystalizes into gorgeous fractals as the weather turns.
A very pretty display, one that will go well with any living space, and bring a little weather inside. This is a luxurious way to connect to the cycles of the earth, as the bottle freezes and unfreezes.
Storm Glasses are a weather forecasting tool, popularized in the nineteenth century. Depending on the temperature and weather, different patters and shapes appear in the bottle. If I was gifted one of these, I would never shut up about it – “Hi! Welcome in, take your shoes off, have you seen my Storm Glass?” Did I mention the name is badass, too?

It comes in multiple sizes, so you can choose if your loved one would prefer a smaller, travel sized quilt to stand out on the grossly beige airplane, or if they’d want a sprawling tent, within which to cocoon themselves until spring arrives.
Things like this are no bleach and careful wash, so make sure to follow the instructions. Additionally, they are popular, so I would grab it soon before the size you have in mind runs out. If this purple floral pattern doesn’t quite suit their aesthetic, it comes in a variety of shapes and shades, so you can select the perfect combination for your special spiritualist.
If you don’t already know what a bedside carafe is, this selection may seen a bit off. Why would they want a glass of water as a Valentine’s Day gift? I’ll tell you why.
Imagine for a moment, a haunted castle in the wood, endless hallways with wide, intricate windows, through which the full moonlight glows along the floor in patterned columns. A woman, clad in a thick, flowing nightgown, rises from a restless sleep in her chambers. Nightmares haunted by a long-dead lover? A specter? A horror? Only she knows. She lights a candle and reaches for the carafe on the beside, a glass of water to settle her nerves as the castle around her groans.
Everyone wants to be that woman. Just trust me. This elegantly ribbed obsidian crystal carafe will lend a touch of old world beauty to any bedroom.
in the end…
Valentine’s Day is doubtlessly a corporation birthed money baby, one delicately placed before us every february wrapped in gossamer diapers, so that we may cheer and kiss and throw cash. Despite this, I would be remiss to lose an opportunity to celebrate the person that I love. They deserve it, and that outweighs any personal feelings I harbor towards the system, regardless of how vitriolic they may be.
