14 Unknown Love Songs for the Perfect DIY Valentine’s Day Gift
Some people collect stamps, or sports memorabilia, or Pez dispensers.
I collect love songs.
But not cheese-tacular junk like “My Heart Will Go On” or “Lady in Red.”
We’re talking modern, upbeat songs about real love—no heartbreak or unrequited love in this round-up.
Which makes my little unknown love songs collection the PERFECT ready-made Valentine’s Day gift from you to your honey.
Plus, these songs are so good you’ll want to add them to your own everyday playlist.
For an easy DIY Valentine’s Day gift that’ll get you major brownie points, buy a few of the love songs listed below and follow my tutorial on how to share a playlist. Wrap your playlist, maybe throw in a box of chocolate, and you’re done!
