This morning, I started putting together a Valentine’s Day cup holder gift basket in my car, and it turned out so adorable that I just had to share the idea! Plus, it was incredibly inexpensive, and you can customize it however you want.
You can add Valentine’s heart confetti or glitter to the cup holder, like I did at the end, to give it more of a Valentine’s vibe. You can also include some flowers or even a small cactus,honestly, you can customize this cup holder in so many ways! And here’s a secret tip: you can get this cup holder for FREE at Starbucks when you buy a drink. 😜
This gift cost me around $30 the drink (I got it with points, but it’s about $8 and you can get a cheaper one), peanuts plus toy ($13), confetti ($3), and the mask and roller ($7). All together, it’s around $30, not bad for a cute, customized gift, right? And you can easily make it even cheaper if you want!

How to Make Your Own Valentine’s Day Cup Holder Gift Basket
- Start with a cup holder. You can get a free cup holder from Starbucks when you purchase a drink. I also noticed Starbucks now has two-space cup holders, making it an even cheaper option for Galentine’s gift ideas. Add a drink and a candle, and it’s sure to be the perfect gift!
- Fill each section. Use each spot in the holder to add little unique gifts.
- Add a personal touch. Include a handwritten note or decorate the cup holder with ribbons, hearts, or stickers.
