In Estonia, 14 February is traditionally celebrated as Friendship Day — a holiday that highlights not only romantic love, but also friendship, closeness, and warm relationships.

It’s common to celebrate this day with partners, friends, family members, and everyone who plays an important role in your life.
When choosing a gift, consider what would bring genuine joy: something romantic, practical, personalised, or perhaps a shared experience.

We’ve gathered a few thoughtful ideas to inspire you and help you plan a meaningful Friendship Day.

Classic and Heartfelt Gift Ideas

1. Flowers – a timeless gesture

Flowers are a classic symbol of 14 February. Red roses or a seasonal bouquet always convey warmth, appreciation, and sincere emotions.

You can choose and order a beautiful bouquet from ROSES.EE, offering both classic roses and a wide variety of floral arrangements.

For a more personal touch, Kannike Lillepood or Marianne Lilleäri are excellent choices, providing beautifully arranged bouquets in Tallinn.

Flowers can be paired with a small card or a shared experience — a romantic walk, a movie night, or a cosy coffee date in a favourite café.

2. Sweets and artisan chocolate

Chocolate is a perfect gift for both partners and friends, especially when it’s handcrafted from high-quality ingredients.

For Friendship Day, Chocolala’s Valentine’s Day selection offers gift sets, truffles, and sweets in charming festive packaging.

To make the gift even more memorable, you can visit the Chocolala Chocolate Museum in Tallinn’s Old Town together — a lovely place to spend a relaxed afternoon.

3. Personal and practical gifts

If you’re looking for something more individual, consider these ideas:

Handmade jewellery and accessories — bracelets or necklaces in red or pink tones with a special meaning.

Cosy home items — candles, decorative cushions, or a soft throw can help create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
For example, Tallinn Design House offers stylish products from local designers, perfect for a thoughtful and personal gift.

4. Experiences and time together

Sometimes the best gift isn’t a thing, but a moment. A dinner at a new restaurant, a cinema visit, concert tickets, or a simple walk through the winter city can be far more memorable than material gifts.

February in Estonia is often crisp and beautiful — an ideal time for winter walks and cosy evenings in cafés.
