As February 14 rapidly approaches, people around the world are already making Valentine’s Day plans—whether writing love letters, or preparing gifts in an effort to show their significant other just how much they care. And while there are plenty of wonderful ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day, nothing quite says, “we’re together” like coordinating gifts. One for you, and one for them: It’s an easy way to demonstrate the bond you feel inside, on the outside.

Synchronizing with your better half doesn’t have to be over-the-top, either. From street style couples who twinned at Fashion Week, to celebrity couples who more subtly coordinate, it’s easy to turn the volume up or down on matching style. For the more reticent, instead of harmonizing through clothes, you’ll find that similar jewelry, the same keychain, or even another more low-key accessory can easily do the trick.

Ahead, we’ve included an array of coordinating his, hers, and unisex items, so every couple can show love this Valentine’s Day by wearing their hearts on their (matching) sleeves.

Matching Sneakers

Although “long walks on the beach” have been co-opted by bad dating profiles, it still remains a favorite pastime of many couples. So get your other half a pair of sleek white sneakers to run up the mileage—together.

A Set of Sweaters

A set of sweaters is one of our favorite ways to match. For the more reserved, wear them as an accessory tied around the shoulders.
