There’s never a wrong moment to treat someone you love, but if you want to time your next present to February 14, we pulled together the best Valentine’s Day gifts for anyone on your list. Shopping online for presents can be a bright spot in your day when you can’t muster the physical energy to bundle up and go outside—plus, spoiling the people in your life when lock in one of the best Valentine’s day gifts for her (or Valentine’s day presents for him!) is guaranteed to win you some instant good karma.
Lean into tradition with reliable wins—luxe candles, flower arrangements, and high-quality skin-care products—or go the unconventional route with offbeat gifts your significant other can enjoy year-round. We’re talking on-point subscription boxes, fancy kitchen upgrades they wouldn’t buy themselves, and a Truth or Dare game that’ll spice up anyone’s night. For the sweet tooth pining for a box of chocolates and not an essential oil diffuser, we lined up yummy treats too good to pass up. (Read: Strawberry shortcake.)
Once you’re armed with the perfect V-Day present, you can then get to planning the rest of date night with some sexy Valentine’s Day lingerie and downright buzzy entertainment—no new Netflix show required. The Hallmark holiday will be here before you know it, so start scoping out our Valentine’s Day gift ideas, lest your grand gestures turn into last-minute DIY duds.
Whether it’s with fancy beauty products, a pretty pajama set, or personalized jewelry, there’s a perfect gift idea for every valentine or galentine in your life—including the loved one who insists on skipping the consumer holiday (but low-key expects a gesture regardless). Favorites in this corner include a towering bouquet from one of our go-to online flower delivery services, a splurge-worthy candle that’ll earn a permanent spot on their nightstand, and custom initial earrings that are a thoughtful gift for your best friend. Don’t miss Cavallini & Co.’s 500-piece puzzle inspired by vintage Valentine’s Day postcards—a cute Galentine’s Day activity (and great gift idea for the person who has everything).
Looking to show your guy you care with more than just a cutesy Valentine’s Day card and weighted blanket for self-care?

This holiday is no exception, with top picks at Nordstrom including Le Creuset’s adorable new L’Amour mug, a Slip silk pillowcase and scrunchie gift set, and Sugarfina chocolates almost too pretty to eat.
