38 Valentine’s Day Gifts That Are One Big Heart Emoji
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 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 boo can enjoy year-round. We’re talking on-point subscription boxes, fancy kitchen upgrades they wouldn’t buy themselves, and hot sauce samplers 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: Champagne truffles.)
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 get to shopping the best Valentine’s Day gifts, lest your grand gestures turn into last-minute DIY duds.
Whether it’s with a fancy moisturizer, a cute pajama set, or a thoughtful jewelry gift, 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 a pretty charm keepsake representing their birth flower with a little home to store it in. Don’t miss Dior’s selfie-worthy eye patches available at Sephora, or Susanne Kaufmann’s juniper and pine-scented bubble bath, for a more elevated take on your standard glitter bath bombs.
Looking to shower your guy with more than just a cutesy “I love you” card and weighted blanket for self-care? Here’s what we have in store for you: a new houseplant to brighten up his side of the bedroom, comfy puffer slippers for the Virgo big into gorpcore, a toasty merino wool beanie, and a next-level coffee bean grinder for his most potent morning brew yet.
If you’ve spent any time on our site before, you’ll know that we love Nordstrom for finding gifts year-round. This holiday is no exception, with top picks at Nordstrom including Dyson’s best-selling Supersonic hair dryer, a Slip silk pillowcase and scrunchie gift set, and Diptyque’s new Roses candle that’s almost too pretty to light.
To those of you who think about buying gifts for weeks but commit only once the stress-induced adrenaline kicks in, we have one thing to say: Amazon. The mega-retailer has proved itself to be a reliable source for down-to-the-wire gifting, with crowd-pleasing picks across virtually every category. Whether they’re foodies (see: a retro heart waffle maker), coffee-table-book lovers, or mourning the loss of an AirPod, we found presents they’ll love—and that’ll definitely get there in time. Peep a few highlights below, then head here for our lineup of last-minute gifts at Amazon.
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of satiny ribbons being pulled apart as your giftee dives straight into any one of these chocolate gifts. We had to include at least one heart-shaped gift box (sorry not sorry) for the unapologetic romantic, though we also found some fresh gift ideas in the treats department, like a trio of small-batch, single-origin bars, teeny-tiny white chocolate “love birds,” and Champagne truffles so good they’ll be savoring each bite.
