Classic Valentine’s Gifts for Her

We all know that person: the loved one who insists on skipping the consumer holiday but low-key expects a gesture anyway. For this valentine or galentine, may we suggest traditional faves like a towering bouquet from one of our go-to online flower delivery services, a candle so luxe they’d never splurge on it themselves, ultra-cozy slippers that look chic enough to wear out, or even a 500-piece puzzle inspired by vintage Valentine's Day postcards—a cute Galentine's Day activity (and a great gift idea for the person who has everything). These also make cute Valentine's Day gifts for daughters.

Unique Valentine’s Gifts for Him

A cutesy Valentine’s Day card with a love note tucked inside is nice, but the best way to show your guy how much you care is with the must-haves for an intimate evening at home together. Think a comfy robe that’s like second skin, and plush slippers to keep his feet toasty, and maybe even a percussive massage gun to loosen things up. Whoever said romantic gifts couldn’t also be practical?

Best Valentine’s Day Sexy Gifts

Is there any better excuse than Valentine’s Day to surprise your partner with some sexy Valentine's Day lingerie or downright buzzy entertainment (read: couples sex toys)? Add spice to date night by picking up pretty lace lingerie and of the best vibrators. If you're all set in that department, get tempted by a playbook or libido-enhancing gummies.

Best Valentine’s Day Jewelry Gifts

On the hunt for unique gifts or personalized presents? Take yourself to the jewelry department, where you'll find everything from budget-friendly, gold-plated earrings that are perfect gift ideas for teens to trendy danglers shaped like bows to a diamond (well, cubic zirconia, but you’d never know it) tennis bracelet that’s bound to become your wife’s everyday arm candy.

Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Wives

Determined to pinpoint a thoughtful gift or the queen of your family? Think about what makes her happy and go from there. Does she spend hours perusing home decor inspo? Maybe she’d like a framed print or an adorable bow napkin rings to bring her next dinner party to new heights? For the fashionistas out there, a sophisticated scarf or an on-theme purse will make her heart go pitter-patter.

Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Husbands

Chances are your husband doesn’t know what he wants (right?), but luckily, we do! Whether you’re shopping for a sexy surprise like a risqué version of truth or dare, a sentimental gift such as a keepsake book to remind him that you mean every word of your vows even all of these years later, an everyday treat like a houseplant, or a brilliant portable coffee grinder, these are some of the best gifts you can give him.

Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Girlfriends

If there’s anyone you want to impress on Valentine’s Day, it’s probably your girlfriend. Surprise her with a special bracelet, or keep it simple with a luxe pair of jammies. And when in doubt, beauty products like a nourishing skin care gift set or a jewelry box for her baubles make great gifts for any gal.

Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Boyfriends

Is your best guy notoriously hard to shop for? Including luxe toiletries by Malin + Goetz, Oprah’s favorite hot sauce to delight his senses, a dope beanie, and a coffee subscription to start his day on the right foot, these are the very best gifts for boyfriends this Valentine’s Day.

Best Galentine’s Day Gifts for a Friend

Shopping for your bestie is easy. If you like it, you know they’ll love it too. That’s why we recommend cherry-picking anything that would make you smile and feel all loved and pampered. Think a silk pillowcase for a better night’s sleep with all kinds of beauty benefits, a heart-shaped necklace, a trendy claw clip everyone on TikTok will be asking her about, or a tea sampler for a moment of self-care at the end of a long day.

Best for Kids

If you have kids, then you know that you’re only as happy as your least happy child. (It’s true!) Make sure they’re all smiles this Valentine’s Day by spoiling them rotten with fluffy blankets, cozy jammies with hearts smattered all over them, adorable friendship bracelets they can pass out to their BFFs, and a sweet bedtime book you can snuggle up and read together.

Most Popular/Trending Gifts

Prove you’ve got your finger on the pulse with something they’ve probably seen littering their For You page. There's Drunk Elephant skin care tweens will flip for, a candle that's customized with their birthday, the viral Laniege lip mask our editors love, and a Glamour Beauty Award–winning lip gloss that's also TikTok-approved.

Last-Minute Valentine’s Day Gifts

For those of you who have the best intentions of shopping ahead of time but never actually commit until the stress-induced adrenaline kicks in, there’s one easy solution: Amazon. The mega-retailer is a reliable source for down-to-the-wire gift-giving. Whether they are instant-camera aficionados, mourning the loss of an AirPod, or foodies who will go all heart eyes over a retro red waffle maker, you can’t go wrong with these last-minute picks.
