While you never need a special occasion to show your boo appreciation, the best Valentine’s Day gifts are welcome, nonetheless. Sure, birthdays and holidays like Christmas give you time to pause and shower your loved ones with stuff they need or want, but the tone of V-Day presents speak more to your love for your special someone. Though we’re still a month out from February 14, it’s always smart to start shopping early—especially if you have multiple valentines to please (bestie, husband, girlfriend, daughter, mom, you name it).
If you’re trying to find the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for the man or woman who already seems to have everything, surprise them with something they’d never expect. A personalized gift works well here, such as a map of the sky the night you met. You can always lean into the traditional picks associated with Cupid’s big day—lingerie, a bouquet, box of chocolate, jewelry, or sex toy that feel good for both parties. Pamper your significant other with cozy pajamas and a neck massager that brings the spa home, or add heat to date night with a risqué game of truth or dare. Want to show your BFF some big-time love? Opt for a theme-y gift like a heart-shaped spoon rest or silk pillowcase.
Below, you’ll find some of the very best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for all types of sweethearts (including great Valentine’s Day gifts for him, for her, and for Galentine’s Day, too).
Top Valentine’s Day Gifts:
Best 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, may we suggest traditional faves like a towering bouquet of red roses from one of our go-to online flower delivery services, ultra-cozy slippers that look chic enough to wear out, or a glamorous silk robe. A cardigan embroidered with hearts is a sweet Valentine’s Day gift for her. To go the more meaningful route, order this poster customized with the starry sky on the night of a date important to you (like a wedding or the day you met). Need a Valentine’s Day gift for your daughter? Fill in this book of prompts that’ll say “I love you” in more ways than one. Here are a few of our favorite gifts for women.
Best Valentine’s Gifts for Him
A cutesy Valentine’s Day card with a love note tucked inside is always a winner, but the most unique gifts for men are ones that surprise. One of the top-selling presents that Glamour readers buy is this keychain that looks like a film roll but unspools to reveal a slideshow of the two of you. If he’s a little geeky, give him socks personalized with your face (or your child’s or pet’s). Or pick up a gift idea that’s as useful as it is intimate: warm, plushy slippers or a massage gun that relaxes and loosens him up for whatever activities you have planned later.
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 a budget-friendly, star-studded necklace that’s a perfect gift idea for teens to statement pearl earrings that are bound to become your wife’s everyday favorites. And, of course, you can’t go wrong with a puffy heart-shaped pendant or a chic cuff from Kate Spade that’s subtly engraved with a meaningful reminder inside the band.
Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Wives
Determined to pinpoint a thoughtful gift for the queen of your family? Think about what makes her happy and go from there. Does she spend hours perusing Pinterest? Maybe she’d like a framed illustration. The fashion-forward will swoon over a trending luxury gift like this Tom Ford perfume, or velvet keepsake box that protects her jewels and goodies in her tote or luggage. And for a more romantic gift, customize a reusable matchbox with your initials and wedding year (because you’re the perfect match—get it?).
Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Husbands
We love a steamy surprise for hubbies—it is Valentine’s, after all. Some recommendations: a risqué version of truth or dare (hello, date night), candle that melts into massage oil, or a top-recommended sex toy for couples. Want a tamer present? This Armani men’s cologne is a coastal-scented classic. An insulated growler will keep his favorite beers fresh for days, while a ball trimmer will ensure his “lawn” is in order.
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 luxe silk pillowcase or sparkling tennis bracelet. A guided journal is a calming way to start her day, filled with easy prompts she can jot down to recenter and recharge; meanwhile, lighting a candle personalized with her birth date (and a unique fragrance) is an atmospheric way to unwind at the end of the day.
Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Boyfriends
Is your best guy notoriously hard to shop for? Some of the greatest gifts for boyfriends for Valentine’s are those that give him moments of elevated self-care, such as a set of nourishing skin-care (a plus if you’re kissing his dry skin), super soft pajamas, or a heated neck massager that’ll knead any tension out of his shoulders. And if you’re looking to build intimacy or get to know him a bit better, a conversation card game for couples is sure to bring you closer together.
Best Galentine’s Day Gifts for a Friend
Shopping for your bestie for Galentine’s Day is easy. If you like it, you know they’ll probably love it too. That’s why we recommend cherry-picking anything that would make you smile and feel all loved and pampered. Think: a coquette claw clip, book that pokes fun at men, heart-shaped spoon rest that can dress up their countertop, or an adorable gadget that whips up mini waffles.
Best Sexy Valentine’s Day Gifts
Is there any better excuse than this holiday 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 a rose-shaped vibrator or a bullet vibe that doubles as jewelry. If you’re all set in the accessories department, tempt your giftee with a sexy gift like a playbook of exciting new poses to try.
Best Valentine’s Day Lingerie Gifts
Speaking of lingerie…intimates are one of those things that many people won’t buy themselves because it’s not exactly essential—but, damn, is it a lot of fun. Spoil your sweetheart with a lacy chemise or a comfy thong that’s crotchless for some easy-access fun.
