Although gifting a dozen roses never gets old, in reality, they only last about a week. These real, pre-potted roses stay fresh up for up to 3 years without needing to be watered, symbolizing your long-lasting love. The box is beautiful enough to stand on its own too, so no need to put the flowers in a vase.

4. For Your Tween

Ah, hot cocoa bombs: The viral TikTok trend that keeps on giving. They make the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for any hot chocolate lover, and will truly elevate the entire experience. This set comes with five bombs in different flavors, from fudge brownie to caramel candy.

5. For the Netflix-Loving Couple

100 Movies Scratch-Off Poster

6. For Your Yogi Bestie

Lululemon x Saje The Reset Kit

If the worst thing about your fave diffuser is that you can’t really bring it with you anywhere, then look no further. The geniuses at Lululemon and Sage have graced us with this awesome collab: a personal, rechargeable diffuser small enough to fit into your pocket or purse!

Use the roll-on oil on your neck and shoulder area or your pulse points, then fill the diffuser with water and the diffuser blend. Finally, breathe in the steam and relish in relaxation, wherever you are — the gym, your car, your work desk, your yoga mat… the possibilities are literally endless.

7. For Your Influencer BFF

Pink Travel Set

Price : $149

We’ve waxed poetic about the slip silk eye mask, and every beauty editor worth their salt has rhapsodized over the benefits of a silk pillowcase, too. Now, hit two birds with one stone with this chic, indulgent, V-Day-worthy set made of high-quality mulberry silk. It comes in pink and black, and is equally fab at home and while traveling.

8. For the Party-Throwing Couple

Valentine Fondue Set

Nothing to do? Then fondue! Have a sweet night in with your sweetheart — or the kids — with this charming fondue set. The pot is made of high-quality ceramics and comes with a lid, a 24-ounce bowl, a base for your tea lights, and four forks. A bag of milk chocolate chips and 12 assorted cookies are also included. Pro tip: Add in some marshmallows and fresh fruit, and you truly have yourself a par-tay.

9. For Your Plant-Loving Mom

Hoya Heart

Price: $32

If you want to get even racier, look no further than their Kinky Truth or Dare version.

11. For Your Jewelry-Loving GF

Double Heart Stud Earrings

Price: $22

These delicate, gold-plated dangling earrings are an adorable, slightly more understated take on trendy ’90s-inspired door knockers. Made with hypoallergenic posts and at an accessible price point, it’s going to be hard to resist getting a pair for yourself.

12. For the Stay-Home Couple

Love Potion Bath Bomb with Surprise Ring

Price: $16

You really can’t go wrong with giving them jewelry on Valentine’s Day, but if you’re looking to really blow your recipient out of the water, this fizzy bath bomb comes with a surprise inside.

16. For the Beauty-Loving BFF

Nail Lacquer in Ceremony of Secrets

Price: $18

Nail polish is the perfect just-a-little-something gift for Valentine’s Day. We love this glittery pink shade, but anything from Smith & Cult won’t disappoint! The easy-to-apply formula goes on opaque, and it’s pretty chip-resistant, too — meaning her manicure will last longer. It’s a little more expensive than the average nail polish but definitely worth the splurge.

17. For the ‘Done Everything’ Couple

26. For Your Charming Cousins

27. For the Understated Couple

Stainless Steel ‘Love’ Y-Shaped Necklace

28. For the Couple That Needs a Spa Day

Mesh Body Exfoliator

Price: $18

Throw away that icky bath pouf for something a little more eco-friendly (and clean!). This mesh exfoliator serves the same purpose as a pouf, but it can be thrown in the wash when it needs some good sanitizing.

30. For the Sexy Couple

Canvas and Paint Kit

Price: $65

Express yourself, don’t repress yourself! This intimate art kit is a messy, sexy way to help you explore your love. Simply splatter some paint on the canvas (or your bodies), and get busy. The result is a stunning abstract piece that’ll forever be your dirty little secret.

31. For Your Tech-Loving Brother

38. For the Writerly Twosome

39. For Your Long-Lasting Best Friend

Heart Stud Earrings

Price: $48

These adorable studs are perfect for Valentine’s Day, but they’re also classic enough to wear any other day, too.

These slippers are equally as cute as they are comfortable — and, yes, decidedly extra — with a fuzzy pompom up top. Also boasting a luxe velvety finish and an ultra cushiony memory-foam feel, they’ll be aching to wear this way past the boudoir.

41. For Your Luxe-Loving Friend

Women’s Gisele Long-Sleeve Pajamas

Price: $128

If you’re really looking to impress someone, we suggest gifting a pair of Eberjey pajamas — even Oprah agrees there’s nothing softer than this set. They’re made of buttery-soft modal that won’t shrink in the washer and dryer, and they look more put-together than those old sweats and T-shirts they normally wear to bed.

42. For the Sexually-Inclined Couple

The Nightcap Kit

Price: $34

End your Valentine’s Day with something special — Maude’s Nightcap Kit. It comes with ingredients for two old-fashioned cocktails, one vial of lube, and two condoms — literally most of what you’ll need to enjoy date night. You don’t have to enjoy all the items at once, though — there’s enough for two fun date sessions if you plan things right.

43. For the Date-Remembering GF

Personalized Date Necklace

Price: $22

44. For the Scent-Obsessed Couple

Stone Essential Oil Diffuser

Price: $119

Set the mood with an essential oil diffuser that’ll help keep your loved one calm, focused, and ready for whatever comes their way. Soothing aromatherapy releases in continuous 4-hour or 8-hour interval settings, and an internal light will help make more than just their heart glow. We’re obsessed.

45. For the Minimalist GF

Custom Handwriting Bracelet

Price: $41

Turn your love notes into a wearable item they can use to hold onto your handwriting. Send the seller a short but sweet handwritten statement, and the seller will transform it into a stunning bracelet in the tone of your choice.

46. For the Music-Loving BF

Personalized AirPods Case with Keychain

Price: $23

This personalized case is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for the AirPods-obsessed. The case is made from impact-resistant plastic and a leatherette material on top, so it’s both durable and stylish. It comes in four colors, and the Etsy shop has an AirPods Pro version, too.

47. For the Stay-at-Home Mom

Phenomenal Woman Sweatshirt

Price: $59

Any woman in your life, partner or not, would appreciate this cozy sweatshirt. Let her know just how phenomenal she is by gifting this raglan sweatshirt for Valentine’s Day. The sleeves make this sweatshirt feel a little slicker than your average pick, but they’re still just as comfortable.

48. For the Busy Couple

Bath Soak

Price: $28

Self-care accessories will always be a welcome gift, V-Day or not. These bath salts from Oui the People are full of skin-loving ingredients like magnesium and potassium, and they’ll help soothe tired muscles after a long day. If you’re feeling frisky, you could even hop in the bath with your loved one, so you can both enjoy a hot bath.

49. For Your Athleisure-Loving Nephew

All-Day Sweatpant

Price: $88

We’re obsessed with the All Day line from Outdoor Voices. The material feels like both a performance fabric and cozy loungewear, making it super versatile. They’ll be able to wear these while snuggling on the couch (with you, of course) or running errands on a weekend morning.

50. For Caffeine-Loving Couples

K-Mini Plus Single Serve Coffee Maker
