33 ROMANTIC VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT IDEAS EVERYONE WILL LOVE
These Valentine’s Day gift ideas are bound to have your loved ones swooning this V-Day.
Valentine’s Day is such a controversial holiday! While some fully embrace the day of love, others see it as a commercial nonsensical day. “Why show you love someone on one day, when you should be doing it everyday,” they ask. I get it. But life gets busy, and sometimes it’s nice to take a day to slow down and show the people around you how much they mean to you. Whether it’s for your romantic partner, your bestie, your mom, or anyone you love, thoughtful gifts that show them that you understand their tastes can mean so much. This list of Valentine’s day gift ideas will not disappoint!
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas For Her
A Facial
A good facial is relaxing, refreshing, but somehow also feels productive. There’s no better feeling that fresh, glowing skin! If your girl’s already got an aesthetician she loves, snag an appointment for her. If not, do a little research on the good ones in your area that would make dream Valentine’s Day gift ideas.
Couple's Massage
Valentine’s day gifts that can be experienced together are the ultimate gift. A couple’s massage is relaxing and romantic. Grab dinner together after, and you’ve got the perfect Valentine’s Day.
Manicure/Pedicure
Somehow, having your nails done can really make you feel like you have your s**t together. A gift card to a manicure or pedicure (or both!) is an easy no-brainer.
Meal Kit/Home Chef
If your lady is always the one crafting daily dinners, this is the perfect way to say “thank you.” Order a meal kit from a local restaurant, and they’ll send you all the ingredients and recipes. Plus, learn how to prepare a dish from her favorite place! Or, if you’re really feeling like going above and beyond, bring in a home chef to prep a meal for you both.
Candles, Bath Bombs, and Run a Bath for Her
Thoughtful and low-key, this gift says, “I know you’re stressed and busy, and I’m here for you.” Clean the bathtub (a must if you don’t have a stand-alone bath), run a warm soak, set up some candles, and gift her a jar of the best Ouai bath bombs. This little surprise is understated but so often overlooked. If “acts of service” is her love language, this will win major points!
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
A box of chocolate covered strawberries is a fantastic Valentine’s day gift idea. It’s romantic, sensual, and often healthier than most sugar-packed chocolates. Because they’re a little harder to come by than chocolates from the local drugstore, they show effort and forethought (very sexy!).
Lingerie
I mean, lingerie is an obvious Valentine’s Day gift idea, but that’s the case for a reason. A beautiful, delicate new bra like this La Perla brassiere is so special. There’s nothing like new, matching undergarments to make a gal feel like taking on the world!
Flowers
Another classic, flowers breathe life and joy into a room. I’m a firm believer in buying flowers all year long, and if your lady is too, a special bouquet of her favorite flower is very thoughtful. If you don’t know what that is, red roses never disappoint on Valentine’s Day!
Jewelry
Knowing her style and where her other jewelry is from will lead you to pick something she will seriously swoon over. You’ll never go wrong with this one. This gorgeous 18k gold wishbone ring is delicate and a major swoon.
DIY Basket
Put together a basket of all of her favorite things, items she needs, and pieces you know she’ll love. Noticed she’s running low on her favorite lip balm? Throw it in. Realized she finished the most recent book in her series? Buy the next one. This gift is all about putting together items that are meaningful to her. When done well, this gift idea can have major impact.
A Day Trip For Her
If “quality time” is her love language, this gift is for her. Plan a day trip to somewhere you know she’ll love. A day on the slopes, at the beach, or a cute nearby town. Plan the drive (her favorite snack in the car), the activity (tickets booked), a meal (reservation made), and spend time with phones on airplane mode for a day. The planning and quality time together make this gift the best for bonding and connecting!
Valentine's Day Gift Ideas For Him

Experiences are such underrated gifts. Tickets to a concert or comedy show will bring your guy joy and bring you two closer together through the shared experience.
A Day Trip For Him
Planning a day trip to do something your favorite guy loves is such a fun way to show interest in his interests, learn something new, or spend quality time together. Whether it’s a hike, a ski trip, or anything else, build the day around things you know he’ll love.

Decorate to make it extra cute!
Smart Mug
For a coffee lover, this is perfect for his workstation or at home. If your guy is constantly reheating his coffee, this is such a nifty trick!
Cozy Sweatset
In chilly February, what clothing is a better gift than a cozy sweatsuit. A love a dark version that can almost work for Zoom calls as well as a cozy movie night. This season, we’re loving this J. Crew Fleece crewneck that’s available in tall.
Massage Gun
Our Theragun is, I swear, one of the best things I’ve ever purchased. You will be absolutely obsessed. It’s ideal for post workout soreness, but it’s also great to help loosen up any tight muscles. There are other massage gun options at different price points, but the Theragun is truly worth the splurge. The strength of its motor allows for serious efficacy. We even take it on vacation with us!
Portable Grill
This adorable and super portable grill works perfectly in the park, at the beach, or anywhere else you’d want to grill up a burger. Not only is it compact, but it will also amp up your picnic game.
His Favorite Cologne
Buying someone a scent can be tough because it’s a very personal item. A scent that smells good on you might not smell good on me. However, if you know your guy’s favorite scent, replenishing his supply is an easy and thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift idea.
