62 Valentine's Day Gifts We'd Actually Want to Get This Year (2024)

62 Valentine's Day Gifts We'd Actually Want to Get This Year (1)

Every item on this page was hand-picked by a House Beautiful editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

In our expert shopping editor opinion, the best Valentine's Day gifts for her are ones that, at the very least, will elicit a smile. Because Valentine's Day isn't as much of a gift-giving holiday as a birthday or Christmas, there aren't any particular guidelines for buying her a present she'll love. Our suggestion, though? Skip the roses and chocolates, which feel a bit cliché at this point. Instead, opt for something she'll actually use, like a set of supremely cozy pajamas, a raspberry-colored carry-on suitcase, or a heart-shaped Le Creuset.

If she has everything she needs, feel free to offer her something she may not even realize she wants! Those, in fact, are the best types of gifts, if you ask us. Worry not; we have plenty of options for every type of present you'd want to get. The best part? There's a massive price range, so whether you're looking to splurge or save, you'll find something special here. Just don't forget to get a Valentine's Day card to pair with your wrapped goodies.

With the holiday only a week away, now is the time to get started on your shopping. If, for whatever reason you decided to wait until the last minute, rest assured that plenty of our favorite finds are from Amazon, so feel free to reap the benefits of your Prime membership (we're talking about that free two-day shipping, people!).

Photos have a sweet sentiment about them already, but they get even more delightful when arranged in a heart-shaped collage. The best part? You don't have to pick just one or two snapshots to display; you can choose up to 30! So if your partner has a soft spot for photographs, this is the perfect Valentine's Day gift for her.

Away The Carry-On

The Away carry-on is the perfect size. You can stuff quite a few outfits inside without losing your sense of organization because both compartments have mechanisms for keeping everything tidy. If you're a fan of the brand, you know that the carry-on has been around for a few years, but the beautiful pink color is brand-new.

For the Glassware Collector

Anthropologie Icon Juice Glasses, Set of 4

One of our favorite pieces from Anthropologie's Icon Glassware collection, these juice glasses (which can be used for any drink—even hot chocolate) are nothing short of cool. From the thickness of the glass to the perfectly imperfect hearts that won't pop off, these make for a long-lasting Valentine's Day gift.

For the Stylish Sleeper

LAKE Pima Long-Short Set

"I have a pair of LAKE's signature prime pajamas (in fact, it's this exact set, but in a different pattern) and the level of softness is not-to-be-believed," Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner says. "They're also not thick or heavy, so if you tend to sleep hot, you won't feel like these are making you even warmer. I wear them on days I work from home and then, more often than not, end up wearing them to bed as well.

For the Carrie Bradshaw Fan

Love Letters Of Great Men - Vol. 1

62 Valentine's Day Gifts We'd Actually Want to Get This Year (8)

For the Carrie Bradshaw Fan

Love Letters Of Great Men - Vol. 1

If she's a Sex and the City fan, she'll recognize this book. In fact, some may argue it was the impetus for the entire first SATC movie! Carrie read it to inspire her newest book, Big re-typed it as his apology for blowing off their wedding, and they both quoted it in their vows at the end.

These may seem like an odd Valentine's Day gift, but they are practical and last forever. "I received these boots as a gift and they are by far the best gift I've ever gotten. They're so comfortable, stylish, and they're shockingly durable. I wore these in Park City during the most disastrous blizzard I've ever experienced, and they saved my jeans from being ruined, kept my feet dry, and survived the storm without so much as a stain," Cherner explains.

For the Baker

Le Creuset Heart Baking Dish

For the Baker

Le Creuset Heart Baking Dish

No, this is not an adorable and tiny dish she'll just stare at, but won't actually use. In fact, it's pretty sizable (two quarts) and dishwasher safe, so it may become her new go-to cookware piece for everything from casseroles to bread loafs. We may be a bit biased, but we tend to think every home-cooked dish tastes a little better when it's in the shape of a heart.

Baths are inherently relaxing, but these will seriously up the serene vibes. In addition to a delicious, calming fragrance that will waft off the water, these bath salts detoxify and exfoliate the skin, relieve muscle aches, and moisturize. "I am generous with my bath salt pours," Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner says. "Some things are best in small doses, but with these, I like to do a hefty amount to really reap the benefits."

iLikePar Toasted Marshmallow Cupcake Candle

"My love of candles shaped like foods has become a running joke in my circle of friends, which I'm so happy about because every time there's an opportunity to swap gifts, I always end up with one of these novelty finds. I shamelessly have a few, but this one, which smells exactly like a s'more, is my favorite," Cherner says. "The only downside is that once the wax starts to melt, it looks less like a cupcake and more like a blob."

According to The Washington Post, wearing an eye mask at night can both "improve your sleep and boost your brain health," so why not spend $18 on bettering your partner's snooze abilities and cognitive function? This one, which is made entirely of mulberry silk, feels so soft on the face and won't absorb expensive eye creams or facial moisturizers.

For the Clumsy

For the Clumsy

Falke Cosyshoe Slippers

These slippers are as cozy as they look. The inside and the exterior are both made of the same fuzzy, slightly nubby material, but the bottoms are finished in a no-slip grip, so that, even if she's running across hardwood floors, she won't take a tumble.

We know we just kind of knocked flowers, but if you're not sure what to get her for V-Day, flowers are always a safe bet.

Anthropologie Gilded Agate Coaster

Rose quartz represents unconditional love, making it the unofficial stone of Valentine's Day. As you can see, each coaster in this set of four is slightly different from the others, making each one unique in its own right. They do, however, all feature the same gold foil wrapped around their slightly rough edges.

This may be perfectly on-theme for Valentine's Day, but it also works for every other day of the year. Cherner says, "I have been a Jonathan Adler fan for years, so when I found these sassy lips, I had to buy them for myself. They sit atop my stack of coffee table books in my living room, and they always get compliments."

Luckily, we can confirm that they're worth the hype. They're also a great excuse to splurge on an expensive candle because, as long as it's under this warming lamp, you'll never burn through it.
