What can I say, I love love! I’m obsessed with sorting through Valentine’s Day gift ideas, be they for your partner, your Galentine or (the person I’ll be shopping for!) yourself. So many people tend to make V-Day all about romantic relationships, but really, it’s about love—and whatever that means to you.

Of course, there are the obvious V-Day gifts: chocolates, flowers, teddy bears. But let’s be honest, we’re all a little sick of them! This year, I’m thinking more along the lines of sexy signature scents, charcuterie for your cutie and dried blooms that will last way longer than a dozen cheesy red roses.

To be clear, Valentine’s Day isn’t all about gifts. Write your partner or Galentine a letter and let them know how much they mean to you! Personal touches are what really make your romantic Valentine’s celebration one to remember, so don’t think you have to splurge to win over your boo. That said, if you do want to surprise them with a gift or two, the ones on this list are pretty damn good.

Read on for 22 gifts for your boyfriend, girlfriend, BFF or yourself. And if you’re single this year, please treat yourself! Self-love is perhaps the most important kind of love, so blast Hailee Steinfeld’s “Love Myself” and scroll through while you add to cart.

Something Special & Personalized

Give yourself enough time to order something personalized to your relationship, like this star map depicting the night sky the evening you first met, on your first date or when you had your first kiss. So cute and thoughtful—and if you live together, it’s a gift for you, too!

This Candle To Set The Mood

If your partner loves a specific smell, find a candle you know they’ll adore. Or, go for one like this one by Diptyque that smells like a bouquet of freshly-picked tuberose.

A Luxury Splurge

This year, treat your partner to a little something bougie! In my eyes, a designer cardholder is a great gift for anyone—it’s a fairly-affordable luxury option, they’ll use it every day and it just looks fancy. Only the best for your boo!

A Sexy Scent

Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry is such a great unisex fragrance, but any perfume or cologne you think your partner might like is a great Valentine’s Day gift idea. Don’t forget to spritz it on them before you get down and dirty so you can enjoy the scent, too!

This Game To Bring You Together

If you’ve never played Let’s f*cking Date by Serena Kerrigan with your partner, prepare for a night of open, honest communication like never before. And some fun, too!

Some Fancy Jewelry

If you aren’t ready for a diamond ring just yet, how about a gorgeous pair of lab diamond earrings? With Clarity has tons of lab diamond pieces that are just as sparkly (and far more affordable!) than the real thing. My advice? Skip the cheesy V-Day heart motifs and get something that aligns with the style of jewelry they actually like. This pair is so chic!

Let your bestie experience a facial from home with this innovative device from Geske that allows you to pair the facial scrubber to an app to get a professional level clean. Bonus points that it’s Galentine’s Pink!

A Set of Lacy Lingerie

This Only Hearts bralette is stunning but still comfy and low-key, meaning your BFF can wear it it every single day. Plus, if black isn’t your bestie’s go-to, it comes in three other colors and even has some matching undies.

A Dainty Hair Accessory

A pretty gift from Target that’s the definition of “bang for your buck,” this pretty pearl hair clip set retails for only $15. Just clip this pearl bauble on to elevate any ponytail or updo.

Some Bougie Makeup

These Fluffy Slippers

If you didn’t already buy your friend these cross band slippers at some point in quarantine, you owe it to her now to do so! Seriously, though—a chic fluffy slipper is a 2024 essential and this Halluci pair comes in 12 colors. This two-toned neutral option is my personal fave.

This Jewelry Tray

I have this and I can vouch that it looks fancy AF IRL! If your BFF is one of those girls who loves piling on chunky gold chains and cute rings, she’ll adore this dual-level display tray for showing off and storing her fave pieces.
