Let’s be real: Finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your S.O., your bestie, or even your mom (she deserves to be spoiled too!) is an exhausting process. And while it’s always nice to gift someone a single item they’ll fawn over, there are other ways to spoil everyone in your life this V-Day that’ll have them feeling oh-so-special. Enter: gift baskets.
Before you roll your eyes, though, let me ensure you that a gift basket isn’t just a random assortment of picks from a random discount section bundled together as a last-minute present (although if you can make that into an elegant V-Day gift, more power to you). Rather, Valentine’s Day gift baskets are bundles and boxes filled to the brim with prezzies anyone would love—whether they need a lil relaxation or love a good co*cktail. Sure, there’s always the option of doing a DIY gift basket for that extra-special personal touch. But honestly, that can be pretty time-consuming if you have to go around to a bunch of different places to find the things you need. These V-Day gift boxes already come preassembled and packed with what you need to make the holiday memorable.
Bonus: Gift baskets work great even if you’ve been dating someone for only a short amount of time (!). They’re thoughtful and personal without going overboard, which is a major win. And seriously, who wouldn’t want to get a basket or box full of their fave goodies? So go ahead and treat everyone you know (and especially those close to ya) to these 20 Valentine’s Day gift baskets, below.
