"I can see people intertwining a sense of self-love within gift giving," says Bosco about this year's Valentine's Day shopping. "It's really nice to see because these types of gifts give more than just the item, they give a mood and experience that can keep on giving!"
Bosco has noticed some distinct Valentine's Day shopping trends. "We're seeing lots of uplifting gifts from friends and family in the mix that lean toward self-care and beauty products such as face masks, lipsticks, mini perfume kits and even fitness accessories," she says. "We've also noticed a rise in home details, such as candles and coffee table books." As for big-ticket items, jewelry, robes and handbag purchases are also gaining popularity."
Whether you're in line with trends, or just going for a sentimental or classic Valentine's Day gift ideas, you'll find the perfect present here.
Even the names of these Love Potion truffles are romantic: The Gatsby (Grand Cuvee Champagne, Dianthus petal and dark chocolate) and Daisy (white chocolate, Piper Heidsieck Rose Sauvage and rose water). But they don't have to go to a love interest!
"I love this for someone you want to gift something small to, like a bestie or sister," remarks Bosco. Inside the hot pink Vosges box, you'll find three of each type of truffle to devour this Valentine's Day. And they taste just as good as they look! "These are magnificent truffles," raved one satisfied customer on the Vosges site. "The dark chocolate is rich, the texture of the ganache is perfect, not too heavy. And you can really taste the champagne."
Vosges recommends you eat each truffle in two bites. The first bite introduces you and the second immerses you in the chocolate. Sounds good to us!
Target does it again! Its popular Sugarfix By BaubleBar collection contains quite a few pairs of Valentine's Day-themed earrings, including this sparkly pair. The nickel-free Follow Your Heart style is bursting with glittery glass stones. They're equally at home on date night or girls' night, so these earrings make a fabulous Galentine's Day gift!
A robe is always a great Valentine's Day gift, and this one from Uncommon Goods is extra special because it's bedecked with your gal's birth flower. Watercolor florals by artist Juliet Meeks adorn 12 different Tencel prints. From poppies to cosmos, pick the robe that corresponds to her birth month and you have a unique — and useful — gift. Available in two sizes, XS/S and M/L, the Birth Month Flower Robe comes in a cloth gift bag. Looking for a little something extra? Add the matching lounge pants. As one gift giver wrote, "If I had more than one wife, I'd buy one for each!"
If you cook a Valentine's dish in this sturdy cast iron cookware it counts as two gifts! The home chef in your life will love this Le Creuset classic, a 2.25-qt enameled delight. Bust this baby out for an anniversary or any romantic night in. Made in France, the Dutch Oven is easy to clean, and it's safe in the freezer, dishwasher and oven ( to 500 degrees).
"This bouquet is super uplifting!" says Bosco. Blooming with roses, Ruscus, Hypericum Berries, and Cocculus, the Verona bouquet is indeed a pick-me-up. And to add extra romance, it's named after the city where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet takes place. Add a vase for an extra $12 to $30 or even send candy or snacks with your package thanks to Urban Stems' convenient ordering options. As for size, go with the classic for $68, or bump up to double ($129) or triple ($184) size, depending on your budget.
If she's into makeup then she'll dig this cool Givenchy lipstick that changes depending on who wears it. All she needs to do is swipe it on to reveal the perfect color based on her unique pH level and skin tone. Cool, right? Givenchy's Black Magic produces a high-shine berry color no matter whose lips it glides onto, but the shade depends on the individual. Even better, this buildable lip color isn't sticky.
Our in-depth review notes, "The chameleonic lipstick is imbued with all-natural, ultra-hydrating rose hip oil for plumpness and shine — no stickiness in sight. That’s why the company boasts that it’s 'a lip treatment in lipstick form.'"
Mist this hit product on dry skin after washing to give it a replenished glow. Honey, pink yeast filtrate, chlorella, kelp, apricot and cucumber extracts, EGCG and ceramides are just some of the ingredients in Pink Drink's winning hydration. If your sweetheart knows skincare, she probably knows beloved Sunday Riley products. "I like how this feels," comments one QVC fan. "I like that it lets my other serums and moisturizers soak in better and preps the skin." This little pink bottle will win points on Valentine's Day!
Chilly February is perfect slipper weather. Grab her this adorable pink pair and warm your valentine's heart (and feet). The pink Dearfoams boast a comfy, memory foam insole and fluff for days! Available in small ( 5-6), medium (7-8), large (9-10), and extra-large (11-12) sizes. These tend to sell out quickly so buy yours ASAP.
This gold bracelet is definitely a solid pick — who wouldn't love those tiny hearts? This gold vermeil (a sterling silver base coated in 24k gold) is an affordable yet special option for your loved one at $145, but if you want to splurge, it's also available in 14k yellow, rose or white gold for $1,075.
"My mom loved it!" proclaimed one happy buyer. "It's a great piece that can be worn alone or stacked with other bracelets. It's a great gift for someone who has everything :)" We agree.
Wireless chargers FTW! If your lady doesn't have one yet, this gift is a great pick. She can simply set her phone on the stone and it'll charge — at a speed of up to 10W for compatible devices. Choose from eye-catching travertine limestone or black marble.
"My first wireless charger. It works great and looks a lot better than all of the other basic ones," gushed one Amazon customer. "The style points mean a lot!"
Forget that scratchy, synthetic lingerie this Valentine's Day. Women want soft, breathable cotton! Bonus: Pact's briefs are Fair Trade compliant and eco-friendly. Now that's sexy. And comfort doesn't have to mean frumpy; Pact's High Cut Briefs are on-trend and "cheeky." Pick a fuchsia leopard or red floral pair, especially for Valentine's Day. "Cute, comfy, flattering," wrote a happy Pact customer. "These underwear check all the boxes."
Just the right size to hold all her accessories, Kate Spade's Love Shack Heart Purse is the ultimate valentine for the bag aficionado. "I love carrying this fun bag!" said one fan. "Roomy enough for my phone, credit card (has a built-in card holder), lip gloss, key fob and compact. I get so many compliments. Excellent quality. Definitely recommend." The only decision is whether to go with the red or the pink!
Start conversations and dive in with your date with 400 Let's Get Deep cards. There are three levels of intimacy: Ice Breaker, Deep and Deeper cards so you can cover all the bases. For two or more adult players. "This is fun because it encourages bonding and something to do on a night in," says Bosco of this Valentine's Day gift idea. Let's Get Deep is a gift and a date night all in one — what a great value!
If your Valentine hasn't tried Rothy's yet, we suggest these flats. And if she has a pair already, then she probably loves them so it's still a great idea! Especially in the comfort shoe brand's latest color, Bright Red.
These bad boys have over 26,000 great reviews like this one: "Best shoes ever. So many compliments." She continued: "I knew about the quality of the Rothy’s shoes but let me tell you how chic they are. If you are like me, you wouldn’t want to compromise your style for comfort. Well, with these shoes, you don’t have to."
Add some luxury to her nighttime routine with this popular satin sleep set. Customers are loving the satin pillowcase, eye mask, and scrunchie. "They're incredibly soft and silky, the fabric feels so nice on my skin! They stay cool which is nice on warm nights," writes one Walmart buyer.
Did you know that satin pillowcases are great for hair? "I honestly feel like the pillowcase and has made my hair so much softer and less tangled, and my skin is so much clearer as well," raves another Kitsch fan.
If you'd love to gift your lady some jewelry this Valentine's Day but don't have deep pockets, take a look at this JTV piece. Pink Morganite simulate and cubic zirconia have all the bling of their pricier counterparts at a fraction of the cost. The band is 18k rose gold over sterling silver, another cost-saving feature. The ring is a top-rated product at JTV, as evidenced by this customer's review: "I love it! After 46 years of marriage, I finally found the perfect engagement ring," she wrote. "So pretty and delicate, but with a large Morganite solitaire. Simply gorgeous!"
You've got to feel these dreamy pajamas to believe them! Made from 100% silk, which is naturally moisture-wicking and hypoallergenic, this gorgeous charmeuse is also certified as free from harmful chemicals. If you want to add an extra special touch, monogramming can be added for an additional $25. Available in navy, violet, and white, pajama sizes range from XS to XXL.
"I wear it to walk my dog because it is so pretty," said one five-star reviewer. Hot tip: Use code VDAY12 for 12% off orders of $350 or more.
The lips get a lot of attention on Valentine's Day — rightly so! Give the gift of TLC with St. Ives' new Juicy Watermelon Lip Scrub. It smoothes and soothes dry, chapped lips so your valentine can pucker up with pride. Made from 100% natural sugar, this lip scrub exfoliates and moisturizes with antioxidants and vitamins. And the price point means you can gift the whole gang! Bonus: it leaves behind a hint of pink, making lips appear naturally flushed.
These soothing eye stones are truly amazing at refreshing tired eyes, thanks to ancient Finnish stone. The cool rings provide instant relief for allergies, screen strain, or general puffiness. Orbits Eye Stones make a unique gift for anyone on your list this year, especially anyone who could use some self-care.
"These are absolutely amazing. Bought them on a whim for myself and two friends we all love them," wrote one Uncommon Goods reviewer. "Almost instantly receives eye strain and headaches. They don't really stay in my eyeballs but I just hold them and it's fine. We all really love them."
Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk lipstick has swept the globe thanks to its universally-flattering pink hues. This set features travel sizes of a lip liner, lipstick and eyeliner, plus a full-size Eyes to Mesmerize Cream Eyeshadow. If she already has Pillow Talk, she's sure to love this set that she can take on the go. If she hasn't tried Pillow Talk, even better!
She'll likely be as delighted by your on-trend pick as this Sephora fan: "I don't know how it took me so long to purchase this. I was not a lipstick girl and now I can't live without this lip pencil and lipstick combo. Beautiful natural color!"
Your favorite woman can get in the mood for love with Olive & June's heart-themed nail set. The Instant Mani includes 42 nails in 21 sizes so she can get the exact right fit. Non-toxic and non-damaging (but very effective) glue helps the set stay put for up to seven days. Bonus: the nails are Made from 94% post-consumer recycled materials.
The cheery red and pink design on this Loft case will put a smile on your valentine's face every time she puts her sunglasses away. And the 7 1/2-inch x 4-inch zip pouch is also great for carrying other little everyday items like chapstick and credit cards. Overall, it's a great price and a fun gift item.
Everyone loves a personalized gift: it shows you were thinking of the recipient. This 9-ounce natural soy wax blend candle will burn for up to 50 hours. Choose the names and font for the label, and opt for her favorite scent for a sentimental gift. Options include Apple Harvest, Cinnamon Vanilla, Clean Cotton, Sea Salt + Orchid, or White Sage + Lavender.
This sweet pink notebook checks all the boxes: convenient, useful, and adorable. "This is a great one and it would be fun to include some writing prompts in a card with it," says shopping expert Bosco. The notebook features 160 interior pages and gold wire-o binding to ensure it lays open flat. Bonus: If your lady's a lefty you can opt for left-handed orientation! Coral ink letterpressed Name, Date, and Subject lines on the cover keep things organized. And while you're visiting Shorthand Press, check out their awesome selection of romantic cards.
The white anatomical heart design is subtle enough to display all year, but this resin vase is the perfect place to display Valentine's Day flowers. If your special someone enjoys fresh flowers — who doesn't? — or decorating for holidays, this makes a lovely gift. Measuring 6.3 inches tall it's a festive accent piece for a mantle, table, shelf, or desk.
