Valentine’s Day can be a minefield for gifts that totally miss the mark with a significant other — but it doesn’t have to be. We’ve combed the gifting landscape and found 25 Valentine’s Day gifts for her that your wife, girlfriend, partner, (er, mom?) will actually like.
And we don’t mean she’ll smile and say thanks, only to throw whatever it is in a pile and never think about it again (unless it’s to consider what a subpar present it was). We mean she’ll delight in a truly premium blanket to cuddle up with on chilly afternoons. She’ll wear the hell out of trendy new sneaks and a Valentine’s Day-inspired sweater that’s not too, you know, Valentine’s Day-y. She’ll need this iPad to watch all the content if TikTok shuts down again!
Below, you’ll find tech gifts that she’ll find useful, themed gifts that are just the right amount of saccharine, and personalized presents she’ll want to keep for years to come. Remember: Finding a Valentine’s Day gift for her doesn’t have to be hard, you just need a friend with the right suggestions. We’re that friend.
Level Up Her Ice Cream Game
Ninja® CREAMi® 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker
Ninja has created a number of excellent countertop appliances over the years (we’re big fans of the underrated Foodi Air Fry Oven), but the Creami has to be one of its most viral sensations. The TikTok-famous ice cream maker for dummies — no offense, literally anyone could make ice cream with this things — is rarely on sale because it’s so popular. Getting one of these bad boys might cool down the steamiest day of the year, but in this case, that’s a good thing.
Cut Her Blowout Time in Half
Shark® FlexFusion™ Air & Ceramic System with Air Straightener
A good hair dryer is expensive; a great hair dryer is even more expensive and probably something she wouldn’t want to buy for herself. Shark’s FlexFusion system comes with a hair dryer, curling barrels, and a straightener, which means you’d essentially be revamping her entire hair drawer. (Yes, the “hair drawer” is a thing.)
For the Casually Cool Girl
adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor
This triple-striped sneaker is modern, yet evocative of the ’70s style that’s back in fashion in 2025. The pink color is a nod to Valentine’s Day, but if you can’t see her sporting the hue, go for one of the other dozen color combos available.
For the Pizza Lover
Ooni Koda 2 Max Gas Powered Pizza Oven
Ooni’s game-changing personal pizza ovens have a devoted following for a reason: they’re the best on the market. The Koda 2 Max is one of the largest models available, meaning she can make two pizzas at once or even toss a side dish in while cooking a pizza. It’s ideal for the couple who host dinner parties or have small kids who need their cheese pizzas five minutes ago.
For the Sports Fan
Women’s Team Logo Victory Script Pullover Hoodie
Look, we’re not saying she needs to support the Kansas City Chiefs because a certain über-famous pop star has made them the team du jour. We just love the soft cotton-poly blend of this sweatshirt from Fanatics. Shop by whatever team she supports, whether they’re in the NFL, NHL, or heck, even Nascar.
Best for the Athlete
ClassPass Gift Card
Has she been mulling over a switch from barre to pilates? Has she passed a hot yoga studio and mused about trying it out? Gift her a ClassPass card, which will allow her to dip her toe into whatever new exercise she’s considering, without feeling like she’s investing too much.
Best for the Wine Connoisseur
Geoffrey Zakarian-Curated Wine Subscription
Did you know QVC does wine subscriptions? You learn something new every day. Choose from a single shipment of three bottles or an automatic delivery of Zinfandels hand-selected by chef and restauranteur Geoffrey Zakarian.
For the Seasonal Sweater Fan
Language of Love Amour Sweater
For the woman who loves a bit of seasonal swag, may we suggest this sweet sweater? The cotton blend is cozy and though it’s perfect for the holiday, it’s also just a cute sweater to wear any time of year. (No one wants to wear a sweatshirt emblazoned with “I HEART VALENTINE’S DAY” in June.)
If She Needs Some Peace and Quiet
JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition ANC Over-Ear Headphones
Is she living on the cutting edge of technology? Audiophile-fav brand JLab just revealed these sleek Epic Lux Lab Edition wireless headphones during CES 2025. In addition to the regular features —Bluetooth Multipoint, Google Fast Pair, and Find My Device functionality, adaptive noise canceling, etc. — these boast up to 90 hours of battery life. If your household includes small children, these will give her some much-needed peace and quiet.
If She Still Doesn’t Have an iPad
Apple iPad Air 11-inch
We’ve tested all the most popular tablets, and we’re still convinced the Apple iPad Air is the best of the bunch. It’s lightweight, has huge power reserves, and it’s ideal for casual use. Even if she says she’s good with just a phone or a laptop, she might find herself using an iPad way more than she anticipates for videos, recipes, and fitness apps.
If She’s in Her Hydration Era
BrüMate Era 40 oz Tumbler with Handle and Straw
Water bottle brands are the new sports teams. People like what they like, and they want to convince you to like it, too. But guess what? I don’t have to sell you on Brümate’s Era tumbler — it simply is the best. It’s leakproof, has a straw that’s metal on the bottom but plastic on the top (because no one likes to drink from a metal straw), keeps drinks cold for 24 hours, and can be tossed in the dishwasher. It fits into cupholders and comes in a truckload of colors, including this guava number.
If She’s a Bit Cheeky
“Nobody Is Perfect” Pillow by Furbish
Furbish’s needlepoint pillows are all the rage for those with a particularly dry sense of humor. This one works well for Valentine’s Day — because she’s perfect, natch — but there are a ton of options. Perhaps, “I Want to Be Where the People Aren’t” is more her speed?
For the Cozy Boo
Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Blanket
Shameless plug: I got my mom this blanket for Christmas and you’ve never seen a happier 65-year-old woman. She’s a fancy lady (you know the type), and even she was impressed by how soft this bubble blanket is. She says it feels like a cat, which, in this context, is a major compliment. It comes in four colors and two sizes, and the only catch is that it tends to sell out, so buy it while you can get it.
If She’s the Chef in Your House
Sauz Hot Honey Marinara Sweet and Spicy Tomato Sauce
Hot Honey Marinara for your hot honey, amirite? Seriously, get yourself to Costco and get several jars of this. Don’t tell Rao’s, but this has become my go-to marinara for spaghetti night. It’s not regular spaghetti sauce, it’s cool spaghetti sauce. Bonus points if you use it to make her a classy dinner on Valentine’s Day.
For a Personal Touch
Custom Line Drawing Poster
If you want to get an personal print but don’t have an artistic bone in your body, turn to Amazon. You can get a customized line drawing for as little as $14 in under five days. You upload the inspiration artwork and the text, and the vendor does the rest. Piece of cake!
The Classic Choice
1-800-Flowers Two Dozen Red Roses
Stumped? Unless she’s specified that she’s “not really the flowers type,” flowers are always a good option. 1-800-Flowers.com has endless options, including the classic bouquet (or double bouquet) of red roses.
For the Sweet Tooth
Dylan’s Candy Bar Beautifully Blushed Tackle Box
NYC-based sweet shop Dylan’s Candy Bar is known for its colorful tackle boxes, and they happen to have an adorable collaboration with LoveShackFancy in honor of Valentine’s Day. If she’s a sweet tooth, or even better, a sour tooth, she’ll love this gummy-filled set.
For Cozy Movie Nights
LoveSac SuperSac Insert & Cover
Encourage some cuddles with the SuperSac, the beanbag chair for grown-ups. This is the perfect size for two adults cozying up to watch a movie, but it’s just one of five sizes ranging from the CitySac (for one adult) to The BigOne (for four adults). You can design your own on the site and while they’re expensive, LoveSac frequently runs sales. Technically this is a Valentine’s Day gift for her, but it’s also for you.
The Gift of Relaxation
Spafinder Gift Card
If you know she’s a spa queen but you don’t know exactly what treatment she’d like, go for a Spafinder gift card. They work with thousands of spas and independent estheticians across the country — meaning if you’re near a major city, she’ll have plenty of options — and even provide special offers for those using the card.
For a Cute Accent
Kiss Me Embroidered Ruffle Heart Throw Pillow
If she grew up in the ’90s, there’s a solid chance she had some variation of this hear-shaped pillow on her childhood bed. Give her a throwback with this version from UO Home, which includes a candy heart-classic phrase: “Kiss me.”
A Simple Jewelry Gift
Blue Nile Lab Grown Diamond Pendant
Go lab grown with a simple solitaire necklace from Blue Nile. Even if she doesn’t wear a ton of jewelry, this is a staple piece perfect for daily use. Dare we say it might become a part of her signature look?
If She’s a Pop Culture Fan
Doan’s Bakery White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake
This is the cake for people who know about The Cake. The coconut bundt cake from Doan’s is famous for being the gift that a certain A-lister sends to his favorite costars. If she has movie or pop culture podcasts on her rotation, she’ll know exactly how special this gift is.
To Spice Up Date Night
Personalized Couples Home Date Night Dispenser
You can always count on Etsy for outside-the-box gifts! This customized dispenser will supply you both with date ideas for months to come, and the best part is that you won’t have to leave home for any of them. (Who wants to go outside, anyway?)
A Unique Gift
Personalized Cocktail Napkins
Disposable cocktail napkins are so 2024. For a Valentine’s Day gift for her that she’ll use over and over, get these customized cotton ones embroidered with her initial. Lest you think they’re too girly, you can pick from dozens of colors and fonts — just check out the Etsy listing to see how many possibilities there are.
