Though not everyone’s love language is gift giving, when it comes to showing appreciation on February 14, the best Valentine’s gifts are welcome tokens of affection no matter how long your love has been blooming.
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Valentine’s Gifts for Her:
From updates on the classics to special treasures that will last your sweetheart forever, there’s something special for every price point and personality. Maybe you’re looking to splurge on your significant other, or perhaps you’re shopping for little something for your sister, mother, or Galentines. From handwritten notes on elegant Jaymes Paper stationery to a home delivery of fresh blooms and jewelry she’ll cherish for years to come, we’ve thought of the perfect present for any and every Valentine on your list. Spread the love this year, with our edit of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for her, him, or whoever you might have the hots for, below.
Gifts for the Romantics at Heart
The original (and we might argue, the best) Valentine’s day gifts for her include a lush bouquet of flowers and some hand-written snail mail—we’re partial to Urbanstems’s bouquet and Jaymes Paper’s sweet, yet thoughtful cards, which have just the right amount of heft. For a gift for your forever sweetheart, Trove’s handmade enamel jewelry box, Olympia Le Tan’s ‘Love You the Most’ clutch, and Aerin’s heart-shaped frame will instantly delight.
Will You Be Mine Beauty
If your holiday gift didn’t quite land (it happens!), you’ll win her over with an LED face mask or Dyson’s coveted Airwrap. Small additions to her beauty cabinet can be found from Rhode, Chanel, Hermès, La Mer, and Gucci. And if you’re unsure of where your relationship stands but you don’t want to gloss over the date, Narciso Rodriguez’s slightly seductive scent will certainly set the tone for the evening ahead.
Lust-Worthy Loungewear
Whether she prefers to relax in sumptuous silk or luxurious cashmere, she’ll be sure to fall for elegant options from Araks, Lunya, Olivia von Halle, and Comme Si.
Jewelry That Charms
Be it a custom necklace—with their initials or star sign—glittering diamond pinky ring, or dainty tennis bracelet, we’re crushing on the kinds of jewels that are as lovable as they are personal.
Elevated Edible Arrangements
If sweet treats are their love language, surprise your crush with a box of truffles or macaroons. Flamingo Estate’s gift boxes are an experience unto themselves, as is Burdick’s box of chocolates—you never know which one you’re going to get. I, for one, hope my first pick is the lavender and Earl Grey combination. You can also spoil your favorite sweet-tooth with Empire Cake’s festive heart-shaped cookie assortment. Lastly, for decadence à deux, a tin of caviar is the move—just don’t forget the mother of pearl spoons!
But First, Self-Love
You can’t find love until you first love yourself, so the story goes. Start your mornings off strong with Fellow’s at-home matcha set, then come evening, draw a warm bath to fill with Santa Maria Novella’s bath salts. Continue your reset with a body scrub followed up by a luxe oil, from Jenni Kayne Brazil and Chel, then make space for new thoughts by jotting old ones down in a fresh journal—we love Dear Annabelle’s. Keep track of your self-care journey beyond February 14 with Oura’s newest ring or perhaps go literal with a new pair of Hoka sneakers.
Luxuries She’ll Love
The category is: What she really wants. If she aims high, start with a Cartier watch—what better way to commemorate the time you’ve shared? Cartier’s new Tank is the tiniest version of original, but just as timeless and coveted. Work your way down to one of the season’s top-shopped bags from Savette or Gucci—or consider a more seasonally-appropriate accessory, like Nour Hammour’s luxe leather gloves or Chloé’s polka-dot-print silk scarf. If the promise of new shoes is what makes her heart beat faster than seeing you, then she’ll adore Saint Laurent’s rose-adorned heels in a thematic red, or Khaite’s zebra-print calf-hair flats—perfect for the date night you have planned.
