The 45 Best Valentine's Day Gifts for All the Loves in Your Life (1)

However you spend the occasion, Valentine’s Day is a good reminder to celebrate love and acknowledge your special person or persons, whether that’s a family member, romantic partner, BFF, or someone else. One way to do so is through finding just the right gift for them based on their interests.

“Take the time to think about them,” says Jodi R.R. Smith, etiquette expert at Mannersmith. “What do they like to eat, read, listen to, watch, and do? Do they love tea or coffee? Then a cup or mug that reflects their personality with some teas or coffees is a great gift. Maybe they love history and your area has some guided historical tours, or they have never seen Casablanca, so you arrange a movie night with dinner themed to the film for them. The bottom line is Valentine’s Day is not a referendum on your relationship, but a chance to show the person you love that you care deeply about them.”

From date night meals and heart-shaped cookware to games and self-care items, here are the best Valentine’s Day gifts for all the loves in your life.

Questions You Might Ask

How much money should you spend on a Valentine’s Day gift?

This answer depends on several factors, namely your budget and your relationship to your giftee. If you want to give something special to your significant other you could spend upwards of $100 on a luxury gift, such as jewelry—though there are several places where you can buy affordable jewelry online. If you and your partner have an agreement to keep things casual, or if you’re shopping for a friend or family member, it’s fine to stay under $50.

“In the grand course of most relationships, the spending should reflect the amount of time together,” Smith says. “So, if you are a newer couple, you will want to keep your gifting budget a bit below what you would spend on a typical date night together. As your relationship progresses from weeks into months and years, your gifting budget should increase respectively.”

However, she cautions against breaking the bank for your sweetheart. “No matter the longevity of your relationship, you should avoid going into debt to give a Valentine’s Day gift,” she says.

Should you buy Valentine’s Day gifts for people other than your significant other?

With the popularity of Galentine’s Day and Palentine’s Day, celebrating Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be limited to your S.O. Smith says it's common for people to give Valentine’s Day gifts to parents, grandparents, siblings, offspring, pets, and friends. An adorable Valentine's Day gift for kids would no doubt delight any child in your life. But she mentions you should not be giving Valentine’s Days gifts to former partners or "anyone where the gifting would need to be kept secret from your current paramour."

So while it’s not mandatory to give your friends and fam V-Day gifts, it’s a nice gesture that they will definitely appreciatesuch as a thoughtful Galentine's Day gift for best girlfriends. If your workplace celebrates Valentine’s Day–which is uncommon but not unheard of—there tend to be very specific and non-romantic guidelines given, Smith says, so make sure you adhere to them. Gift baskets, for instance, are a safe bet.

Are chocolates and flowers good Valentine’s Day gifts?

“Chocolates and flowers are good gifts, but they are far from the only gifts,” Smith says. “People tend to default to chocolates and flowers as Valentine’s Day gifts because of marketing and because they work.” Chocolates and flowers will be appreciated by most giftees, but“the best gifts are tailored to the recipient,” Smith says. If you’re dead set of this classic gift combo, you may want to look into specialty chocolates with a unique flavor profile your partner loves, or opt for a bouquet of their favorite blooms. It also goes without saying that if your partner has an allergy to chocolates or flowers, you should scrap this gift idea altogether and go with something that’s better suited for them.
