While you never need a special occasion to show your boo appreciation, the best Valentine’s Day gifts are welcome, nonetheless. Sure, birthdays and holidays like Christmas give you time to pause and shower your loved ones with stuff they need or want, but the tone of V-Day presents speak more to your love for your special someone. Though we’re still a month out from February 14, it’s always smart to start shopping early—especially if you have multiple valentines to please (bestie, husband, girlfriend, daughter, mom, you name it).
If you’re trying to find the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for the man or woman who already seems to have everything, surprise them with something they’d never expect. A personalized gift works well here, such as a map of the sky the night you met. You can always lean into the traditional picks associated with Cupid’s big day—lingerie, a bouquet, box of chocolate, jewelry, or sex toy that feel good for both parties. Pamper your significant other with cozy pajamas and a neck massager that brings the spa home, or add heat to date night with a risqué game of truth or dare. Want to show your BFF some big-time love? Opt for a theme-y gift like a heart-shaped spoon rest or silk pillowcase.
Below, you’ll find some of the very best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for all types of sweethearts (including great Valentine’s Day gifts for him, for her, and for Galentine’s Day, too).

Best Valentine’s Gifts for Her
We all know that person: the loved one who insists on skipping the consumer holiday but low-key expects a gesture anyway. For this valentine, may we suggest traditional faves like a towering bouquet of red roses from one of our go-to online flower delivery services, ultra-cozy slippers that look chic enough to wear out, or a glamorous silk robe. A cardigan embroidered with hearts is a sweet Valentine’s Day gift for her. To go the more meaningful route, order this poster customized with the starry sky on the night of a date important to you (like a wedding or the day you met). Need a Valentine’s Day gift for your daughter? Fill in this book of prompts that’ll say “I love you” in more ways than one. Here are a few of our favorite gifts for women.

Best Valentine’s Gifts for Him
A cutesy Valentine’s Day card with a love note tucked inside is always a winner, but the most unique gifts for men are ones that surprise. One of the top-selling presents that Glamour readers buy is this keychain that looks like a film roll but unspools to reveal a slideshow of the two of you. If he’s a little geeky, give him socks personalized with your face (or your child’s or pet’s). Or pick up a gift idea that’s as useful as it is intimate: warm, plushy slippers or a massage gun that relaxes and loosens him up for whatever activities you have planned later.

Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Husbands
We love a steamy surprise for hubbies—it is Valentine’s, after all. Some recommendations: a risqué version of truth or dare (hello, date night), candle that melts into massage oil, or a top-recommended sex toy for couples. Want a tamer present? This Armani men’s cologne is a coastal-scented classic. An insulated growler will keep his favorite beers fresh for days, while a ball trimmer will ensure his “lawn” is in order.

Is your best guy notoriously hard to shop for? Some of the greatest gifts for boyfriends for Valentine’s are those that give him moments of elevated self-care, such as a set of nourishing skin-care (a plus if you’re kissing his dry skin), super soft pajamas, or a heated neck massager that’ll knead any tension out of his shoulders. And if you’re looking to build intimacy or get to know him a bit better, a conversation card game for couples is sure to bring you closer together.
