Valentine's Day is right around the corner, which means time is running out to find unique last-minute gifts that send the right message. Not to mention: translating the love languages of your nearest and dearest can be a challenge.

Luckily, we're here to help. Scroll to explore our best gift ideas for even the pickiest valentine in your life — including you — from thoughtful home upgrades to romantic surprises that make for a most memorable date night.

The Hopeless Romantic

Keep it sweet or bring on the spice. There are a few ways to go about creating the ultimate date night of course, but start by choosing a theme.

If cozy is your speed: light a few candles, lay out a soft throw blanket, surprise your partner with the comfiest slippers and robe, then get ready for a night in. (If you’re a fan of We’re Not Really Strangers, you’ll love this romantic game!)

If intimate is what you’re after, go all out with flowers and luxe lingerie to get in the mood. Experiment with toys and intimate essentials — if not now, when?

The Style Icon

If your partner loves any excuse to dress up or is a style icon in their own right, don’t just show up with dinner reservations — take it one step further and surprise them with that special piece they’ve been eyeing. To love someone is to know the details that matter, after all. Like: which size purse they prefer, or when it comes to jewelry: whether they’re team gold or silver.

The Home Chef

If your valentine loves to tap into their inner chef, set them up for a stylishly foodie-focused year ahead. A sleek espresso machine and matching frother double as utility and statement pieces — as does a state-of-the-art air fryer.

Or, curate a custom gift basket with cookware, kitchen gadgets and recipe books you know they’ll love. It’ll show them you’ve been listening all year long.

The Tech-Obsessed Traveler

Whether they travel for work or pleasure, outfitting your valentine with these essentials will have them feeling the love at thirty-thousand feet. Help them pack smarter with a suitcase that features built-in organization — or replace their well-loved carry-on with this versatile backpack. A waterproof laptop bag that’s as stylish as it is functional is a game-changer for the frequent flyer, too; we love the timelessness of this Scandi-minimalist aesthetic.

And if they’ve got their in-flight essentials down, go the sentimental route. Splurge on a camera to document new memories.
