Valentine’s Day Gifts for Him
Valentine’s gifts for him are always tricky. There are gifts you can rely on (a nice pair of socks or a gift card to his favorite store), but really you should be excited about what you gift him—and so should he. If you want to broaden your selection of gifts for men, here are some options that are sure to wow him. These V-Day gifts for guys run the gamut. Here are a few standouts that you can give your boyfriend, husband, friend, or father, including everything from acupressure mat sets to subscriptions and experiential gifts (which are great for last-minute gifting) to handsome leather tech kits for all their cords to Apple AirPods to sex toys for men like a luxe couples’ sex toy (perfect for date night).

Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her
Here are some thoughtful Valentine’s gift ideas for her (read: not a teddy bear), whether she’s your wife, girlfriend, BFF, or mom. If you’re looking for relaxing gifts for the stressed-out partner, parent, or pal in your life, a weighted blanket, scented candle, editor-approved beauty product set, or a silky bath robe make lovely gifts for self-care and general coziness. If she’s a plant parent, then a sweet little houseplant like a heart-shaped Hoya or UrbanStems subscription could win her heart (even if you’re shopping at the 11th hour). Or, if accessories are her priority, give her a trendy hip bag or pair of sparkly stud earrings.

Make some “me” time and treat yourself to a relaxing manicure or long bath. If you want to read in the tub without getting your pages wet, add a water-resistant, editor-approved Kindle to your cart. While you’re there, throw in a plush robe, SELF Fave vibrator, and a luxurious silk pillowcase for a night in. (Then consider adding a sunrise clock and bidet too, to help you greet the morning in style.)
