This year, Valentine’s Day lands less than a week after Super Bowl LIX, meaning it’s probably best to sort out a gift for your significant other before the big game.
That is, if you’re invested in both the outcome of the Chiefs v. Eagles rematch and the longevity of your relationship.
So, listen very carefully when I say this:
Women do not want a generic gift from the chain jewelry store at the mall from their boyfriends and husbands.
Not for Valentine’s Day, not at the holidays, not for her birthday, not for any special occasion! Okay, you get the point.
So now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk about the Valentine’s Day gift ideas women really want.
Personally, I would like my boyfriend to yell at a slightly lower decibel when playing Xbox after 10 p.m., but in lieu of that, a fun and romantic present will always be welcome.
And before you come for me…if you and your S.O. don’t want to do gifts because Valentine’s Day is a dumb corporate holiday invented to promote materialism, fine! And if you’re single, no worries! Here’s some stylish picks to treat yourself to this year.
But my love language after “Words Of Affirmation” is “Gift Giving,” so I’m all about showing affection with a little something special for my guy, and there’s nothing wrong with hoping for the same thought and intention in return.
Whew! Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Where was I?
If you are in need of a present, I’ve racked up a list of fool-proof gifts no matter your price point, all perfect for a very special V-Day.
Below, 12 stylish and thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her:
1. Stackable gold necklaces
There’s no such thing as a gold necklace that doesn’t fit. There’s also no such thing as too many to choose from. If your lady loves a layered look as much as the women of Team SG, any kind of chain or necklace will go over well.
Note: bracelets make a great, can’t-miss-on-the-fit gift, too!
2. A candle in her favorite scent
If you know your sweetie’s favorite scent, scooping her a candle in the same fragrance fam is a no-brainer. I’m extremely into Bond No. 9 right now after visiting the store recently on Team SG’s Taylor’s suggestion!

Ultimately, the best Valentine’s Day gifts are the ones that show you really know her. In this case, you’ll show you pay attention…all the way down to her beauty routine, and she’ll get an indulgent treat she may not otherwise splurge on. It’s a win-win!
3. Cozy robe
It’s 2025, so I don’t have to tell you we’ve moved beyond sexy lingerie for Valentine’s Day, right?
Instead, help your girl get cozy as hell on V-day with a soft, comfortable robe.
This Brooklinen robe, a collab with Kule gives “wrapped up in a cloud” vibes when wearing it, and really, what more could you want for your lady love?
Cozy socks are also always welcome, too!
4. Silk pillowcase
Help her banish bedhead with a silk pillowcase.
Heck, get yourself a matching one while you’re at it! You won’t believe how good your hair and skin look the next morning.
The prompts in this card deck are meant to help you and your S.O. connect with one another.
Great for spending quality time together when you’re done scrolling TikTok on the couch side by side.
The best gift you can get your partner that they may never ask for is a big ol’ bag.
This Madewell handbag comes in a bunch of colors, looks chic, and can be monogrammed for extra personalization.
7. Trendy new makeup or skincare products
Show her you listen when she tells you about what products are going viral on her TikTok feed.
This peptide lip shape set from Hailey Bieber’s beauty brand doesn’t even come out until January 30, so she’ll know you’re paying attention to the #beautytok she’s been influenced on.
8. A re-up of her favorite treat
Maybe your lady loves dark chocolate, or carries a beloved granola bar in every bag.
For me, there’s nothing more romantic my boyfriend could do than surprise me with a month’s supply of my favorite jerky snack sticks. Love is love!
9. Cozy (not sexy) pajamas
Remember what I said about not wanting heart-shaped jewelry for a Valentines gift? Stay with me here: that doesn’t apply to clothes.
There’s something sweet about an understated heart print, especially on cute and comfortable matching pajama set. Throw in some slippers or a blanket for a real 360 cozy experience.
10. A card you didn’t buy at the drugstore
You don’t have to break the bank on Valentine’s Day.
She’ll appreciate a cute card that you clearly didn’t get at the drugstore, especially if there’s a sweet, thoughtfully-considered message on the inside.
11. A coffee table book that shows you know her interests
Want to move away from clothes and accessories? A beautiful coffee table book always makes a great gift.
A tasteful tome on art, fashion, architecture…really anything she’s into…makes for a stylish, cool addition to her home that will look great on any book shelf or table.
Plus, it’s a great conversation piece. When you get sick of looking at the same four walls, you can dream about where you’d like to live next!
12. Cute shoes
If your love loves sneakers, consider gifting her a new pair, like this leopard print style, for V-Day.
