You deserve an award if you already have your Valentine's Day gift wrapped and ready. And if you don't? There's no need to panic. The holiday may be inching closer, but there's still time to pick out a thoughtful, luxurious Valentine's Day gift for your loved one. After all, they deserve a better gift than grocery store flowers and chocolates. Whether you're shopping for your longtime sweetheart or finding something cute for your bestie, I worked to find you the best last-minute Valentine's Day gifts from around the internet.
I've rounded up some fashion, beauty, and home ideas that will impress your date and arrive on your doorstep at lightning speed. This list covers everything from cozy sweaters and trendy sneakers for fashion fans to luxury perfumes and gift sets for the beauty aficionado. I've even included classic Valentine's Day gifts like roses and candy, plus gift cards and Amazon gifts if you're really in a rush.
Before you head off to regift last year's unopened bath soaps, consult this list of the best-ever last-minute Valentine's Day gifts. Whichever item you choose, you can rest assured they will ship in a week or less.
Jenny Bird is one of my favorite affordable jewelry brands for everyday pieces with a twist. The brand can make something as simple as hearts look so cool.
This dry winter air is no joke, so don’t let your loved ones’ hands suffer. This set includes three cult-favorite hand creams in yummy scents—shea butter, almond, and lavender—so your giftee can have a lotion in every bag.
Tom Ford perfumes are peak luxury, so if you really want to impress, pick up one of the brand’s scents. My personal favorite is Lost Cherry, a dark, sensual take on cherry that grabs your attention.
You can never have too many sweaters in your winter wardrobe, especially when they are as cozy as this one. It's a fan favorite on Amazon, with over 3,000 shoppers rating it five stars.
No matter the person or occasion, Apple AirTags will forever be one of my go-to gifts. Everyone can benefit from adding one to their wallet, luggage, or keys.
Give them a moment of self-care with this journal. They can use it to check in with their goals, track their meals, set their intentions, and reflect on the day.
Whether or not they’re a master chef, they’ll appreciate this adorable baking dish, which they can make everything from desserts and casseroles to pot pies and gratins.
With solid 14k gold and glittering diamonds, this is a ring your recipient can wear every single day, so it’s a steal at $350. And whether they stack it or wear it on its own, it’ll look just as gorgeous.
Upgrade their beauty routine by gifting them a pure silk pillowcase. They will wake up to smoother hair that retains moisture throughout the night, and the smooth silk will help prevent wrinkles from forming while they sleep.
Roses will always be a classic Valentine’s Day gift, so you can’t go wrong with a few red stems on V-day. These roses are extra special as they are designed to last for up to a year.
Sure, you can gift a facial at a spa—or this $24 set can get their skin glowing from the comfort of their home. It includes Tata Harper’s best-selling Regenerating Cleanser and Resurfacing Mask, a winning combo that exfoliates, brightens, and refines pores for a glowy, fresh complexion.
When all else fails, a gift card is a safe gift. It might not be the most creative option on this list, but they can use it to buy anything their heart desires. It couldn't be easier to deliver, either—all you need is your recipient's phone number or email to send electronically.
Luxurious lipsticks are never a bad idea and Westman Atelier’s has one of Marie Claire’s favorite formulas on the market. These matte lipsticks are matte, yet hydrating and have a one-swipe color payoff.
Luxury candles are one of those no-fail gifts that work for anyone on your list. These Diptyque candles will especially wow your sweetheart thanks to their delectable and long-lasting scents.
These cups really are worth the hype—they can keep your drink cold for over seven hours, and there are so many pretty colors to choose from.
Cool white sneakers are a must-have in everyone's wardrobe, and this Cariuma pair is one of my favorites. They have a timeless, unisex silhouette and are comfortable enough to walk for miles.
Your giftee will have so much fun taking photos with this camera. With a click of a button, it creates a mini photo they can use as a keepsake.
This is a cashmere scarf they can wear repeatedly, and not just in the cold months, either. Its large size and lightweight yet ultra-soft feel make it the perfect travel companion on cold airplanes.
This magnetic phone charger will be a game changer to their home decor. You can charge both your phone and AirPods, plus it come in different colors and finishes to match your aesthetic. Say goodbye to pesky wires.
How adorable is this leather bag? The cheeky-shaped case is not only on theme but also practical. They can use it to store makeup, skincare, jewelry, tech accessories, or anything their heart desires—pun intended.
Gift your loved one a pair of silky pajamas that will have her looking and feeling her best. Choose from either a pale or Barbie pink—in either color, these PJs are simply adorable.
A cashmere beanie is one gift that they will keep forever. The trendy winter shade adds a fun pop of color to any look.
If your Valentine is a cinephile or enjoys a night at the movies, this is a no-brainer gift. With a Fandango gift card, they can score tickets to virtually any movie theater they want.
There's a reason this back massager went mega-viral on TikTok—it's perfect. They can use it to massage their back, shoulders, neck, and or waist to relieve tension.
For those who aren't a big fan of real flowers, this Lego set is perfect. It's also a great gift for couples as they can take the time to build it together.
If you can't get away from gifting chocolate, buy something from one of the best chocolate brands around. This Godiva box comes with 14 delectable treats and even a dark chocolate version if that suits your giftee's tastes.
Barefoot Dreams makes the comfiest, softest blankets I've ever had the pleasure of cuddling up in, so they're an obvious choice for anyone who enjoys a cozy gift.
My Alo Yoga Accolade loungewear set is hands-down the most worn in my extensive collection, so I'm willing to bet anyone will enjoy a hoodie from the line. The sizes come unisex, too, so you can gift it to anyone on your list.
