37 Thoughtful & Romantic Valentines Day Gifts for Her [2025 Edition]
Valentine’s Day 2025 is fast approaching and I salute you for thinking ahead. I’m sure you are wondering what (besides chocolates and flowers) you can give her to show her you truly care, and put some thought into this year’s gift.
I remember having slight anxiety around early February because I had no idea what to get beyond the typical Valentines day gift. It’s a little easier when you’ve known someone for a longer period. Even so, it can be a challenge to find that special gift to leave a lasting impression.
More than the material gift itself, most women want to know that you love and care for them. The Valentine’s Day gifts that stand out most in my mind are the ones that someone put real thought into. Even a handwritten note or special card can be a very cherished keepsake.
As much as last-minute shopping can get the job done, it can take a little thought and research to come up with a truly unique gift that she will love. Valentine’s Day can be done completely online if you get ahead of shipping times.
Luckily, you’re just in time to do that. If you’ve been out of ideas beyond Ferrero Rochers, a bottle of wine and red roses, or a teddy bear, I’m here for you. I’ve been scouring some of my favorite online places for gift ideas that I’m certain most women would love to receive. Here are my top ten picks for this year for Valentine’s gifts for her.
Guide to Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her
Solid Gold XO (Hugs and Kisses) earrings
A set of stud earrings is almost always a safe bet (unless they don’t have their ears pierced – be sure to check on that!).
We fell in love with these tiny treasures the moment we saw them!
These sweet earrings are just the right size to wear for special occasions or day-to-day. At just 4mm, they sit perfectly on the ear without overwhelming it.
What really caught our eye was how each XO is carefully handforged – these aren’t mass-produced pieces coming off an assembly line.
You can choose between brushed or polished finish, and pick from yellow, rose, or white gold in different karats.
Infinity Heart Pendant
Another jewelry piece that made our list this year is this sterling silver heart-shaped pendant necklace by Blue Nile. I have a similar chain and heart pendant that I’ve worn around my neck for years and only take off to swim. This versatile little necklace will layer well with other chains and at 16-18” is the perfect length for almost any neckline. And bonus: it’s engravable! Most importantly, it will be a wonderful reminder of your connection and how much you love her.
Personalized Bracelet
A personalized gift idea is sure to make her swoon. For a romantic gift, come up with a super personal and thoughtful message to engrave on the disc pendant of this bangle bracelet. Practice until you’ve perfected your handwriting, then send a photo of your carefully scribed message to the shop and they’ll transform it into an enduring sign of your love.
This bangle would work equally well alone or paired with other bangles. Choose between gold, rose gold, and silver, and select the number of pendants you want to include (1 to 5). Multiple pendants are perfect if you want to gift messages of love from everyone in the family, or if you just have a lot of lovely things to tell her!
Personalized Travel Jewelry Case
This jewellery case is proof positive that a practical gift can still be a pretty one!
Whether they venture out into the wide world immediately or hang around home for a while, a jewelry case is a must-have organizer.
This small, zippable case is perfect for the lady that travels often and likes to do so in style. I can also see it being super handy for those days when you plan to go directly from the office to a fancy dinner. It’ll keep all of her valuable jewelry pieces organized and untangled, and you can have her initials monogrammed right on it to make it extra special.
Personalize it with her initials or yours and hers with a heart symbol in between. D’awww.
Of course, we hope it goes without saying that your lady will be especially pleased if the case contains a new piece of jewelry! It doesn’t have to break the bank, it just has to be thoughtful.
“I Love You Because” Wooden Box
A wooden box for the hopeless romantics. Who wouldn’t appreciate a gift with this much time and thought put into it?
This handmade box contains 52 heart-shaped wooden tags on which you can declare your love for them. Think of it as a love advent calendar – they will have one to read for each week of the coming year. Choose to engrave your initials and write your messages or have them engraved by the professionals.
Date Night Box
Been together for a while and out of creative date night ideas? Can’t hit the town for date night due to a pandemic?
After a little while together, coming up with creative date night ideas can get challenging. And isn’t it oh-so-tempting to just proclaim ‘Netflix and Chill’ to be your go-to date night?
Well, the folks at Crated with Love have an even better solution to the ‘date night conundrum’ – their Date Night Box!
Crated With Love company is owned and operated by a married couple that wanted to get couples talking and interacting in an easy and fun way. Their Date Night Box does just that, offering up themed date night adventures that you can do at home with no pre-planning required.
Their boxes offer up themed date night adventures that you can do at home with no pre-planning required. Zombie Apocalypse, Escape from the Howling Hotel, Retro Game Show, Disrupting Unicorns….. these are just a few of the amazing themes the folks at Crated with Love have conjured up for your date night fun!
I highly recommend signing up for the monthly box subscription (ummm, hello, neither of you will ever have to worry about planning date night again!), but you can also test the waters by gifting him a one-off box. Importantly, you can cancel at any time if you sign up for the monthly subscription.
Trendy Perfume
Perfume is romance in a bottle! As long as she’s not sensitive to scents, your lady is bound to love the gift of a beautiful scent.
Now here’s where it’s important that you know her well. Every woman’s perfume tastes vary, hence the wide selection of scents with floral, fresh, or warm and spicy notes. If she has a collection of perfumes, take a peek (or, more accurately, give them a sniff) and you’ll have a good foundation for choosing a scent she’ll love.
Of course, you could also play it safe and gift her a replacement bottle of her favorite perfume, but where’s the fun in that?
For what it’s worth, one of my absolute favourite perfumes is Idole by Lancome. I love a subtle-yet-sweet floral scent and Idole hits it on the nose.
If you don’t know where to start, just get whatever is trending!

Flower Subscription
Yes, flowers can be a cliche gift, but hear us out! We fell in love with BloomsyBox because they’ve totally reinvented the traditional bouquet experience.
Instead of a one-and-done gift that wilts in a week, this is the gift that keeps on giving.
We love how customizable everything is. Whether you want weekly deliveries for a flower enthusiast or monthly surprises for someone who appreciates an occasional bloom, there’s a plan that fits. Plus, with options like pet-safe flowers and specialty collections starting at just $39.99, you can really tailor the gift to her lifestyle.
Bathtub Caddy
There’s nothing like a long soak in the tub.
Does your gal love soaking in the bath and going for spa treatments?
Bubbly bliss can easily be broken by having to get out of the tub to change the song on your phone, pour another glass of wine, or try to figure out how to prop your book up so you can read it without having to expose your body to the cold air.
This adjustable-width bath caddy is the answer to all soapy prayers – keeping all items free from foam and soggy edges. It is both functional and fashionable!
Add a couple of fluffy towels, bath bombs, and maybe a book or two. Or, skip the books and include a bottle of wine and a unique wine goblet – don’t worry, the caddy has a wine glass holder. It must have been designed by a woman!
Microwaveable Foot Warmers
We love how versatile these foot warmers are! Not only do they warm your feet, but they can be rolled into a neck pillow or used anywhere you need soothing heat therapy. The cordless design means you can safely drift off to sleep without worrying about cords or auto-shutoff timers.
Simply warm them up in the microwave and slip them on for toasty toes and feet!
Perfect for cold winter mornings and nights curled up on the couch. Will they ever want to take them off? Except, you know, to wash them, of course!
Luxury Candle
A candle is a gift that just about everyone loves to receive.
And no, it’s not just for females.
A fancy candle is a perfect idea for your boyfriend’s gift list. That’s because guys deserve nice things too, and there is nothing wrong with him enjoying a delicious scent in his home (it’s better than it smelling like sweaty gym clothes).
A little boring, you say?
Go luxury with a beautifully smelling spa candle from British brand, Jo Malone.
Apparently, Kate Middleton burned Jo Malone Orange Blossom candles in Westminster Abbey during her wedding to Prince William back in April 2011. And then ever since word got out that the royals used these candles, numerous brides the world over have been using them to create a similar luxurious and opulent royal atmosphere.
Beautiful candles that are good enough for royalty, they’ll certainly make a lovely gift for your bride-to-be, your wife, your boyfriend, your sister… Well, anyone, really!
This lovely glass candle is filled with the highly fragrant scentes, which will infuse any room with an evocative scent that will last for hours. It comes packaged in a beautifully wrapped box that will make for a perfect candle gift.
I love this soy candle because it is made from soy wax without any dyes, paraffin, lead, or phthalate and is vegan/cruelty-free. It can also be a nice addition to suggest some quiet time together by candlelight with some music and away from screens.
Tea Lover Gift Set
Depending on where you are in the world, winter is a tea-drinking season. There’s nothing I love more than having a selection of teas to choose from on a cold evening.
We love how this sampler lets you explore 45 unique tea varieties in one delightful collection! From soothing chamomile to energizing chai, each blend is thoughtfully crafted with premium ingredients like real dried fruits, flowers, and spices – no artificial flavors here.
We’re impressed by unique flavors like Nutty Almond Cream and Passion Berry Jolt that you won’t find in typical tea collections.
Silk Pillowcase
Looking for a gift that’s pure luxury, while also being practical? This silk pillowcase from Slip – or the one from its slightly less costly but just as pretty cousin, SLPBABY – fits the bill perfectly. It claims to aid in anti-aging by causing less friction against the skin and absorbing much less night-time face cream than its cotton counterparts. But honestly, she’s just going to adore the idea of falling asleep on a pillow of soft silkiness, literally.
Weighted Blanket
Weighted blankets have been all the rage in recent years, and for good reason. Their weight gives the feeling that you’re being hugged all night long and they can help you relax by encouraging the release of serotonin.
It’s useful, yet it’s indulgent – the perfect gift for someone that values coziness and practicality.
They will be reminded of how much you love them every time they snuggles under this blanket. Hey, don’t worry, they will still want your real hugs too!
Cotton Blanket Throw
An elegant adornment over a bed or ideal for freshening up sofas, this cotton throw blanket can be embroidered with their names, a date, or a cute message.
The personalization options make it extra special – add names, dates, or craft your own message up to 75 letters. Perfect as a cotton anniversary gift, but it would als make an equally thoughtful housewarming or retirement present, a birthday gift, or even a Valentine’s day gift.
Amazing gift for any night when they would like to curl up on the couch with this new personalized throw, pop some bubbly, and throw on a good movie.

Picnic in the Park
Picnics saw a surge in popularity during 2020, due in part to the need for social distancing and closure of restaurant dining. Personally, I’d like to see them stay en vogue.
After all, what’s more romantic than finding the perfect, secluded spot to picnic, pouring some bubbly and dining al fresco with your true love.
If they are a foodie, they will absolutely adore this picnic basket set! Include a bottle of their favourite wine and some non-perishable treats (e.g. chocolates!), then make sure you set a date and plan all the details of your first picnic outing!
“From My Heart to Yours” Couples Pillowcase Set
This pick tops our list for the most adorable gift!
I never thought I’d describe a set of pillowcases as ‘cute’, but here we are. With a stick-person version of him blowing kisses at a stick-person version of her, how can you go wrong?
Cashmere Scarf
When it comes to classic, timeless styles, AMICALE CASHMERE has got you covered with gift ideas for every occasion, including Valentine’s Day.
I’m loving this cashmere scarf, perfect for keeping your favorite person warm all winter long. And when they say cashmere, they mean it.
This beauty is 100% cashmere. If you want to go the extra mile and have the cash to do so, pair it with a matching beanie.
24. Valentine’s Day Gift Basket
Do not underestimate the power of a gift basket filled with sweets and treats to make your gal swoon on V-day.
These gorgeous food baskets from Harry & David take the whole ‘box of chocolates’ idea and rack it up a whole bunch of notches. Truffles, shortbread cookies, gourmet spreads, Gouda cheeses, fancy crackers – there’s a plethora of savoury and sweet eats featured in their various gift baskets.
If you’re having trouble deciding between all the options, might I humbly suggest their Deluxe Valentine’s Day Gift Box?!
Personalized Wall Art

This beautiful piece of photo art is a wonderful way to display all your treasured photos. Send in 30 of your favorite pics to create the heart; they’ll mat and frame it for you, ready for her to unwrap.

I’m a big fan of Minted; their products are always high-quality and their designs classy. In fact, if you use the code LOVEANDLAVENDER on their site, you’ll receive 20% off your first purchase!
Custom Sky Map Print
Looking for a unique, romantic gift? This custom-made print is a sweet tribute to the time and place you met each other, got married – or any other time and place that is significant!
Every time they look at this personalized sky map, they will be transported back to the first night you met. Or whichever significant moment you choose to capture in the stars.

Experience Gift Certificate – Flying
If they keep telling you they do not want anything, they just wants to spend time with you, take the cue.

If that sounds like the kind of gift they would appreciate, consider booking a Virgin Experience or AirBnB Experience in your own city or nearby. You don’t have to go far to have an adventure. From a yoga sessions with goats, to surf lessons, a farm-to-table dining experience, designing a custom fragrance – the options abound!

Fondue Set
Since we’re on a roll with food-related gift ideas, here’s another one for the adventurous foodie in your life!
Fondue sets tend to be, erm, risky gifts. Truth be told, they can often get packed away after one or two uses and completely forgotten. But that’s the old fondue sets, which were a pain in the butt to use.
This sleek electric fondue set from Cuisinart is a game-changer. So much so that Fondue Fridays may become a real thing in your house. Don’t say we didn’t warn you and your waistline!
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Take the classic ‘box of chocolate’ gift and turn it into an unforgettable, delectable experience.
If they have a sweet tooth, they will literally swoon when she opens this Ultimate Assortment Chocolate Covered Strawberries.
What makes these extra special is the Belgian chocolate coating and the variety of delicious toppings. Each juicy strawberry is first dipped in premium Belgian chocolate, then rolled in gourmet toppings like nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips, and coconut – a delightful mix of textures and flavors in every bite.

Spice up date night with this playful game that’s definitely more about love than it is about battles and wars. Though you might fight over who gets to go first if you catch my drift.
