Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

Gift giving and finding presents for friends and family have always come easy to me, as I pride myself on being amazing at spending money and knowing their personalities to a T. However, I know trying to find the perfect gift can be stressful for other people.

Below are different aesthetics that may fit the person you might be shopping for and some ideas to help you select the gift you know they’ll love. But hey, not everything has to be materialistic. If your S.O. is practical and doesn’t like material items, give them something meaningful like a handmade gift or plan an unforgettable date. 

For the skin-care/makeup queens:

Day Dream Kit | Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops 

Paula’s Choice BHA Exfoliator | Laneige Lip Mask 

Most of these products have been trending on TikTok. The Paula’s Choice exfoliator has been a holy grail for most beauty and skincare influencers as they’ve noted that their texture and acne have been saved by this product. Laneige also just released a Valentine’s themed lip mask duo that is strawberries and chocolate scented! 

For the cozy ones:

Roses Candle | Prosecco

Chocolates | Blanket

Creating a little Valentine’s basket for your loved one is also a pretty great idea. Fill it with something you know they’ll love, like the fuzzy blanket and chocolates pictured above. You could even turn this gift idea into a cute date as you can use the items during a movie night in! 

For the memory makers:

Date Night Ideas | Lego Roses

Gold Locket | What I Love about You Book

I’d have to say these items seem like a memorable Valentine’s gift to give. The locket can be special as you can print out a small photo of the two of you and place it inside! Lego flowers are an item I think will be big in the Gen Z Valentine holiday this year, as they are flowers that will never die. The two other items can be interactive and fun to complete with your partner. 

For the trendy on-the-go partner:

Owala Waterbottle | Lululemon Belt Bag

Starbucks Gift Card | Planner

All of these items shown above are offered in different colors to match your partner the best. The belt bag is personally one of my favorite items going into 2023 as the bag fits everything I need. If you are with someone that is generally always busy, a water bottle is a good idea so that they can stay hydrated. I also think a coffee gift card is a good idea as caffeine is a good pick-me-up when running around from place to place all day. Lastly, I’d recommend finding a cute planner for your boo as writing out their schedule can keep them more organized. Make it even more memorable and write cute notes in their planner.
