If you are reading this article, it probably means that you still haven’t bought your partner a Valentine’s Day gift. I mean, what do you get a person who already has the best thing ever (AKA, you)?
Jokes aside, the key to giving great gifts is knowing your partner, their energy, and their interests. Since it’s the season of love, think about why you love that person, and spoil them for all of those reasons.
Gift giving can be hard, especially if you don’t do gifts frequently or if this is your first Valentine’s Day. It’s normal for you to feel some pressure. Don’t worry though, this V-Day, you can let the stars guide you to the perfect gift for your partner.
- Aries: Board Game.
-
Target, $15
Competitive is an Aries middle name. So, it’s only fair to challenge them to a battle ‘til the end with a fancy new board game. Cuddle up together and play Monopoly, the Game Of Life, or any other game while sipping on wine on the holiday and watch them try their hardest to make sure you get sent straight to jail, while they are passing “GO.”
- Taurus: Self-Care Kit.
-
Lush, $45
You know who will want to do something on Valentine’s Day? Taurus, of course! Ruled by Venus, this sign is focused on self-care, making this relaxation-themed set from Lush the perfect gift. Take all of the work out of it for them, draw the bath, and hand them some tea while they soak in a lavender haze. For bonus points, put their towels in the dryer so they finish their self-care with a warm towel.
- Gemini: We’re Not Really Strangers.

- Leo: Name Necklace.

Mint & Lily, $45
Dramatic Leo comes oozing confidence in themselves, their taste, and their worth. And let’s be honest — there’s nothing a Leo loves more than some good ‘ol fashioned attention. Remind them that you also know how amazing they are with a custom necklace of their name.
- Virgo: A new journal.
-
Urban Outfitters, $11
Virgos are kind lovers, but busy people. Since they are so organized, a shiny new (and organized) reminder to take some time for themselves is perfect. Gifting them a journal can remind them that they should slow down for a few minutes and organize their thoughts.

Scorpios are a little freaky, and we love ‘em for it. Show your Scorpio that you love their spicy side by giving them a new vibrator, or another toy they’ve been eyeing up. Bonus points if you use it together: That’s what I call a win-win.
- Sagittarius: An Adventure.
