It includes everything you might need for the plane ride: eye patches, a mask, face mist and a deep moisturizer, all in travel-friendly sizes. Bonus points if you gift it with a weekend reserved!

For the Gal on the Go
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, things get a little hectic. If busy schedules make you feel like two ships passing in the night, this little sign is the perfect piece to hang on your door as a final reminder before you head out.

$20
For the Fancy Homebody
Give it a chic and fun weekend lounge look with sneakers you’ll want to wear 24/7. Fuzzy pom pom detailing adds a playful touch to these slides, which are made with memory foam and moisture-wicking material. It’s beautiful and practical!

$30
For the Professional Snuggler
Sure, it’s not the sexiest gift in the world, but anyone who likes to cuddle up on the couch will appreciate a throw blanket. It’s basically a soft hoodie that hits below the knee, making sure you’re nice and toasty as you spend the day indoors. The 4.8-star find has been purchased over 3,000 times in the past month, and since reviewers say it’s one of their “best investments,” you might want to get one too!

$98
For those who like to shine
Everyone from Brittany Snow to Ariana Madix has stepped on Meijuri’s jewelry, so when we say these under-$100 studs are a steal, we mean it. The 18k gold vermeil mini pair is hypoallergenic and each has two lab-grown diamonds that form a unique heart shape. You’re sure to get lots of compliments every time you wear them, which will probably be every day!

$35
For the Glam Girlie
Is there a better Valentine’s gift than something called KISSING Lipstick? This set of Charlotte Tilbury minis includes three universally flattering shades that she’ll love, and since the product itself is moisturizing and gives the look of a fuller kiss, you’ll probably reap the benefits too.

For Sleeping Beauty
Have you ever wondered why she rarely wears the hot underwear set you bought her two years ago? Chances are it won’t be comfortable. This alternative is the best of both worlds: a top and bottom that show off your body and booty, but in a soft, modal material you’ll be dying to slip on after a long day.

$77
For the new mother
If your dynamic duo recently turned into a threesome, finding a Valentine’s gift just got a little easier. She’ll love something that pays homage to her newest, littlest love, like this initial necklace, which also features a birthstone pendant for an extra-chic, sentimental touch.

$28
For the romantic
If you must have a date night, let this pack of cards be your third wheel. It contains prompts meant to get the conversation flowing and can lead to learning something new about others. By the end of the night, you might feel closer than before!

$100
For the chaotic monkey
If you haven’t yet discovered the beauty of a Bogg bag, you’re in for a treat. This large, virtually indestructible and easy-to-clean bag makes it easy to keep life in your bag, especially if you invest in some accessories. Brand name bags, trays, phone pockets and more easily stick to the holes. This one, however, feels very elegant and special as the openings are hearts instead of circles.

For the fashion lover
If your wife is someone who likes to experiment with style, embrace new trends, or is in the process of finding what works for her body, she’ll appreciate a Nuuly gift card. The subscription service allows you to rent six pieces per month, which you can return to buy new items next time or buy at a discount.

For those who have big plans
Show that you support her dreams by helping her manifest them. This magazine is essentially a big photo book so you can cut and paste on a vision board. Not only will it mean a lot to see how much you believe in her, but your gift will even help her reach a goal (or two!) by the end of 2026.

$49
For those who like to layer
Unfortunately, there are still a few months of winter left, but they’ll feel a little easier with this fleece in their rotation. It’s great for layering under coats, cozying up at home and will even be the perfect light jacket once spring rolls around.
