The 50 Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her

No matter whether she’s your girlfriend of two weeks or wife of 20 years, she definitely deserves a Valentine’s Day gift. (And in related news, it’s also probably not a bad idea to get your mom and sister a little something, too.) That being said—hot tip alert—you do want to tailor your gift-giving based on how long you’ve been together. A crazy expensive piece of jewelry may feel a little out of place for a new relationship. The good news? There’s no shortage of great V-day gifts, from the classic categories like yes, jewelry and lingerie, to awesome skincare and beauty finds to cool fashion pieces and so much more. Another important tip: If you are going to go the route of any kind of clothing, be sure to do some recon and determine her size ahead of time. And while many of these items may be geared toward women, there are plenty out there that are gender-neutral, great choices for anyone and everyone, no matter how they identify.

You’ll find Byrdie-approved candy (like the Prada perfume by that name) plus artisanal chocolates, and flowers from the only women-owned floral e-commerce brand—as well as more niche, items like Swarovski crystal ear seeds and infrared sauna blankets in our editor-curated list of best Valentine’s Day gifts for her.

Charlotte Tilbury's New Highlighter Is Like Flawless Filter in a Powder

There are no chunky flecks of garish glitter to be found in this powder highlighter. Just a creamy formula that contains pressed pearls and touts a unique technology that diffuses light in the most gorgeous, natural, lit-from-within way possible.

Price at time of publish: $48

What Our Testers Say

“After using a fan brush to apply this highlighter to the high points of my face (cheekbones, brow bone, nose bridge, and cupid’s bow), I noticed that I didn’t have a sparkly complexion like with other highlighter formulas, but rather a reflective radiance that made my skin look flawless (bye-bye, pores), bright, and dewy, even while I’m battling winter dullness.” —Isabella Sarlija, Product Tester

Elsa Hosk's Lip Contour Wand Gave Me a Supermodel Pout

You may have seen this wand all-over TikTok; it’s gone viral for leaving lips looking pillowy and plumped in seconds. Believe the hype: It works beautifully to make your pout look more voluminous, and has staying power, just like a regular lip liner.

Price at time of publish: $34

What Our Editors Say

“I found the most natural results by using it like a traditional lip liner on my top lip and then slightly outside my natural lip line on the bottom, again emphasizing that middle section. That way, my lips look deliciously plump but without any obvious lines. My makeup bag just gained yet another lip product, considering I'm obsessed with the results.” —Bella Cacciatore, Byrdie News Editor

Payot Paris

VIEW ON PAYOT.COM

A face wash may not seem special enough to gift, but this is no ordinary face wash. It combines the beauty of micellar water (gentle, great for makeup remover, ideal for sensitive skin), yet is also nice and creamy and moisturizing, just like a milk cleanser. The best of both worlds, combined in one pretty bottle.

Price at time of publish: $23

What Our Editors Say

“This formula lived up to its intriguing name and more. I already love micellar water for nighttime cleansing, but add in a creamy texture that’s not too thick, not too watery, and you’ve got yourself a micellar goldilocks situation. The formula’s ability to remove my eye makeup with only one cleanse is what really sold me, but I love that I can still follow it up with a second face wash without feeling like I’ve stripped my skin.” —Madeline Hirsch, Byrdie News Director
