40 First Valentine's Day Gifts Every Type of Partner Will Love (2024)

If you've only been on a few dates but you still want to get something for them, go small. This Positive Potato will remind them that you're rooting for them, but in a not-weird way. (Because nothing says, "I'm not weird" like a knitted potato with a sign.)

Love a puzzle night with your partner? This editor can personally vouch for the Night at The Movies puzzle from Big Potato Games — it's currently downstairs and I refuse to put it away until we guess all the movie puns. (It'll be down there for a long time.)

And what, we ask you, goes better with flowers than some premium chocolates? These individually wrapped candies from Ghirardelli are shaped like hearts, because you're romantic like that.

If they do happen to be doing a spot of cooking, they'll need some olive oil, right? This bestselling duo from Brightland includes the brand's signature cold-pressed oils: Awake and Alive. (For us philistines, that means one is better for salads and drizzling and the other is meant for cooking.)

Bespoke Post is known for its monthly subscription box, but the brand also has a curated shop filled with items that can only be described as heckin' cool. This barware set is the perfect starter kit for the guy (or gal) who likes co*cktails but hasn't ventured into the realm of making their own drinks yet.

Put your big feelings on display with these big hearts, a design from Minted featured artist Kelli Hall. This would be the perfect accompaniment to a baking-related gift. Just remember, the secret ingredient is always love.

Sneakers, but make them something Cupid would wear. These Nike Dunk Lows are ideal for Valentine's Day, but will look cool throughout the year. They're unisex, so you can get a pair for yourself and your partner and field compliments from all the other jelly couples.

The product they never knew they needed: BrüMate's Winesulator. This bad boy keeps merlots and cabs at the perfect temp for over 24 hours, so you can focus on getting the rest of the picnic perfected.

You know what everyone always needs? Another water bottle. But this one is the water bottle they'll love. It's pretty, it comes with an insulated sleeve to keep things cool (or hot), and they get a set of "Microdrink" hydration cubes in fruity flavors like blackcurrant elderberry.

Do they love chilled coffee even in the dead of winter as icicles drip from the gutters? This large-capacity cold brew maker whips up five cups of coffee at once — one for each day of the work week! Let's be real, though, they'll blow through a batch in two days.

If you give a mouse a cookie, right? Astroglide is fine and all, but Hello Cake makes tasty lube that are designed to be sweet on sensitive skin in tasty flavors like peach ginger, coconut lime, and vanilla chai. It'll be like a fruit salad down there (in the best way ever, of course).

Nothing wrong with getting a gift that encourages more kissing, right? Minimo Skin Essentials has a candy-flavored lip scrub that will make exfoliate their lips to silky perfection. Not only is it on-theme, it's ideal for wintertime when lips get inevitably chapped by the cold, dry weather.

Cirque Colors makes vegan, cruelty-free polish in shades that just make you happy. Snozzberry is our pick for Valentine's Day, though we don't recommend you lick it. The snozzberries do not taste like snozzberries.

If slides are a part of their daily wardrobe, get fancy with a themed pair from Tory Burch. Just be careful — if you haven't said The L Word yet, these might send the message prematurely.

Bros want glassy skin, too! Get him a set of Jaxon Lane's signature sheet masks so he can also oparticipate in spa night. (After all, you don't want to waste your nice products on that guy, right?)

If you haven't thought of flowers, you're in more trouble than we thought. This impeccably named bouquet is romantic without being too schmaltzy. It's also screaming to be posted to Instagram.
