Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Wives and Girlfriends 2026: Gift Ideas

Leatherology Katy Medium Saddle Bag

Customize this gorgeous leather shoulder bag from Leatherology with her initials, and I’d bet it becomes her new everyday go-to (and not just because you’re the one who bought it, though that definitely helps).

Tory Burch Miller Watch

Time flies when you’re dating, married, or engaged to your best friend. But just in case she still wants to keep track of the minutes (no implications here!), this Tory Burch watch does the job beautifully.

Cozy Earth Sleepy Hearts Pajamas

If you’ve read literally any of our gift guides before, you already know Cozy Earth makes the list — and for good reason. Their pajamas are nearly impossible to beat. They’re buttery soft and come in this cute conversational heart print for Valentine’s Day. I’ll put it this way: while writing this, I even bought them (nothing like shopping on company time, right?).

Burberry Sunglasses

With so many designer brands out there, it can be hard to know which one she actually wants. Let me make it easy: Burberry is always a safe bet. These shades are from LensCrafters and cost less than your fantasy football winnings, so yes, you can afford them.

Lululemon Define Jacket Nulu

If you’ve ever had the thought, Who would spend hundreds of dollars on activewear? It’s us. Me. Women. Is that a gross generalization? Probably. But I don’t think she’d turn away this editor-favorite (and one of my personal must-haves), Nulu jacket from Lululemon, anytime soon.

Anthropologie Fluffy Dog Plush Bag Charm

You might not be fully tuned into this trend, or maybe you are (in which case, please give my husband some tips), but bag charms are everywhere in 2026. From plush mini monsters to tiny food figures, there’s no escaping them. This Anthropologie version is as cute as they come and is available in three different dog breeds.

Pandora Engravable Bar Ring

An engravable gift is always sweet and sentimental, but make it jewelry, and voilà, it’s basically all she could ever want (no, I’m not serious, but this is about gifting, okay?). Pandora offers a silver option of this ring starting at $58 or a gold version for $80. Both metals can be customized with letters, numbers, or a short phrase — just enough to make it personal without overthinking it.

Yves Saint Laurent Satin Lipstick

Let me let you in on one of my favorite gifting hacks. A designer makeup product — like this YSL lipstick — comes with all the luxe, boujee packaging of much higher-end items from the brand (I’m talking five figures), but for way less money.

It’s the luxury gift experience without draining your bank account. Bonus tip (because I’m generous): if you don’t know what shade to buy, sneak a look at her makeup stash and color-match (find the same or similar shade) to something she already owns. If she bought it herself, she probably loves it.

James Allen Tennis Bracelet in 14K White Gold

Even if she says she doesn’t want or need more jewelry, let me clue you in — she does not mean it. James Allen makes stunning diamond pieces you can feel good about (this one’s lab-grown, which, yes, is chemically identical to a mined diamond). It’ll add just the right amount of sparkle to her wrist… and her eyes when she looks at you.

Aviator Nation 5 Stripe Hoodie

Aviator Nation is about as reliable as loungewear gets. The viral brand makes soft, stylish pieces worn by everyone from Lady Gaga to literally The Sandman. This classic hoodie comes in 11 other colors, which is perfect, because she’ll probably want more than one.

Leatherology Medium Ring Jewelry Box

If she’s running out of space for her impressive jewelry collection (because of course you’ve spoiled her over the years, right?), this Leatherology organizing case is a no-brainer. It keeps her precious gems safe, and travels just as well as she does.

Staud Custom Pet Mini Moon Bag

If she’s a dog mom, this custom pet portrait purse is the ultimate find. The bag itself is high quality and stylish, but add her furry baby, and it instantly becomes a family heirloom and her most prized possession. Just drag and drop a photo, and Staud handles the rest (we recommend pulling one from her Instagram so you know it’s stage-mom approved).

Commando Ballet Long Sleeve Mock Neck Bodysuit

Every woman needs a good bodysuit — but there is nothing basic about this Commando option. When I worked at a boutique post-college, this ballerina mock neck was the most asked-about piece we carried. So when I say get this for your girl, I mean immediately. Bonus: it’s one-size-fits-all, so you don’t even have to stress sizing (and yes, it actually works).

Vera Bradley Disney Medium Cosmetic Case

If your gal is on a first-name basis with Mickey Mouse, Vera Bradley’s Disney collection is worth checking out. From backpacks to blankets inspired by classics like The Aristocats and 101 Dalmatians, there’s plenty to love, but this multi-character cosmetic case is my personal favorite.

ASTR The Label Jasmine Sweater Bandeau Shrug Set

ASTR the Label is one of my all-time favorite brands. Not only is everything chic and affordable, but it fits like a dream. This sweater set is basically two gifts in one, with a ballerina-esque shrug and a ribbed tank that makes transitioning from winter to spring (and even summer) easy.

Dagne Dover Sydney Checked Luggage

Alright, I know you may have paused and thought, Why would I get her luggage for Valentine’s Day? Allow me two rebuttals. First, this beautiful gray suitcase is 60% off at Dagne Dover, which almost never happens. Second, pair it with a weekend getaway to her favorite romantic spot. Suddenly, you’re a partner worthy of praise.

Abercrombie & Fitch Madeline Diet Coke Crew Sweater

For the girl who’s addicted to Diet Coke (so many of us, right…what’s a little aspartame anyway?), Abercrombie makes a perfectly cut sweater that pays tribute to her favorite pastime. And if she’s more of a sparkling water person, no, they don’t have a Perrier option, but they do have 32 other designs to choose from.

Prada Saffiano Leather Card Case

Sometimes choosing a wallet for someone feels like a lot of pressure, which is why we suggest opting for a designer card case instead. It fits all of her plastic (and probably some of yours), and it’s slightly less expensive than a traditional billfold.

Spanx AirEssentials Half-Zip

Spanx’s AirEssentials line quite literally feels like wearing memory foam — in the best way possible. Ditch the synthetic loungewear gifts of years past and get her the half-zip with the matching pants. Fair warning: once this set goes on, it may never come off.

BCBG Max Azria Faux Sherling Long Coat

Faux (emphasis on faux) fur coats are taking over every department store, boutique, and influencer’s closet this season, so if you’re wondering whether your girl wants one, let me answer that for you: she does. This past-the-knee style by BCBG Max Azria is currently on sale, and at the time of writing, this dreamy white color still has all sizes available. I’d recommend sizing up if she plans to pair it with a bulkier sweater underneath.

James Allen Two-Tone Climber Huggie Earrings With Flower Detail

When it comes to earrings, dainty diamonds are always the move — especially since everyone has different sensitivities to weight. These 14k gold huggies from James Allen are guaranteed to leave her speechless (and her earlobes unbothered).

Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Cream

Show her that you care about her beauty routine just as much as she does with this Kiehl’s avocado under-eye cream. It helps her eye area look bright and refreshed, even if you kept her up way too late watching the playoff game.

Boys Lie Loverboy Flirty Shirley Randy Tank

Shirley Temples are suddenly everywhere. For me, they never left, but now Poppi is hopping on the trend, and so is Boys Lie. This easy tank features a bold center graphic for the cool girl in your life, and there are matching sweatpants if she really wants to commit to the look.

Gorjana Wilder Mini Alphabet Necklace

A less expensive jewelry option that’s just as thoughtful: an initial necklace from Gorjana that channels her inner Carrie Bradshaw (if you know, you know), without the emotional rollercoaster of Mr. Big. Because you’re definitely an Aidan… right?

New Balance 530 Sneakers

Cinderella found her man by finding the right shoe, and while these aren’t glass slippers, your princess still deserves the perfect fit.

Chanel CHANCE EAU TENDRE Eau de Parfum Spray

Chanel never misses, and this eau de parfum will make her feel like the elegant woman she is — even if she’s just heading out for the weekly grocery run.

Lilly Pulitzer Ballad Cotton Sweater

This Lilly Pulitzer Valentine’s Day crewneck gets her in the spirit of the holiday, but thanks to its versatile striped design and chic center graphic, she’ll still be wearing it long after Cupid’s last arrow has been launched.

Lovehoney Oh La La Cheri Red Eyelash Lace Teddy

This one might technically be more of a gift for you, but this teddy lingerie from Lovehoney is our top pick for a sexy night in. We chose a teddy over a traditional bustier because it’s universally flattering on women of all body types and shapes, thanks to its streamlined silhouette.

Bombas Valentine’s Day Calf Socks – 4 Pack

Bombas special Valentine’s Day socks are currently 13% off, so you can keep her feet festive, cozy, and feeling good, all for under $80.

Stanley 1913 Valentine’s Day Tumbler

One girl can simply never have too many Stanleys — especially when the brand drops a Valentine’s Day edition. Get her both the red velvet and pink velvet to really drive home the point that you not only tolerate the obsession… You support it.

Brunch Essential Slippers

There are two things all women love: brunch and slippers. So technically, this gift covers both. These ultra-comfortable slip-ons are everywhere right now. I wore them in my building’s elevator once, and another woman asked to try them on… then immediately bought them on her phone. Honestly, that’s the best endorsement there is.

Bearaby Tree Napper Weighted Blanket

Sure, a good cuddle session with your loved one is essential to any relationship (at least that’s what I tell my partner), but sometimes you want that same cozy feeling with personal space. That’s where Bearaby’s weighted blanket comes in. Unlike other options, it doesn’t feel suffocating and offers just the right amount of comforting pressure, without requiring your significant other to do the job.

Mixtiles Official Custom Photo Tiles

Mixtiles are one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever received from my husband (he used photos from our wedding and world travels), and I have a feeling they’ll become your Mrs.’s favorite too. They’re easy to install and won’t damage the walls when she wants to swap photos or update memories down the line.

Anthropologie Benedita Wine Glass

Anthropologie makes some of the sweetest kitchenware around, and this bow-adorned wine glass checks all the boxes. Most importantly, it has a proper stem for her vino (yes, she cares, and yes, it does matter).

Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Hardcore Bundle Sheet Set

Want to know what’s romantic? Helping her create her own safe space. And sure, you might say that’s you, but it can also be a set of high-quality bedsheets that make her bedroom feel like a luxury hotel.

Snif Big Flirt Candle

The gift of a good scent is often overlooked, but thanks to Snif, she’s about to start expecting it at every holiday. Pair it with chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne, and the mood turns romantic the second you strike the match.

Jellycat Colette Heart Macaron Plush Toy

Valentine’s Day Jellycats are the gift this year, no matter if she’s 18 or 80. This plush macaron is going faster than the heart-shaped candy hiding in your pantry, so don’t wait (I’ve included several options to improve your odds).

The Bouqs Co. Subscription

Flowers? For Valentine’s Day? Groundbreaking. Which is why we suggest opting for Bouqs. Not only will they deliver a beautiful bouquet on the 14th, but you can also sign her up for a subscription (with multiple tiers), so flowers show up on random days throughout the year. Arguably a much stronger move.

Technics Wireless Earbuds

Upgrade her headphone game with one of our staff-favorite selects from Technics. These wireless earbuds earn high marks for sound quality, comfort, and — if you ask me — style. Especially this shimmering champagne color that conveniently matches her drink of choice.

Dylan’s Candy Bar Cupid’s Candy Tackle Box

Skip the predictable box of chocolates and upgrade to this candy tackle box from Dylan’s Candy Bar instead. Gummies, chocolate-covered pretzels, sour sweets — basically all the greatest hits in one package.

Goliath: The Traitors Board Game

If you want to show her that you actually listen to her interests, get her this Traitors board game. We’re assuming she’s watching the viral show (everyone is), and it also doubles as a great date-night activity for the two of you, so long as she’s a Faithful.

ThermaBack LED

If you ask almost any woman what she wants as a gift, the answer will eventually circle back to a spa appointment. But if you’re looking for something that doesn’t end after an hour, this Therabody back device is the next best thing. It helps ease pain and makes it feel like she just walked out of a hot stone massage.

KelliDream Magic Circle Tool Inclusive Learn to Crochet Kit for Beginners

As my best friend put it, “All of the girls are crafting right now!” And if your girl is one of those, or wants to be because everyone else is (same), get her this crochet starter kit from Amazon. It’s thoughtful, and who knows, in the future you might even score a cozy scarf or blanket out of it. Think of it as a long-term investment.

Urban Outfitters Vinyl Shop

Urban Outfitters has hundreds of vinyl records available online, so whether she talks about Harry Styles like they’re in a relationship, or prefers the smooth sounds of Olivia Dean, there’s something for her. Added bonus: Gifting vinyl can easily become a fun tradition you carry on year after year.

Solawave Wrinkle Retreat Pro LED Face Mask

A luxury spa treatment she can enjoy in her pajamas without having to drive anywhere? Need we say more? This Solawave mask can help improve her skin (not that she needs it) and gives her a new way to unwind and relax at the end of the day.

Uncommon Goods: A Year of Dates 52 Surprise Envelopes

Uncommon Goods will quickly become your secret weapon for all future gifting, because the site is packed with some of the most unique finds out there. Case in point: these date cards, which include 52 ideas — from brunch to the batting cages — of activities you can actually do together.

Our Adventure Book Photo Album

If you’ve ever seen Up (and if you haven’t, consider yourself emotionally untapped), you’ll remember the adventure book where the main characters log their most meaningful memories together. Create your own with this Etsy pick and surprise the Ellie to your Carl.

Womanizer Next Duo

The most selfless gift you can give this year is an orgasm — it’s just science. And even if you can’t always get her there (practice makes perfect), the Womanizer Next Duo can, with a reported success rate of 97%.

Live Event Tickets on StubHub

We’re big fans of experiential gifts — especially ones you can do together, like a live show, concert, or sporting event. Grab tickets from StubHub for that must-see event she’s been dying to attend in your area (so… probably the upcoming Ashlee Simpson tour).
