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.)

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.

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.

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 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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

If they love to travel but you're not in a place to explore together yet, consider a weekender bag. Everlane makes a beloved oversized tote that comes in five neutral colors to suit any and every short trip.

Get spicy with this DIY hot sauce kit. The box comes with several peppers (guajillo, chipotle, arbol) of varying heat levels, spices, and vinegar. The ingredients will make six bottles, all of which you get to name and label yourself!

Grab a bag from Amazon-favorite brand Mali+Lili! This triple-pocketed crossbody comes in 24 colors, so if the red is a little too on-the-nose for Valentine's Day, order it in taupe, black, or green.
