Struggling to Find a Valentine's Gift? Here are 37 She'll Love
The results of a quick survey around the MH office are in, and among the worst gifts ever bought for a partner include a car manual, cleaning products and a gym membership (it doesn’t exactly send the right message).
To save your optimism being met with a heart-hearted grin and glazed-over blues, we’ve pulled together the ultimate gift guide ahead of V Day (14 February, guys), including everything from bargain bouquets to floral fragrances, jewellery and lingerie.
Yep, our group of (very willing) female testers scoured the shelves and put countless products to the test, resulting in a wish list guaranteed to leave a smile on your lover’s lips.
A good rule of thumb is to keep indulgence front of mind when shopping for the best Valentine's gift — because, trust us, she's worth it. And if you're after some inspo as to what you should ask her for on the big day, head over to our gifts for him guide.
37 Best Valentine's Gifts For Women To Shop Now
We've included all the classics like chocolate, flowers and jewellery — although our loungewear picks and book subscription service are pretty popular too...
The Ultimate - Cheese & Fine Wine
She loves wine, she loves cheese, but you have no idea how to bring the two together. Enter Cheesegeek. Eight award-winning cheeses (totalling 850g) are paired with eight fine wines in this gift set fit for any connoisseur — or those who just fancy a nice night in.
Dawn Promise
Roses are red… and played out. Instead, brighten her day with this mix of lavender, lilac statice, pink alstroemeria and eucalyptus from the UK's most ethical florist, Arena Flowers.
As well as a unique declaration of your love, they're also a hopeful reminder that spring is just around the corner. And you can even add a glass vase for just £10.
Frou Frou Romance Tulle Babydoll
Whoever said lingerie couldn’t be comfy and sexy were supremely wrong. This Intimissimi babydoll boasts non-padded and non-wired cups, so you can’t be accused of not looking out for her comfort, while the luxurious bow-embroidered plumetis tulle reveals just enough to catch your eye and leave you wanting to unwrap more.
Woven Heart Locket Chain Necklace
Nothing says ‘I love you’ more than giving her your heart… locket. This one is attached to a delicate 100% recycled gold vermeil woven chain. It offers the option to fill it with a photo of you and your beloved, as well as a thoughtfully crafted engraving.
You could even go full Nosferatu and include a lock of your own hair, if she’s into that kind of Victorian romantic gesture.
Heart-Shaped Knicker Vibrator
On the theme of heart-shaped objects, gift her this knicker vibrator from Ann Summers. It’s sparkly, it’s red, and most importantly it’s remote-controlled, so you can take the reins on a spicy date night outing and watch her squirm as she attempts to hold in her (ahem) passion, as she experiences its seven vibration settings.
Silk Stripe Piped Pyjama Set
Instead of hinting you’d prefer she slept in something more *refined* than her university sweatshirt and pants, step up with this luxurious rosy-pink set.
Crafted from sustainable Bluesign approved silk and finished with mother of pearl buttons, this set will have her slipping into bed and swanning around like the rom-con queen she truly is. Be prepared to treat her like one too.
Always Pan 2.0
They say the special ingredient to any good recipe is love, so give her something to cook it in. Or better – you to cook for her. Featuring its own spatula and steamer basket, the Always Pan is made of super non-stick ceramic (hello, no more fighting over who does the washing up!), and comes in a range of cute pastel colours.
For the less kitchen-inclined, Our Place has introduced its adorable take on the air fryer. It’s shaped like the miniest of ovens, but unlike the larger variety can heat up in around three minutes, and can be used to grill, toast, roast and bake.
Winterfun Tote Bag
A gift that helps her stick to her multitude of new year's resolutions shows you've really thought about it, and we can confirm this cosy carryall fits her laptop, yoga gear and various emotional support water bottles.
If she's a little more minimalist, there's a sherpa bumbag we can see being a big hit too.
The Whisperer
Don't underestimate this lipstick vibrator – it might be teeny, but its butter-smooth wide tip delivers just the right amount of delicate vibrations.
Designed for mums or anyone with sensitivity in their vulva, the Whisperer is aptly named for its feather-light touch and barely audible motor.
Baby Biskie Box
We're lucky enough to live in a world where you can get brownies, cake and cookies pushed through your letterbox — so why deny her that joy?
This biscuit and macaroon mash-up from London's only all-natural bakery Cutter & Squidge includes inch-wide bites of strawberries and cream, blueberry cheesecake, salted caramel s'more, billionaire dreambar and brownie-flavoured 'biskies' which are, quite simply, heavenly.
£18.99 at cutterandsquidge.com
You - Eau de Parfum
Trust us, Glossier lovers and non-Glossier lovers alike will be yearning after the brand’s cult perfume, so wrapping up a bottle of this will be a fail-safe present for fragrance lovers.
If the sleek dimpled pink and white bottle wasn’t enough of a sell, the fragrance itself blends with the scent of the wearer’s skin, smelling different for everyone.
What better way to celebrate her individuality, eh?
Trademark Silver Heart Earrings
Fashion pros say we're going to see a return to silver in 2025 — yes, your girl has been stacking gold rings and chains for the last half-decade — so why not get her collection off to a good start?
It also doesn't hurt that these Gucci studs are a budget-friendly dupe for those Tiffany Heart Tag Earrings which retail for an eye-watering £505.
Trya Intimates Set
Okay, okay – so we’re not convinced this is a gift for her so much as it is for you, but who’s to say you can’t have a little fun on the big V-Day?
Instead of wasting your money on novelty Valentine’s-themed underwear she’ll only don a handful of times, get her a lingerie set she'll actually wear — and look great in.
Lounge is known for combining comfort with style, and this no-padding bra and adjustable garter is no exception. It even comes in a sapphire blue option if she's looking to feel more bejewelled.
Santal 33 Eau de Parfum
Trust us, your girl has heard of and most probably lusted after this perfume. Creating the kind of hype in Millennials only matched by skinny jeans in 2007, this is a truly intoxicating scent — just read the reviews if you don’t believe us.
Cardamom, violet, iris smoked sandalwood and cedar combine to create a spicy, musky and addictively comforting scent. A modern icon and amazing gift.
Limited Edition Engraved Vibrator
There’s not a single woman on earth who won’t be able to have a bit of fun with a great magic wand vibrator, and this one ticks all the boxes.
If she loves to splash her initials on everything, She Spot offers a free engraving service so you won’t forget who owns it – or go for a cheekier message to showcase your oh-so-giving spirit.
Plus, the head (of the vibrator, don't worry) can be switched out for one of sex toy innovators Love Not War's many options – from their g spot stimulator to the textured couples play head – so you'll always know what to gift her when the next holiday season rolls around.
Tube Medium Hoops
Repeat after us: you can’t go wrong with hoops. And these minimalist offerings are the perfect size for stacking as well as everyday wear. They're available in gold or silver, so clock which colour your giftee wears and buy the same for all the brownie points.
Ocean Bottle Original Lavender Haze
What's hotter than saving the planet? Not much, we think. Gift her this pretty reusable water bottle to not only show your love, but also ensure she has ice-cold drinks on the go for years to come — that's caring, people!
What's even better is this bottle was launched in line with Ocean Bottle's Acqua Sordida campaign, designed to help us end our destructive relationship with bottled water. And you can be in with the chance of winning a water bottle yourself by pledging to break up with plastic bottles — just hit the campaign link above.
We-Vibe Sync 2
With most women being unable to orgasm from vaginal stimulation alone, any toy that encourages mutual pleasure between you and her will be sure to get you feeling in sync.
To give her a clue of what’s to come later, the We-Vibe Sync 2 is the perfect teaser. Its adjustable fit means you can both feel the vibes in any position during partnered sex, or you can control it through an app to add some heat to your long-distance FaceTime dates.
What’s more, its battery lasts up to two hours and it stays firmly in place, so you can keep the good vibes going all night long.
Home Massage Voucher
If her love language is physical touch, and you can’t bear to give in to yet another plea for a massage (that doesn’t lead to anything more…) a gift card for Urban could be the key to her heart.
The at-home beauty and wellbeing provider offers more services than you could ever dream of, meaning you can swoop in and be as generous as you please in covering her pampering needs for the year ahead, from as little as £20.
She’ll thank you for being ever so thoughtful, and you barely had to lift a finger.
A Surprise Subscription Box of 4 Fiction Books
Used to sharing your love with Mr Darcy? Get some of her affection thrown back your way by gifting her a surprise box of fiction. All the books included are highly rated and designed to introduce bookworms to new authors and genres they'll love. At under £26 for four it's a bargain, or subscribe for just £20.99.
His & Hers Couples Chocolate Milk Edition
We know we said chocolates are overdone, but it's totally different when said chocolates are enriched with adaptogens intended to boost your individual libidos.
Plus, they come with their own set of erotic playing cards for a night of sweet exploration.
Apricot Privee eau de parfum
Sure, flowers show how your feelings are really beginning to bloom. But we all know they tend to only last a few days before looking a little worse for wear.
The next best thing? The bottled variety that'll have her thinking of you every morning. This fruity, floral scent from PHLUR balances notes of plum, cardamom and jasmine with sticky peaches and apricots, making it the perfect everyday scent.
And that minimalist bottle totally fits the 'Clean Girl' aesthetic she's been banging on about.
White Topaz Heart Pendant Necklace in Solid Gold
Say it with us: you can never have too many stacking necklaces (although you might not know that, boys).
Give her reason to never forget you’re the king of her heart (or something else Taylor Swift said…) with this delicate heart-shaped pendant, tipped with a white topaz gemstone.
And if she’s more of a matching set kind of gal, pick up a white topaz piercing stud or hoop to complete the look.
The Flamingo Flower
Some women are just not into flowers, and that’s fine. But did you know the reason is often because flowers die (sob), and you have to throw them out? Circumnavigate both problems and give her a wellbeing boost with this gorgeous potted plant instead.
Not only are the heart-shaped pink flowers a subtle nod to Valentine’s Day, but they blossom year-round too, so she'll never forget how damn generous you are. Plus it comes in an on-trend seagrass jute planter, so no faffing to find a pot that fits.
Estée Lalonde Wavy Snake Chain Necklace
Layering — it's not just something women do in cold weather. Stacking necklaces atop each other is a trend that's going nowhere, and this wavy snake chain from Daisy London is the stylish take on a wardrobe staple.
Also available in gold, this slinky necklace pairs beautifully with any other jewellery — or looks great as a standalone piece.
Baya Hoop Earrings
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but let’s be realistic here. We think a pair of earrings that will never go out of style and that she can wear everyday are far more useful than a great hunk of rock — and the favourable price difference is purely a coincidence.
Practicalities aside, this spin on the classic gold hoop is bang on trend and will look great on everybody. Plus, for the eco-conscious, Missoma guarantee carbon-neutral shipping and returns.
Bergamot & Mandarin Zest Alabaster Marble Candle 250g
The thing about beautiful candles is once they’re done, you have to throw them away. Soho Home has found the solution with its marble holder that can house any of its glass candles.
This one holds a bergamot, lime and jasmine scent that will caress the house with floral, woody and citrus notes — as you and your partner do the same. Throw in another candle, if you're feeling generous, for when she inevitably burns through this one.
Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne
Don’t think that just because your giftee isn’t into floral scents that means you can’t douse her in perfume. This sophisticated cologne from Jo Malone is the answer for women who prefer a crisper, more unisex fragrance.
Reminiscent of brisk coastline walks, its rich minerality is offset by the woody earthiness of sage for a truly alluring scent she will adore.
Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator
Yeah we know, roses for Valentine's Day is a cliché — but not this one (and it’s infinitely more exciting). Made famous by TikTok, in the centre of this flower is a super powerful clitoral suction cup, which uses pleasure air technology to rock her world.
It can be used solo or for partnered sex, just lube up and let rip.
Flora Gorgeous Jasmine
You can't go wrong with this heady scent from Gucci. Everything from the playful bottle, romantic flower design and fresh, light fragrance is joyful. Bursting with royal jasmine, it's an ideal gift for any woman who loves a floral perfume.
Silver Espresso Martini Gift Set
Espresso martinis are the ‘it girl’ cocktail, so why not give her the chance to flout her own it girl status everywhere she goes?
Cult London-based coffee roaster Grind has curated a delightfully pink-hued gift box, set with your choice of Grind coffee beans or pods, an espresso martini cocktail set, a (you guessed it) espresso martini scented candle, and a matching mug and tote, so she can sip, sniff and sport her favourite drink all about town.
Geranium Leaf Duet
Aesop might just be the beauty brand pretty much all women lust after. Combining old school apothecary aesthetics with some seriously luxe bodycare, this set contains Aesop's famous geranium leaf body balm and cleanser for top-to-toe pampering.
Snuggle Up Sweater High-Waist Wide Leg Pant
If you’re going on any couple vacays this season, she’ll want to look and feel the part. These knitted high-waist pants can be dressed up or down, and will keep her snug and chic through the most bitter climates.
Pair them with the matching shawl, sweater or cardigan for extra points.
Feu de Bois Scented Candle
Nothing spells a romantic night in like a crackling log fire, but assuming your rented one bed won’t allow it, this candle is the next best thing.
The smouldering aroma of burning embers layered with the smoky warmth of lapsang tea makes for a sultry, mysterious scent sure to get anyone in the mood. And when the candle's burnt out, the jar doubles as IG-worthy makeup brush storage.
Suede Sheepskin Mule Slippers
Nothing, and we mean nothing, shows you're considerate of her more than spontaneous foot massages and keeping your lover's feet warm.
This fuzzy pink pair of slippers are easy to slide on and off, so you can make sure she doesn't get cold feet (literally or metaphorically, of course).
Women's Pleasure Serum
Give the gift of pleasure, pure and simple. This clever serum is like lube on steroids, using CBD to help her relax and make coming come easy. But don't just take our word for it — in trials, nine out of 10 women experienced improved orgasm.
Red Velvet Valentine's Bundle
It’s a giant cookie, plus a box of bite-sized red velvet treats that'll make her seriously popular in the office.
Need we say more? OK then; you can also add a mini bottle of bubbles to your order, and personalise that seven-inch sweet treat with a heartfelt message — or slightly inappropriate inside joke.
