The days leading up to February 14 — particularly if you have someone special to shop for — can be stressful. To help guide your gifting and save you time (so you can get a leg up on planning your romantic itinerary instead), I put together 22 perfect presents for the special woman in your life.
These ideas are suited for every stage of a relationship. Whether you’re married to her, looking to propose to her, or still getting to know her, there’s bound to be something she’ll love in the list to follow.
And of course, don’t forget to tell your Valentine you love her! Because that’s really the best gift of all.

A set of sheets she won’t want to take off her bed
Brooklinen
A set of high-quality sheets is a must-have for any bedroom, and I’ve gone so far as to call Brooklinen’s the best value on the market. The company’s Hardcore Sheet Bundle has everything she needs to completely makeover her bed. It includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, a duvet cover, and four pillowcases.
Brooklinen Luxe Hardcore Sheet Bundle (Queen), $228
Brooklinen Classic Hardcore Sheet Bundle (Queen), $179.25
A fancy candle
Nordstrom
Fancy candles are fail-safe presents for any women in your life.
Diptyque Rosa Mundi Candle, $68
A pair of earrings
Mejuri
Get her a pair of earrings she can wear every day. Mejuri’s jewelry is a new favorite of mine, and I’m guessing a lot of other women will love the company’s delicate collection of rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. You can check out all of Mejuri’s jewelry here.
Mejuri Grace Orbit Earrings, $65
Mejuri Grace Threader Earrings, $170
A bouquet of flowers
BloomThat
If you don’t have a local florist to consult and you’re ready to move on from 1-800-Flowers, have a look at The Bouqs Co and BloomThat.
I’ve used each service a handful of times, and while I can’t vouch for every bouquet the companies have ever shipped, all of my experiences with Bouqs and BloomThat have been positive ones so far. I think they have a much fresher and more varied selection than the rest of the competition.
Check out BloomThat’s and The Bouqs Co.’s Valentine’s Day flowers here.
A box of chocolates
Godiva
You can’t go wrong with a classic, heart-shaped box of Godiva chocolates.
Godiva Satin Embroidered Heart Chocolate Gift Box (25 pc.), $75
A card that tells her how you feel
Catbird
Don’t forget to tell your Valentine you love them; that’s really the best gift of all.
The Dancing Cat Main Squeeze Chubby Cat Card, $5
A spa day
Bliss
If you have extra spending money from your year-end bonus and really want to treat her this Valentine’s Day, schedule a couples massage for the two of you, or a full spa day just for her.
Bliss Gift Card, from $25
A bubble bath
Sephora
Or if a spa day is too extravagant for your budget, a relaxing bubble bath is something she can enjoy at home.
Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Honey Bath, $45
An engagement ring
Catbird
An engagement ring signifies a huge milestone in a relationship, so it’s a purchase anyone taking that next step wants to get just right. Not only is it generally one of the largest purchases a person will make — the average American spends $5,871 — it’s typically one that’s made by millennial males who have no idea what they’re doing.

Catbird Odette the Swan Supreme Ring, from $3,400
Kataoka Curved Willow Band, $1,980

A Birchbox subscription
Birchbox
If she’s the type who enjoys experimenting with and testing out new beauty and skincare products, but doesn’t want to risk buying the full-size of something and end up not liking it, Birchbox is pretty much made with her in mind.
Birchbox 3-Month Subscription Gift Card, $30
Birchbox 6-Month Subscription Gift Card, $60
A pair of shades
Warby Parker
Pair these sunglasses with a surprise tropical getaway and win Valentine’s Day.

A “smart” carry-on
Away
Away’s carry-on suitcase is a perfect travel companion. It’s made to fit the size guidelines of major US airlines and has an interior battery with USB ports to ensure her phone or tablet doesn’t die at 30,000 feet. It also comes in a bunch of great colors.
Away Carry-On, $225
Sophisticated pajamas
Everlane
Think of something she wouldn’t necessarily buy herself, like cozy new pajamas.

A luxurious scent diffuser

Jo Malone’s fancy scent diffusers are great gifts for girlfriends, wives, and mothers alike — and they look great on living room coffee tables or bedroom nightstands.

Something personal
Framebridge
Get a favorite picture of the two of you — or your kids or pets — custom framed without spending a small fortune.

Winc Art of Caramel x Dime 100, $50
A stylish watch
Linjer
If you have some money to spend, but not a ton, Linjer’s timepieces look great on a wrist. This one comes with a navy leather strap and rose gold case. It’s simple, but eye-catching.
Linjer The Classic, Rose Gold/Navy, $249
A new pair of everyday boots
Thursday Boot Company
Every woman needs a pair of ankle boots to get her through the winter. Thursday Boot Company’s Downtown boots are some of the most comfortable I’ve worn; they don’t have any break-in period or cost a lot.
Thursday Boot Company Downtown Boots, $149
A raclette cheese melter
Williams-Sonoma
If the road to her heart is paved with melty cheese, this raclette cheese tower won’t go unappreciated.
Lagrange Raclette Evolution Cheese Tower, $219.95
