I warned you once, pestered you twice, but V Day is almost here, and so the time to track down the best Valentine’s Day gifts for her is now. And because we’re tight on time, I’ll say it straight: some of us find the sweet and sentimental a little icky. That’s not to say personalised gifts packed with meaning aren’t the perfect gift. Perhaps, you know, we’d just prefer one that makes us cackle with laughter rather than sob uncontrollably in public.
So what do we want? Think chic interior accessories like wine glasses and unique trinkets, cosy pyjama sets, new-in Jellycats and personalised wall art themed around my other love — Miss Olivia Dean. Also acceptable would be letterbox flowers (just no red rose bouquets, please), a luxury gift hamper, or a gift experience that offers the chance to make new memories together, please.
Thankfully for you, I’ve rounded up the best romantic gifts to make your Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) Day shopping swift and easy. And yes, all are guaranteed to arrive ahead of February 14th.
So, whether shopping for your wife, girlfriend or boyfriend (yep, we’ve got these loved ones covered too, with our round-up of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for him), I’ve found unique gifts that aren’t at all cringeworthy or cliché. And before you ask, yes, we’re still skipping gift cards.
So, read on for my edit of failsafe Valentine’s Day gifts for 2026 — including gifts under £50 and gifts under £100, because blowing your budget doesn’t show you love me more.

How I choose the best Valentine’s Day gifts for her:
When reviewing products — this includes TikTok-acclaimed beauty, new-in clothing, aesthetic homeware and AI-powered sex toys — I consider them all against the following criteria:
Essentially, you can also be reassured that only products and brands I genuinely love and would recommend to friends make it into the Glamour Gift Shop.
Why you can trust me:
It’s been my job to review new launches and best-selling products for the last two years — that’s 14 months at Glamour and a year elsewhere — meaning I’ve tested everything from new sexual wellness launches to running trainers, menstrual products (AKA period pants) and literally thousands of gifts. The reason? To create easy-to-shop edits that spare you hours of doom-scrolling.
