Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Him or Her

February 5, 2025

If you’re doing a search and need some fabulous Valentine’s Day gift ideas for Him or Her that won’t break the bank, you’ve come to the right place. I put together a list of items for both sexes that are affordable and guaranteed to make your other half happy. But don’t wait another minute to place your order! Valentine’s Day is just about a week away and you don’t want anyone thinking you’ve forgotten about them.

My husband tends to order flowers for me for Valentine’s Day. I do love fresh flowers, but really hate that they don’t get to live long. I might request that in the future he buys me a plant instead so I can enjoy it for a longer amount of time (potentially even years).

 Below are a few things that I think make sweet gifts to give a special someone to let her know that you care on this day of love.

A pink-themed collage of Valentine's gifts for her, including a Keurig coffee maker, heart necklace, pink wine glasses, skincare items, candle, pink robe, silk pillowcase, insulated tumbler, makeup items, and a gift set with a mug and coffee.

A pink Keurig coffee maker brewing coffee into a white mug. The mug sits on the machine's drip tray, and steam is visible rising from the coffee being dispensed.

A box of Grace & Stella Moisturizing Eye Masks is displayed with several sachets and two pink crescent-shaped gel masks in front. The packaging is pink with black text and the tagline "Everything is better in pink.
A light pink satin pillowcase and its packaging are displayed. The pillowcase has a smooth, shiny texture, and the packaging highlights a "600 thread count" with details about the product.
Four elegant pink tinted coupe glasses, one filled with an amber-colored drink garnished with herbs and a raspberry, set against a plain white background.

A tall, pale pink travel mug with a handle and a clear lid. The word "Stanley" is printed vertically in pink on the side. The mug has a tapered bottom, suitable for cup holders.

Now let’s move on to the men. I always have a hard time shopping for my husband. He truly has everything he wants or needs already, but I like to get a little something every year to at least show that I care and that I put in some effort to acknowledging the holiday. These are a few of my picks for Valentine’s day gifts for the men…

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

I'm excited to share with you my latest obsession - Lysse New York! Their clothing’s won me over with its beauty, quality and comfort.

This wide leg style is a favorite of mine. Are you a fan too?

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️

Who else is ready for Summer?😎👙🍉🌻👗⛱️🧴☀️

There’s just something about the long slow days and nights of summer that brings back so many fond memories over the past 60 years.

Next week is Memorial Day weekend which I think officially kicks off the season with outdoor bbqs, swimming all day, popsicles, sundresses and sleeveless tops, beach days, vacations and unfortunately, mosquitoes.

What’s one of your favorite summer memories?🥰
