When it comes to the five love languages, gift-giving tends to get a bad rap. People assume it’s a materialistic method of showing that you care, but it’s so much more than that: A thoughtfully chosen gift says, “I see you” in a way that words sometimes can’t. Whether it’s a simple token or a luxurious gesture, a well-picked present speaks volumes — especially if receiving presents is the love language your giftee responds to.
We’d advise you to find out if they fall into that category, and if they do, know that they take presents pretty seriously. Don’t panic, though. We’ve compiled items that will wow any woman — gift-oriented or not — including the latest in beauty, the hottest tech gadgets of 2025 (so far), and finds so fashionable that they’ll impress any Carrie Bradshaw type. We also tapped Katie for her expertise on show-stopping gifts the ladies in your life will cherish — and use eternally.
Fall in love with our complete Valentine’s Day Gift Guide.
Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Women 2025
Everlane Ballet Mule
Everlane
Shoes can make for a tricky gift, but when it’s a style that’s this classic, they’re sure to be a hit. As long as you know your recipients size, we think they’d be thrilled to receive this updated take on a ballet flat. The red suede adds a punch of color and texture to any outfit, and because they don’t have a heel, they’re extremely comfortable.
Anthropologie Bistro Tile Tea Towel
Anthropologie
Any frequent host or Francophile will appreciate one of these Parisian café-inspired tea towels. Mosaic tile details and heart details makes it stand out in the kitchen — it’s pretty enough to keep out year, round, too.
Jenni Kayne Peyton Cardigan
Jenni Kayne
This luxurious cashmere cardigan is designed to feel as cozy as a hug from your favorite person. Perfect for layering or wearing solo, this wardrobe staple works overtime — suitable for long days of lounging or as a topper for a work outfit. Consider it a gift that’s guaranteed to be worn and loved for seasons to come, making it worthy of the admittedly high price.
Merit Retrospect
Merit
Developed in Paris by scent experts, this long-lasting fragrance from Merit has a clean, skin-like scent that’s completely unforgettable. Juicy notes of bergamot, pear, and ambrette entangle themselves with powdery florals like jasmine and rose, all while being grounded in base notes of musk, vanilla, and moss. Hard to describe and even harder to forget, this l’extrait de parfum makes for a stunning gift for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.*
UrbanStems Flowers
UrbanStems
It’s hard to be away from loved ones on any given day, but especially on Valentine’s Day. Show your girlfriends, family, or anyone you’re thinking of that they’re on your mind this holiday, by sending them a brilliant bouquet like this one.
Bey-Berk Leather Jewelry Case
Gilt
Nobody likes untangling necklaces and bracelets that have somehow turned themselves into a Gordian knot-level challenge. This convenient case keeps all sorts of baubles organized and tangle-free, and it makes traveling with accessories easier than ever. Is your giftee not much of a jewelry wearer? Gilt curated an exclusive list of other things they may love, like self-cooling wine tumblers and designer perfumes, all at a fraction of the original price.
N.Peal Cashmere Stole
Farfetch
Katie loves the versatility of wide scarves because they can protect just your neck or cover your entire torso. She’s been gifting this lightweight one from N.Peal because it can be worn year-round, and it’s a handy travel accessory: It’s so big, it can act as a blanket on chilly flights.
We’re Not Really Strangers Card Game
Amazon
What if your gift could bring you and your giftee — and anyone else in your inner circle — closer together? We’re Not Really Strangers is a prompt-based card game designed to take the awkwardness out of deep conversations, helping players connect on a more-intimate level. This edition features general questions anyone could answer, but there are also versions for couples, friends, and families. Think of it as one of those “questions you should ask your partner” lists, but way more fun and way less daunting.
lululemon Adjustable Mini Shoulder Bag
lululemon
We’ve lived through the resurgence of the belt bag, and now the era of the “improved shoulder bag” begins. This hands-free upgrade is just big enough for the essentials — like a phone, wallet, and some beauty items — but doesn’t feel unwieldy or bulky. The simple style is versatile enough to pair with a casual outfit or something more dressed up, and comes with an extra strap, should your recipient want to turn it into a crossbody bag.
Republic of Tea Ginger Peach Black Tea
Republic of Tea
Katie swears by food and drinks as gifts — and we can see why. How often do you splurge on the more-luxurious items in the grocery store? (You might pick up that fancy box of assorted teas from some far corner of the globe, but talk yourself out of it later.) So treat your loved one to that special tea they won’t buy for themselves. This tea is one of Katie’s favorites, and she likes to pair it with a cute mug or teapot when gifting it. Not only is the ginger peach drink tasty, but it tells your giftee you care about them — and extending their life, apparently.
Apple AirPods 4
Amazon
It took them years, but Apple finally released an update to their beloved AirPods. This specific version has improved noise cancellation with clearer, crisper sound, all while maintaining the sleek design and comfortable fit we know and love.
Soft Services Theraplush Hold Hand Cream
Soft Services
Most lotions come in giant bottles or tubes that can lead to messy drips and wasted product, but this ingenious pump ensures you get the ideal amount of a nourishing hand cream each time. This one even works overnight to moisturize and protect skin from everyday wear and tear. It has a subtle woodsy-musk scent, and this edition comes in a pretty pink dispenser, fitting for V-Day.
Fran’s Gray and Smoked Salt Caramels
Sur La Table
These aren’t your average chocolates: They’re mini works of edible art. Decadent dark chocolate pairs perfectly with the buttery caramel interior, and it’s all finished off with a flavorful gray salt garnish, to create that salty-sweet pairing everyone craves.
Diptyque Roses Large Candle
Nordstrom
While roses are a classic Valentine’s gift, this rose-scented candle outlasts any bouquet and smells just as heavenly. Housed in a reusable pink ceramic vessel, it’s crafted with soy wax and infused with perfume-grade fragrance oils, filling any room with an intoxicating scent. Plus, the jumbo size ensures more than 90 hours of burn time.
Quince 14K Gold Diamond Bezel Bracelet
Quince
Subtle and sophisticated, this gold bracelet adorned with five diamonds will please just about anyone. The dainty chain won’t compete with any other jewelry they wear, and it’s adjustable, so it can be worn as snug or as loose as they’d like.
Happi Lemon Elderflower THC Seltzer
Happi
Planning a romantic date night in is always a good idea, but replace that bottle of wine with a beverage that’s equally relaxing, without the negative side effects of alcohol. This THC seltzer is made with hemp extract to help take the edge off and feel a little more blissful, which is a Valentine’s Day necessity.
Kate Spade Ava Wallet
Kate Spade
Sleek, practical, and thoughtful? Sounds like a slam-dunk gift. Despite its small size, this wallet can hold plenty of cards and bills, and even has a zippered spot for coins. We bet every time they open it they’ll think of you — and consider treating you to something nice, too.
Chanel Ultimate Allure Makeup Set
Chanel
Chanel’s iconic font is recognizable worldwide, so imagine the thrill of seeing it in your own purse every day. This luxe makeup case — crafted from the brand’s signature tweed fabric — is a showstopper on its own, but it gets even better: It’s filled with a stunning red lipstick and lengthening mascara. Très chic.
Quince Cashmere Straight Leg Pants
Quince
One of our favorite categories of clothing is “pieces that feel like pajamas, but don’t look like them.” We’re working on trimming down that name, but until then, we’ll be singing the praises of these cashmere sweatpants. The straight fit looks more refined than a wide-leg or jogger, and reviewers say they’re easy to style and get softer with each wear.
Tory Burch Miller Apple Watch Band
Nordstrom
Turn their Apple Watch into a tasteful accessory with this stainless-steel band. Because of the material, it won’t ever turn their wrist green or tarnish, and the quick-release clasp makes it easy to put on and take off with one hand. We love an item that encourages independence.
Anthropologie Icon Juice Glass
Anthropologie
Cheers to love! This playful juice glass is perfect for bubbly, mocktails, or anything in-between. At just $16 each, grab a few of these to gift to loved ones and pair them with your recipient’s favorite beverage for a truly celebratory moment.
Petite Plume Silk Robe
Petite Plume
Ever dreamed of being a fabulously wealthy socialite who eats bonbons for breakfast? This lace-adorned silk robe is the ideal outfit for pretending to be just that. It gives major femme fatale vibes, leaning sexy and mysterious — even if you just throw it over your pajamas to take the dog out in the morning.
Golde Shroom Shield Mocha Latte Mix
Golde
Know someone looking for an alternative to their morning coffee? Golde’s latte mix tastes like a delightful mocha (some reviewers describe the flavor as similar to hot chocolate), but it’s packed with powerful adaptogens and antioxidants that support immune health, mood, stress defense, and overall wellness. Certain fans say they even add it to their coffee, for flavor and the focus-enhancing benefits.
Mori Love Heart Pajama Set
Mori
This gift serves multiple purposes. If she sleeps best in silky soft pajamas, she’ll be over the moon when she feels how smooth this modal set is. If you need further evidence of how truly comfy they’ll be, the brand is beloved for the baby clothes, meaning they know a thing or two about soothing textiles. The limited edition heart pattern will remind her of the love you hold for her. And if you also want to finally give her the gift of that cheesy matching pajamas family photo, you’re in luck: This pattern is available in joggers for men, sets for kids, and onesies for babies.
