Our 15 Favorite Valentine’s Day Gifts and Date Ideas (2025)

Valentine’s Day can be an easy-to-forget holiday. Whether you’re trying to give a thoughtful gift, figure out an at-home date night, or set the mood for the night ahead, there’s a lot to juggle when it comes to nailing Valentine’s Day. Especially since it falls on a Friday this year, you’ll want to have the perfect night already planned before the weekend gets booked up.

Personally, I’m an at-home kind of Valentine’s Day gal—somewhere between the pandemic and parenthood, I fell in love with a cozy night in with a home-cooked meal and fun activity. There are ideas for that in this guide if you’re on my wavelength, but also ideas for thoughtful gifts ranging from cool gadgets to classic flowers and chocolates that will arrive at your front door, gifts that set a sexier mood (and we’ve got a whole guide to sexy gifts if you want more ideas in that vein), and even a date night box that will help you think of reasons to leave the house. There’s no shortage of ways to get romantic this February with the help of our guides.
