Gifts for women
Another classic Valentine’s Day gift: jewelry. Mejuri makes high-quality jewelry that won't break the bank, like these dainty gold pieces with your SO's initials. Simple yet personal bracelets and necklaces like these will pair well with just about any outfit in their suitcase and will last for years to come.
Any wife, girlfriend, or mom will appreciate a new pair of comfortable pajamas. Not only are these a cozy luxury at home, but a polished pair will come in handy on her next vacation. Our editors especially recommend this silky short-sleeve set from Amazon or this long-sleeve option from Eberjey that can be monogrammed. These comfy PJ sets are cute, ultra-soft, and make a thoughtful gift every time.
If you're looking for a Galentine's Day gift for your best friend or mom, a cozy robe is the way to go (though really, who wouldn't appreciate this gift?). This Brooklinen plush robe brings all the comfort of a hotel robe to you. Made of Turkish cotton, it's warm but breathable and is a favorite of our editors. We also love this Luxe Terry robe from Riley Home—it's highly absorbent, meaning it can be thrown on right after you get out of the shower. Choose from classic white, blush pink, and two shades of gray.
Versatile everyday bags are always a welcome gift, especially if your Valentine is always on the go. The red and pale pink colorways of these new Mansur Gavriel mini crossbody and bucket bags scream Valentine's Day and are a fun way to add a pop of color to a simple outfit. These lightweight bags feature adjustable straps and have enough room to fit your phone, wallet, and a few more small essentials.
Gifts for men
Whether you're shopping for your dad or your husband, he'll be grateful to receive a pair of cozy house slippers from Ugg. Made with a soft wool lining, these options will keep his feet warm, while also being temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking.
Here's a winter accessory he'll definitely use, whether he plans to hit the slopes or just needs to stay warm on his next hike. These beanies from Carharrt and Herschel are so soft, well insulated, and the cuffed style adds extra warmth for the ears.
If your husband or boyfriend has been carrying around the same old duffel bag since long before you met, it's time to get him an upgrade. This duffel from Herschel is the perfect bag to pack for weekend trips—it's roomy enough to fit a few outfits, features a separate shoe compartment, and has internal organizers to keep toiletries or tech essentials easy to find. We're also fans of the July Carry All Weekender Plus, which has a clamshell opening to make packing and finding what you need on the go easier than ever.
