Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and now is the perfect time to look for gifts, whether that’s for your significant other, Galentine’s Day celebration, or even the little ones in your life. Show all your loved ones how much you care with a personalized beauty basket, a bundle of self-care supplies, or that one thing they’ve been wanted but haven’t gotten for themselves.
GIFTS FOR HER
If you’re looking for ideas to get your girlfriend, wife, mom, sister, or bestie, we’ve got you covered! Whether she’s always creating new makeup looks, love a good skincare routine, adores the newest and hottest fragrances, or flaunts her locks are her favorite feature, you can mix and match with all different price points and popularity.
MAKEUP
If your lovely lady is a makeup lover, a fresh lipstick, new eyeshadow palette, fun highlighter, or unique mascara can make their day. While skin-matching products like concealers or foundations are a bit tricky when it comes to getting the shade right, makeup with Valentine’s Day-themed packaging are always a great pick, but we also have some general makeup options any girl is sure to adore.
Holika Holika’s Heart Crush Lipstick comes in a variety of shades in melting, velvet, and matte finishes, making it a versatile option you can match to anyone’s personal style. The heart-shaped packaging and product itself makes it a perfect pick for Valentine’s Day.
Speaking of hearts, Sun Smile’s Silicone Heart Puff is an adorable addition to a Valentine’s Day makeup bundle. The silicone glides smoothly and closely against the skin, easily applying and blending any kind of cream of liquid makeup such as foundations, blushes, or contour products.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Instant Look Of Love In A Palette includes three shades for the eyes as well as a bronzer, highlighter, face powder, and blush. These shades easily flatter any skin tone and apply smoothly to create a genuine glowing finish. Plus, no girl can say no to Charlotte Tilbury.
The Benefit Cosmetics Lovetint Cheek & Lip Stain leaves lips with a lovely layer of long-lasting luscious red. This stain can also be blended into the cheeks for a natural-looking matching flush. Stains are all the rage right now, and another plus? This formula won’t smudge or budge as the color lasts for hours without drying out the skin.
Rather than a cliché bouquet of roses, Milani’s Rose Powder Blush will show her that every-lasting love roses symbolize while also giving her a buildable, fine-milled powder seamlessly blends for many multidimensional looks. This blush features richly pigmented matte and shimmer shades that contour and highlight all skin tones with a soft, natural-finish.

FRAGRANCES
Perfumes are a classic option when it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts. There are loads of different fragrances out there, from candy-sweet and linen-fresh to smokey, musky, rich, and warm. You can get her a fresh bottle of her favorite fragrance, or venture into something new.
If you’re not sure which fragrance to pick, these are tried and true best-sellers and popular scents she’s sure to love:
Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl Eau de Parfum is one of the most popular perfumes on the market today. You can watch our review here, but this is an intense, feminine fragrance that is sensual and mysterious with its warm floral and oriental accords. After opening with the overwhelming scent of almond (as well as coffee, bergamot, and lemon), this perfume continues with a breathtaking dance in the heart of tuberose and jasmine sambac (plus orange blossom, iris root, and Bulgarian rose). The base combines notes of tonka bean and cocoa (as well as vanilla, praline, sandalwood, musk, amber, cashmere wood, cinnamon, and cedar) for a sweet, warm, and alluring aroma. This premium composition’s sophistication and haute couture elegance is both multidimensional and deep.
Another scent we’ve reviewed, Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium Eau de Parfum is seductively intoxicating with notes of adrenaline-rich coffee and the sweet sensuality of vanilla that recline into the softness of white flowers for a modern, young, addictive fragrance. This warm, spicy, and sweet gourmand fragrance is edgy and daring.
Thierry Mugler’s Angel Eau de Parfum is a great option for the eco-conscious girl as it’s a refillable perfume. This oriental and gourmand scent opens with citrusy bergamot followed by a heart of rich red berries and a dry-down to sweet vanilla and patchouli. Overall, it exudes delicious and celestial sensuality. You can learn more about it here as well.
Finally, Byredo’s Gypsy Water Eau de Parfum (which again, we have a more in-depth review here) is woody and aromatic, designed as an ode to the nomadic Romani culture. It first opens with bergamot, juniper berries, lemon, and pepper, followed by incense, orris, and pine needles in the heart. The base notes of amber, sandalwood, and vanilla give this composition its distinctly warm and woody scent like a night in the forest spent staring at the stars.

HAIRCARE
Having a good hair day can easily turn around any mood. Put a smile on her face with her favorite shampoo and conditioner set, a new haircare treatment she needs, or a styling tool like a dryer, flat iron, or curling wand to help her create and set her locks just right.
Love Beauty and Planet’s Murumuru Butter and Rose Blooming Color Conditioner minimizes tangles while keeping color-treated hair vibrant and nourished. Rose Petals ethically-sourced from the Rose Valley of Bulgaria give juicy freshness to this fast-rinse conditioner’s formula.
A must-have in every girl’s haircare arsenal is a good dry shampoo for those busy days when there’s no time for a wash. Batiste’s Fruity & Cheeky Cherry Dry Shampoo targets excess oil and grease at the roots to revitalize dull and lifeless hair. It instantly adds a fresh, clean feeling while creating body and texture. This dry shampoo also locks in the subtle, fruity scents of wild berries, kiwi, and rose without being overpowering.
Evo’s Love Touch Shine Spray makes locks lusciously glow with smoothing, glossy shine while sealing the cuticle to improve hair’s humidity resistance and hydration-holding ability. Perfect for any hair type (but especially coarse and thick locks), this featherlight styling spray also protects to help styled ‘dos last longer.
If your lady loves curling her locks, you need to check out T3’s Convertible Base. Infinite styling possibilities start here with this styler’s interchangeable design that can be customized by adding individual T3 styling barrels. There is the traditional Undone Waves 1” Straight Barrel for shiny, long-lasting, undone mermaid waves and the Loose Waves 1.5” Straight Barrel for full-body, glamourous, soft and loose waves, and volume with bend; the unique Tousled Waves 1.25”-0.75” Tapered Barrel for relaxed, tousled, textured waves and the Cascading Waves Convertible Barrel for shiny, long-lasting, beautiful, cascading waves; or the multi-clipped Voluminous Curls Convertible Barrel for bouncy, voluminous bombshell curls.

SKINCARE
More than ever before, beauty lovers are focusing on their skincare over makeup, haircare, or other self-care treatments. There has been a shift to more in-depth analyses of ingredients, formulations, what to look for, and what to avoid.
If you know her skin type, you can check out the recommendations on our blog for normal, dry, oily, and combination skin, but if you need more ideas, we’ve got your back.
Givenchy’s Rose Perfecto Beautifying Lip Balm imparts lasting moisture and fresh color. With rose oil, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, pink pepper, and shea butter, this couture balm melts into the skin and boosts hydration for up to 24 hours as it nourishes, smooths, and plumps for a healthy glow. The marbled shades also come in a soft beige-pink genuine leather case that exudes luxury.
Don’t be fooled; this is not hand or body soap, but the Dr. Botanicals La Rose Francaise Facial Cleansing Bar. This vegan cleansing and exfoliation bar buffs away dead skin cells to reveal a fresh, smooth complexion. Moisture-loving glycerin also hydrates the skin as the scent of juicy strawberries uplift and energize the senses.
For those with normal to oily skin, Tatcha’s The Water Cream creates soft, hydrated, and balanced skin without any stickiness or greasiness. This oil-free moisturizer is packed with pure, powerful Japanese botanicals to refine the skin’s texture, Japanese Wild Rose to visibly tighten the pores and smooths the skin, Japanese Leopard Lily to encourage natural skin turnover and control excess oil, 23-karat gold for a subtle shine-free glow, and finally Hadasei-3, which is a trio of antioxidant-rich Japanese superfoods that create healthier-looking complexions. For Valentine’s Day, this version of The Water Cream also comes in limited-edition packaging.
For another bouquet stand-in, Kocostar’s Rose Flower Slice Sheet Mask features 12 petal-shaped patches for application on areas of dry, dull skin all over the face and body. The western rose flower extract provides a pleasant aroma and nourishing moisturize, and plant extracts soothe the skin and minimize pores. You can get these sheets in packs of one, three, or six as well to make sure she’s always covered when she needs extra hydration.
Sisley Paris’ Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream intensely hydrates even the most sensitive skin with as it transforms into micro water droplets to saturate every cell with energy-awakening moisture. Featuring a generous blend of alkekengi calyx, Padina Pavonica, black rose, and alpine rose extracts—as well as May rosewater, shea oil, and camellia oil—this lightweight cream leaves the skin soft, comfortable, resilient, and bright for a more youthful, beautiful, and fresh complexion.

Nothing says “I care about you” like a self-care bundle of spa day supplies. Show her all the love you have with a care package to help keep her not only looking her best but feeling her best to boot.
Start her spa day with Creed’s Love In White Soap. This hand-milled soap richly lathers and rinses easily away, leaving the skin clean and pleasantly fragrant. The Love in White scent is floral, crisp, and green with top notes of Italian orange zest and a heart of Bulgarian rose, French daffodils, Florentine iris, magnolia, and Tonkin rice. The base of ambergris, sandalwood, and vanilla add a musky depth and sweetness to this fragrance.
Add Bodycology’s Sweet Love Body Wash & Bubble Bath to indulge her with the delicate fragrance of whipped cream and sweet rose. This body wash and bubble bath is enriched with shea butter and vitamin E to gently cleanse the skin and leave it feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.
Help keep her skin soft and hydrated with Jo Malone London’s Tuberose Angelica Body Crème, which is a luxuriously rich, delicately-scented body cream. With jojoba seed, cocoa seed, sweet almond oils, this formula hydrates, nourishes, and protects the skin. The sensual and intoxicating fragrance features the white floral, green, and spicy scent of Tuberose Angelica as well as warm amberwood.
L’Occitane’s Rose Hand Cream is also enriched with nourishing shea butter and melts into the hands to moisturize and protect the skin. This lightweight cream leaves the skin soft and delicately perfumed with the green and floral notes of the Rosa Centifolia from Provence.
Finally, the ThisWorks Love Sleep Pillow Spray will help her fall into a deep sleep with its aromatherapeutic blend of ylang ylang and patchouli.

GIFTS FOR HIM
If you’re looking for ideas to surprise your boyfriend, husband, dad, brother, or bestie, we’ve got you covered! No matter if your guy is a fragrance fanatic and personal grooming guru or he’s gotten into skincare and stylish shaving, you can mix and match to get him a gift he’ll love year after year.
FRAGRANCES
Colognes are a classic gift your significant other will adore almost as much as you. There are a lot of brand and scent options out there for men, but if he doesn’t already have a signature scent as an everyday go-to, we have some of the most popular masculine fragrances on the market today.
Christian Dior’s Sauvage Eau de Parfum is an earthy, woody fragrance inspired by the desert at dusk—cooling as lavish rays of the setting sun burn through the sky. Fresh, zesty, and slightly spicy bergamot melds with sweet, smoky notes of veiling vanilla absolute, enticing amber, and sensual nutmeg to create a perfume that is fresh and warm, promoting a peaceful balance that radiates with calm confidence.
Like walking along a windy beach, Jo Malone London’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne blends a top note of ambrette seeds, a heart of fresh and crisp sea salt, and a base of woody and earthy sage. It evokes images of waves breaking, fresh air speckled with sea spray, and the mineral scent of rugged cliffs to create a lively and sophisticated scent.
Versace’s Eros Eau de Toilette is a fragrance specially designed for passionate and confident men. Top notes of Italian lemon, mandarin, mint oil, and candied apple create a sensual perfume, while an infusion of patchouli, sage, vanilla, and sandalwood adds a spicy, masculine tone. This bold fragrance is elegantly presented in a turquoise and gold bottle with a depiction of the Greek God of Love.
The rich, fruity aroma of Creed’s Aventus Fragrance combines citrus and woody notes for a harmony that inspires a life always looking forward. This unpredictable perfume opens with the echoing juicy and crisp notes of bergamot, blackcurrant leaves, apple, and pineapple. Increasing in warmth, the composition is amplified in the heart with pink berries, birch, patchouli, and jasmine, down to musk, oakmoss, ambergris, and vanilla in the base for a comprehensive impression of confidence and sophisticated energy.

PERSONAL CARE
FACE AND BODY
Skincare is just as important for men as it is for ladies, but many of them don’t take the time to find products that are best for them. Get them started on their skincare journey with products designed for men and their skin’s needs.
SK-II’s Men Facial Treatment Essence takes the original Facial Treatment Essence and specially formulates it for men’s skin needs. This anti-aging, hydrating essence creates crystal-clear skin by minimizing dark spots and wrinkles, refining the skin’s texture, and firming the face. Over 90% of this essence is formulated with PITERA, an SK-II exclusive ingredient that contains more than 50 micro-nutrients like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and organic acids. Skin feels more supple after the first use and is completely transformed in 28 days, with even better anti-aging effects over several years of use. You can also get this facial treatment in the Street Art Limited Edition Design or the Facial Treatment Essence X Andy Warhol design.
Comfort his post-shave skin with Shiseido Men’s Hydrating Lotion, which minimizes razor burns and combats redness and roughness. This water-fresh lotion not only helps keep the skin hydrating, but it also fights against environmental stress for a smooth, supple, and healthy complexion.
Help his signature scent last even long by pairing it with a matching deodorant. Yves Saint Laurent’s Y Deodorant Stick features notes of bergamot, sage, and ginger for sharp and juicy freshness, as well as a soft base of balsam fir, cedarwood, and marine ambergris. It creates a citrusy, woody, and earthy aroma that exudes refined and chic masculinity.
Christian Dior’s Fahrenheit Shower Gel is a luxurious, lightly perfumed body cleanser that gently washes away impurities without drying out the skin. It instantly pampers and invigorates the body with the scent of Sicilian mandarin, violet, and burnt, smoky Russian leather while leaving the skin feeling fresh, smooth, and comfortable.
Sunscreen is the most important step in any skincare routine, and guys are no exception. Clinique For Men’s Broad Spectrum SPF 21 Moisturizer protects skin from the sun’s UV rays while also giving it a boost of hydration.

From shampoos and conditioners made for men to style-setting pomades and gels, if you guy goes gaga for haircare, you have to take a peek here.
A perfect pick for guys just getting into styling their own hair is American Crew’s Forming Cream, which will soften and hydrate his locks for firm yet moveable hold and a thicker, fuller appearance. This is a light styling cream that works with all hair types and washes away with ease while shampooing.

That’s why Oribe’s Cleansing Creme For Moisture & Control gently removes buildup, dirt, and impurities from the scalp without stripping away natural oils. It also defends against oxidative stress, photo-aging, and the deterioration of natural keratin. With the refreshing scent of mint and moisturizing power of coconut oil, this frizz-reducing and balance-improving shampoo leaves locks soft, smooth, and tangle-free to boot.

KIDS, TEENS, AND THE YOUNG AT HEART
While Valentine’s Day is traditionally all about our significant others, it’s always nice to get something extra special for the little ones in our lives to celebrate the holiday of love. Luckily, there are also a lot of gift ideas and options for every age.
BRANDS
If you want to look at all the kid-friendly options we offer, looking at some fun brands is a great place to start.
For younger children, check out The Smurfs, DreamWorks, Disney, Fairy Tales, Hannah Montana, Marmol & Son, Mattel, Marvel, and Nickelodeon. For slightly older kids, try One Direction, Warner Bros, Lip Smacker, DC Comics, or Blossom Beauty.
If you want affordable makeup for your up-and-coming beauty guru, there’s Benefit Cosmetics, Blossom Beauty, CoverGirl, e.l.f., Baseblue, Anna Sui, NYX, and Wet n Wild.
Kids and teens getting into skincare should try Burt’s Bees, Facetory, and CeraVe. Some other great brands include Amika for fun haircare, Bath and Body Works, essie for nail art, and Demeter for scents that resemble anything you can think of.
MAKEUP
If your kid is getting into makeup for the first time, it can be a little daunting. Luckily, these fun options are perfect for anyone just getting started, or those who already have some practice.
beautyblender’s adorable Signature Blend Essentials Set comes with two beauty blenders (in the original hot pink color and neutral Tiramisu) as well as a silicone cleaning scrub mat, Solid Scented Blender Cleanser, and a Beautyblender sponge stand, to keep it off the counter and away from harmful bacteria. The cleansing bar helps to clean the sponge and infuses it with a soothing lavender fragrance as well.
These little palettes are sure to spark creativity in any little artist. Shaped like a paint palette, the Bob Ross Happy Little Eyeshadow Palette and Happy Little Lip Palette feature six shades perfect for creating bold looks, or adding subtle details. The shadows include landscape-like shades such as Touch of Midnight Black, Sap Green, Meadow Stream, Titanium White, Autumn Glory, and Yellow Ochre. The lip colors include sun-like shades such as Firecracker, Yellow Orche, Like a Whisper, Touch of Van Dyke Brown, Beat the Devil Out of It, and Splashes of Autumn.
Make creating makeup looks easier than ever with these mini matte eyeshadow palettes. Each of the L.A. Colors 5 Color Matte Eyeshadow Palettes feature five hues that work well as individual shades and coordinate together in endless possibilities. The shadows are silky soft and blendable with a smooth application.
Combine the best things little makeup lovers can’t get enough of: unicorns and sparkles. The Too Faced Unicorn Horn Mystical Effects Highlighting Stick create an exceptional glow worthy of the most mysterious fantasy worlds. Featuring a smooth, creamy formula and light-trapping particles, this buildable highlighter creates luminous dimension with a lasting pearlescent finish. It’s also enhanced with Too Faced’s unique scent, making it a pleasure for the senses that enhances any fairy tale mood.
