Valentine’s Day gifts have a habit of missing the mark (read: being terrible). Too safe, unwearable, or so aggressively romantic they feel like something from a Hallmark movie and induce a slight vommy feeling.
This is a cheat sheet for gifts she’ll actually want: the stuff she’ll wear, use and quietly show off, rather than smile politely and internally cringe at. Whether she’s a gym bunny, a beauty buff or a Fashion Week fanatic, the failsafe gifts to elicit a smile. The best part? The credit is all yours. We won’t tell if you don’t…
For beauty lovers
This great-value set (worth £69) by a cool, credible brand she already knows (and undoubtedly wants more of) will put your straight in her good books.
Juliet Has A Gun is where all the It-girls perfume shop, and this pretty pink bottle is a fab choice for Valentine’s.
The ultimate quiet-luxury present, this weighted sleep mask ensures your partner will get restful shut eye – and wake up glowing.
Not that glamorous but genuinely useful, this set to stop her hairline and sleeves getting wet while doing her skincare is the sort of low-key beauty gift that proves you’ve been paying attention.
Want a gift that’s going to make her swoon (and come in gorgeous packaging)? Just the word ‘Dior’ is enough to please any woman – and this pretty pink lip set will become her everyday go-to.
For fitness bunnies
The only leggings guaranteed to satisfy any gym girl. Extra points if you buy the matching sports bra.
Perfect for the yoga loving girlfriend, given it’s both super chic and light to lug around. She’ll be the envy of all her classmates.
No, socks aren’t a naff present. Especially if they’re these chic branded ones from Adanola, perfect for tucking her leggings into.
This water bottle is so cool it doesn’t even look like a water bottle, but a sculptural home accessory. And it’s metal, so sturdier and healthier.
This powerful, pocket-sized massage gun is sure to stop her complaining about post-run aches and pains. So really, it’s a gift for you.

For home birds
Anything from Le Creuset is a total go with interiors lovers, and these cute mugs give lover boy vibes, too.
The perfect gift for book lovers, this literary vase is available as many different titles. Show how well you know her by picking her fave.
This non-toxic mini oven air fries, bakes, roasts, toasts, broils, and reheats, and looks super cute while doing so. If your partner is an aspiring baker, this is about to take her Instagram game to a whole new level.
Super fluffy, hence super comfy, and featuring every girl’s favourite tipple: Aperol. What’s not to love?
Update: Jo Malone candles aren’t cool anymore (sorry). This trendy (and cheaper) Earl of East candle will look way better on her Instagram story.
For fashionistas
Basic gold hoops are officially boring. These heart-shaped ones feel flirty and fashion-y, and will elevate her look on your next date night.

Every woman, I repeat, EVERY woman is lusting after this bag. Even though it’s named after a boomer.
A charcoal cashmere triangle scarf is the kind of quietly chic gift she’ll wear on repeat, and this one soft, minimal and expensive-looking. If she’s been watching The Traitors and saying ‘Doesn’t Claudia look nice,’ she’ll want this.
This tie-neck knit in dusty pink is soft, flattering and easy to wear, and she’ll be incredibly grateful when getting ready in the morning.
