Love it or hate it, the heart-shaped boxes of chocolate roll out right after New Year’s, and it’s never too early to start looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
It’s not too late (yet) to make a reservation at the hottest spot in town, but you could always plan to cook something romantic at home. And you may as well lock down the perfect present for your boyfriend, girlfriend, just plain friend, your mom, or even yourself, ASAP (because you know soon it’ll be Feb. 10 and you’ll wonder where the time went). Even if you hate Valentine’s Day with a passion, it’s still a great excuse to show a little love.
These Valentine’s Day gift guides are full of exciting, adorable, inspiring, and just plain delicious options for her, for him, for you, for everyone—whether you crave something sweet, savory, expensive, practical, or just plain unusual. We’ll be updating each individual guide below throughout the week (and adding new options on through Valentine’s Day—and Galentine’s Day—2020), so you’re sure to find the perfect present to show you care.
