Let's face it: Finding a Valentine's Day gift for her (whether it be your S.O., bestie, sister, or mom) that isn't a cheesy box of chocolates or a basic bouquet of roses feels impossible these days. You want something that'll give off sweet and possibly romantic vibes while being practical, functional, and affordable...which can be pretty difficult when social media has set the bar with vacations and luxury bags galore. There's a lot of pressure, to say the least. But, you're doing great sweetie, because you've landed on this guide that has 50 thoughtful and unique Valentine's Day gifts she'll be totally wooed by.
There are so many routes you can take with a Valentine's Day gift. You can go with a personalized present, something that promotes self-care, jewelry, an activity the both of you can do, or that thing she’s been eyeing for a while. However, if the goal is to tear at her heartstrings, I recommend getting them a custom book about your love story or a puzzle with a picture of the two of you. You'll get front-row tickets to the waterworks show with those for sure! As long as it'll make her feel all mushy inside, then you're golden.
Ahead, the ultimate Valentine's Day gift list for the special gal in your life awaits. Warning: Her standards will be very high after this year's V-Day gift!

Generic Pet Personalized Pillow
A personalized gift is always the move. But if you’re looking for something less serious than monogrammed jewelry, consider a pillow featuring their real Valentine (aka their furbaby). It’s cute, it’s fun, and it’s totally unserious (even if you two are totally serious about each other).
Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw
She 100 percent has her eye on an Owala water bottle if she doesn't own one already. (And even if she does, how cute is this pink colorway?)

Love Potion Minimalist Jar Soy Candle
Although you won't need an actual love potion to make them fall head over heels for you, the floral scent of this candle is hypnotizing. Once they smell the sweet notes of jasmine, lavender, and mandarin, they'll be transported to a secret garden.
