Miklu Silvanto, Oura’s chief design officer, says incorporating advanced computing power into a tiny ring is a major challenge. It’s just as challenging to make a ring that people will actually want to wear around the clock. So Silvanto, an industrial design veteran who has worked at Apple and Bang & Olufsen, must also think of himself as a jewelry designer.
“A ring is such an intimate object,” he says. “You might wear it alongside your wedding ring. You need to think comfort, and beauty, and fashion.”
On October 1, Oura launches a new collection of ceramic rings that are more fashion-forward than its previous ones, which resemble metallic wedding bands. Since ceramic takes well to color, the new rings come in an array of hues, including petal pink, tide green, cloud white, and midnight blue. The company has also developed a new software feature that will allow wearers to switch between rings seamlessly, without losing any data.[Image: Oura]
These new rings cost $499, while the metallic versions are priced between $350 and $500 depending on the finish. Users must also pay $70 annually to use the app that presents their health data, analysis, and advice. Given how expensive this product is, the idea of switching rings based on your outfit of the day may be an affordable reality to only a small, wealthy slice of the population, epitomized by some of the most famous Oura wearers—Mark Zuckerberg, Kim Kardashian, Prince Harry, and Gwyneth Paltrow, to name a few.

Still, the rings are resonating with consumers around the world. Oura sold 2.5 million rings last year, making up half of its total sales since 2015. And the company expects to generate $1 billion in sales this year, making it one of the biggest players in the wearable technology industry. After its $825 million Series E round, it’s now valued at $11 billion.

The Tiniest Computer
For a designer like Silvanto, working on a smart ring involves incorporating as much technology as possible into the tiniest of products. When Oura launched a decade ago as a Kickstarter project, its first ring was much chunkier and could monitor only sleep and daily activity.[Image: Oura]
Since then, the Oura’s designers have managed to make the ring smaller. Both the metal rings and the new ceramic ones are roughly 8 millimeters wide, 2 millimeters thick, and weigh between 5 and 8 grams depending on the size. And the rings are able to track around 50 biometrics. To do this, they use several sensors, including an infrared LED that measures blood oxygen levels, green and infrared PPG (photoplethysmogram) sensors that track heart rate, a digital thermometer that measures body temperature, and a sensitive accelerometer that tracks movement.
Oura has benefited from broader changes in the technology industry that has been working toward miniaturization. (This is similar to what has been happening at, say, Dyson, which is incorporating more and more powerful motors into smaller hairdryers and vacuums.)

Silvanto says Oura has focused on incorporating this tech into a design that is as comfortable and beautiful as possible. The new rings are made from zirconia ceramic, which is significantly harder and more durable than the ceramic used for vases and dishware. The rings are shaped and then fired in a kiln, which chemically transforms them into the harder material. (In fact, it is so hard that it can take on the properties of softer metals.)
Silvanto stresses the appeal of the material’s ability to take on colors. The four hues in the new collection are glossy and vibrant. If Oura’s metallic rings look like simple wedding bands, these ceramic rings evoke the color of gemstones. It’s jewelry that allows users to express their tastes and aesthetic preferences.

Oura ring as fashion object
Now that Oura is framing its rings as fashion objects, it wanted to ensure users were able to easily swap them on a daily basis to go with their various styles or moods. Silvanto says creating a system that would allow users to change rings while keeping all their data intact wasn’t simple. Data is stored in the ring itself, in the app, and in the cloud. “When a user switches between rings, all of this data needs to be synchronized to ensure that the tracking would be accurate,” he says. (This new data-synching capability is live on iOS apps today and will be available on Android starting October 20.)
While the new ceramic designs are a significant launch for Oura, Silvanto says his team is already focused on dreaming up the company’s next-gen rings. As sensor technology continues to shrink, rings will become even thinner. And the team will continue to work on making them as stylish and fashion-forward as possible. “The best ring is one that people actually want to wear,” Silvanto says. “And to do that, you need to think beyond technology and about culture.”

Orlando, are you beginning to eye your holiday shopping lists with a heavy sigh of dread? Forget about the big-box shops and chuck your phone in the toilet (maybe do that anyway just to get away from all the AI), because there are plenty of quirky, unique and creative options for presents that are locally rooted, eclectic and — crucially — fun. Here are 10 items for all tastes that see Santa repping Orlando in a festively fervent fashion.
Born Human: The Life and Music of Death’s Chuck Schuldiner, David E. Gehlke (Decibel Books, 2025)
Though it’s been a matter of gospel among Florida metal maniacs for many years now, Born Human, the new fully authorized biography of Orlando metal magus Chuck Schuldiner, sets the record straight in gloriously inky splendor: The template for Florida death metal was first bashed out in an unassuming garage in Altamonte Springs by guitarist Schuldiner and two confederate degenerates. That trio would eventually morph into tech-death overlords, ahem, Death, and that’s only the beginning of the story. This account of the far-too-short life of Schuldiner — he passed away from brain cancer in 2001 — was published with the cooperation of Schuldiner’s friends and family, with tons of in-depth interviews and unseen photos. Get yourself some civic pride on the darker side. And we spied a couple of copies in stock at Park Ave CDs over the weekend, so you can keep your dollars extra local. (decibelmagazine.com)
Endless Cherry Pie mead from Zymarium
Forget showing up at a family or friends gift-giving session with some impersonal bottle of wine from a big-box or liquor store. Keep your dollars local and present your giftee instead with an elegantly bottled mead from Zymarium. The Mills 50 meadery and taproom has several holiday blends made in-house and bottled with gothic grandeur worthy of the Ghost of Christmas Future. The tastes that summon up the most vividly cozy holiday memories are Endless Cherry Pie and Endless Apple Pie. The honey-based adult beverages are light on the palate, medium on the alcohol by volume, and sure to be a hit. (1121 N. Mills Ave., zymarium.com)
Jon Napoles painting on glass
OK, maybe the ship has sailed on this as a Christmas gift, but keep them in mind for any gift-giving occasion. Jon Napoles began making his unique and eccentric art over a decade ago, after leaving a job flipping houses (a noble transition, if we may say so). It was a particularly poetic move in that his paintings eschew canvases and instead use reclaimed household windowpanes, on which Napoles paints florid and rough-hewn renderings of a fantastical world populated by abstract and otherworldly cats, birds, horses, stars and whiskey bottles. He’s a longtime local favorite and a regular at markets like Indie-Folkfest and Grandma Party Bazaar, but if you miss out, try contacting him via his website. (jonnapart.com)
Doug Rhodehamel Fishmas ornament
For years, a Rhodehamel fish on your holiday tree has been an IYKYK badge of honor for Orlando cognoscenti. Now everyone can get in on the fun as Doug democratizes his sustainable vision and offers the masses a chance to decorate with extra joy — the joy of knowing your ornaments are bringing new life to discarded materials. This year, they’re popping up in various colors, shapes and materials (metal, wire, plastic, cardboard) at not-so-secret locations around town — follow Rhodehamel on Instagram to see where they’ll be swimming next.

Planet Moon Rock Craft Club
Now, on the other hand, if you have your own vision for giftable holiday ornaments, book into Planet Moon Rock’s December Craft Club. From 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, at Creative Jane Art Studio (1781 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park), you can make the hanging trinkets, tree toppers, and garlands of your own very weird and hyperspecific Orlando dreams. Planet Moon Rock will provide expert guidance and hot glue along with felt, ribbon, paper, glitter, rhinestones, pompoms, googly eyes and the rest. If you can’t make it to the club night, may we suggest Planet Moon Rock’s signature Bedazzled Gloopy Lighters? Nothing better to light the Yule Log. (planetmoonrock.com; creativejaneart.com)
Beefy King T-shirt
Snagging a Beefy King tee isn’t just about getting a shirt, it’s about owning a piece of Orlando history. Beefy King has been dishing up its legendary (and affordable) steamed roast-beef sandwiches in the Milk District since 1968, and through three generations of ownership, has stayed stubbornly true to its retro, no-frills tasty charm. This T-shirt and related merch is only sold in the restaurant; it comes in several colors, but the red-and-green Christmas version is especially tasty. For locals or transplants alike, it’s an easy way to rep some civic pride while grabbing a sandwich where Orlandoans have for decades. (424 N. Bumby Ave., beefykingorlando.com)
Winter Wonderland cocktail glasses
Ring-a-ding-ding in the holiday season, pally, with this set of delightfully kitschy cocktail glasses from Central Florida hepcats Atomic Drinkware. Renowned for painstakingly hand-painted Libby glasses — made in the U.S.A., no less — that are both on the right side of spooky and retro, this is the best of Atomic’s diverse slate of seasonal offerings. Adorned with artfully rendered pink and fuchsia “mid-century style” aluminum Christmas trees — the type that Charlie Brown scorned but we now covet — these Collins glasses are perfect for mulled wine, cocktails or even maybe a glass of milk for Santa. (atomicdrinkware.com)
Local landmark art prints from Sandhill Supply Co.
A mere $20 will nab you a gorgeous and sleek pen-and-ink stylized art print of the iconic facade of Park Ave CDs or one of a handful of other iconic locations from print mavens Sandhill Supply Co. Rendered with minimalist flair and clean lines, these illustrations are printed by (also) locals Rebel Reprints. Sandhill, the creative outlet of Ashlley and Kevin Lemke, specializes in whimsical and precise design work of familiar places and things. And yes, while you can easily nab these on the internet, we recommend instead you make a trip to Framework Coffee (1201 N. Mills Ave.) where these are sold in-person, and where you can browse all of Sandhill’s offerings, including stickers, pins, keychains and the like. (sandhillsupplyco.com)
“Welcome to Orlando” coasters from Freehand Goods

Whether someone’s a longtime local or new to town, these coasters make a subtle but meaningful gift. (2445 Edgewater Drive, freehandgoods.com)

Gifts for men that men actually want, organized by price.
Asking for gifts gets trickier as you get older. If it’s affordable, you’ve likely already bought it. If it’s expensive, you probably don’t feel right asking. And now you’re here, being begged for “ideas” while looking for something that won’t make you feel like they just lit a $50 bill on fire.
Suggesting gifts that actually mean something to you, especially when they’ve asked for some ideas a few times now? It’s considerate, not selfish.
Most men’s gift guides, though? Let’s be honest: they’re full of overpriced gadgets, trendy nonsense, and random picks that look good as a vibe but no one asks for. Not everyone’s dropping a grand on gifts for their brother-in-law.
That’s why we’ve put together a gift guide that’s practical, thoughtful, and filled with ideas for things you might not have but definitely could use. From affordable, clever gadgets to quality-of-life upgrades, everything here was chosen to be useful all year, not just in December. And yeah, most of it won’t break the bank either.
→ Not sure what to get? Start by asking yourself what they love, what they do often, and what would genuinely surprise them. For a deeper dive into giving gifts that actually land, check out our How to Give a Great Gift Every Time framework: it breaks down the six types of gifts that show you really know someone.
Ah, the dreaded gift-giving season. It seems like I always see it coming in the beginning of November and then somehow wake up two weeks into December having not thought about it since. Then I do the standard add-to-cart disappointment knowing my procrastination has limited my arrive-on-time options to this bathrobe.
It’s not that I don’t love giving gifts…I do. But somewhere between the perfect wine for your boss’s housewarming and the ideal present for a niece I’m pretty sure has been 11 years old for 5 years, the fun of gift-giving gets lost under a pile of should’s and supposed to’s.
We’ve inflated the act to Kris Kringlean proportions. It’s no longer enough to give something from the heart, no, it must be The Best Gift Ever™, especially if it’s for a milestone like a wedding or, heaven forbid, a Sweet Sixteen.
The pressure mounts until collectively we give up and it feels like we’re not exchanging gifts, but swapping gift cards in similar amounts. “Thank you for the $50 Home Depot gift card. Here is a $50 Lowes gift card.”
But here’s the inside scoop: gift-buying doesn’t have to be a sweat-inducing race against time. There’s a method to the madness, a framework, if you will. Whether you’re shopping for a spouse, mom, dad, your second cousin twice removed, or that neighbor who always says hello when you’re both grabbing the mail, this six-tiered strategy is your golden ticket to gifting glory.
I promise you, it’s better than the panic-purchase of bath bombs you were considering. And who knows, you might just start looking forward to the next birthday on the calendar. (Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.)
1. Things That Show You Know Them
Imagine gifting as less of an exchange of pleasantries and more like a secret handshake, a nod to the private jokes and shared histories that define our relationships.
Or for the pal who bakes for every get-together, a premium hauling solution to replace the old grocery store bags.
It’s like handing them a piece of their soul in a box…that sounded less creepy in my head.
→ Start here
What inside jokes, habits, or quirks define your relationship? (Example: the friend who always orders the same thing at brunch but insists they’re “mixing it up.”)
What do they talk about without realizing they talk about it often? (Example: the band they keep saying they’ll see live “next time they tour.”)
What would make them say, “How did you even remember that?” (Example: the childhood candy they mentioned once and never again.)
2. Things They’d Like to Have But Have Not Justified
We all have that one thing that’s been sitting in our online shopping cart for months, the “treat yo’ self” whisper we keep shushing. It’s the Xbox for the buddy who’s an honorary member of your couch come game night but doesn’t have the console at home.
Or maybe it’s the set of professional paintbrushes for the friend who’s still using the freebies from the art store’s grand opening. This is your cue to be the enabler of their deferred dreams, in the most positive, life-affirming way, of course.
→ Start here
What have they shown an interest in but not allowed themselves to jump in? (Example: a pickleball racket for the person who wants more social hobbies)
What do they always admire but never actually buy? (Example: the pasta maker that would allow them to jump into homemade pasta)
What hobby or interest would get an instant boost with a small nudge? (Example: premium flower arranging tools and gear for the sibling whose apartment always has fresh stems in a vase.)
3. Things They Like But Are Expensive to Replace Regularly
You’re gifting them the nod to luxuriate without the guilt. It’s improving the quality of something they use regularly, but can’t justify buying the nicer stuff. It’s the gift of daily indulgence with a bow on top.
→ Start here
What do they savor or stretch out because the nicer version feels out of reach? (Example: the expensive spice blend they treat like it’s gold dust or the whiskey they only use for special occasion old fashioneds.)
What daily ritual of theirs would feel easier or more enjoyable with an upgrade? (Example: anything from Aesop.)
What item do they always mention in passing as “a bit of a splurge”? (Example: a wagyu or USDA Prime ribeye steak.)
4. Things That Connect Them With Who They Are
But then, there’s the art of gifting that serves as a bridge to one’s heritage and history, a phyiscal link to their identity. Imagine presenting a beautiful painting or framed vintage photograph of Grandma’s lake cabin. Or a thoughtfully selected book, like a coffee table piece on the area the family is from, or a historical read about the unit Grandpa served in.
There’s also the charm of gifting something that carries the weight of tradition, like a new scarf woven in the ancestral tartan. Or maybe a piece of jewelry that commemorates family past and present. These gifts do what bath bombs never could: They speak without words, saying, “I see you, and I honor where you come from.”
→ Start here
What family stories, places, or traditions come up when they describe where they came from? (Example: the porch swing at their great grandparents’ home they reminisce with surprising warmth.)
What object or memory would feel meaningful to see honored in a new way? (Example: that old family recipe written in fading handwriting.)
What part of their identity deserves a thoughtful nod at this stage in life? (Example: the neighborhood or city that shaped who they became.)
5. Things That Are Useful, That They Do Not Know Exist
It’s the high-tech plant sensor for the friend whose thumb could not be less green, or a smart thermometer that allows Dad to watch the grill while participating with family. You’re not just solving a problem they knew they had; you’re the wise wizard bestowing upon them a magic they didn’t even know was possible.
→ Start here
What do they complain about without realizing there’s a fix? (Example: the constant hunt for their keys.)
What task always sparks frustration or unnecessary effort? (Example: checking soil moisture with “vibes” instead of data.)
What simple tool or upgrade would quietly make their day easier? (Example: a premium all-in-one stand that finally charges all their devices in one spot.)
6. Things They Can Use to Improve Their Lot
And finally, there’s the gift of potential, the kind that says, “I believe in you and your crazy dreams.” It’s the digital marketing course for artists for the too-scared-to-start Etsy seller, or a membership to a makerspace for the DIY enthusiast without room for a toolbench.
Or perhaps you’re a photography aficionado and you have a younger relative that’s gotten very into shooting but has only been able to acquire the very basics of tools: Lens filters, a Capture One license, or cold shoe accessories can introduce them to the next level.
→ Start here
What dream do they revisit even when they pretend they aren’t thinking about it? (Example: the cookbook they swear they’ll write “one day.”)
What skill, tool, or resource would remove one obstacle for them? (Example: a dribble trainer.)
What would support their next step without overwhelming them? (Example: a digital course instead of a full certification program.)
These are the gifts that don’t end up on a shelf but propel, push, and inspire. Because what better gift is there than the belief in someone’s uncharted potential?
A Closing Note
Most people don’t need a grand gesture, they need someone who pays attention. Small observations lead to the most memorable gifts. Curiosity does the heavy lifting. And if things spiral, the bathrobe is still there, waiting patiently in your cart.
This isn’t a list of the cheapest tech—in fact, some of these things aren’t even on sale for Black Friday. Instead, it’s a list of the best tech to give someone you actually like. These are product ideas that solve real problems and would be a welcome gift for any tech aficionado.

The Paper Pro Move is just a few months old, and I’ve been reviewing it since it came out. I think it’s fair to say it’s the most thoughtfully designed “mini” device of the year. It shrinks reMarkable’s new color e-ink canvas to a 7.3-inch display—roughly paperback size—while keeping the adjustable front light, Gallery 3 color, and reMarkable’s signature paper-like writing feel. The pixel density jumps to 264 PPI, making text sharper than even the full-size Paper Pro.
If someone on your list takes field notes, travels light, or found the original 11.8-inch Paper Pro too unwieldy, this is the one to get. The catch: it’s brand new, so no straight discounts.
An Inc.com Featured Presentation
Who It’s For: Note-takers, creatives, commuters, field workers, and anyone who writes more than they type. Best Deal for Black Friday: The official bundle discount ($50 off) on the Move + Marker Plus + Type Folio.
2. Anker Nano Power Bank (10K, 45W)
Anker’s best pocketable charger is on one of its best sales ever. The Nano Power Bank has an integrated retractable USB-C cable—no more scrambling for cords—and a 10,000 mAh battery that can refuel most phones twice. The best feature is the 45W output, which is powerful enough to charge a MacBook Air or Nintendo Switch.
Who It’s For: Travelers, commuters, students, and anyone who lives out of a sling bag. Best Deal for Black Friday: $39.99 (down from $59.99) at Amazon and Anker.
3. Sony A7 IV
Sony’s A7 IV remains one of the most balanced, capable, and reliable full-frame cameras you can buy—especially for the price. It features a 33MP sensor, excellent low-light performance, industry-leading autofocus, and oversampled 4K video. It’s not the newest body in Sony’s lineup, but that’s the point: it’s the rare camera that’s good at everything without costing flagship money.
Who It’s For: Enthusiast photographers, hybrid shooters, vloggers, and anyone moving up from an APS-C camera. Best Deal for Black Friday: $1,998 for the body ($700 off), at B&H Photo.
4. Nespresso Vertuo Creatista
Image Courtesy, Nespresso
This year, the Nespresso Vertuo Creatista arrives on Black Friday with a compelling case: it blends the instant convenience of pods with a legit steam wand for lattes, cappuccinos, or flat whites. Not only that, but it all comes inside a polished stainless-steel body that looks more like a countertop espresso machine than a pod brewer. Its 2-liter water tank, auto-eject capsule system, and built-in frother make it a one-button way to satisfy both espresso and latte cravings. 
Who It’s For: Coffee lovers who want café-quality espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes at home without learning the art of tamping and pulling shots—ideal for apartment dwellers, new homeowners, or anyone upgrading from a standard drip pot. Best Deal for Black Friday: As low as $418.98 at Amazon (Down from $699.95 list price).
5. Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub
If it’s time to give yourself or someone you love a home-theater upgrade, this is the one. The new Arc Ultra shrinks the soundbar while improving its bass and clarity thanks to Sonos’s “Sound Motion” transducer tech. Paired with the Sub (Gen 4), it delivers room-filling sound and best-in-class dialogue enhancement. As a result, movies sound dramatically better, especially voices—the Arc Ultra’s center channel is exceptional.
Who It’s For: Movie lovers, home-theater enthusiasts, and anyone who struggles to hear dialogue. Best Deal for Black Friday: $1,499 for the bundle from Sonos and major retailers (about $500 off typical pricing).
6. EcoFlow 140W Rapid GaN Charger
EcoFlow has quietly become one of the most compelling accessory makers, and the Rapid 140W GaN charger is a perfect example. It’s compact, supports USB-C PD 3.1, and can charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro at full speed. Multiple USB-C ports (plus USB-A) make it a one-brick solution for phones, laptops, watches, and earbuds. Because it uses GaN technology, it’s also small enough to throw in just about any bag.
Who It’s For: Anyone trying to simplify their bag—or ditch the tangle of chargers behind their desk—will appreciate this. Best Deal for Black Friday: $74.99 at EcoFlow.com.
7. July Carry On Suitcase
Image Courtesy, July
July has become our favorite suitcase brand, and for good reason. The curved polycarbonate corners are more durable than standard designs, and the “SilentMove” wheels are among the smoothest—and quietest—of any carry-on. Seriously, they’re so good that they were the first thing my wife commented on when we packed for our recent trip to Lisbon in a July Carry-On. Not only that, but the CaseSafe models have built-in Apple Find My support, as well as an ejectable power bank.
Who It’s For: Frequent travelers, business flyers, and anyone upgrading from a cheap spinner. Best Deal for Black Friday: $220 for the Carry On Light.
8. M4 MacBook Air
Apple finally fixed the MacBook Air’s only real drawback by making 16GB of RAM standard. The new M4 chip is faster, more efficient, and supports dual external displays—a first for the Air with the lid open. For students, writers, office workers, and just about everyone else, this is the best all-around laptop you can buy. Right now you can get pretty great deals on the MacBook Air from Amazon and other retailers.
Who It’s For: Students, office workers, creators, and anyone replacing a laptop older than four years. Best Deal for Black Friday: $899 at Amazon and B&H.
9. AirPods Pro 3
AirPods Pro 3 look familiar, but the updates are pretty big: a built-in heart rate sensor, better waterproofing (IP57), improved bass, and 8 hours of battery life with ANC. The fitness-tracking alone makes them the easiest upgrade recommendation for any runner or gym-goer.
If you want to save just a little more money, the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are on sale for only $110 online at Walmart.
Who It’s For: Fitness lovers, commuters, and anyone still using AirPods from 2019. Best Deal for Black Friday: $219.99 on Amazon.
10. Whoop MG
Image Credit: Jason Aten
The Whoop 5.0 MG is a significant upgrade for the platform, with 14-day battery life and new medical-grade features, including FDA-cleared ECG and blood-pressure trend monitoring via its conductive clasp. It keeps Whoop’s distraction-free design while offering excellent data accuracy for sleep, recovery, and strain. If you’re not into ECG and BP trend data, the standard Whoop 5.0 has the same long battery life for less.
Who It’s For: Athletes, sleep trackers, health-conscious users, and anyone who wants the most accurate data without wearing a smartwatch. Best Deal for Black Friday: $299 “Life” Membership (normally $359). If you don’t need the medical features, the standard 5.0 Peak membership is $199.
11. Sony WH-1000XM5
Sony’s WH-1000XM5 remain the gold standard for noise-canceling headphones. They deliver exceptional ANC, 30-hour battery life, lightweight comfort, and dramatically better microphone quality for calls. Sony’s tuning is warm, detailed, and fatigue-free—ideal for long flights or hours-long focus sessions. At their annual Black Friday price, they’re one of the best headphone deals you’ll find.
Who It’s For: Frequent flyers, commuters, remote workers, students, and anyone who needs silence on demand. Best Deal for Black Friday: $298 (down from $399) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
12. Kindle Paperwhite (2024 Signature Edition)
Amazon’s refreshed Signature Edition brings a faster processor, snappier page-turns, a larger 7-inch display, 32GB of storage, wireless charging, and an ambient light sensor that adjusts automatically. For pure reading, nothing beats the Paperwhite’s combination of screen quality, battery life, and portability.
Who It’s For: Avid readers, travelers, students, and anyone trying to get off their phone at night. Best Deal I’ve Found: $154.99 (normally $199) at Amazon.
13. Level Lock Pro
Image Courtesy, Level Lock
The Level Lock Pro keeps the same invisible, inside-the-door design as the Level Lock+, but upgrades nearly everything internally: native motion sensing for faster auto-unlock, full Matter-over-Thread support, and Door Sense—a physical status indicator that tells you if the door is open or closed. It remains the best “you can’t tell it’s a smart lock” option on the market and continues to support Apple Home Keys.
The Pro is new and isn’t on sale for Black Friday, but the Level Lock+ is. If you’re willing to sacrifice Matter support and Door Sense, it’s a great deal.
Who It’s For: Apple Home users, smart-home fans, minimalists, and anyone who hates bulky keypad locks. Best Deal for Black Friday: No discounts on the Pro itself, but the Level Lock+ is $229—saving you $120 if you don’t need the new hardware features.
14. Nanu Arc Alarm Clock
Image Courtesy, Nanu
The Nanu Arc is a design-forward, phone-free alarm clock with a mechanical chime—striking an actual metal bar—that creates a calming, gradual wake-up sound. It’s beautifully made, repairable, battery-powered (USB-C), and designed to keep your phone out of the bedroom without sacrificing elegance or functionality.
Who It’s For: A perfect gift for the “digital detox” crowd—or anyone who wants to stop waking up to their phone. Best Deal for Black Friday: $254 (normally $299), one of the only discounts Nanu products see all year.
The original Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses look like classic sunglasses but add surprisingly good open-ear audio, hands-free POV photo/video capture, and on-device Meta AI tools. The audio quality is surprisingly good, and being able to capture moments without holding up a phone changes how you record memories.
Who It’s For: Travelers, parents, creators, and early adopters who love capturing candid moments. Best Deal for Black Friday: $239 (20% off), for the original version.

Know someone who lives in their kitchen. These delicious proof tools make mealtime simpler and make great gifts. I’m going to show you three amazing products, ones we’ve tested, we just love, and they’re unbelievably versatile.

A curated set of upgrades and essentials for men who appreciate thoughtful design, good materials, and pieces made to last.
Thanks to Thursday Boot Co. for supporting Primer’s mission and partnering on this piece.
Some men collect things, others refine them. He notices fabrics, he has opinions about sneakers, he knows exactly which sweater in his closet feels right on a bad morning, and how a room looks when it is finally not full of random objects. Buying a gift for that man does not need to be complicated; it just needs taste and a bit of editing.
Think of this guide as a shortlist of upgrades, pieces that feel considered and practical on purpose, with small luxuries that make getting ready or winding down feel a little more composed. These are gift ideas for men who appreciate good style, the ones who care how things look and feel, even when no one else is paying attention.
That might be a father who wants dependable staples and good shoes, a boyfriend or husband who keeps an eye on menswear trends, a brother still building his wardrobe, or a friend who always gives excellent recommendations. Men like this are not difficult to shop for, they simply like things that work well, last more than one season, and earn their place in daily use.
Give them that, and the gift tends to take care of itself.

This post will show you trendy gift ideas for girls in 2025, with options for every budget.
*It’s tiiimeeee* (Mariah Carey voice) — our holiday gift guide for girls is here!
Are you stumped on what to ask for for the holidays? Or are you looking for cool gift ideas for girls in your life that they’ll actually love? If so, then you’ve come to the right place!
I’ve compiled the ultimate list of trendy gifts for girls at every price point, featuring some of the hottest products of 2025.
With gift ideas under $50, under $100, under $200, plus some big-ticket items, you’ll be able to put together the best wish list ever—or give a gift that is sure to be appreciated and used.
Who doesn’t love the Lip Butter Balm by Summer Fridays?! This award-winning lip treatment is a fan favorite, with hydrating ingredients, delicious scents, and flattering glossy hues that make lips look and feel their best.
This set features four flavors: Vanilla Beige, a sheer beige with a hint of vanilla sweetness; Pink Guava, a sheer bright pink with a hint of sweet guava flavor; Cherry, a sheer red lip balm with a hint of cherry sweetness; and Sweet Mint, a sheer clear with a hint of sweet mint flavor.
Not only does the set give you an opportunity to sample a variety of the Lip Butter Balms, but the mini sizes make these ideal for tossing in your bags or pockets, so that you can always keep your lips hydrated while on the go.
Hailey Bieber’s Rhode keeps serving up the ultimate must-haves in skincare, makeup, and phone accessories, and the brand’s latest launch is no different: the snap-on lip case, an innovative way to keep your lip product handy at all times.
Its compact, lightweight design effortlessly snaps on and off, and it works with all MagSafe-compatible iPhone models and cases, making it that much more versatile.
How adorable is this personalized toiletry bag? Everyone could use a cute toiletry bag to store their beauty or skincare products in (especially since these can get dirty or worn down over time—if you’ve ever had a makeup product open in your cosmetics bag before, you get it!).
This one features a stylish waffle weave fabrication with the option to add a cute, colorful icon above the personalized name, with designs like cowboy boots, cherries, a taxi cab, and more.
Best of all, the bag has a vinyl-lined interior, making it durable, easy to clean, and perfect for carrying makeup, toiletries, or travel essentials.
If you’re giving it as a gift and have a bit more budget to spend, consider putting some makeup or skincare products inside, too!
If you’re a music lover who owns a record player, you will probably enjoy receiving some new tunes to spin or gift to someone else who does.
Considering Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl has been one of 2025’s most popular albums, it’s a solid choice for a Swiftie—especially the “Sweat and Vanilla Perfume” version that comes on an orange glitter vinyl.
The ultimate way to stay hydrated. Stanley tumbler cups are pretty much everyone’s favorite for keeping drinks cold for 9 hours and iced for 40 hours, with so many colors and sizes to choose from.
The cup comes with a reusable straw and features a narrow base so that it fits in most car cup holders (which is key for being able to use it on the go). You’ll feel more motivated than ever to stay hydrated throughout your day by carrying this cup around!
The bag that does it all! There’s a reason why Lululemon’s Everywhere belt baghas become such a staple—it’s so convenient and sleek.
With water-repellent fabric, pockets to organize your items, and the ability to wear it both cross-body and around your waist, this popular belt bag (which is available in 15+ colors) is guaranteed to become your go-to.
There’s something to be said about physical photographs—cell phone snaps are great, but printed photos allow you to hold onto memories instead of scrolling past them.
That’s why this disposable camera is perfect for your friend group’s resident paparazzo or anyone who loves the Y2K aesthetic and wants to channel the nostalgia of the 2000s. It is pre-loaded with film and features funky pre-exposed patterns, putting a Y2K filter on your photos (no editing app needed).
After finishing the roll of film, send it off to be developed and enjoy physical photographs that you can decorate your room with, put in a scrapbook or photo album, or sharing with your pals IRL.

Why give one gift when you can give twelve for under $100?

One of the hottest accessories of the year was not a bag, or a necklace, or sunglasses—it was Labubu, a collectible plush toy that can be used as a bag charm and turned into a status symbol after selling out everywhere.

A good to-do list app can bring order to those who struggle to keep track of everything on their schedule. There are tons of options in this space, but my personal favorite is TickTick Premium, which works across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and the web. It offers a powerful set of tools for organizing thoughts and structuring events. You can group tasks with specific tags, distinguish them by priority level, set reminders for recurring events and see all of your upcoming to-dos in a calendar or “today” view.
Visually, the app is clean, easy to parse and consistent across devices, so you can set a task on the web and update it on an iPad without feeling lost. While it isn’t explicitly designed for note-taking you can jot down thoughts and create structured lists within each to-do. Search works well, and you can create a task with natural language, so writing, “finish gift guide by next Wednesday at 4pm” will automatically set the correct due date. (This isn’t bulletproof, but it generally goes right.) Apps like this aren’t a cure-all for those who can’t stay on top of their lives, but if your loved one often seems frazzled at work, TickTick may help them see a little bit clearer. — J.D.

If there’s one holiday that always sends me into a tailspin, it’s Mother’s Day. A whole day dedicated to my incredible, iconic and inspiring mom should be perfect and include the perfect gifts. This is why it’s so stressful coming up with something each year that’ll do her justice. Heck, I’m a shopping editor who lives online and spends hours a day scouting out the best skincare and fashion essentials around. I think my biggest issue is narrowing down what to get her. There are so many things out there! But my indecisive mind can be a good thing sometimes. Right now, for example, I rounded up every single one of my stellar gift ideas for you and everyone else online to take or use as inspo. Being flustered isn’t all bad.
I’ve learned over the years that the best Mother’s Day gifts are things that she can use and be reminded of daily. They don’t have to be lavish—though that certainly doesn’t hurt—they just have to be something that she actually likes and can appreciate. While bathrobes are always a kind thought, take your brainstorm up a notch and really think about who she is and what her daily routine looks like. If she has been in a baking mood lately like my mom has, consider gifting her with a new pan or bread mold that’ll take her creations to the next level. If she’s always keen on listening to classics, why not get her a record player and records of her favorite artists? Did she just get a well-deserved promotion after spending way too many hours a day in the office? How about giving her an adorable new work tote that she can show off to her colleagues?
See, it’s really not that hard when it comes down to it. But don’t worry. I’ll guide you through even more picks below. Whether you want a last-minute Mother’s Day present from Amazon that’ll ship to your house in 2.5 seconds, or finally have the revenue stream to gift her a luxury fragrance she’s been (not so subtly) hinting about, you’ll find the most on-brand gift for your mom below. In fact, you might even find things for your step-mom, mother-in-law and grandmother to enjoy. The more, the merrier!
Check out the best Mother’s Day gift ideas below before you’re left scrambling for something at the drugstore like last year. Yes, she could tell. No, she wasn’t mad. But it certainly should be made up for this year.

I simply won’t even look at a foundation or tinted moisturizer unless it has SPF packed in. This one from Dr. Jart+is my absolute favorite.

Your tea-loving mom might already have a kettle she uses every day, but does she have one that also happens to be Kourtney Kardashian-approved?

This face massager can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, according to the brand. It also helps relax facial muscles and boost circulation. I have one and have been using it for the past six months – I’ve found my skin to be plumper, firmer and more defined since I started using it.
For the mom who loves to cook, these two products can replace up to 18 pieces of cookware, according to the brand. Mom can do everything from sauteeing veggies to braising meat with these kitchen essentials.

Choose between classic books to adorn this print, including “Pride and Prejudice,” “A Christmas Carol” or “The Great Gatsby.” Each first edition print comes framed as well.
Another gift for the readers out there, the Kindle Paperwhite is one of the best e-readers. It’s waterproof, has a multiweek battery life and is super lightweight, making it great to take on the go.

My mom can’t get enough of her AirPods Pro, she uses them every day to stream videos, talk to her friends or just listen to her favorite 90s hits. These earbuds are designed for all-day wear and feature some of the best noise cancellation on the market. They also have up to 30 hours of battery life with the included wireless charging case.

Now that he’s a twenty-something who’s entering the “real world,” he could probably use a little advice, and a helpful book would be a good resource to offer him.

While I love indulging in an overpriced coffee shop drink a couple times a week, I can’t justify shelling out $10 for it every day. So, I’ve tried a variety of methods to make barista-worthy brews at home so I can save money in the long run. Thankfully, as a shopping editor, I get to try out the best of the best. I’m definitely a creature of habit and don’t typically stray too far from my Clevr Blends, Keurig, or handy pour-over method. But I recently discovered a super fast, indulgent way to elevate black coffee in just seconds at home. After all, it’s about the little things!
Here at The Kitchn, we’ve become regulars at Uncommon Goods. From online classes to a DIY butter candle, they’ve got some seriously unique options in store. So, it comes as no surprise that these gourmet coffee creamer bombs caught my eye — but before we could write about them, they were naturally sold out. But now, they’re back in stock, so you’ll want to add them to your cart before it’s too late (snag for yourself or a gift). If you were a fan of hot cocoa bombs, you’ll want to test these out ASAP.
What are the Uncommon Goods Coffee Creamer Bombs?
This set of six ridiculously pretty coffee creamer bombs is handmade in Georgia and is the ultimate treat for the coffee lover in your life. The set includes a variety of indulgent coffee-shop inspired flavors: vanilla, pumpkin spice, coconut, mocha, caramel, and bourbon. Now, these are definitely not an every day kind of thing, but if you need a pick-me-up and want to take your boring black coffee to another level, they’re perfect to have in your pantry. Or, if you’re someone who likes to keep gifts on hand at all times for those last-minute gifting needs, these are a must-have.
Why I Love the Uncommon Goods Coffee Creamer Bombs
I’m obsessed with these little delicacies because they’re not only gorgeous (hello, golden flakes), but they’re easy to use too. Simply unwrap them from the packaging, carefully place them in your cup of java, and watch them melt into your cup. (Trust me: It’s so satisfying to watch!) Then, you’ll want to stir it into your coffee. Now, if you love the sugary drinks at your favorite coffee shop, you’ll fall for these. I’m not super into rich, sweet coffee drinks, so this is something I won’t be doing regularly, but it’s a nice sweet treat every now and then.
The mix of cafe-quality flavors are sure to delight, and the packaging makes them ready to gift. You could even split up the coffee creamer bombs and gift them to multiple people to get more bang for your buck! Pair them with a coffee mug and some other java tools and you’ve got a foolproof gift anyone will love.
Valentine’s Day is one week away, so needless to say, it’s crunch time. Not to stress you out or anything, but the time to order those last-minute gifts is now. I know we’ve all barely recovered from holiday gift shopping, but time marches on. The deadline has already passed on some retailers’ sites but there are still plenty of options that will arrive before February 14—from the likes of Shopbop, Nordstrom, and Net-a-Porter, to name a few excellent ones.
Valentine’s Day gift shopping is a little tricky as stereotypical “cutesy” gifts can be difficult to avoid, but I think I did a great job of finding cool gifts for the holiday, if I do say so myself. So scroll on while there’s still time to get something good for your loved ones—or treat yourself to a Valentine’s Day gift of your own choosing. You deserve it.
When it comes to Valentine’s Day, there’s a palpable rush to unearth that perfect token of affection — one that speaks volumes without uttering a single word. The art of gifting on this day of love is all about capturing the essence of your unique relationship and sealing it within a present that mirrors her individuality. Imagine, then, finding an offering that does precisely this — a perfect Valentine’s gift for her steeped in tradition yet vibrant with an enduring charm. We’re talking about a gift that isn’t just a fleeting fancy but a timeless tribute to your bond.
Celebrating Milestones With A Timeless Token Of Love
Every relationship is sprinkled with milestones that deserve to be commemorated. Whether it’s the anniversary of your first date, or yet another Valentine’s Day spent in each other’s embrace, marking these occasions calls for something extraordinary. Thoughtfulness can be expressed in many ways, but one that truly stands out is selecting a token of love that will last as long as your memories. In the maze of mundane gifts, imagine gifting her a natural wonder, preserved and transformed into a luxurious artifact, signifying your everlasting affection.
A rose, with its delicate petals and evocative fragrance, has spoken the language of love through the ages. A single rose has the capacity to articulate profound emotions, from fiery passion signified by a deep red to the innocence and purity associated with white. In our contemporary lexicon of love, the notion of an eternal rose takes on new meaning: these are blooms that have been painstakingly preserved to last a lifetime, symbolizing an unwavering commitment as resolute as their preserved beauty. Giving one not only reflects your devotion and expresses your feelings in an eternally romantic way but also an understanding of her appreciation for the sublime and the sentimental.
The delicate process behind preserving beauty
Giving her a rose that will last a lifetime starts with artisans who respect the fragile nature of the flower. In an intricate dance of preservation, each petal is treated with a delicate glaze, capturing its natural elegance forever. It’s a blend of age-old preservation techniques and modern artistry. Such a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift suggests a melding of the ephemeral with the eternal, just like the moments you share. To present a rose that will endure through the seasons is to offer a piece of art that symbolizes the blooming of your love amidst the passage of time.
As far as Valentine’s gift ideas go, this one is pretty close to perfection. So, if you’re still wondering what to get your girl for Valentine’s Day, this should have you covered. Hope your celebration of the day of love is as perfect as this gift!

Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it, so you should start thinking about gift ideas! Today, we’re sharing all of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for her. (For boyfriend specific ideas, see our guide to Valentine’s gifts for him.)
So for all significant others (or friends, or family members) reading this, take note — here’s what we actually want for Valentine’s Day.
The sooner you shop, the better, so you can make sure to get her a great gift for Valentine’s Day. (And here are some date ideas for her, in case you need activities to go with your gift.)
It may seem stressful trying to think of something she will love for Valentine’s Day, but don’t worry because this post will show you the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her this year!
The Best 65 Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her
Cute Valentine Ideas
First up are the cute Valentine’s Day gift ideas that are sure to impress, from classics to more unique gifts that she doesn’t already have.
A matching set of cozy pajamas makes an amazing Valentine’s Day gift for her. There’s just something about nice matching pajamas that feels so luxurious and special.
These Nordstrom Moonlight pajamas are the BEST ones I’ve ever owned. I’ve bought these for so many of my friends and family members, and everyone adores them. They’re the comfiest and cutest pajamas ever!
Who doesn’t love wearing a comfy robe for lounging around?
If this sounds like something your loved one would like to wear, then you should check out this super cute pink silk robe they will love wearing! It’s so luxurious and pretty.
Good travel bags are hard to come by, and if your girl loves to travel, this weekender duffel bag is a gift she’ll use over and over again. Also, if this gift is for a long-distance girlfriend, it is something that she can use when she comes to stay with you!
The absolute best idea would be to pair this with a trip you’ve planned, whether it’s a weekend getaway to the beach or just a little staycation at a hotel in your city. She’ll remember this gift forever!
Jewelry is always a classic on Valentine’s Day, but a watch is unexpected and something she’ll wear forever.
I got this watch for my birthday this year, and I love it because it matches with both gold and silver jewelry. It has a Cartier vibe for a lot less money, and the quality is amazing for a relatively inexpensive watch.
Cheap & Sweet Gift Ideas
You don’t have to spend a lot for a great Valentine’s Day gift! Here are some cute and affordable ideas, all under $40 (and most under $20).
Heart-shaped sunglasses are always a good little gift for V-Day, especially if you get these ones, which have a YSL vibe for a tiny fraction of the price. (These are less than $10.)
This is such a cute and cheap gift idea for Valentine’s Day! She will definitely snap some Instagram photos in these.
Candles are always a fun item to have around the house, so you should also think about getting her some candles for Valentine’s Day.
Instead of just regular candles that she probably already has, you could get her these heart-shaped candles, which come in three different colors to match her decor.
They will go with the Valentine’s Day theme, and she can distribute them all over her house.
I am obsessed with this affordable gift idea! It’s so unique and definitely something she doesn’t already have.
If your girl loves to take long baths, get her this underwater disco light show to make her next bath even more fun. It’s only $11, and she’ll love it!
For those girls who love makeup or have a lot of makeup, you should consider getting a makeup bag set like this one!
This set is great because it comes with a large and small bag, perfect no matter how much makeup she needs to carry.
Luxury Picks
If you’re looking to really treat her this year, here are the best luxury Valentine’s Day gifts for her. All of these are splurges, but obviously, she’s worth it.
If she loves lounging around and watching movies, or even if she is just into decorating her home, a decorative blanket makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
Barefoot Dreams blankets are some of the best luxury blankets on the market; they’re insanely soft and are favorites of celebrities and influencers alike.
The leopard print is their most popular blanket, and if you spot it in stock, grab it — it’s been known to sell out.
Just make sure to note what type of metal she wears so you don’t get her the wrong color. (Most women have a preference for white or yellow gold, so pay attention to what she wears most often.)
If she loves to style her hair in different ways, the Dyson Airwrap is the ultimate luxury gift she’ll love. This blow dryer and curling iron in one is highly coveted and a favorite of every beauty influencer out there.
It’s expensive, but it’s the best hair tool on the market today.
Pro tip: If you can find one of these in stock, buy it for her ASAP, as they are known to sell out. You can also sign up for emails at Sephora and on Dyson’s Airwrap page to be notified when stock is available.
If she loves to cook, this is one gift she’s guaranteed to treasure. Le Creuset’s products are the highest quality, made to last a lifetime, and their famous dutch ovens are every cook’s dream.
If you gift her one of these, expect her to keep it on her stove for the rest of eternity and show it off to all of her friends. It’s one of those gifts.
Here’s another one of those ultimate luxury gifts that’s sure to wow her.
Baccarat Rouge 540 is one of the most expensive and coveted perfumes in existence. With notes of jasmine, saffron, cedarwood, and ambergris, it’s a gorgeous and sophisticated scent she’ll love.
You may have seen this item on social media because it has become an insanely popular Valentine’s Day gift idea among influencers.
Instead of giving her a bouquet of flowers for Valentine’s Day, you can surprise her with these preserved roses that last a full year!
She will not only love that these are real roses but also she will love being able to decorate her home with this adorable Valentine’s Day gift all year long.
Yes, it’s pricey, but compared to the cost of buying multiple bouquets of flowers throughout the year, this is a great deal.
Most of us girls love jewelry, especially something sentimental from someone we care about, so it’s no surprise that jewelry is a classic gift idea for her on Valentine’s Day.
Instead of getting her regular jewelry, if you want to be a little more traditional, think about getting her heart-shaped jewelry like this heart ring.
Not only will she be excited about wearing it, but it will also go with everything she owns, so she’ll wear it every day.
If you’ve seen the movie Up, you know how cute (and heartbreaking) the opening scene is, particularly the Adventure Book. If she’s seen the movie, she will absolutely love this custom “Adventure Book” scrapbook, based on Ellie and Carl’s book.
Depending on how crafty you are, you can pre-fill it with photos and notes, or you can fill out the first page and leave the rest open for all your adventures to come.
Why buy her flowers just once when you can have flowers delivered to her all year round? This monthly bouquet subscription will send her a new box of flowers every 30 days. The bouquets are handpicked and hand tied, sourced from sustainable farms around the world.
Each month’s bouquet is different, depending on what’s in season, so she’ll be so excited to open her flowers every month. So romantic!
Practical Gifts
While sentimental gifts are nice, sometimes you just want to give her something she’ll actually use. Here are some awesome practical gifts she’s sure to love.
Loungewear is also an awesome Valentine’s Day gift for her because it’s practically the uniform of the past two years. You cannot go wrong with this gift!
She will really appreciate this lounge set for Valentine’s Day because it has a nice, cozy fabric and a neutral color that looks good on everyone. It also comes in 11 other shades if black isn’t her fave.
If she doesn’t already own a pair of Airpods, these are an amazing gift that she will use all the time!
Whether she uses them for music at the gym, noise cancellation for studying at the library, zoom meetings, or just listening to podcasts at home, she’ll reach for them every day (and think of you).
Another classic gift for women that she’ll use all the time. These fuzzy slippers are so cute and cozy, perfect for relaxing days at home. Every woman needs a good pair of slippers so this is a no-fail gift!
The lighting automatically turns on when you’re looking in the mirror, and it’s nice and bright, perfect for seeing how your makeup actually looks in daylight. Plus, it has great magnification if you’re doing your eyebrows or something detailed.
Trust me on this, if she loves makeup, this gift is guaranteed to impress.
Haven’t you heard? Uggs are officially back in style. All types of Uggs are popular but these mini Uggs are super classic and beloved by every girl. They’d make an amazing Valentine’s Day gift this year.
The best part is that they’re SO cozy and warm, so she’ll be extra comfy in this gift.
Whether your girl already loves Lulu or you want to treat her to her first pair, you cannot go wrong with a pair of their buttery soft Aligns in her favorite color.
Sexy Gifts
If you want to buy something a little bit risque’, or just set the mood for a romantic evening, here are some seductive gift ideas that she’ll actually love. (Nothing crazy or cringe-y here!)
Trust me on this: SKIMS underwear is AMAZING, and any woman will love to receive it.
They carry tons of cuts and colors, so you’re guaranteed to find something she’ll love.
Also, if you aren’t 100% sure about her size, the SKIMS Fits Everybody collection is the solution — these pieces are silky soft and stretch A TON so if you roughly know her size, pretty much everything will fit her.
There is nothing more luxurious than lying down on a set of satin sheets. Treat her to this top-rated set for a gift that will make her feel like a princess and set the mood at the same time.
It’s described as: “A Lush classic, this bath bomb really helps you set the mood for a relaxing, romantic time in the tub thanks to heady jasmine and soothing ylang ylang.”
If you want to get her something *more* than underwear but don’t want to waste money on something that will just sit in her drawer all year, a bodysuit is a great option.
This one from Skims is definitely risque’ but if styled with pants and a bralette, it could actually be worn for a night out. So cute and surprisingly versatile!
If she has an Instagram account, she has probably heard of this Kacey Musgraves x Boy Smells candle. It’s such a sultry scent that will definitely set the mood for a romantic evening. Plus, the candle will look beautiful in her home.
Definitely get this for her if she loves luxe candles or Kacey’s music!
Personalized Gifts
There is nothing better than a personalized gift to really show her you’re thinking of her! There are so many great options out there, but here are our absolute faves for Valentine’s Day:
Or, you could personalize the bracelet with something sentimental, like a snippet of her grandmother’s writing, for a gift that will really touch her heart.
A locket is like the OG of personalized gifts. It’s so sweet and sentimental, and I absolutely love it as a gift for Valentine’s Day.
This customized locket from Etsy is awesome because you can just upload your photos when you order, and they’ll be added to the locket for you! So easy and cute.
This personalized gift is so sweet and sentimental! It’s a night star map of what the sky looked like on the day you met (or your first date, or your anniversary, or her birthday, etc.).
You can completely personalize this with the date, place, and ink color to make it completely customized for her. She’ll love having this in her home.
You can personalize this with a photo of the two of you, a photo of one of you, or even a photo of her beloved pet. Then add whatever text you want to make this a completely custom gift she’ll cherish.
Photo albums are always so fun, especially for couples, so you can capture the cute moments you spend together.
What makes it even more fun is taking pictures with a Polaroid camera.
If your girlfriend owns a Polaroid camera, you should consider getting her this Polaroid photo album so you can keep all of your photos together to look at later!
Some girls are really into perfume, so if you have noticed your girlfriend is one of them, you could get her perfume for Valentine’s Day.
This may be tricky, though, if you are unsure what scent she likes for her perfumes.
The safe bet is to get her this perfume sampler that comes with many different perfume samples for her to try so she can find a perfume that she loves!
Le Labo’s fragrances are insanely popular, so she’s sure to find something she loves in this set of their best-sellers.
Robes are a great gift for people who love to lounge around the house or like to stay comfy and warm. (And let’s be real, that’s all of us these days!)
But, for your girlfriend, you may want to get something a little different than a regular robe for Valentine’s Day.
So, you should get her this koala robe! It is not only super cute but insanely comfortable and cozy. Your girlfriend will always be comfy when she wears this fluffy robe.
This is such a great gift idea for planning your future together. It’s a scratch-off poster that has 100 date ideas. Whenever you complete one of the ideas, you scratch off that section of the poster.
So cute and I love that it’s a gift you can complete together!
This gift idea is for all of you with long-distance girlfriends. These long-distance touch bracelets are honestly so cute! Here’s how they work:
Each of you wears one of the bracelets. They’re connected through an app. When you want to send a message to your loved one, just tap the bracelet in the app. Your partner’s bracelet will light up and vibrate so they know you’re thinking of them. You can even incorporate special rhythms into a secret code just for them — so cute.
Also, you can buy additional bands for this set to customize the bracelet to your girlfriend’s style.
As mentioned before, jewelry is always a great gift idea for Valentine’s Day.
A letter necklace like this one is a classic jewelry piece that your wife can wear with any outfit. She’ll get a ton of use out of it, and it will go with everything she owns.
You could get the necklace with her initial or even your initial (or your last name initial), so she will be reminded of you when she wears this necklace.
When you’ve been married for a while, you might think you know everything there is to know about your partner — but you’d be wrong!
This fun card game has tons of conversation prompts to help deepen your connection with your partner and get to know them on another level. You’re guaranteed to learn something new about your wife.
Pair with a takeout dinner and a bottle of wine (or some mocktails) for the perfect Valentine’s Day night in.
This is another cute bonding activity gift for couples who have been together forever. Similar to the scratch-off dates poster above, this kit gives you ideas for new things to do together.
The cards include everything from movie marathon ideas to ways to spend a Saturday morning. All in all, it is a cute, fun gift that you guys can use together.
This is a total classic that’s surprisingly meaningful. The “What I Love About You” book is not a new concept, but I love that this one is pre-made, so all that’s left to do is fill in the pages!
The best part is that this book gives you a specific prompt on each page (e.g., “You should get the award for ___________”), so if you aren’t the best at writing love letters, the book makes it super easy.
Another classic made 10x easier — and cuter — thanks to the wonder that is Etsy!
These are your classic “Love Coupons” that your partner can redeem for activities of your choosing. The cool thing about these, though, is that they’re scratch-off! In addition, they look gorgeous and are just $10 for a set.
Every girl loves a spa day (and everyone is into self-care these days), so you can’t go wrong getting your girlfriend a spa day set for Valentine’s Day.
This spa gift basket is a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your girlfriend because it comes with pink-themed items to go with the Valentine’s Day theme, plus it has a nice scent.
It comes with everything she needs for a spa day, from a body scrub to a cute rose-shaped soap for her bathroom!
Everyone knows that chocolate is a classic gift for Valentine’s Day, which is usually given in a heart box. But, if you want to surprise her with something different, you could get her a deluxe box full of chocolate.
This gigantic chest full of chocolate treats will do the trick, especially if she loves sweets, because it comes with every type of chocolate treat she could possibly imagine!
If you’re pressed for time and don’t know what to get her, you can’t go wrong with a cozy plaid shacket!
These are always popular so they’re a gift that every woman will appreciate. Plus, they’re super cozy for the winter season which makes them ideal for snuggling up on Valentine’s Day.
This is a super cute last-minute gift that really fits the Valentine’s Day theme. A mini heart-shaped waffle maker would be perfect for a best friend or family member, or just as a fun gift for your girlfriend who loves waffles. (Who doesn’t?)
Also, this one ships fast with Amazon Prime, so it’s a great last-minute pick.
If you’re stumped on what to get and you want something quick, easy, and impressive, grab her a Sephora gift card.
I seem to end up with one of these every Christmas, and I’m never, ever mad about it. It’s a great gift all year round, and that includes V-Day.
Every woman can find something she loves at Sephora!
Gift Box Ideas
I love the idea of a gift box on Valentine’s Day. It’s a simple gift that’s always impressive and takes the guesswork out of shopping. Here are my favorite Valentine’s Day gift box ideas:
If your girl rarely has time to go to the nail salon, why not gift her everything she needs to do her nails at home?
Olive and June is a company known for their gorgeous nail polish colors, and this kit includes absolutely everything she’ll need for a stunning mani-pedi at home.
This would be really cute to pair with a spa robe and bath bombs as well!
Sugarfina’s candies are famous for their gorgeous packaging and innovative flavors (rose’ gummy bears, anyone?), so they make a great Valentine’s Day gift.
Who on Earth doesn’t love peanut butter? (Peanut allergies excluded.)
This awesome small-batch peanut butter gift set comes with six different flavors, from white chocolate pretzel to snickerdoodle popcorn. If you’re lucky, she might even let you sample some with her.
They say the way to a man’s heart is through her stomach, but I’d argue the same is true for women. So why not gift her a huge box of snacks for Valentine’s Day?
This cute heart-shaped snack box includes 30 individually wrapped snacks with brands like Goldfish, Cheez-It, Air Heads, Nature Valley, Planters, Welch’s, Oreos, and more. Gift her this box, and she’ll love you forever.
