Whether you’re shopping for a longtime partner or just want to delight a close friend, I can assure you of one thing: You can find a surprisingly charming and actually good Valentine’s Day gift without breaking the bank. Here, I’ve collected 51 gifts — many of which are tried and true Strategist favorites — for under $25 for a range of valentines. There’s an amber-hued nightlight for the couple on different sleep schedules, a mini waffle-maker for the girlfriend who prefers breakfast in bed, and a pound of milk-chocolate rocks for the husband who has everything.
A gentle reminder: Valentine’s Day is this Wednesday, which means it’s really crunch time. I’ve done my best to make sure that everything here will arrive by February 14, but be sure to double-check shipping times as delivery dates can change rapidly. And if you’re still feeling stuck, we have a master list of gift ideas for all the special people in your life.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
