A Last Minute Valentine's Day Gift Guide

From Alice Mushrooms to Venus et Fleur.

---

Valentine’s Day can be a dreamy, love-soaked fantasy — or a cruel reminder that Cupid has flown the co-op. But one thing’s for sure — drugstore chocolates are officially a thing of the past, too many bouquets scream "I’m cliche," and old-school romance has seemingly been placed on the bench by younger generations. 

Whether you're picking out something for your boyfriend, the not-quite-a-thing that keeps you desperate for your anxiety medication, or the best friends who mend the hearts they didn’t break, this chic Valentine’s gift guide has you covered–including a few goodies for you.

Gifts for Your Lover

COACH CANVAS WALLET ($150)

There’s just something about men and their wallets —receipts stuffed in every corner, cards haphazardly jammed in, and a mysterious stash of cash. But this sleek Coach wallet is here to save him from his own chaos. Designed for effortless organization, it keeps everything in its place, so he’ll never have to dig around for his credit card at dinner (again).

PERSONALIZED WHISKEY GLASS ($24)

This Valentine’s gift is for the boyfriend who’s as serious about you as he is about good whiskey. Whether he’s clinking glasses with the guys or keeping you warm by the fire, this gift says, I know your love language is bourbon. And the discreet engraving on the bottom? A little secret between you two.

DAVID YURMAN BOX CHAIN BRACELET ($195)

Dating a fashionable man? He might secretly be lusting after David Yurman accessories. The ultimate quiet luxury brand, their men’s bracelets are simple, sophisticated, and somehow impossibly masculine.

Gifts for Your Situationship

RYAN PORTER CANDLE ($34)

Attraction is the first step to anything… and sometimes the only thing keeping it going. So when it comes to gifts, keep it light, flirty, and most importantly, non-committal. This candle is the perfect choice—it sets the mood without setting expectations. At the very least, you both know you’d swipe right again… for now.

ALICE MUSHROOMS ($76)

Want to turn up the heat this Valentine’s Day without making things weird? Alice Chocolates is the perfect just-bold-enough move. Their new drop is infused with aphrodisiac ingredients, and these little squares add a playful edge to the night — no over-the-top romance, no unnecessary pressure. Just a fun, flirty way to set the mood with the person you’re mainly hooking up with (and throw in their Ghia collab while you're at it).

TIPSY LAND ($25)

If your situationship is still in its fragile, undefined phase, consider this Tipsy Land game. With its pink tones and playful energy, it nods to Valentine’s Day without triggering a "What are we?" conversation no one wants. Plus, you can play it with friends if your plans take a platonic turn.

Gifts for Your Ride-or-Dies

VENUS ET FLEUR SINGLE ETERNAL ROSE ($49)

Do your friends a favor and set the bar high. Every fashion girl secretly dreams of receiving a Venus et Fleur bouquet on Valentine’s Day. But with their sky-high prices? Most men stick to the sad grocery store bouquet. Show her she deserves better — even if it’s just one perfect rose.

BARBIE DREAM HOUSE CANDLE ($30)

With the political climate currently giving major Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House energy, remind your bestie that Barbie’s Dream House still exists — and it smells like peonies and roses with hints of lemon zest and jasmine.

You can buy it here.

CHAMPAGNE + CAVIAR SET ($44)

Sugarfina may feel like a sweet treat of the past, but this adorable candy set will make you think twice. If your besties have been urging you to try champagne and caviar (an acquired taste you might not love), this is the cute, sugar-coated compromise.

Gifts for You, Baby

GHIA ORIGINAL APERITIF ($38)

Still riding the Dry January wave? Keep it going with this light, non-alcoholic apéritif from Ghia. It tastes just as good — minus the hangover.

PINK MARC DE CHAMPAGNE TRUFFLES ($14)

Just because no one showed up at your door with chocolates this year — and your besties got you something better — doesn’t mean you should skip the most indulgent part of the holiday. These decadent truffles melt in your mouth with a dreamy mix of white chocolate and strawberry. (Bonus: They come in a gorgeous pink heart-shaped box.)

CHANEL LOOK SHARP KIT ($130)

One of the best gifts a girl can get herself? A designer makeup kit. Unlike the ever-changing quality of designer clothing, luxury beauty products actually live up to the hype. This Chanel kit includes a chic compact mirror, a makeup bag, and high-quality eyeliner and mascara — because nothing says self-love like flawless lashes.

Happy shopping — and if all else fails, there’s always wine. 🌀
