13 Thoughtful Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Everyone In Your Life
Valentine's Day may not be everyone's cup of tea, but what's not to like about a day that's all about love? Whether you want to celebrate your partner, your friends, your family or the most enduring relationship you'll ever have (yourself!), we've found cute gifts for all budgets.
Grace & Stella Restoring Eye Masks, $26 for 24 pairs
These eye masks by Canadian brand Grace & Stella are a Team Chatelaine favourite—we love to gift them to anyone who needs a little R&R. They come in a few iterations—Moisturizing, Illuminating, Energizing, Revitalizing—but we’re partial to the Restoring gel patches that are packed with retinol, ceramides and hyaluronic acid to treat the under-eye area and de-puff all at once.
Pandora Organically Shaped Heart Small Ring, $128
Heart-shaped jewellery gets a bad rap, but this sculptural ring’s open design is chic, modern and a little whimsical. It can be worn alone or as part of a stack, and it also comes in sterling silver. (If you’re feeling particularly generous, throw in the matching hoop earrings.)
Lego The Botanical Collection Flower Bouquet, $80
You can’t go wrong with a bouquet of flowers on Valentine’s Day, and the craft enthusiasts in your life will love putting these DIY blooms together. Bonus: They’ll never wither!
Kitsch Satin Scrunchies, $11
We swear by these cute, practical and affordable satin scrunchies to keep our hair out of the way when we do our skincare and we can vouch for the fact that they also make a great gift. Pair them with an indulgent face mask or a new serum to set them up for the ultimate pampering session.
H&M Quilted Robe, $109
This cozy girl-approved bathrobe—a dupe for Skims’ viral and ultra-pricey Duvet Robe—is pretty much as close as you can get to wearing a comforter. It’s padded for extra warmth, making it perfect for those bone-chilling February evenings.
Phlur Afterglow Eau de Parfum, $134 for 50 mL
Fragrance brand Phlur knows a thing or two about scents that set the tone for a romantic evening—they’re behind Missing Person, a musky eau de parfum that smells like wearing your crush’s favourite hoodie. Afterglow features notes of sandalwood, amber, vanilla, apricot and coconut, a cocktail that the brand says bottles up the “rush of instant chemistry”.
OkayOk Thick Cotton Socks in Primary Mix, $30
Made with six colours of yarn twisted in OkayOk’s Toronto studio, these thick and cozy cotton socks are the perfect winter staple for homebodies who like to stay toasty.
Aesop Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, $43
A luxe hand cream is always a great gift idea, no matter the occasion. Scented with cedar, patchouli and clove bud and formulated with hydrating butters and oils, this indulgent balm is a treat to use.
Maguire Alpi Denim Gloves, $100
When in doubt, splurge on a luxury item they wouldn’t buy themselves. These leather gloves lined with cashmere fit the bill perfectly. Opt for a pop of colour, like this pretty light blue, or match it to their winter jacket.
Monos Banana Charm, $40
Let them know you’re bananas over them with this sweet bag charm from Canadian luggage brand Monos' collab with designer Simon Miller, who is known for his playful and colourful designs.
Lohn Mini Candle in Lato, $26
Can’t afford their dream vacay? This candle is the next best thing. With notes of bergamot, lemon, hibiscus, tonka bean and vanilla, it will transport them to a breezy tropical beach.
