It’s a tale as old as time: One day you’re nonchalantly glancing at the calendar, and seconds later you’re doing a panic-stricken double-take. It’s February 14, and you’re without Valentine’s Day gifts for her—again. You’ll rush to your local convenience store for a box of chocolates, pluck a single, slightly wilted rose wrapped in cellophane from the dwindling pile, and join the ranks of card-seekers scanning what’s left of the store’s $5 paper proclamations of affection. Or you could plan in advance!

Something to keep in mind when shopping for the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts for the special woman in your life is that it doesn’t matter what your budget is. Your love for another person shouldn’t be measured in dollar signs. As is true of any gift, it is the thought that counts. All that matters is that, at the end of the day, your valentine feels loved and appreciated.

So what are your options? Well, clichéd as they may be, sweets, jewelry, and flowers are excellent Valentine's Day gifts. If you want to go that route, the key is to personalize the sentiment. Maybe she's not a fan of chocolate, but you know she loves sour gummy worms, or if she's allergic to roses, opt for a bouquet of lilies. If you want to treat her to something beyond these basics, we've rounded up 42 Valentine's Day gifts that cover all the bases. From fashion gifts to beauty gifts to nostalgic gestures, there's a present for every kind of valentine ahead.
