When February 14th rolls around, partners typically express their affection for each other with candy, fresh-cut bouquets, by planning a staycation, a quiet dinner, or uploading ‘cute Af’ social media posts (sigh, whatever happened to exchanging lengthy, handwritten letters, no?) in honor of Valentine’s day. However, if you’re running out of ideas on what to gift your Valentine, you’re lucky because we have a list of beauty recommendations that make the perfect gifts. That way, you're gifting something that is not only visually appealing but will also bring a little love into your giftee’s daily routine.
Expect everything from ‘make-out proof’ lipsticks, romantic bath salts, and skin-loving body lotions (great if your Valentine has dry, sensitive skin) to cherry tints for those that prefer a low-fuss makeup routine—so good that you might just end up keeping a few for yourself. We also threw in a number of great picks from brands like Huda Beauty, L'Occitane, and Coach, plus a few popular grooming products to gift the men in your life. To make narrow your search down, we rounded up a bunch of Valentine’s Day-appropriate gifting ideas for him and her—whether you're partnered up, dating around, spending the 14th with your girlfriends, or deciding to take yourself out on a date (like some of us) on this popular holiday.
