You might already have Valentine’s Day date night already planned, but if your weekly date nights are getting stale, this gift is a great way to find new inspiration. Date ideas are color-coded into four categories—staying at home, going out, having a day out, and a surprise—to choose from and include date ideas like going bowling, watching the sunrise, and going to brunch. Plus, you’ll get five customizable cards to add your own date ideas to the mix.

Heart-shaped jewelry can be hard to style outside of Valentine’s Day, so show your love with these love knot stud earrings instead. The timeless studs are affordable and come in gold, rose gold, and silver to match your special someone’s existing jewelry collection. Keep in mind, these earrings are gold and silver plated over brass, so they may tarnish over time.

Perfectly sized for baking single-serve cakes or serving ice cream sundaes, this Le Creuset mini cocotte is one of the brand’s most affordable pieces of cookware. It’s available in five colors, each with a gold-painted heart-shaped knob for an adorable Valentine’s Day touch. The glazed stoneware is oven-safe up to 400°F and is also freezer-safe.

Real flowers don’t last forever, but this bouquet Lego kit will remain for years to come. The 756-piece set that creates 15 stems of roses, poppies, daisies, snapdragons, and more is a great activity for you and a partner to work on together during an at-home date night. Keep in mind, this Lego set includes tiny pieces and is meant for ages 18 and up, so it’s not the best Valentine’s Day gift for kids.

Whether you’ve been together for 10 months or 10 years, there’s always more to learn about your partner. This couples card game includes 150 thought-provoking prompts to encourage deeper conversations, such as “What have I helped you appreciate about yourself?” and “Describe the first time we met through your perspective in detail.”

Looking for a gift that can double as a future date idea? This wicker picnic basket includes everything you need for dining al fresco, including a picnic blanket, two wine glasses, two sets of stainless steel cutlery, two ceramic plates, two cotton napkins, a bottle opener, and even a portable bamboo table with slots to hold the wine glasses. Leather straps secure the lid and accessories in place.

Candle lovers will appreciate this adorable candle warmer that releases their favorite scents without any flame. The dimmable light can be set on a timer for added safety. It’s a great gift to pair with a high-quality candle, but keep in mind that the warmer is only suitable for candles less than 5.5 inches tall.

Whether your Valentine likes to cook or bake, they’re sure to love this high-quality apron from Hedley & Bennett. The apron comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns, and you can customize it to add a monogram or text up to 10 letters and numbers. The waist straps are adjustable up to 43 inches and the neck strap extends to 36 inches. While it’s a bit of a splurge for a kitchen apron, the brand offers a lifetime guarantee if any quality issues arise.

For loved ones who could spend all night soaking in the tub, this bamboo bath caddy is a handy spot to keep their necessities dry and nearby. The extendable tray fits tubs from 29.5 to 43 inches wide and includes silicone grips to stay in place. The table surface is wide enough to fit a 13-inch laptop and includes a removable stand to prop up a phone, tablet, or book.

This journal is a great gift for couples who want to document their relationship over time. The book includes 365 daily prompts with space for each partner to answer the question three times across three years. Many prompts are lighthearted, like “Who’s your celebrity crush?” or “Guess how many cups of coffee your partner drank today,” while other prompts, like “Write down one thing you never want your partner to change,” encourage deeper conversations.

Valentine’s Day is a special holiday for long-distance couples, even if you can’t be together in person. These bond touch bracelets can help you feel like they're by your side. When one partner touches the bracelet, the other will feel the vibration on their wrist. The band is waterproof and lasts up to four days without recharging, so you’re sure to never miss a touch.

Slippers are always a great gift option, especially when they’re as comfortable, cozy, and affordable as these. The soft synthetic fleece adds a fluffy look and the memory foam footbeds provide ample support. Keep in mind, we tested these sandal-style slippers ourselves and found that they run small, so you’ll want to be sure to size up.

Silky, satin sheets add a luxurious sheen to a bed and feel cool to the touch. When we tested these sheets in our testing lab, they were soft and incredibly breathable, and they comfortably fit over our mattress. The set comes in 18 different colors, so you’ll be able to find a match for your giftee’s bedroom decor.

Stuffed toys are classic Valentine’s Day gifts, and this adorable pink heart from Jellycat checks all the boxes. Suitable for all ages, the smiling heart measures 4 x 5 inches and includes a weighted bottom to help it sit up straight, whether it's placed on a bed or amongst a sea of other toys.

If you stay up later than your partner, they’re sure to appreciate this sleep mask to block any light. The contoured design prevents pressure on the eyes and the mulberry silk material reduces friction between the mask and delicate skin.

A framed photo is one of the best Valentine’s Day gifts, but if you and your loved one have too many pictures together to choose a favorite, consider this digital picture frame with unlimited storage.

Your Valentine doesn’t need a green thumb to plant produce at home, especially with convenient grow kits. This kit comes with everything needed (except water and sunlight) to grow organic chili peppers on your windowsill, making it a great gift for home cooks who enjoy a bit of spice. Just keep in mind, peppers usually take two to three months to grow, so you won’t get results right away.

Upgrade your at-home movie date nights with a portable projector. We tested this pick ourselves and were impressed with its loud, crisp speakers that allowed us to clearly hear the film from any side of the device. It’s also lightweight, making it a great pick to take on the go. For the best backyard movie night viewings, pair the projector with an outdoor movie screen.

The box even includes a cutout for a phone charging cable, making it a great pick to keep on top of their nightstand.

Even the most stocked home bars might be missing a few tools, like a co*cktail smoker. This kit includes a smoking gun, wood chips, a smoke infuser, a dome lid, and a charging cable. The dome lid is big enough to fit a small plate for smoking meat or other foods.

There’s nothing quite like wrapping yourself in a cozy robe on a cold day. This is the best robe we’ve tested, and we think the plush material, large pocket, and comfortable fit make it well worth the splurge. It’s available in sizes from XXS to 3X and is machine washable for easy cleaning.

This model has a smaller footprint compared to more advanced espresso machines, so while you’ll sacrifice some advanced features, it’s a better pick for those with less counter space.

It’s a great option for hosts or anyone looking to upgrade their at-home bar.

You can’t go wrong with gifting men a comfortable pair of socks. This Valentine’s Day-themed set includes four calf socks in subtle muted Valentine’s shades and patterns.
