LGBTQ Valentine's Day Gifts

The best Valentine's gifts show that you've been paying attention. They don't need to be expensive or elaborate—they need to feel specific to the person receiving them. What do they talk about wanting? What small pleasures do they gravitate toward? What would make their day a little better?

Think about the gesture as much as the gift itself. Sometimes it's about indulgence (something they wouldn't buy themselves), sometimes it's about creating a moment together, and sometimes it's simply about saying "I notice what you love." Chocolate gifts like Art of Chocolate or Chocolate Delight work when your partner has a sweet tooth. Self-care gifts like Spa Day , Me Time , or a Luxe Bathrobe say "you deserve to relax." For something you can share together, Celebration with Champagne or Celebrate Rosé set the tone for an evening in.

New relationships call for a bit of calibration. You want something thoughtful enough to show you care, but not so over-the-top that it feels presumptuous. The goal is warm and intentional without the pressure of grand romantic gestures.

Consumables tend to work well here—they're generous but not weighty. A box of quality chocolates or gourmet treats feels celebratory without suggesting you've already planned your future together. Heavenly Bites , Chocolate Delight , or My Moment all hit this note. If you want something slightly more substantial, Simply The Best or Just Because offer a curated mix without overwhelming. Avoid anything too permanent or personal until you know each other better.

Long-term relationships have the advantage of depth—you know what they love, what they've been wanting, what would genuinely make them happy. The challenge is avoiding autopilot. It's easy to default to the same gestures year after year, and even good gifts can lose meaning when they feel routine.

Consider what would feel like a treat right now, in this specific season of your lives together. Are things busy and stressful? Something that encourages rest—like Luxe Serenity, a Cashmere Blanket , or Me Time - might land perfectly. Is there a shared ritual you could lean into? Celebration with Champagne or Not Too Sweet gives you an evening to enjoy together. The most thoughtful gift is often the one that acknowledges where you both are, not just where you've been.

The problem with clichés isn't that they're bad—it's that they can feel like you grabbed the first "romantic" thing you saw rather than thinking about your actual partner. Red roses and heart-shaped boxes aren't wrong, but they don't say much.

To move past the obvious, think about what romance means in your specific relationship. Is it indulgence? Quality time? A small luxury they wouldn't buy themselves? Our faux flower arrangements offer lasting beauty without the wilting roses trope. Hot Stuff works for someone who'd rather have sriracha than sentiment. Not Too Sweet is perfect for partners who prefer savoury to sugary. The most romantic gift is often the one that proves you actually know them.

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about exchanging individual presents—sometimes the best gift is something that creates a shared experience. A night in together, something indulgent to share, an excuse to slow down and enjoy each other's company.

Look for gifts designed for two. Celebration with Champagne or Celebrate Rosé pair drinks with treats you'll open together. Chocolate boxes in small or large sizes are made for sharing. Not Too Sweet offers a charcuterie-style spread that turns snacking into an event. Even self-care gifts like the Luxe Bathrobe come in pairs if you want matching comfort. The point isn't the stuff—it's the time together that the stuff facilitates.

Not everyone wants flowers and chocolate, and that's completely fine. The best gift is always the one that fits the actual person, not some generic idea of what Valentine's Day "should" look like.

Pay attention to what they do enjoy. Are they practical? Something useful but elevated—like a quality bathrobe or cashmere blanket—feels luxurious without being frilly. Do they prefer experiences over objects? Think about gifts that create a moment rather than sit on a shelf. Are they more savoury than sweet? Not Too Sweet or Hot Stuff caters to that preference. And if they genuinely don't want gifts, respect that—sometimes the most romantic gesture is listening.

Yes—personalisation adds a layer of thoughtfulness that generic gifts can't match. It signals that this wasn't a last-minute grab; it was chosen specifically for them.

Our Luxe Bathrobe can be embroidered with initials or a name. You can add a custom message to any gift, turning even a simple box of chocolates into something more personal. For complete flexibility, our Design A Gift option lets you build a bespoke gift from scratch, choosing exactly what goes in and adding your own message. If you're unsure what they'd want, eGift Cards let them choose for themselves while still feeling like a considered gift.

Distance makes Valentine's Day harder, but it also makes gifts more meaningful. When you can't be there in person, sending something tangible is a way of showing up anyway.

Choose gifts that feel like a moment of connection despite the miles. Something indulgent they can enjoy while you're on a video call together. Something cozy that feels like a surrogate hug.

Chocolate gifts like Art of Chocolate or Chocolate Delight give them something to savour. A Cashmere Blanket or Luxe Bathrobe offers comfort when you can't be there to provide it. Celebration with Champagne or Celebrate Rosé lets you toast together from different cities. The key is choosing something that bridges the gap, even briefly.
