But that's where we come in -- the shopping experts at CBS Essentials have rounded up the best Valentine's Day gift ideas for her in 2024. 

These gifts come at a variety of price points, so you'll be able to give her the perfect gift even if you're sticking to a budget.

But if you truly just can't figure it out, there's always an Amazon gift card.


Best Valentine's Day 2024 gifts for her

Everybody loves getting a thoughtful gift. Whether she's interested in beauty, fitness or more, there's a gift idea for her ahead.


For your it girl: BloomsyBox It Girl

You can't go wrong with a classic bouquet of flowers

This bunch of 15 Sarah Bernhardt peonies are sure to impress. The BloomsyBox It Girl bouquet arrives as buds to ensure a full flowering experience. Be sure to order now before Feb. 14 delivery slots fill up.

Why we like these flowers:

  • Pink flowers on Valentine's Day -- does it get any better?
  • You can also add a gift message.

For the perfume collector: Maison Margiela Replica On A Date eau de toilette

Maison Margiela Replica On A Date eau de toilette
Sephora

Replica On A Date has notes of black currant liquor accord, Isparta rose petal and patchouli. This warm floral fragrance "recreates the memories of falling in love" and comes in three sizes. She can wear this perfume to your Valentine's Day date. 

The price listed is for the 1-ounce bottle size.

Why we like this perfume: 

Scents bring back memories, and she'll remember this Valentine's Day forever when she sprays on this perfume.


For your sweetie with a sweet tooth: Last Crumb luxury Valentine's Day cookie collection 

Last Crumb luxury Valentine's Day cookie collection
Last Crumb

She'll have cookies for days thanks to this delivery. The premium, handcrafted cookies inside are ever decadent. They come individually wrapped and in a gift box.

Flavors include Nutella heist (with Nutella, graham crackers and marshmallow), the floor is lava (with a chocolate ganache core), creme de la crumb (with an Oreo filling swirl) and more.

Why we like these cookies:

Valentine's Day is all about the sweets, and these cookies go a step above some candy.


For the passenger princess: Stanley The Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler (40 oz.)

Iris Stanley cup
Stanley

You can't go wrong with gifting a cult-favorite Stanley cup. People swear by 40-ounce Stanley Quencher cups because they keep water ice cold for 11 hours, have a convenient handle, fit in car cup holders despite their large size and have a straw that makes staying hydrated just a little more fun. Plus, they come in a variety of appealing colors, including pretty pastels. 

The viral version of the Stanley cup is the 40-ounce model, likely because drinking two of them almost equals the suggested daily water intake for women, taking the guesswork out of drinking enough water each day. Stanley also makes a smaller 30-ounce version of its Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler ($35) and a massive new 64-ounce version ($60).

Why we like Stanley cups:

  • They're huge, so they require fewer refills, which may encourage you to drink more water.
  • They come in eye-catching colors, including special limited editions. These sell out often, so it's fun to collect rare colors.

For the comfy girly: Lake Pima long-short weekend pajama set

Pima Long-Short Weekend Set
Lake

She'll get so much use out of this super-soft Pima cotton pajama set. It's currently available in year-round seasonal colors, including striped-, snowflake-, dot-, and heart-shaped patterns.

This cute PJ set comes with a long sleeve top, plus shorts with an elastic waistband and three-inch inseam. Find it in sizes XXS to XXL.

Want to make her Valentine's Day extra special? You can pay $10 more and have this PJ set delivered in a gift box.

"They're so soft, cute and comfy," a reviewer on the Lake site says. "They are not a cheap, thin material like many lounge outfits -- you can tell it is high quality."

Why we like this PJ set:

These jammies are super soft and stylish. They comes in five cute colors and run from an XXS to an XXL.


For the jet setter: Beautifect Box

Why we like this vanity case:

  • This vanity case offers lighting so you can get your makeup blended and color-matched just right. It keeps your makeup and brushes organized, too.
  • One charge lasts for up to a whole month.

For the girl who loves surprises: FabFitFun seasonal box

FabFitFun

Allow FabFitFun to create a gift assortment for you with their seasonal boxes. A box comes with six full-size premium products from brands such as Our Place, Ana Luisa, Coach, Free People and more. 

The easiest way to gift a box is by giving a FabFitFun gift card. Note that the gift card is emailed immediately when you purchase it, so you can email it to yourself first to avoid any spoiled surprises. You can also include a personal message. 

Why we like FabFitFun:

A subscription offers a fun gift seasonally and allows you to try a bunch of different brands. It also takes the work out of creating a gift basket for you.


For the snacker: Boarderie Valentine's Ciccetti cheese & charcuterie board

Boarderie Customizable Birthday Cheese & Charcuterie Boards
Boarderie

There's Valentine's Day chocolates, and then there's a Valentine's Day charcuterie. Indulge her savory tooth with this gift from Boarderie. It includes 18 artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, olives and some chocolates. 

This board is made fresh daily in three sizes. It comes with an Acacia wood serving board and even Valentine's Day-themed cheeses. 

Why we like Boarderie:

  • This gift takes the work out of creating a charcuterie board. The boards are made fresh daily and look and taste great.
  • This gift is a great option for people who don't really have a sweet tooth.

For the sporty girly: Cuts bestsellers kit

Cuts

Upgrade her basics with this Cuts tops sampler. Cuts is a basics brand that makes athleisure that's nice enough to wear to the office. 

This sampler comes with a high-quality tank (in black), a T-shirt (in ballet, a pink) and cropped T-shirt (in dune, an off-white), all of which are Cuts bestsellers. 

Find these tops in sizes S to XXL. These tops are a $168 value, but you're getting them for $100 by buying this bundle.

Why we like these basics:

For the choosy: Amazon gift card
