Valentine’s Day is just under two weeks away, so if you haven’t done any searching for your sweetie yet, it’s time to get to it. To aid your quest, I have scoured the internet to find actually interesting Valentine’s Day gifts on sale that will still arrive before Friday, February 14, including a Fleabag-inspired candle, our best foot massager, and some non-candy options for kids.
I tried to keep most things under $100, but my fellow Strategist writers have also found plenty of gifts under $50 and under $25 if you want even more wallet-friendly options. And if you want to see all of our picks, see all of our Valentine’s Day gifts here.
If you both love puzzles, get this on-sale LEGO bouquet that you can build together and keep as “décor.”
This 878-piece bonsai-tree set would be good for the couple who likes a challenge.
If you’re stumped, you can’t go wrong with a nice pair of earrings. Over $100 off is a good deal on 14-karat gold jewelry hoops.
For a more personalized approach, this gem-studded ring works as either a birthday or Valentine’s Day gift. (All the other months are on sale, too.)
Supposedly, this Broken Rosary scent was inspired by the hot priest from Fleabag.
Our best overall foot massager is the ultimate de-stressing tool (and means you don’t have to give any more foot rubs yourself, so it’s a gift for both of you).
Or let the pros take care of any aches and pains. Through February 14, all gifts cards over $100 receive a complimentary $20 gift card for the NOW Massage, which has locations around the country.
If you’d like to splurge a little, these over-the-ear headphones from Beats are as cheap as they were on Black Friday. I like the pink, but they also come in neutral black and blue.
These stylish glasses might inspire a cocktail-testing date night.
Sorry, but gifting tea lovers another box of English Breakfast is boring. But they’ll appreciate this transparent teapot that’s great for admiring their brew while it steeps (especially when paired with blooming flower tea).
Something for the stoner Valentine (that they won’t mind leaving out).
Strategist readers can save an extra 10 percent on this stylish travel case, which is already discounted at Paravel. If you want to personalize the gift, it can be monogrammed for an added fee.
If their current wallet is ripping at the seams, might I suggest this handsome, under-$50 leather option from Fossil?
I would gladly accept these Neapolitan-esque sneakers as a Valentine’s Day gift.
Appease the kids on your gifting list with this set of Bluey figurines.
A sweatshirt for the kid who loves an on-theme outfit (though this definitely works year-round).
These candy-like stud earrings would be a sweet little gift for tweens.
Studio Arhoj is offering an excellent deal on its cute little ghost sculptures: Through Valentine’s Day, each ghost purchased will come with another (randomly selected) companion for free.
