When shopping for the woman in your life, real romance isn't about the amount of money you spend or picking out the biggest bouquet of roses. It's about showing that you pay attention to her complaints, know what she likes, and appreciate what she does for you by gifting her something that makes her life easier. We're picking the bar up off the floor in 2025 with Valentine's Day gift ideas for women that are sure to please. Thoughtful, practical, whimsical, or appropriately mushy, these gifts go beyond the classic flowers and jewelry that you've already thought of.

An at-home pottery making kit
Best for a creative date night
Coming up with a fresh date night idea is a gift in itself, but with a pottery making kit from Sculpd, she'll also get a homemade trinket out of it. Order dinner, light some candles, and get creative at the kitchen table with 4.4 pounds of clay and the paint colors of your choosing. No kiln is needed — this clay air dries, but in a way more legit way than what you played with in elementary school.

A heart-shaped balloon lamp
Best for the maximalist
T.J. Maxx holiday decor aisle, meet your match. A more eco-friendly version of the traditional heart-shaped mylar balloon, this lamp will be any certified lover girl's favorite accent piece hanging on the wall of her choosing — rather than pitifully floating on the ceiling for a week.

The Ninja Slushi
Best for fun drink connoisseurs
If her favorite time of day is happy hour, she's correct, first of all. But rather than new martini glasses, the ultimate gift would be the Ninja Slushi: a frozen drink maker that can whip up a frozen marg, frappé, or frosé within the hour (no ice needed).

An indoor garden

A massage gun
Best for the lady who needs to relax
Whether she's sore from leg day or is dealing with chronic pain, a percussion therapy gun is the next best thing to a daily deep-tissue massage. These devices beat deep into muscles to repair fibers and enhance blood flow, both of which are crucial in relieving pain and for post-workout recovery. The Therabody Relief is a beginner-friendly model designed with just the right oomph for daily soreness and stiffness.

Seasonally appropriate cookware

Really nice bed sheets
Best for the lady who loves her sleep
There's just something inherently romantic about the gift of luxe bed sheets. Things get really sensual when you make the move from cotton to bamboo: softer, more sustainable, and better at temperature regulation. This set from ettitude has an almost silky appearance, but isn't so slippery that everything falls off.

Monthly wine deliveries

Winc Wine subscriptions are super customizable, catering to casual and refined palettes based on the wines you like (or don't like) in every box. Monthly boxes start at just $13 per vino.

The Dyson Airwrap
Best for long locks
There's no good mood like a "first few hair days after a salon blowout" mood. The latest version of Dyson's iconic hair styler puts that power in her hands on the daily. The Airwrap i.d. uses smart sensors to adjust heat and airflow to her hair type, and is available in two iterations: Curly+Coily and Straight+Wavy. Either determines a few of the six attachments included, though the fast dryer, Conical Airwrap barrel, and round volumizing brush come with both.

A gold-dipped rose

Generic gold jewelry or flowers are expected gifts, but combined? Mind blown. The Forever Rose is a real rose dipped in 24K gold that won't wilt like a real bouquet. You can opt for one that's fully gold, or a more traditional red or white with gold edges.

A travel jewelry box
Best for the jewelry hoarder
As a society, we've accepted that necklaces conspire to tie themselves in knots when we're not looking. It's even worse when traveling — unless they're organized with Mejuri's travel jewelry box. Inside, you'll find hooks for necklaces, holes for earrings, and a pocket for rings. The leather exterior can be monogrammed for free.

A weighted blanket
Best for the cuddler
Any enthusiast of rotting on the couch would likely appreciate the company of a weighted blanket. The weight of the tiny glass beads has been found to mimic the oxytocin-releasing sensation of being cuddled, which can help to quell anxiety or promote calmness whilst falling asleep. Brooklinen's 12 pounder has a textured side, making it feel a little less comforter-ish and a little more cozy quilt-ish.

A signature scent
Best for perfume girlies
Paying for your partner's new perfume pick is nice, but picking out their new signature scent yourself? Très romantique. PerfumeTok cannot stop hyping Prada Paradoxe, often mentioning how often it sparks compliments in public. The main note is neroli bud, but overall, it nails a really lovely combo of floral and musky.

A smart bed
Best for both of you
Even the most compatible couples may not agree on the comfiest sleeping situation. Compared to Sleep Number's other smart beds, the C4 is pretty modestly priced — considering it's technically a joint gift for both of you. This one can customize firmness to each of you, but upgrading frames introduces options like elevation and feet temperature control.

Her ever-growing experience in these categories comes in clutch when making recommendations on how to spend your money during shopping holidays like Black Friday, which Leah has been covering for Mashable since 2017.
The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah's main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home. (This number has probably gone up by the time you're reading this.) That at-home testing is standardized through Mashable's robot testing guide — a granular scoring rubric for assessing all aspects of owning and using a robot vacuum on the daily — that Leah created herself.
As Director of Special Projects, Nicole Cammorata helps guide Mashable's editorial innovations, licensing programs, and specialty series. Previously, she was the site's Executive Editor and its very first Shopping Editor before that.
