Your Valentine will never know you waited until the last minute with sweet gifts like Lego Roses or a Laneige sleeping mask that features a sweet burst of gummy bear flavor. If you're shopping for your child, a Pokémon-themed ramen bowl is a great option.
"Icon glasses are having a moment, and this affordable set from Thyme & Table makes the perfect gift idea for everyone on your list, from friends to tweens to partners. I love how sweet the bows look, but you can also choose from hearts or an XO pattern." - Morgan Faulkner, Commerce Editor
"If you’re shopping for someone who is sensitive to the fragrance of real flowers or simply doesn’t care for them, Lego flowers are a great non-traditional way to gift flowers. These kits are also great for the nostalgia factor. One year, I gifted this exact set to my fiancé, who loved Legos as a kid, and we had the best time putting them together. Unlike real roses, these will last forever and can be used as decor after assembly. Lego also has a beautiful white orchid kit and a larger bouquet I have my eye on for future gifting." - Laura James, Commerce Editor

Their limited-edition launch with Kinder (available through February 14th) features a spread of chocolate, vanilla and chocolate hazelnut mini cupcakes overstuffed with mouth-watering fillings such as white chocolate ganache and hazelnut cream and topped with tiny Kinder bars.” - Ellie Sanders, Newsletters Editor

"I think a bouquet subscription from Urban Stems is a great gift! That way your loved one can enjoy their blooms well beyond Valentine’s Day...They also have an express delivery option for regular bouquets if you’re down to the wire and can’t make it to your local florist." - Noelle Paredes, Online Editor

If you want a pricier gift for your partner, you can't go wrong with this luxurious HGTV editor-favorite silk pillowcase from Slip or an electric foot massager. For the ultimate charcuterie board, this ready-made one with great cheeses, meats and pairings. Or, try a berry and rose-scented room spray from ultra-luxury brand Diptyque.
"I was introduced to Boarderie late last year, and ever since, I've sung its praises to anyone who will listen. Each charcuterie board is made fresh daily and arrives on your doorstep fully arranged and ready to eat — no cutting or arranging required...It's the perfect gift to send to that special someone who loves to host (or enjoy a wine night in!), and trust us, once you've tried Boarderie, you'll never make a DIY charcuterie board again." - Ellie Sanders, Newsletters Editor
"I have both received these wool slippers as a gift myself and gifted them twice, these are that good! These slippers are made from 100% pure wool, which means they’re self-cleaning, temperature-regulating and the epitome of cozy. They also mold to your feet after a few weeks, are durable and come in several muted colors. They come in a few silhouettes and both a soft sole, meant for indoor use only, and a rubber sole that can be worn indoors and outdoors." - Laura James, Commerce Editor

Time shouldn't stop you from getting a splurge-worthy gift. We couldn't help but be intrigued by these Forever Roses — but the real showstopper is the Hatch Restore 3 because sometimes, sleep is the best gift. These gifts are so good, you might just have to gift one for yourself, too!
"I received this viral smart sleep clock as a gift about a year ago, and it’s transformed my morning and nighttime routines. The biggest change I’ve noticed is waking up in the mornings has been a lot easier — instead of starting the day with a rude awakening from an abrupt, blaring phone alarm, I now wake up to the Hatch gradually brightening and eventually playing a soft, soothing sound like wind chimes, a flute or chirping birds." - Laura James, Commerce Editor
