Love is officially in the air: February 14th is just around the corner. Valentine’s Day gives us an excuse to celebrate those loving feelings we have for others, and for ourselves. To help you find that perfect gift for someone in your life—and to also treat yourself to a goody or two—we searched high and low for Valentine’s Day–appropriate picks that are sure to please. You’ll find everything from sweets to stationery to spirits. You can take the more traditional route with a flower delivery or chocolates, or opt for something more unexpected with a collection of love poems or heart-shaped beef jerky (carb counters, rejoice!). When we say there’s something for everyone, we’re not kidding. Read on for 26 ways to spread the love.

Love Belt Buckle

We wear our hearts on our sleeves, so why not give waistlines a little love—quite literally. This handmade solid brass buckle takes its inspo from the name belts of the 1970s. It’ll work with your fave 1.25-inch or 1-inch belt strap and can add a little amor to your ensemble anytime.

Colorful Hearts Straw Beach Tote

This may be a beach bag, but it will brighten up any outfit and occasion, whether you’re heading on a special seaside vacay or just out to lunch with the girls. It’s handwoven from paper straw, lined, and can be monogrammed.

Enameled Cast-Iron Heart Skillet Fry Pan

Heart-shaped omelets, brownies, fruit cobblers—those are just a few things you can cook up with this pan. From cult fave French brand Le Creuset, it’s both highly functional (made from durable cast iron and specially crafted to evenly distribute and retain heat) and fabulous enough to go from oven to table.

Meathearts

Is the love in your life living a sugar-free, low-carb life? Keto, paleo, or meat lover, they’ll love these etched beef jerky treats. Made by hand in California, they make a satisfying midafternoon snack and may just give those good old sugary hearts a run for their money.

French Terry Love Crewneck

Forget Valentine’s Day; this is the kind of sweatshirt you or your loved one will want to wear every day. It’s made from a plush French terry cotton and has an effortless relaxed fit. It looks just as great as a casual accompaniment to jeans as it does dressed up with a skirt.

Lip Fetish Sheer Colour Balm

It’s hard to decide what we love more—the sheer kiss of color this balm gives lips or the artful packaging. But it’s not a contest. With hydrating ingredients like vitamin E and shea butter, we just know that it deserves a coveted spot on any vanity.

Confetti Heart Mug

As its description states, this mug’s creation was a labor of love. It’s been wheel-thrown and hand-painted by artisans at a studio in Vermont. Made from stoneware pottery, its neutral colors will jibe with any kitchen decor, and it’s even microwave-, oven-, and dishwasher-safe.

Love Poems Banded Book Set

Whether you don’t have your own way with words or you just appreciate the written word, this set of bound poems, letters, sonnets, and songs by greats like Cummings, Yeats, and Shakespeare will make a wonderful heartfelt gift.

Double The Carmine Bouquet

Of course, roses are the beloved Valentine’s Day bloom of choice, but why not spice things up with an equally beautiful, more unexpected flower delivery? This bountiful red-haute bouquet contains 42 anemone buds.

Le Kool Champagne Cuvée Rosé

This special rosé is all about celebrating good times. Why, you ask? It was created by Robert Kool Bell, of the band Kool and the Gang. Cue “Celebration”—pretty sure you know the song. Produced in Reims, France, with notes of cherry and raspberry, this bubbly is great as an aperitif or pairs perfectly with grilled meats and dessert. So, if the feeling’s right on ladies’ night, cheers!

Loved Mood Melting Salt Soak

We’re bath fans here at Oprah Daily, and this soak will hit the spot. It's a mix of mineral-rich dead sea and Himalayan salt plus emollient sunflower oil and smells of bergamot, coconut, and rose. It even includes a bamboo spoon so you can ration out the self-love.

Tourmaline Necklace

Multicolored tourmaline stones from Indonesia make this necklace beautiful enough, but look closely and you’ll see that each bead is heart-shaped. It’s adjustable, and it’s a lovely piece for layering or to be worn solo.

Nick Cave x Eli's Cheesecake Cuties

These cheery cheesecake bites are a collab between Eli’s Cheesecake and artist Nick Cave, with each design symbolizing a sweet sentiment of love, equality, happiness, and peace. They may look too cute to eat, but you’ll want to—each color is a different delish flavor (vanilla, raspberry, lemon, chocolate-vanilla, and dulce de leche). Proceeds go to the Facility Foundation supporting young, underrepresented artists with scholarships and other opportunities.

Watercolor Heart Scented Candle Gift Set

To set the mood with romantic and flattering ambient lighting, one candle may not get the job done. Enter this delightful trio. The ceramic vessel has a watercolor-inspired design, and the candles have warm, earthy notes of vanilla, tobacco, and amber.

Cozy Socks

This pairing makes perfect sense: A cozy night in calls for equally cozy socks. This fuzzy heart-filled pair promise to snuggle soles in softness.

Pajama Set

Certain things have the power to set you up for a sound sleep—a warm bath, a soothing cup of herbal tea, and, of course, a comfy pair of pj's. This kiss-covered set is made from soft pima cotton and is perfect for lounging before it’s time to hit the sheets.

Oprah’s “The Life You Want” Love and Happiness Journal

Here’s a gift you can give to yourself. Oprah’s “The Life You Want” Love and Happiness Journal was created to help you work on all the relationships in your life—including the one with yourself—and realize the love you want. You won’t be going it alone. There are exercises, writing prompts, and inspiring quotes from Oprah and other thought leaders to guide you every step of the way.

Celine Hearts Mini Pillow

This isn’t just any sweet little pillowcase. Made from luxe 500-thread-count Egyptian cotton and measuring 12 inches by 16 inches, it’s meant to be a keepsake and can be embroidered with anything from a name to a meaningful message.

Flirty Notecards

Texting may be the communication medium of choice these days, but there’s nothing like sharing your sentiments on beautiful stationery. This set of 10 smile-inducing notecards gives you five different hand-drawn cards with zippy matching envelopes.

Love Cosmetic Bag

What’s not to love about this cosmetic case? At 9 inches long and 4 inches deep and with four pockets inside, it’s just the right size to fit a few bottles, and then some. Plus, it also comes in over 30 color combos, so there’s a makeup bag match for everyone.

Red Velvet Popcorn Tube

Movie night gets more amusing with red-velvet-flavored caramel corn drizzled in white chocolate. This delightful snack comes in a handy tube that could be tucked into a large tote if you’re hitting the theater. We won’t tell.

Poplin Button-Front Embroidered Hearts Shirt

This classic button-down is jazzed up by the embellishment of embroidered hearts yet still stays in the refined zone. In cotton poplin, it’s great with jeans and sneakers or pants and pumps.

Love Chocolate Box

There’s something for every chocolate lover in this little love nest. The heart-shaped confections come in flavors like lychee, pineapple matcha, and pistachio rose, while the enrobed pieces are dark and milk chocolate, praline, and more. It’s all wrapped up in a keepsake box by Los Angeles–based artist Alexandra Grant.

Heart Band Ring

Now here’s a ring that would suit just about any style. In silver or with 14k yellow or rose gold plating, one will be a welcomed guest to any ring party. Or invite a few for multi-metal or single-toned stack.

Heart-Shaped Tea Bags

We may not have the science to prove it, but we’re pretty sure that everything tastes a little better when it’s heart-shaped. Made in France, this set of 15 tea bags includes a trio of flavors: English breakfast, organic Earl Grey, and organic white berry.

Mini Heart Waffle Maker

Waffles are always a breakfast fave. And when the a.m. go-to is heart-shaped? Score. This mini device lets you whip up waffles in 10 minutes or less. And its small size makes it a great option for those in apartments or dorms with a conservative amount of counter space.
