Let's be honest, I gift myself little treats as if Valentine's Day was every day.
1. A bouquet of Lego roses you'll likely enjoy assembling and appreciate much more than a vase filled with living florals that will, sadly, die in a few days. Not to mention, Valentine's Day is right around the corner. 😉
Amazon, www.amazon.com
The set comes with 12 roses and 4 sprigs of baby's breath.
Promising review: "I've fallen in love with every LEGO Botanical Collection and this is no exception. Beautifully created." — Kelly S.
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
2. Or a heart-shaped Lego wreath featuring enough bricks to customize it exactly to your liking — set it up on a lil' hanging stand or prop it up against some books for a darling addition to your shelf.
Promising review: "My wife's heart just skipped a beat! This Lego Heart Ornament is officially her new obsession. It's like crafting meets flower arranging, with a sprinkle of pure joy. She's been flaunting her masterpiece on every shelf, and I swear I caught her whispering sweet nothings to it. Thanks for the heartwarming gift idea, Lego!" — Mike
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
3. Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash."
Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer
4. Dainty hoop earrings that are bound to give you actual heart eyes 😍 whenever you catch a glimpse of yourself wearing them.
Amazon
Promising review:"I wear these daily in my second ear piercing. Very lightweight. I get a lot of compliments on them." — Ruth Helen Knapp
Get them from Amazon for $12.59 (available in 10 styles).
5. A shaker of edible cocktail glitter, so just like Taylor Swift, you and your drinks can make the whole room ✨shiiiiiimmmerrrr✨.
Bakel is a small business that specializes in edible glitters for food and drink (fun!). I used the pink glitter to jazz up the drinks at my Taylor Swift–themed baby shower and it was a huge hit! It even looked fabulous when added to sparkling water. A little goes a long way, so don't be concerned when a tiny jar of glitter arrives — it'll be PLENTY.
Promising review:" Don't think any further and just buy it. This was so cool, and everyone loved it! I got the clear one because it will go with any drink. I will be the one to put this in all my friends' drinks. Also had no taste, so it was just the look. Sooooooo cool!" — gigi
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 18 colors).
6. Speaking of Taylor... treat yourself to an updated version of the Taylor Swift Little Golden Book! Fans will take one look and say I'm "enchanted to meet you." The new *~style~* comes with 22 (ooOoOh ooOoOh) bonus pages including stickers and fill-in-the-blank activities. You might find see a lil' Travis cameo within. 😉
I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." As the parent of a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I'm a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages in the first version was — so, naturally, I had to get the updated version! It's a short book, looks cute on my daughter's shelf, and is a hit for bedtime story time with my son who has, ahem, been mildly encouraged to *also* love Taylor Swift. What more could you want???
Get it from Amazon for $8.78.
Note: If you're a diehard Taylor fan here are some other book options you might enjoy:

7. A tulip-shaped tea infuser that'll look just darling hanging out in your favorite mug — bonus points if said mug resembles a flower pot.
Promising review:"What a cheerful tea infuser this is! It is so cute standing in my mug of tea! It stands well, infuses well, and washes well. It was a gift when I was recovering from surgery and it was such a welcome bit of cheer in the morning routine. It just makes me smile." — coaviatrix
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
8. A teeny French tart baking kit for anyone who wants a sweet treat for Valentine's Day but would really like to avoid buying an entire cake that'll likely go to waste on one person. This fun set will provide you with both an activity *and* dessert — what could be sweeter than that?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Cooking Gift Set is a small business. The kit comes with six tart rings, a piping bag, three nozzles, a coupler, a candy thermometer, a baking mat, and instructions (thankfully).
Promising review:"I just tried this product for the first time the other night. It was so easy, I couldn't believe it! The dough recipe that came with it turned out so delicious. I am very pleased with this kit. I can't wait to make more tarts." — capy
Get it from Amazon for $54.99.
9. A 100% leakproof 30-ounce stainless-steel BrüMate Era tumbler because there are few things as exciting these days as a shiny new emotional support cup. This baby will get you through Valentine's Day *and* then some.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer calls this her go-to water bottle. She says, "Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist, and throw it sideways in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all!"
Promising review: "Better than the rest. I've tried all the other brands, and this cup is THE BEST by far! Love that I can toss it in my bag or onto my passenger seat without worrying about a mess. It goes everywhere with me!" — Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors).
10. A book lover's journal for anyone who recently set a reading goal for 2025 and wants to take things to the next level by recording each one as you go. This fun journal has space to write about 52 books, along with reading challenges and writing prompts.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Kunitsa Co. is a small business!
Promising review: "Perfect journal for book lovers! I am always on the hunt for a great reading journal, and this cute journal is perfect to help me with my reading goals. It is super sturdy and there is lots of space to keep my thoughts organized. If you are looking for a great gift for a book lover, this is an inexpensive gift they will adore." — The Candid Cover
Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in six colors).
11. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey that has been *all the rage* on TikTok (which is how you know it's good). It's lightweight, has a touch of gloss to it, and the shade will have you saying "mhmmmm, honey!" from the second you apply it.
Amazon
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has personally tested this baby out. She said:
"I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick.
Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart."
Get it from Amazon for $25.
12. Mirrored cat-eye sunglasses reviewers are actually obsessed with. (They have over 12,000 5-star ratings!) They're reminiscent of styles designed by Dior but so inexpensive you won't bawl your eyes out if you accidentally sit on them. 😅
Promising review:"I love these. They remind me of my Dior glasses. They are adorable. They just look expensive, and apparently, they have polarization — good sun protection. They are very comfortable and functional." — Nicole Brennan
Get them from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 10 styles).
13. A layered necklace set reviewers have praised for not tarnishing *or* turning their skin green (no offense, Elphaba) which is unheard of at this price point! It'll make curating a cool style easier than ever (since it's a set, duh) but they each also be worn separately with necklaces you already have and love.
Amazon
Promising review:"I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven't taken them off since I received them and they look brand new still. I've worn them in the shower, pools, and beach, and they are still perfect." — Allison Kwong
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three finishes and 16 other styles).
14. A trinket dish you'll want to grab right *meow* — it'll look darling on a shelf next to your bed and will also ensure you don't lose your favorite ring...again.
Promising review: "This is great for any cat lady/jewelry lover in your life! I gifted this to an older friend of mine and she loves it! It's bigger than your typical jewelry dish so it's perfect for holding jewelry and small trinkets. I would definitely buy again if I had more friends who like cats!" — Lexi
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 34 styles).
15. Or a more festive heart-shaped trinket dished covered in tulips and multicolored wildflowers that'll look beautiful no matter where you choose to place it *and* will provide your favorite baubles with a much-needed home.

Check out the entire Mud Fairy collection for more flora/heart-covered home decor pieces.
Get it from Anthropologie for $24.
16. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how incredible it smells and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's only FIVE DOLLARS.
www.amazon.com
Reviewers have compared this perfume to the delectable scents of to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar (gasp!).
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $5.78 (available in two styles).
17. A heart-shaped terrarium for anyone with a green thumb that actually enjoys keeping little plant babies thriving — it comes fully assembled, but you will need to pick up the succulents, air plants, moss, etc.
Amazon
Promising review:"Yes, the terrarium is small, but for my first DIY terrarium project, it was a manageable size. From reading the reviews, I knew it was not watertight, so I lined the bottom with a quart-size freezer bag that I cut open. I lined the bottom with pebbles and a thin layer of activated charcoal before adding soil and plants. Another reviewer recommended not lifting the terrarium after it was filled so I placed it on a pretty tray that will also catch water and make it easier to move. I am in love with it and can't wait to make another, larger terrarium." — NB
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven styles).
18. A very dapper Squishmallow you won't be able to resist pick(le)ing out for yourself. I mean, look at him! He's better dressed than I am on my fanciest night out! Who needs a human to date when you can just hang with this guy!
Amazon
If you're purchasing this for an avid collector, you might benefit from an over-the-door Squishmallow holder.
Promising review:"My daughter has been obsessed with Squishmallows, particularly Charles the Pickle plush. We purchased this distinguished pickle as a Valentine's Day present for her, and she loved it. The character is cute, the color is true to the picture, and the quality and softness is everything you expect in a Squishmallow." — Adam and Andrea Burton
Get it from Amazon for $21.77 and check out these other Valentine's Day options like Aurora the Owl, Sy the Fish, a kiss-covered Stitch, and Cherry the Cherry.
19. A mason jar cold brew maker, in case you prefer to sip on iced coffee all year — yes, even when it's 15 degrees out in the middle of winter. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. Cheers!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories.
Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and colors).
20. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" — aka an absolute essential for achieving peak comfort goals in your living room. It features a spot to hold your remote, two mugs, and two additional beverages. You honestly may never want to leave your couch again.

Promising review:"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in seven colors).
21. A pack of squishy animal-themed gel pens (complete with 24 colorful refills!) that'll look adorable hanging out on your desk. There's enough in the pack that you can graciously pass 'em out to your friends, too. Valentine's Day wouldn't be complete without adding something that's borderline too cute!
Promising review: " These pens are fun for the senses! I didn't even realize they came with ink refills until I opened up the package. The gel ink refills are my favorite!" — Gomez-Orlioglu
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of three and five).
22. Satin pillowcases that are said to help prevent hair breakage and breakouts on your face — not to mention they'll make you feel like you're living in the lap of luxury the second your head hits the pillow each night. Reviewers can't get enough of this set for their price tag and high quality. (Seriously, they have over 217,000 5-star ratings!)

Reviewers also recommend going up a half size if you want to wear socks with your shoes.
Promising review:"These are so cute and perfect! They are comfortable and true to size! My expectations were beyond met! I have been sharing the link to these with so many people already!!!!

Get it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in women's sizes 5–10 and in five colors).
24. A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than twenty bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to your daily stack.
Promising review: "This bracelet is gorgeous! It really looks like real diamonds. I chose rose gold and if this holds up well, I will have to order another in silver. It's really nice that they offer a few different size options, I rarely see that. From reading the reviews, I saw some complaints about the clasp but, I think it's nice. It's very secure so there's no chance of it coming off." — Sarah Downs
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
25. Or a rainbow repeating Mickey Mouse tennis bracelet that'll add some color and pizzazz to your arm candy — just imagine how lovely it'll look when the sun hits it as you're scrolling Insta looking for the next Disney-style trend.
Amazon
Promising review:"This is so cute and dainty. From a distance, you can't tell that the stones are Mickeys because they are so small, but when someone notices or I show them, they really are impressed at how beautiful it is." — FNN
Get it from Amazon for $60 (available in three styles).

Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
27. Stylish chunky teardrop earrings that are a dead ringer for the Bottega Veneta ones, but you'll still be able to afford to treat yourself to an iced coffee after snagging them. They're gold-plated (sweeeeeet), and lightweight, and reviewers have said they don't affect their sensitive ears.
Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra-large size).
28. A pretty porcelain vase covered in hearts and florals, so gorgeous and perfect for Valentine's Day you'd think that Cupid himself designed it.

Get a set of six from Amazon for $59.95.
30. A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly onto your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night, and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone, this light is still my go-to when reading. It's better than any nightstand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck, but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" — Linda Holloway
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven styles).
31. And a triangular book page holder — an absolutely genius idea for readers who simply *need* somewhere handy to place their book when they start to fall asleep mid-reading. It perfectly fits on nightstands and is designed to *~aesthetically~* hold your spot — it also has a place to put your glasses and a phone. How much better does this evening sound than shouting across the table in a crowded restaurant? Sign me up.
Amazon
Besuerte Store is a small business. The larger size has a spot for a cup as well!
Promising review:"I took a chance on this one despite it having very few reviews. It took a little bit to arrive but the product was well worth the wait. I love that it is a beautiful solid wood piece and was packaged in a way that didn't require assembly and would not be damaged upon delivery. Overall, I'd say it exceeded my expectations and is priced well." — R. Young
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles).
32. Aesop Aromatique Hand Balm you might want to think twice about buying because it's going to ruin every other hand cream for you — it smells divine and is so hydrating you'll wonder if it was handcrafted by Poseidon.
Heather Braga / BuzzFeed
My husband bought me this for Christmas (after becoming very obsessed with Aesop's Rind Concentrate Body Balm) and it is unreal how well it works. A little goes such a long way — it really is quite possibly the most hydrating hand lotion I've ever tried. This specific one is filled with Cedar Atlas, Patchouli, Clove Bud, which gives it a very unique floral aroma that everyone should experience once in their life. BRB while I pause writing this post to search for a candle that smells like this...OK, I'm back. I also took a second to put some of the lotion on. It genuinely absorbs immediately into my skin — I'm not sure how I ever survived winter without it!
Promising review:"This was definitely a splurge for me, but I will be repurchasing again and again! The cream feels luxurious and smells like a spa! It's not greasy, and absorbs well." — Bunnylady
Get it from Amazon for $33 (available in three scents).
33. A darling heart-shaped Paris Hilton cast-iron Dutch oven you can leave out on display during February for Valentine's Day but also, obviously, utilize all year for whipping up delicious recipes. It'll have you saying "Le Who-set?" whenever someone asks if it's from another, pricier brand.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"10/10! A perfect-sized pot for 1–2 people to share a meal, cook out of, or eat out of! I just received it yesterday, and I've already cooked with it twice with no issues at all. It's the cutest light pink color and the shape of a heart at a fantastic price. I currently own three Dutch ovens and this is the best one that I already use way more often than the other two. It is not heavy at all, and it is very manageable for an everyday pot. Super easy to clean with some soaking after letting it cool down and rubbing with the soft side of the sponge." — D. Dorado
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
34. A DIY miniature bookstore model that'll be worth all the assembly it'll take to craft it (about 20 hours). Make room for it within your full-size books and start telling visitors a fairy actually hangs out there reading all night. (Why wouldn't they believe you?)
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This model has been such an enjoyable build. As of now, I am not completely finished. Having put around 20 hours into it, I'd say I have another eight hours more to go. The pieces are all vibrantly pre-painted, with the exception of one large base piece. The glue and tweezers it comes with are perfect for the job. The cloth I had gotten for the couch was not large enough, but I improvised by using another color cloth (that also came with the kit) for the seat. The attention to detail in this little study is just first class. I even recognized books that I have read/purchased in the past within this model! I am not experienced at all with building wooden kits, and I was still able to do this one perfectly with minimal struggle. I will certainly be buying more Robotime models in the near future; the greenhouse one is next :)!" — B.R.J.G.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in eight other styles).
35. A Sonic The Hedgehog device stand for longtime gamers who need A. somewhere to put their controller when they aren't playing and B. would love seeing this nostaglic pal hanging out on their shelf all the time.
www.amazon.com
This stand can hold most hand-held electronics, business cards, and remotes. If Sonic isn't your thing, you might like a Stormtrooper or Groot version!
Promising review:"The packaging was way better than I expected and the quality of the build is amazing! It can hold just about anything I want it to! Nothing falls out of his hands when I did a table shake test. It'd literally take a table, or desk, flip to pry out anything from Sonics hands... or maybe Dr. Eggman himself... LOVE THIS!" — NyteWatch
Get it from Amazon for $23.99.
36. A disco ball diffuser that'll turn every day into a dance party (why not, right?!) — and she's more than just a pretty face. It features four mist functions, seven lighting options, and rotates!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
See it in action on TikTok.
Note: according to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.
Promising review: "It's more than just a diffuser; it's pure magic in a compact package. 🪩 The disco ball adds a touch of glamour to my space that I never knew I needed. The quality is outstanding — it feels solid and well-made. Setting it up was a breeze. Watching the light dance across the room, reflecting off the disco ball, is incredibly soothing and mesmerizing. The mist it emits is so refreshing! Plus, it runs whisper-quiet, so it doesn't disrupt my peace and tranquility. But the best part? It's not just a diffuser; it's an experience. My friends and family are obsessed with it, and I've even had a few impromptu dance parties because of it! It's turned my patio into a disco paradise. ✨🌈💃" — Fern's Jungle
Get it from Amazon for $33.97+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

38. Kitsch's claw clip, which will help you tame your tangled locks into a stylish updo — no need to lose patience trying to look presentable on days your hair simply won't cooperate. It's super strong, has a sturdy clamp that'll serve every hair type, and has a delicate look to it that'll make you feel like a princess on their day off.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review:"Love that you can dress this up or down! It is my go-to accessory for working in preschool to put my hair up quickly. It is elegant and classic. It is amazingly durable even in getting thrown in the bottom of my heavy work bag! I am amazed by this clip. I have coarse medium thick hair and it is the perfect size." — Niki
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two styles).
39. A Bonne Maman "Love Note" gift set complete with the cutest jars of jam you'll ever lay your eyes on and a stack of notecards/envelopes so you can express your love to your besties the old school way — through the mail (while chowing down on toast, obviously).

The gift set comes with five mini jars of jam in a variety of flavors, one mini jar of honey, a branded mini spoon, and 10 matching notes/envelopes.
Get it from Bonne Maman for $25.90.
40. Pink Joy-Con controllers you can swap out for the ones that come with the Nintendo Switch OLED — these will add a fun pop of color to your gaming sesh while feeling like the perfect, festive Valentine's Day treat.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
I have these pink Joy-Con controllers and they simply make me happy. That should be reason enough to treat yourself, right? Anyways, they connect just as easily as the controllers my Switch OLED came with and function exactly the same. They just add a fun aesthetic to my gaming and I love that! It's also been nice to have an extra set of Joy-Con controllers when I want to play more interactive games with guests (and will definitely come in handy as my kids get older and want to join in on the fun).
Promising review: "I got these for my sister along with the new Princess Peach game and she loves them. She loves the color so much." — alpha85
Get them from Amazon for $79.99 (also available in four other colors)
41. And a Valentine's Day pack of Baked by Melissa cupcakes inspired by a box of chocolates that'll have you quoting Forrest Gump's mom until you've eaten every last one. It features dark chocolate, marshmallow, Dulce de Leche, brookie, red velvet, and strawberry flavors. Delish!
Baked by Melissa
For an additional fee you can add a personalized card — great for a long distance love!
Promising review:"This box of cupcakes makes the perfect gift for someone you love and an even better Valentine's day treat!! The box is so cute and everything was delivered in perfection condition. The cupcakes are adorable and they taste so fresh. So small BUT SO MUCH flavor!! I loved the strawberry, Dulce de Leche and marshmallow the best :) Truly never disappoints." — Ava
