Best Valentine’s Day Gifts For Friends At A Glance

For Your Partner-In-Crime

It Doesn’t Get Sweeter Than This Candle

Candier You’re My Favorite Candle

With witty inscriptions and colorful, dessert-inspired scents, it’s easy to see why Candier’s candles have become popular gifts. Highlights from the brand’s Valentine’s Day collection include this “You’re My Favorite” candle, which is filled with heart-shaped sprinkles, the dessert-inspired “You’re The Icing To My Donut” candle and the candy heart-topped “Sweet Like Candy” design, which lives up to its name.


For The Yin To Your Yang

A Best Friend Necklace To Symbolize Your Bond

Baublebar Yin Yang 18K Gold Custom Best Friend Necklaces

It’s the classic BFF necklace from your childhood, reimagined in yin yang form. Each half of Baublebar’s charm can be personalized with an initial—yours on one, your friend’s on the other—in 18kt gold-plated sterling silver, for a gift that makes it cool to be sentimental. It also comes in a more classic heart version.


For The Pal Who Lives For A Matching Set

Celebrity-Approved Loungewear That’s Cute And Comfy

Eberjey Gisele Long PJ Set

In case you missed it, Selena Gomez just threw her bestie Nicola Peltz Beckham a surprise birthday party, decking everyone out in these Eberjey pajamas for the occasion. Now, you can gift the same super-soft (and blissfully temperature-regulating) sleepwear to your own inner circle, just in time to host a V-Day slumber party. There’s also a men’s style to match.


For The True Shutterbug

A Best-Selling Camera To Capture Magic Moments

Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera

Get all the charm of a classic polaroid camera with a few modern upgrades, like a selfie mirror and an exposure that automatically adjust to the light (or lack thereof). This camera is easy to use and comes in several fun colors.


For The Friend With A Green Thumb

A Heart-Shaped Plant To Mark The Occasion

The Sill Variegated String Of Hearts Plant

There’s nothing cuter than sending your friend a heart-shaped plant. This South African trailing succulent variety—that measures about one to two inches tall—will keep growing (like your friendship) into a trailing vine. The Sill shares helpful care instructions, so it should thrive in most environments. It needs bright indirect light, and water every one to two weeks. Choose from four planter options and add on a ceramic planter gift message to make it more personal.


For The Friend With A Sweet Tooth

Trendy Chocolates Infused With Champagne

Compartés Valentine’s Day 24 Karat Gold Moët Champagne Chocolates Box

Looking for a twist on a classic box of chocolates? Check out these Moët champagne-infused confections from Compartés. The Los Angeles-based chocolatier is known for its inventive flavors and beautiful designs, and these vegan dark chocolates—which are hand-brushed with 24kt gold—live up to the hype on both fronts. Plus, they come in a stylish croc-print, heart-shaped gift box that can be used to store keepsakes once the treasures inside have been devoured, of course.


For Your Most Online Friend

A Tik-Tok-Approved Tumbler

Stanley 40-Ounce Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler

We love this TikTok-viral tumbler, which is a cult favorite. Made from 90% recycled stainless steel, it can keep drinks hot for seven hours and cold for 11 hours. The tumbler comes with a convenient handle and straw, and you can choose from a range of colors (while they’re still in stock).


For The Pal Who Could Use A Drink

High-End Boxed Wine That’s Fit For Adulthood

Juliet Cabernet Sauvignon

Boxed wine, you ask? Yes—and it’s nothing like the stuff you drank back in college. Juliet has revamped the concept, offering a portable (and admittedly, quite cute) vat of vino that will stay fresh for four weeks after opening and is much less wasteful than its glass bottle counterpart. Plus, it tastes really good. Order your pal’s favorite varietal now, and be sure to bookmark—the brand will offer a discounted Pink & Red bundle (one Cab Sav and one rosé) throughout the month of February.


For Your Lifelong Ride-Or-Die

A Sweet Set Of Matching Sweatshirts

BFFs & Babes Ride Or Die Set Of 2 Bestie Sweatshirts

Sold as a set of two, these sweatshirts say it all. Each one is emblazoned with “Ride or Die” across the front and has half of a best friend heart on alternating cuffs, so when you stand together, the heart is complete. If you’re not in the market for a set, this “Love You More” pullover is equally cute and customizable.


For The Friend Who’s Always On The Move

A Beloved Tote Packed With Fitness Essentials
