Valentine's Day is almost here, so if you want to present your special gal with a token of your affection on Feb. 14, you'll need to kick your shopping into high gear. Gifts aren't everything, but when it comes to romance, they sure can help someone feel special on Valentine's Day. Wives, girlfriends or any special woman in your life will appreciate a sweet gesture, but finding the perfect gift isn't always easy. To help you out, we've compiled a great gift guide so you're bound to find something she'll love.
Maybe your valentine is the traditional type who'd love a box of candy or a pretty bouquet. If she prefers small luxuries, we've got a lovely perfume or Barbie champagne flutes. If your love is the practical type, earbuds or some cozy sweatpants might be more her speed. And if you're searching for jewelry, you can't go wrong with gold. Opt for a striking pair of studs or a sentimental locket to present on Valentine's Day.
Le Creuset is known for its timeless kitchenware. If your love is a fan of the brand's quality stoneware, she'll swoon over this Valentine-themed mug collection. Choose a pink, red or white heart-dotted 14-ounce mug, and she'll think of you when she sips her morning coffee. Bonus: These mugs are dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
A French rose scent makes a lovely Valentine's Day gift. Luxury perfumer Diptyque creates gorgeous, elegant scents, and this 3.4-ounce bottle of Eau Rose contains one of them. Eau de toilette is lighter than a perfume, and this delicate rose scent is perfect for daily wear. If you're in the mood to splurge, add the hand and body lotion too.
Sugarfina's Love Letters Tasting Box is almost as fun to open as it is to eat. Open the 16 "letters" to discover a variety of Sugarfina treats, including Strawberry Champagne Bears, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels, Long-Stem Roses, Eiffel Tower Gummies and more. If you're lucky, your lady might even share her stash.
If your gal is into the Barbiecore trend (all things pink and plastic) or if she just enjoys a nice glass of champs, these flutes make a great gift. This pair of gold metallic champagne flutes would look right at home in the Barbie Dreamhouse -- and that's the point. They're ready for gifting in a box Barbie herself would love.

There are 22 stunning flowers -- including romantic ranunculus and spray roses -- to admire in this bunch. Hot tip: Order now so there's time for delivery and use the code MINI15 to take 15% off.
Did you know that the "x" in "xo" is a kiss? These gold earrings are simple enough that she'll wear them all the time, but the design will remind her of your love. This pair is a Valentine's Day-themed gift, but it's nice and subtle. Carrie Hoffman's 14K X studs are available in yellow, rose and white gold.
Whether your love is working from home or simply likes lounging, she'll appreciate a pair of luxe cashmere sweatpants. Quince makes an affordable option just under $100, and you can even get them in Valentine's Day-appropriate burgundy. If you want to impress her with an entire outfit, add the matching cashmere hoodie.
Here's a fun gift that's straight from the heart. This little box comes with 40 wooden tickets, each with treats and offers for your partner to redeem. Breakfast in bed? Massage? Her choice on movie night? Bonus: You can personalize the box with her name on the front.
