Valentine's Day can be a minefield for gifts that totally miss the mark with a significant other — but it doesn't have to be. We've combed the gifting landscape and found 25 Valentine's Day gifts for her that your wife, girlfriend, partner, (er, mom?) will actually like.
And we don't mean she'll smile and say thanks, only to throw whatever it is in a pile and never think about it again (unless it's to consider what a subpar present it was). We mean she'll delight in a truly premium blanket to cuddle up with on chilly afternoons. She'll wear the hell out of trendy new sneaks and a Valentine's Day-inspired sweater that's not too, you know, Valentine's Day-y. She'll need this iPad to watch all the content if TikTok shuts down again!
Below, you'll find tech gifts that she'll find useful, themed gifts that are just the right amount of saccharine, and personalized presents she'll want to keep for years to come. Remember: Finding a Valentine's Day gift for her doesn't have to be hard, you just need a friend with the right suggestions. We're that friend.
Ninja has created a number of excellent countertop appliances over the years (we're big fans of the underrated Foodi Air Fry Oven), but the Creami has to be one of its most viral sensations. The TikTok-famous ice cream maker for dummies — no offense, literally anyone could make ice cream with this things — is rarely on sale because it's so popular. Getting one of these bad boys might cool down the steamiest day of the year, but in this case, that's a good thing.
Ninja® CREAMi® 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker Level Up Her Ice Cream Game.
Shark® FlexFusion™ Air & Ceramic System with Air Straightener.
A good hair dryer is expensive; a great hair dryer is even more expensive and probably something she wouldn't want to buy for herself. Shark's FlexFusion system comes with a hair dryer, curling barrels, and a straightener, which means you'd essentially be revamping her entire hair drawer. (Yes, the "hair drawer" is a thing.).
Shark® FlexFusion™ Air & Ceramic System with Air Straightener Cut Her Blowout Time in Half.
This triple-striped sneaker is modern, yet evocative of the '70s style that's back in fashion in 2025. The pink color is a nod to Valentine's Day, but if you can't see her sporting the hue, go for one of the other dozen color combos available.
adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor For the Casually Cool Girl.
Ooni's game-changing personal pizza ovens have a devoted following for a reason: they're the best on the market. The Koda 2 Max is one of the largest models available, meaning she can make two pizzas at once or even toss a side dish in while cooking a pizza. It's ideal for the couple who host dinner parties or have small kids who need their cheese pizzas five minutes ago.
Ooni Koda 2 Max Gas Powered Pizza Oven For the Pizza Lover.
Women's Team Logo Victory Script Pullover Hoodie.
Look, we're not saying she needs to support the Kansas City Chiefs because a certain über-famous pop star has made them the team du jour. We just love the soft cotton-poly blend of this sweatshirt from Fanatics. Shop by whatever team she supports, whether they're in the NFL, NHL, or heck, even Nascar.
Women's Team Logo Victory Script Pullover Hoodie For the Sports Fan.
Has she been mulling over a switch from barre to pilates? Has she passed a hot yoga studio and mused about trying it out? Gift her a ClassPass card, which will allow her to dip her toe into whatever new exercise she's considering, without feeling like she's investing too much.

For the woman who loves a bit of seasonal swag, may we suggest this sweet sweater? The cotton blend is cozy and though it's perfect for the holiday, it's also just a cute sweater to wear any time of year. (No one wants to wear a sweatshirt emblazoned with "I HEART VALENTINE'S DAY" in June.).
Language of Love Amour Sweater For the Seasonal Sweater Fan.
JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition ANC Over-Ear Headphones.
Is she living on the cutting edge of technology? Audiophile-fav brand JLab just revealed these sleek Epic Lux Lab Edition wireless headphones during CES 2025.

JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition ANC Over-Ear Headphones If She Needs Some Peace and Quiet.
We've tested all the most popular tablets, and we're still convinced the Apple iPad Air is the best of the bunch. It's lightweight, has huge power reserves, and it's ideal for casual use. Even if she says she's good with just a phone or a laptop, she might find herself using an iPad way more than she anticipates for videos, recipes, and fitness apps.
Apple iPad Air 11-inch If She Still Doesn't Have an iPad More.
BrüMate Era 40 oz Tumbler with Handle and Straw.
Water bottle brands are the new sports teams. People like what they like, and they want to convince you to like it, too. But guess what? I don't have to sell you on Brümate's Era tumbler — it simply is the best. It's leakproof, has a straw that's metal on the bottom but plastic on the top (because no one likes to drink from a metal straw), keeps drinks cold for 24 hours, and can be tossed in the dishwasher. It fits into cupholders and comes in a truckload of colors, including this guava number.
BrüMate Era 40 oz Tumbler with Handle and Straw If She's in Her Hydration Era.
Furbish's needlepoint pillows are all the rage for those with a particularly dry sense of humor. This one works well for Valentine's Day — because she's perfect, natch — but there are a ton of options. Perhaps, "I Want to Be Where the People Aren't" is more her speed?
"Nobody Is Perfect" Pillow by Furbish If She's a Bit Cheeky.
Shameless plug: I got my mom this blanket for Christmas and you've never seen a happier 65-year-old woman. She's a fancy lady (you know the type), and even she was impressed by how soft this bubble blanket is. She says it feels like a cat, which, in this context, is a major compliment. It comes in four colors and two sizes, and the only catch is that it tends to sell out, so buy it while you can get it.
Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Blanket For the Cozy Boo.
Sauz Hot Honey Marinara Sweet and Spicy Tomato Sauce.
Hot Honey Marinara for your hot honey, amirite? Seriously, get yourself to Costco and get several jars of this. Don't tell Rao's, but this has become my go-to marinara for spaghetti night. It's not regular spaghetti sauce, it's cool spaghetti sauce. Bonus points if you use it to make her a classy dinner on Valentine's Day.

Encourage some cuddles with the SuperSac, the beanbag chair for grown-ups. This is the perfect size for two adults cozying up to watch a movie, but it's just one of five sizes ranging from the CitySac (for one adult) to The BigOne (for four adults).

Kiss Me Embroidered Ruffle Heart Throw Pillow.
If she grew up in the '90s, there's a solid chance she had some variation of this hear-shaped pillow on her childhood bed. Give her a throwback with this version from UO Home, which includes a candy heart-classic phrase: "Kiss me."

Clyde Hydrogen partners with PlusZero to pilot green hydrogen electrolyser

Glasgow University spinout Clyde Hydrogen has partnered with Hebrides-based green hydrogen producer and distributor, PlusZero, to demonstrate its decoupled electrolyser technology for the first time outside of the laboratory.
PlusZero will deploy one of Clyde Hydrogen’s commercial demonstrator electrolysers and will support the operation and testing of the demonstrator for a period of at least 6 months.
Clyde Hydrogen contends with one of high pressure green hydrogen production's biggest challenges to date by aiming to deliver it safely at scale and at low cost. This has the potential to match renewable energy with hydrogen production more than is currently possible.
PlusZero has secured funding support from the Scottish Government’s Emerging Energies Technology Fund (EETF) to develop its first green hydrogen production facility at the Creed Hydrogen Skills and Innovation Centre in Stornoway.
Launching in October 2025, the collaborative project with the Western Isles Council and the University of the Highlands and Islands, North, West & Hebrides integrates commercial production of green hydrogen and oxygen, hydrogen technology training, and cutting-edge research and field testing of next-generation electrolyser technology.
The MoU also gives PlusZero an option to purchase an initial order of 10 MW electrolyser capacity from Clyde Hydrogen.
James Peck, Clyde Hydrogen’s CEO, commented: “I’m delighted to sign this agreement with PlusZero who we believe are an ideal partner to deliver our commercial demo. Last month, we achieved a milestone technical breakthrough in our technology and to already sign our first commercial agreement is testament to the game-changing potential of our pioneering technology and commercial traction we are already receiving.”.
David Amos, PlusZero Founder and Managing Director added: “At PlusZero, our mission is to accelerate the availability of affordable green hydrogen, empowering our end-individuals to achieve their decarbonization goals. Clyde Hydrogen's ground-breaking electrolyser technology offers a transformative leap in cost efficiency and production flexibility. We are thrilled to support their efforts in bringing this cutting-edge Scottish produced solution to market."

Linux Foundation Europe and OpenSSF launch initiative for EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance

The EU Cyber Resilience Act sets new regulatory requirements for software security, placing a significant emphasis on the safety and security of digital products sold within the European market.
The joint initiative helps develop and formalise much-needed cybersecurity standards and compliance frameworks to help 100+ million open source communities understand and meet the regulatory requirements outlined in the CRA, to expand efforts to address legislation around the world.
The initiative will focus on several core deliverables over the coming months to help EU policy makers, including:
Discussing and formalising cybersecurity specifications.
Implementing compliance processes and tooling.
“As the steward for some of the most critical open source projects in the world, we feel the responsibility to reduce friction for our maintainers and software manufacturers leveraging upstream open source to comply with these regulations," stated Mirko Boehm, Senior Director for Community Development at Linux Foundation Europe.
"While the CRA represents the most immediate priority, our global nature means we can support projects across jurisdictions and prevent the burden of a fragmented regulatory landscape through established community-driven standards and tools like those in OpenSSF. ”.
“CRob” Robinson, Chief Security Architect of the OpenSSF, the responsibility for these practices rightly falls upon commercial entities to perform and provide, not the upstream open source maintainers.
“Mature manufacturers should already be doing the majority of the legislated requirements, while those that are not doing them will still have a short runway until the CRA finally goes into effect in 2027.”.
The Linux Foundation Europe and OpenSSF invite the broader open source community to participate in this initiative. To get involved visit Global Cyber Policy WG GitHub or join slack channel #wg-globalcyberpolicy.
