10 Best Valentine's Gifts for Her in 2020

It’s that time again fellas: Valentine’s Day. That special day where you take a break from celebrating Black History Month to show appreciation for your own queen. Take some extra time this year to find her the perfect gift — it won’t take too long though, we’ve done the digging for you. Check out these 10 amazing gifts that your woman is sure to love. We even dropped a few gems with the #1 spot.

10. Üllo + Decanter

If your woman is a wine drinker, she’ll love Üllo. This sleek and compact filter for red and white wine acts as both a sulfite filter and aerator. The purifier pulls out the sulfites, so she can enjoy the natural flavor of wine without the bitter taste that’s often associated with sulfites. For the premier expression of red wine, Üllo + Decanter combines the purification power of Selective Sulfite Capture™ technology with the time honored tradition of decanting. The hand blown Decanter, made from ultra-transparent lead-free crystal, is the perfect fit for the Üllo Wine Purifier and the ultimate way to enjoy red wine.

09. A Headwrap from Asodara

For many Black women, their hair is a point of pride — whether it be because of the connection it holds between her and her ancestors, an act of rebellion against beauty standards, or just an appreciated extension of her beauty. Help her highlight that beauty with a vivid headwrap this Valentine’s season. These bright, full-coverage wraps can be worn as the traditional headpiece or as an addition to her wardrobe; the options are practically endless! Best of all, AsoDara has an array of multi-colored hues and patterns to choose from, so you won’t have a hard time finding something that fits in with the rest of her wardrobe.

08. Our Moments

No couple wants their flame to fade; simply going through the motions, sharing the obligatory ‘I love you’ as you sit in the same restaurant you’ve gone to time after time. This year, give her — and you — a gift that can strengthen your relationship by creating quality time to focus on each other and explore each other on a deeper level. This conversation starter comes with 100 cards, each with a thought provoking prompt to get the ball rolling. ProTip: Listen and take mental notes. The couple that plays together, stays together.

07. The Comfy Hoodie

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: get her this hoodie to save the rest of yours! The Comfy Hoodie has all the awesomeness she could ever want in a hoodie. The outer layer is made of THE smoothest knit cotton she’s ever touched and the interior’s fuzzy fleece cotton-polyester blend feels like getting a hug from a cloud. Best of all, it’s designed to be durable enough for outdoor activities, but also light enough to keep her cozy inside all year long! And with eight colors to offer, it’ll be easy to find a shade that she’ll love.

06. Sweet Vegan

This year, give her a twist on the traditional box of chocolates! While all Andrea Young’s chocolates are vegan, nut-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free, they’re not just for vegans or those with food allergies. She eliminated everything that gets in the way of experiencing the true flavor of chocolate and combines real fruit and fresh ingredients. Sweet Vegan chocolates are for anyone who really loves chocolate. 

05. DLux Roses

Flowers should be a given by now, which is why it’s half-way down the list. If you got this far and didn’t think about flowers, you’ve got some work to do, but fear not because we’ve got ya covered. Based in Dallas, DLux offers some of the best eternal roses on the block. With a wide range of color offers — so you can get her favorites — this minority-owned company boasts the beauty of Ecuadorian roses with the elegance of a box made to match. If you’re early in the relationship, we recommend the Small Cube, but if you know this woman is your better half, go with the Large Cube. Both cubes offer rose color options for customization and pattern preferences for variance to make this gift unique to your lady.

04. Reign Together

This Valentine’s Day, bring the spa experience home to the person you love most – deepen your bond with the power of CBD in a massage oil. Reign Together’s CBD Massage Oil is formulated with ingredients that allow the body to find balance and support healthy skin using ingredients that are healthy for the body such as jojoba oil which mimics the skin’s own sebum.

03. Finchberry Handcrafted Soaps

Simply put, she will fall in love with these soaps — and hopefully you too. It’s practically inevitable. From visually stunning designs to breathtaking scents, she’s sure to be all smiles with Finchberry’s soaps. We recommend the Best Seller Sampler Tin because it comes packed with eight of their most popular products. Each individual slice is 1 inch thick, and 3-3.5 inches tall (1.5 - 2.5 oz) and contains natural, food grade ingredients, a unique decadent appearance, and a lush gentle lather. In addition, the soaps are gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and made without any harsh chemical preservatives. These soaps aren’t just a cleanser — they’re a sensory experience she can savor daily.

02. The Night Sky

This is one of those gifts that’ll truly set you apart from the crowd. With The Night Sky, you can create an 18" x 24” star map of the moment your lives were changed forever. Whether it was the first date, the first ‘I love you’ or the first [and last] ‘I do,’ this celebration of your love will be unlike anything she’s ever been given and truly an amazing gift that she’ll cherish for life. Your personalized star map will be printed on high-quality art matte paper and can be framed to provide that extra touch that says “I’m here for the long run.”

01. Romance in a Box

This is THE gift you need if you’re wanting to make her Valentine’s Day one to remember. This New York-based brand has taken all of the stress out of prepping the perfect surprise for your lover. We highly recommend the Deluxe Romantic Night in a Box because it comes with practically everything you need to take her breath away. Picture this: You invite her over to your place — tell her to come relaxed, it’ll be a chill night. You greet her at the door with a LOVE greeting card; it’s nice but nothing too extraordinary. You tell her to head to the bathroom — you’ve drawn her a hot, candle-lit bubble bath and she can smell a hint of lavender; now you have her attention. She comes out to find dinner for two on a shiny serving tray with bubbling champagne flutes beneath tapered candles — the champagne bottle resting in an elegant ice bucket nearby; now she’s in awe. After dinner and exchanging gifts, you lead her — eyes closed — to the bedroom, illuminated by tea light candles like stars, with fragrant silk rose petals strewn across the bed and floor; the deal in sealed. As a final keepsake, you give her a set of heart-shaped votive candles and decorative rose soaps — if ever, she need to be reminded of your celebration. Sound like a winning situation? All of that comes in the Deluxe Romantic Night in a Box, minus the champagne and food. You can thank us later.
