Libra season (September 23 to October 22) is upon us, and if you’re lucky enough to have a Libra in your life, you already know they’re the connoisseurs of charm, balance, and probably too many houseplants. These air signs are equal parts indecisive and refined, aka, really hard to shop for. Finding the best gifts for Libras can be a delicate balance, kinda like the scales that symbolize this compassionate sign.
A gift that speaks to their strong eye for aesthetics is a sure bet. “They’re highly attuned to style and also to balance in all senses,” says Alex Caiola, astrologer and founder of Capricorn Rising Inc. If not something beautiful, some of the best gifts for Libras will help them balance their daily routines. Specifically, anything that gives them a moment of self-care will make a great present—and if it indulges their tastes for the finer things, then all the better. As the zodiac is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and money, they enjoy life’s luxuries. A gift that speaks to their ideals of harmony and beauty is sure to leave a lasting impression, says Caiola.
That said, getting a Libra as a gift for their birthday is no small gesture. Relationships are paramount to them, given that they’re associated with the seventh house of partnerships. Any gift that comes from the heart will hit the mark. As the zodiac’s hopeless romantics, they make thoughtful partners and friends, and, coupled with their excellent taste, great gift-givers.
If you want to return the love, below are some of the best gifts for Libras.
Ever the aesthete, a Libra who loves to entertain will flip for a cute addition to their bar cart like this wine glass set. This five-piece gift is made from shatter-resistant crystal and includes a handsome wine carafe that holds up to 49 ounces of liquid. By contrast to their Virgo neighbors on the zodiac wheel, Libras don’t mind having a few extra things in their lives that are purely beautiful. “While they probably have a set of nice glasses already, they’ll love having another—even if it mostly sits there and looks pretty,” says Caiola.
The Lodge Dutch oven offers both beauty and function in equal measure—and it’s a gift that is especially apropos for soup season. It’s made from cast iron, making it durable and safe for high-heat cooking, and it comes in vibrant colors that a Libra will want to display on their countertop or dining table. As a bonus for you, it’s a fraction of the cost of its pricier counterparts.
For the Libra who’s already well-situated in a beauty routine, consider this handy sidekick: a mini portable cosmetics fridge that’ll chill makeup or skincare products until they’re ready for action. There’s a level of balance that a Libra can appreciate in having everything put away in its place, and this little number will help them do just that. Not to mention, it sports a touch-activated LED light and mirror—and thanks to their Venusian nature, a Libra can never have too many mirrors, says Caiola.
Given Libra’s ruling planet of Venus, they’ll be partial to anything rooted in beauty, like a microcurrent device. This gadget delivers low-level electrical current in soft pulses to tighten skin around the face and neck. It’s a splurge, but it’s worth a spot in their beauty routine.
“Libra loves to play around with their style,” says Caiola, “so they’ll appreciate any product that allows them to add some versatility to their look.” Enter: this Fenty Beauty eyeshadow palette. With 12 shades in matte and shimmer tones, this palette is ideal for a touched-up daytime look or a dramatic full face.
One gift that balances self-care with luxury is Osea’s body scrub. Made with mineral-rich salts (such as Himalayan salt) to gently buff away rough patches, along with shea butter and seaweed extract to moisturize skin, it offers the instant gratification of silky smooth limbs. It comes complete with a soothing lavender scent to bring some calm into your Libra’s life.
This pretty candle ticks off every box for what a Libra could possibly want on their birthday. It’s pretty, is Libra-themed, and smells amazing; the coconut wax blend melts with top notes of bright bergamot and sea salt with undertones of earthy moss and musk.
Sometimes, luxury is a good night’s rest—and sumptuous bed sheets can make all the difference to the quality of your shut-eye. Brooklinen’s four-piece sateen bedding set is reminiscent of silk: it’s cool to the touch, and soft on bare skin. It looks just as luxurious as it feels, too. (The Libra in your life deserves nothing less!) The queen-size set comes with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases, and in an array of neutral colors that will fit seamlessly into most bedrooms.
Equal parts functional and romantic, this jewelry stand is a unique way for a Libra to turn their accessories collection into something of real aesthetic value. “They’ll enjoy anything that lets them display what they love,” says Caiola. This stunning wooden armoire from Pottery Barn looks elegant, even when not stuffed with jewelry. Add their monogram to make it extra special.
Relationships mean the world to a Libra, and a digital photo frame is a great way to commemorate their family, friends, or partners. Its 10-inch display is perfect for side tables and shelves, and loved ones can also upload their own photos.
“Libra likes anything in terms of fashion, art, [and] beauty,” Maria Sofia Marmanides, astrologer, tarot reader, and intuitive, previously told Well+Good. The Big Book of Chic will not only please their keen eye for aesthetic, but also add visual interest to their coffee table. It captures American interior designer Miles Redd’s signature style of “cozy glamor” to showcase “the pleasures of living life in a beautiful way.” And who better to appreciate that than a Libra?

No matter the relationship stage you’re in—dating, married, or in a situationship—Valentine’s Day can add pressure for extravagant, rom-com-worthy displays of love and devotion. But the reality isn’t always as romantic. If you’ve been with someone for a really long time, the same old heart-shaped box of chocolates and flowers might begin to feel a bit stale, and if you’re just getting started with someone new, you might be itching to gush, but fear going overboard. Truth be told, there is no “right” answer when it comes to showing your love with a gift but, in our opinion, the best V-Day presents are those you can enjoy together. Read on for over 50 suggestions for Valentine’s Day gifts for couples that will help get the inspiration flowing.

Best Valentine's Day gifts for couples, at a glance:
What’s better than flowers on Valentine’s Day? Flowers and a vibrator. This year, the flower delivery company The Bouqs has partnered with Dame to offer this stunning “Good Vibes” arrangement. Each order of this lush, strawberry shortcake-colored bouquet includes a Dame Zig bullet vibe, which is made with soft silicone and has a fluttering tip. Siri, play “My Favorite Things.”
With positions called “Love is Blind,” “Tickle Me Elmo,” and “A Moveable Feast,” this saucy book of sex positions is guaranteed to help keep things interesting in the bedroom.
Help your lover unwind with this soothing massage oil from Lazarus Naturals. It's made with nourishing jojoba and sweet almond oils, as well as USDA Organic-certified full-spectrum CBD for added relief. Plus, it comes in a handy pump dispenser and is free of added fragrances or sketchy ingredients, so you can relax and focus your attention on delivering an excellent full-body massage.
These tasty gummies are blended with full-spectrum CBD and a load of other popular aphrodisiacs, like maca, horny goat weed, and ashwagandha. Needless to say, they’re great for ~getting in the mood~ and are the libido boost no bedside table should go without.
This couples vibrator is designed to be inserted into the vagina during penetrative sex, sending stimulating vibrations to the clitoris, G-spot, and penis at the same time. And you can operate it via the remote control—which responds to you squeezing it to ramp up the intensity. It even has a touch-sensitive function that allows the Chorus to respond to your body movements!
If you and your partner want to have an even happier happy hour, this fun drinking game is the way to do it (though you could just as easily play with mocktails instead of a cocktail.) With 100 cards in the deck, this 2-person card game is sure to spark laughs and conversation. The rules are simple: follow whatever the card says, or take a drink. It’s basically the adult version of Truth or Dare, only instead of spilling secrets, you’re sipping your drink.
This solid massage bar is a must-buy Valentine’s Day gift for any couple whose love language is physical touch. In addition to nourishing dry skin, the Sex Stone functions as a lubricant in intimate situations, offering the perfect amount of glide.
Nobody actually likes those chalky heart-shaped candies, right? With this four-pack of soft modal thongs from PSD, you’re the real treat. And if the cheeky candy sayings aren’t your vibe, PSD has other Valentine’s Day prints to explore, as well as matching sets for men and women.
This silky soft pajama set is soft, sexy, and made of 100 percent Mulberry silk that’s thermoregulating to keep you cool and comfortable all night long. The best part, though, is that it’s machine washable (hold for applause). They also come in a matching men’s style that’s equally luxe.
If snuggling up on the couch with your boo is your idea of quality time, there’s literally no better throw blanket for the job (especially in frigid February). The Cozy Earth Cuddle Blanket is seriously soft, made with cuddly faux fur you’ll want to run your hands over—honestly I end up petting it while it’s on my lap. Whether you choose the regular or “bubble” style, this hefty throw will quickly become your favorite.
Recreate the feeling of relaxing in a fancy hotel robe by treating you and your partner to matching Cloud Robes from Parachute. The luxe robe is made of 100-percent Turkish cotton and has a plush gauze that feels uber-soft on skin. Note: some sizes are selling out quickly, so act fast on this one!
With notes of olive wood, bergamot, and rose, this Ya Thamani Candle has a soft, inviting scent that’s grounding, romantic, and luxurious all at once—making it an instant mood-maker for your Valentine’s Day night-in.
This ultra-soothing neck and shoulder massager is the third wheel you never knew you needed. It delivers a heated deep tissue massage so good, those stress induced knots won’t stand a chance.
With over 20,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, these affordable house slippers feel like you’re walking on a cloud—which obviously means you’ll have to get your Valentine a matching pair.
For the couple that prefers baths to showers, these Fur bath beads are packed with nourishing oils like jojoba and grapeseed oil, along with the brand’s signature Fur Oil that’s beloved for its hydrating benefits that totally banish dry, itchy skin.
For couples who are also proud plant parents, treating yourselves to a new houseplant is a fool-proof Valentine’s Day gift—especially when it waters itself. Seriously, I have the happiest Fiddle Leaf Fig bush from Easyplant and all I’ve done is keep an eye on the brand’s self-watering pot. You fill up the pot’s water chamber once a month and forget about it, meaning you’ll never have to worry about not feeding it too much or too little. Anthuriums make a great gift, as they thrive in bright, indirect light and are one of the longest-blooming house plants—which means you can enjoy their gorgeous, pink blooms for longer.
One of the small but mighty ways my husband shows me he loves me is by filling up my BrüMate, which yes, sounds like something I can and should do for myself, but the Brita is heavy and sometimes I forget and ugh, whatever, it’ssweet ok?! Anyway, if you’re looking to give the gift of ice-cold hydration, this seasonal rose pattern (as well as this cute heart design) is a great pick.
For the couple that loves to cook together, Valentine’s Day is a solid excuse to splurge on new cookware. This wooden cutting board set from Caraway (a brand beloved by team W+G) is made with gorgeous, Forest Stewardship Council-certified birchwood, and comes with a sleek storage rack. The set’s versatile size range means you and your honey can both get to choppin’ at the same time, and each board contains indented sections for added organization while you prep.
How sweet are these heart-shaped salt and pepper shakers? Beyond being adorable and seasonally appropriate, the set comes from Le Creuset so you know they’ll last a lifetime. Pop them on your dinner table during your Valentine’s Day meal to surprise your culinary cutie.
Why is fondue so romantic? Maybe it’s the communal aspect, or the choose-your-own-adventure energy—or maybe just the simple fact that you can pop a cheese-coated grape in your lover’s mouth and that’s pretty fun. Whatever your reasons for fondu-ing, this 3qt fondue pot from Cuisinart will set you up with everything you need—just add cheese.
What’s there to say? It’s a heart-shaped waffle maker and it costs less than $10. The only way to make this a better Valentine’s Day gift is by using it to make waffles together the morning of Feb 14.
If you’re looking for an experience-led gift, Sur La Table’s virtual cooking classes are a great option. You and your Valentine will get the chance to be taught by an expert chef, and making something new (and delicious) from the comfort of your home kitchen. Besides, it beats fighting over a restaurant reservation.
If you two bond over a glass of vino, check out this cool wine accessory from Ullo. It’s a purifier that uses a filter to reduce the amount of unwanted sulfites in your pour. You can also adjust the device’s aeration to work for different types of wine (less for whites, more for reds, etc).
Here’s the sweetest way to celebrate together. With indulgent, small-batch ice cream flavors made from the creamiest, real-deal ingredients, it’s a perfect date-night treat. Whether you’re sharing straight from the pint or crafting sundaes, this bundle turns dessert into a love language—no reservations required.
If the two of you are tea drinkers, why not level up your daily brew with some luxe blends from Art of Tea? This thoughtful gift set includes a sampler of pyramid sachets, featuring 12 blends that range from the predictable (English Breakfast, Mint Green) to the exotic (Egyptian Chamomile, White Coconut Cremé). Plus, the set comes in a giftable wooden box and includes two gorgeous ceramic mugs to add to your collection.
You know what they say—couples that espresso together, stay together. Ok, maybe they don’t say that, but they should. The Bialetti Mini Express takes your traditional Moka Pot and splits it in two, brewing up two espresso shots at the same time, making it a great Valentine’s Day gift for couples who bond over their morning coffee time.
A Valentine’s Day gift that’s both cute and practical, these adorable face-shaped mugs will make you and your partner’s coffee breaks all the more special. Whether you’re sipping on coffee together or apart, this unique set will keep your loved one at top of mind.
If you and your partner are in the mood to splurge this Valentine’s Day on a kitchen gift you’ll both fall head over heels for, let it be this drip coffee maker. Not only is it a tried, tested, and true W+G team favorite, it’ll save you serious cash on trips to the coffee shop. Plus there are over 20 color options to choose from, guaranteeing you’ll find one to suit your kitchen.
For the caffeinated couple who can’t go a day without coffee, this subscription from Partner’s Coffee (the brand behind our all-time favorite instant coffee) is the Valentine’s Day gift that’ll keep your coffee cupboard stocked at all times. The Roaster’s Choice option is just that—a random coffee choice handpicked by Partner’s expert roasters, so you can experience something new every month.
For long-distance couples who want to rekindle the lost art of letter writing, this book of prompted, tear-out letters makes for a heartwarming Valentine’s Day gift to give your partner before parting. Whether they’re in need of motivation or guidance before a big decision, they’ll be able to open a handwritten letter from you for some peace of mind.
Gift your significant other a keepsake photo album they can enjoy for years to come, especially in those moments when you’re physically not together. Artifact Uprising has hundreds of customizable photo products you can create, packaging your most precious memories in an heirloom-quality gift they’ll cherish forever.
For couples who love a night in, this gorgeous 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle from Piecework makes for a fun (and challenging) Valentine’s Day activity. Warning: the art is so pretty, it’s heartbreaking to take these puzzles apart once they’re complete!
If you and your sweetheart like a little friendly competition, give the gift of a fast-paced card game. My husband and I are newly addicted to Dutch Blitz, which is a little bit Egyptian Ratscrew, a little bit Solitaire, and a lot of fun. I recommend raising the stakes by offering up a back massage to the winner.
This Valentine’s Day Lego set makes for a fun way to spend time together on the 14th without having to sort through a gazillion pieces—ok there are still 250 pieces, but that’s not nearly as many as most Lego sets and it can absolutely be completed in an evening. Plus, once it’s finished, you can hang it on your front door or anywhere in your home for a little seasonal decor!
Suds up your sweetheart with this set of gel-infused sponges from Spongelle. The heart-shaped design holds a dermatologist-tested formula of glycerin and botanical ingredients like edelweiss and vetiver extract. Choose from two fragrance sets: Beloved Lily and pink camilla, or sweet orchid and scarlet blush.
For couples that live together, a fancy hand soap is kind of a big deal. Even if your partner claims not to care, once they’ve tried an Aesop soap, they’ll recognize it as the treat that it is. The Reverence Wash has finely ground pumice for a satisfying, exfoliating effect, and smells like vetiver, petitgrain, and bergamot.
For sheets that smell as sexy as they feel, you’ll want this Dedcool Room + Linen Spray. The brand’s best-selling “Taunt” scent has notes of florals and cassis, bergamot, and fresh dew, along with warming amber and vanilla—creating a sensual aroma that’ll make your bed even more inviting. To take things up a notch, we recommend pairing it with the matching laundry detergent.
If you think a robot vacuum isn’t romantic enough for Valentine’s Day, think again. Equipped with the brand’s patented Dirt Detect technology, this genius vacuum cleaner detects and cleans up messes, so you and your partner don’t have to. So you two can spend more time on what matters most—each other. And did we mention it’s on sale for 35 percent off?
Every couple has “their” song—turn your favorite song into wall art with this personalized song lyric print. Just add your name, song title, and artist before adding to your cart, and you’ll get a custom, keepsake-worthy print shipped to your door and ready to frame.
Vinyl-collecting couples, this Victrola portable record player deserves a place in your shopping cart. It blends retro with modern style, as it’s equipped to play all your favorite records or connect to your Bluetooth devices when you want to stream something else. The best part? It packs up easy thanks to the suitcase-inspired design that allows you to take your tunes anywhere.
With a name like Lover’s Bracelet, you know this minimalist gold chain bracelet makes for a beautiful couple’s gift. It’s made with 100 percent recycled 14K gold and a touch wider and weighter than Catbird’s other chains, for a look that makes a statement alone, or paired with other pieces. Snag one for you and your Valentine for a sweet matching moment.
Inspired by the breathing techniques of ancient Japanese Komusō monks, this Mindful Breathing Necklace helps calm anxiety, so you can stay present. Just inhale normally, and exhale through the straw pendant for a mini meditation throughout the day.
Spoiler alert: my husband will be receiving this set of McConnell’s Ice Creams for Valentine’s Day, and I plan to be very involved in the enjoyment of his gift. The set includes five 16oz pints of ice cream in delicious and unique flavors like Chocolate Covered Strawberries and Sea Salt Cookies & Cream. Also, don’t sleep on the Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate—it’s out of this world.
The ideal way to top off your Valentine’s Day date night, this mouthwatering sampler pack from New York’s iconic Magnolia Bakery includes two cups of its famous chocolate covered strawberry pudding (which is made fresh and ships the same day it’s made), and two Valentine’s Day cupcakes.
Instead of going the heart shaped box of chocolate route, make a heartwarming memory with your Valentine by making your own chocolate truffles instead. This easy to follow kit includes everything you need—from the French dark chocolate morsels to all the tasty add-ins like Himalayan salt, coconut flakes, vanilla, and more.
For the couple that could do serious damage in a candy store, this Sugarfina Bento Box is positively loaded with all of the gourmet candy varieties they could hope for—from champagne gummy bears to dark chocolate caramels.
Whether you have a pool nearby or are jet-setting somewhere warm together, these heart-shaped pool floats from Funboy make a really fun Valentine’s Day gift. Not only are they super cute, they’re made from upcycled production scraps (see ya never, landfill!) so you can feel great about your purchase. Choose a single heart tube, or snag a 3-pack ($69) so you can float together.
For the couple with an ever-expanding bucket list, this scratchable world map will help you keep tabs on all the destinations you’ve visited. Plus, it doubles as wall art.
For the couple that loves a day outdoors, this Yeti Cooler makes for an ideal V-day investment. On top of its ultra-durable design, the personal sized cooler easily accommodates enough drinks and ice for two people, making it a must-pack for romantic hikes, picnics, or days at the beach.
For the selfie-savvy couple who loves making memories, this Fujifilm instant camera has a built-in one-touch selfie mode and mirror that make it a welcome addition on vacations, date nights, and group hangs. The only thing you’ll love more than getting a photo printed in an instant is the compact camera’s retro aesthetic.
Gifts are great and all, but the honest truth is that time spent with your partner is the best gift of them all. As we said above, we think that the best Valentine’s Day gifts for couples are the ones that you can enjoy together, and that pave the way for more meaningful quality time.
For example, if you and your partners are foodies who love to cook new recipes at home, new cookware or matching aprons will make cooking meals together even more special. If you’re homebodies who love to lounge and practice self-care together, a comfy robe, slippers, and blanket would all make delightful Valentine’s Day gifts. And if you can’t keep your hands off each other, there are countless sexy gift options out there that’ll set sparks flying in the bedroom, from vibrators to sensual massage oils. To spare you the headache of having to track these gifts down yourself, we rounded up the very best Valentine’s Day gifts for couples that you can shop right now (which we’d gently recommend, as V-day is less than a month away!)
