Back when I was in high school, I used to dread Valentine's Day as a single girl; the swarms of affectionate couples, the over-the-top Valentine exchanges, the underlying shame of not having a boyfriend to celebrate the occasion with. I never craved a relationship until I was confronted — often in the form of gaudy heart-shaped balloons and flower bouquets — by just how much I was missing without one.
Fortunately with age, I've come to relish celebrating the holiday on my own. At 26, I'm more fulfilled in my life than ever before, and more hellbent on reclaiming Valentine's Day for singles everywhere — because self-love is worth celebrating, too. In the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, I've been deliberating over how exactly I should celebrate the love-filled holiday this year: a day to disassociate at the spa? A luxe dinner somewhere special? A splurge purchase on something that'll delight me long after V-Day ends?

Consider this roundup your directional road map for ideas on what to give yourself for Valentine's Day — from editor-loved blankets and silky pajamas to more indulgent treats like chocolate mushrooms (yes, that's a thing) and a solo vibrator.
Glossier Black Cherry Balm Dotcom Lip Balm ($16)
Your lips deserve love whether you're kissing someone else or not. Treat them to a product that's both yummy and nourishing with this Balm Dotcom salve from Glossier. The black cherry flavoring is so decadent, and the formula glides on smooth.
PS by Popsugar Adjustable Waist Pack ($17)
Roses are red, snow is white, keep your hands free and your essentials tight. Our PS by Popsugar zippered fanny pack in a fun Valentine's colorway is perfect for life on the go, and it's water-resistant just in case the weather gets dramatic.
Bedsure White Throw Blanket ($18)
Perhaps your dream Valentine's Day activity involves snuggling up on the couch and settling in for a cozy movie night? If that's the case, you'll want to add this ribbed Amazon blanket to your space ASAP. The product has a marshmallow-like fluffiness that provides endless comfort and looks good styled as a classic throw. For the full product details, read our Bedsure Throw Blanket review.
Editor Quote: "Anyone who loves to indulge in a cozy buy will genuinely adore this blanket. Its soft and plushie design feels elevated, despite costing less than $20; I'd even argue that it rivals (or at least matches) the quality of throw blankets from other luxury brands. Whether you're looking for a stylish blanket to toss over the couch or want a large blanket to wrap yourself in on a lazy day, this Amazon blanket has enough variety to work for everyone's needs." — Kyley Warren, former assistant shopping editor
PS Weighted Hot and Cold Neck Wrap ($21)
Even if a massage certificate is out of your Valentine's Day gifting budget, you can still relax and unwind at home with this weighted neck wrap. The self-care essential can be heated or chilled, and it works to provide instant relief to sore muscles. To learn more, read our review of the PS Weighted Hot and Cold Neck Wrap.
Editor Quote: "The PS Weighted Hot & Cold Neck Wrap Pillow is best for those who often feel tension and aches in their upper back, shoulders, and neck. Whether it's from sitting at a desk for long periods of time, waking up on the wrong side of the bed, or recovering after an intense upper body workout, this neck wrap is something I use pretty much every day." — Anvita Reddy, former assistant shopping editor
Sapjon Silk Pajamas Set ($25, originally $34)
Who says your Valentine's Day outfit has to be relegated to just comfy lingerie or sexy nightwear? I'm a sucker for a pretty pair of pajamas, and this Amazon bundle includes four separate pieces that you can mix and match together for more versatile styling. The scalloped trim on the shorts is so darling, while the set's silk composition is incredibly breathable.
Intelligent Change Mindful Affirmations ($30, originally $35)
Speak more love into your life with these thoughtful affirmation cards. The pack comes with 52 cards and a display stand, with each card featuring a unique saying that's designed to channel good energy and help you manifest positivity.
Camino Sparkling Pear 'Social' 2mg CBD Gummies ($32, originally $35)
Skip the chocolates this year and elevate your vibe instead. These Social Gummies are perfect for a little self-love or sharing with your Valentine. Each full-size tin contains 2 mg THC and 6 mg CBD for the ideal balance. Use code POP20 for 20 percent off your first order.
Cyklar Crescent Sensorial Body Wash ($35)
Create a spa-like experience in your own bathroom with this sensorial body wash from Cyklar. The rich formula works across a variety of skin types, and the lightweight solution develops a bubbly consistency when lathered on skin. The Crescent scent is my personal favorite, with soothing notes of bergamot and moss.
Alice Mushrooms Nightcap Chocolates ($36, originally $40)
This isn't your usual Valentine's Day chocolate box — in fact, it's way better. Made with organic dark chocolate and organic Reishi mushrooms, this indulgent dessert is formulated with calming ingredients like chamomile, L-theanine, and magnesium, all of which work together to provide stress relief and help you sleep more soundly. Did I mention the chocolate is super delicious, too?
Uncommon Goods Instant Old Fashioned Cocktail Cube Trio ($42)
You don't have to be a master mixologist to craft a decadent Valentine's Day drink — at least not with these genius cocktail cubes. Simply pop a couple cubes into warm water, add your favorite whiskey or bourbon, and enjoy.
Maude Best Solo Pleasure Vibrator ($52)
Everyone should have a vibrator that they can rely on for Valentine's Day and beyond, and this Maude model is touted as one of the best. It's equipped with three speed settings, with an easy-to-use design that's practical, discreet, and portable — so you can enjoy it anywhere.
Popsugar 32lb Dumbbell Weight Rack Kit ($54)
Nothing will motivate you more than a cute, colorful weight rack that you can honestly match to your workout sets if you so desire. The neoprene overlay on these weights — which include three pound-, five pound-, and eight pound-sets — make them easy to grip, with a square base to prevent rolling (the worst conundrum when you're mid-reps!). Regardless of your routine, these will complement your equipment lineup. You can even add them on to Pilates moves to make things more spicy.
Bunches of Love Tulip and Iris Bouquet ($60)
Flowers are one of the most trusted Valentine's Day gifts you can give — whether they be to yourself or a partner. I'm not personally a big rose gal, but I love that 1-800-Flowers has a wide assortment of stems to choose from — that way, I can order myself a bouquet that really speaks to me and have it delivered to my home in no time.
The Skinny Confidential The Mint Roller ($89)
Nothing puts me into a more relaxed state than using this chilled facial roller right when I wake up. The unique beauty tool feels so revitalizing on skin, especially after it's been stored in the freezer. Plus, it helps to reduce puffiness and sculpt your face shape. See how one editor uses this beauty tool in our review of the Skinny Confidential Mint Roller.
Editor Quote: "If facial massages are a core part of your self-care routine and you benefit from cold therapy and lymphatic drainage, this tool is 100-percent worth every penny. The build and quality of the Mint Roller surpasses every other ice roller on the market and there's truly nothing comparable." — Anvita Reddy, former assistant shopping editor
Spotify Annual Gift Card ($99)
What better way to say "I love you" (to yourself) than with a gift card that'll ensure you have endless access to your favorite music and podcasts? Spotify is undoubtedly my most-used app. With how vital podcasts are for my mental well-being, I consider my Spotify subscription to be the ultimate self-care investment.
Bru Eyewear Echo Acetate Blue Light Glasses ($135)
These Hailey Bieber–approved blue-light glasses make a Valentine's Day gift that's cute and practical. The sleek acetate frames (made from plant-based plastic) add an effortless cool factor while helping with screen-time eye strain.
Editor Quote: "I tried these after seeing Hailey Bieber wear them, and now I recommend them without hesitation. They instantly elevate any look, and I genuinely notice less eye strain at the end of the day. It's the kind of splurge that feels thoughtful, useful, and totally worth it." — Haley Lyndes, shopping staff writer
Lelo Sona 3 Cruise Clitoral Stimulator ($137, originally $179)
This one won the Best Vibrator category in our Feel-Good Awards for a reason — it's orgasmic. With 10 speed and intensity settings, plus the ability to connect to and be controlled via an app, it's perfect for a relaxing evening alone or with a plus one. Right now, Lelo is offering up to 50 percent off for Valentine's Day, including its popular rabbit vibrator. Use code LOVERVIBES at checkout.
Cuyana Ola Bag ($498)
While it's a bit pricier than some of the other items on this list, this Cuyana bag feels like the epitome of luxury — with a merlot coloring, asymmetrical design, and functional gold handle that's equally practical and stylish.
