If you’re still shopping for a Valentine’s Day gift, you’ve likely thought about going the traditional flowers-and-a-card route, but you can do so much better. Instead of going for the obvious—and, frankly, overdone—gifts, might I suggest picking up a luxurious candle or fragrance for your sweetheart? If budget is on your mind, don’t worry—I found plenty of on-sale candles and perfumes that feel so luxurious but come in at under $150.
I’m a shopping editor, so it’s my job to scope out the best deals on the internet for you. My favorites hit every major category, from light perfumes for everyday wear to iconic floral fragrances that will indeed become a new date-night favorite. I’ve even included a few beauty gift sets so you can get more bang for your buck. Additionally, this list of Valentine’s Day candles will set the mood with their delectable (and a little sexy) aromas.
Keep scrolling for some major gifting inspiration for the upcoming holiday. These finds hail from editor-approved brands like Diptyque, Jo Malone, Armani, Gucci, and more. Rest assured that no matter which fragrance you choose, you’re doing better than a box of chocolates.
