Valentine’s Day 2026 is here, and if you’ve been caught up with work or life and forgot to plan the perfect surprise, don’t worry. Here are seven thoughtful last-minute gift ideas they’ll genuinely love

Handwritten Love Letter & Flowers: Skip the generic card and write your feelings down. A heartfelt letter sharing your favourite memories and future dreams together never goes out of style

Surprise Date Night At Home: Plan a cosy candlelight dinner, cook their favourite meal, or order from their favourite restaurant. Add fairy lights and soft music for a romantic vibe

Self-Care Hamper: Put together a small hamper with chocolates, scented candles, skincare products, or their favourite snacks

Experience Voucher: Book a last-minute spa session, movie tickets, concert passes, or a fun activity you both can enjoy together

A “Reasons I Love You” Jar: Write small notes listing reasons why you love and appreciate them. It’s simple, emotional, and something they can revisit anytime

Gift Something From Their Wishlist: Notice what they’ve been wanting: maybe a favourite perfume, sneakers, a watch, or a new gadget. Choosing a gift from their wishlist shows you care and remember their preferences

Midnight Surprise Delivery: Order flowers, a cake, or their favourite dessert for a surprise midnight delivery to start Valentine’s Day on a sweet note
