56 Romantic Gifts That’ll Surely Make Their Heart Skip a Beat

And not an ounce of cheesiness here!

Shopping for a present is already a hard task, but shopping for your significant other can be real tricky. (TBH, they've gotta be the most challenging giftee of all.) They're your #1! And you wanna be sure that it'll mean something to them. A more functional prezzie, which is also awesome, is probably better suited for your dad, your mom, your brother—literally anyone other than your partner. But a romantic idea for a gift feels extra thoughtful and special because it can only come from you. But, obv, it's also a v v high degree of difficulty!

Since romantic can turn cheesy, like, real fast, we’ve rounded up some non-sappy gift ideas your loved one will definitely appreciate—but we did include a heart-shaped gift or two! We can't help ourselves! Scroll through and you'll find plenty of self-care gifts (like bubble bath soaps, lip masks, and fragrances), as well as sentimental gifts to highlight your relationship and the time spent together (like photo displays and fun games for couples to play).

So if you’re shopping for your wife or girlfriend this season, save the cooking pan for someone else and try one of these instead. And, of course, these sweet gifts aren't reserved for just women—we're sure that whoever's on the receiving end of these presents will love them almost as much as they love you. I can't help it—it's cheesy but it's true, dammit! (Also, feel free to romance yourself and get a gift from this list, just because.)
