Ahead, check out 15 of the best Valentine’s Day gifts you can get on sale right now. 1. Self-care items Everyone can benefit from some self-care from time to time, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to give a loved one—or yourself!—everything they’ll need to indulge. Bath bombs, for example, are an amazing present for those who adore soaking in bubbles after a long day. What’s more, you can grab one of our favorite options, the appropriately-named Inteye organic natural bath bombs, at Amazon for $21.93, which is down 15% from its original price of $25.80. Although this 24-pack wasn’t our No.1 pick in testing (that honor went to LifeAround2Angels bath bombs, $26.80), we still liked the tranquil aroma provided by these bubbly finds. They weren’t the most moisturizing, but they also didn’t leave any residue around our tester’s tub, either, which was a nice bonus. If you or your valentine aren’t huge fans of baths, you can still purchase useful self-care items for less. This Fresh cleanse and mask discovery kit, once $72 and now $57.60, is ideal for the skincare and beauty-obsessed. With this set, you’ll receive a mini soy face cleanser, a mini rose face mask, a mini black tea instant perfecting mask and a mini black tea firming overnight mask. I’m a huge fan of the brand’s soy cleanser, as it’s super soothing and gentle, making it a great formula for sensitive skin types. The collection also has a 4.1-star rating from Nordstrom customers. Below, check out price drops on self-care essentials fit for your S.O., BFF or even yourself.2. FlowersGorgeous bouquets are a tried-and-true Valentine’s Day gift that anyone can appreciate. To snag some top-quality flowers that also happen to be marked down, you can head to The Bouqs Co.—a delivery service centered on farm-grown eco-friendly blooms—which is currently running a V-Day-themed sale you’re not going to want to miss. Through Tuesday, February 2 at 11:59 p.m. PST, you can enter coupon code 2XBLOOMS at checkout to nab a deluxe-sized bouquet—we’re talking 32 ethereal arrangements, tulips and rose stems—for the price of one of the site’s original bouquets, which typically come with 16 mixed stems. While we haven’t tested the service, we’ve been witness to its monthly deliveries, which “always arrived vibrant, well-packaged and healthy.”With the promotion, you can add the deluxe arrangement of this red rose and pink Peruvian alstroemeria bouquet, typically $69, to your cart and use the code to snag it for $54, giving you $15 in savings. You can also choose which day you’d like your selection to be delivered through to Saturday, February 13, as The Bouqs Co. doesn’t deliver flowers on Sunday.
