Valentine's Day Shopping GuideFebruary 14, 2018

Where to Start Shopping for Valentine's Day

If the thought of even beginning Valentine's Day shopping is causing you to panic, we can relate. It's hard to think of a gift that expresses your love for a person. But breathe deep because gift ideas are in abundance from international retailers. Get inspired, and start your search from some of our favorite shops!

• Etsy

  Etsy is one of our favorite shops for Valentine's Day gifts because you get a great mix of handmade and vintage jewelry, fashion accessories, collectibles and more. Gifts from Etsy are a little extra special in our opinion because they're coming from individual sellers, not from giant corporations. You'll have no trouble finding something thoughtful thanks to Etsy editors who curate shopping guides for every occasion and holiday.

• Amazon

  Aside from the fact that Amazon is a fantastic destination for clothing and jewelry, the New & Interesting Finds section is super helpful if you're interested in not-so-common gifts. The collection is updated every day by users featuring fun and beautiful products for the workspace, kitchen, bedroom and more.

• Ebay

  If you're shopping on a budget but want to buy quality jewelry for Valentine's Day, consider shopping on eBay. Prices vary greatly, but the retailer will also likely offer a coupon for your order, which is something they have done in years past.

• Cult Beauty

  Beauty lovers everywhere consider Cult Beauty a one-stop shop for luxury makeup and skincare. Featuring brands such as Anastasia Beverly Hills, Huda Beauty and Zoeva, you'll undoubtedly find something perfect for everyone. Take a look at the Gifts section for ideas!

Shopping Valentine's Day Sales: Discounted Categories

Retailers ramp up Valentine's Day sales on the days closest to the holiday to lure last-minute shoppers. If you're not pressed for time or just looking for a good deal on something for yourself, make sure to visit your favorite brands for potential deals. Here's what you might find on sale.

• Luxury Brands

  Does your Valentine love luxury brands? You may be in luck because retailers like to offer deep discounts in the early weeks of February. Last year, Michael Kors offered up to 70% off select merchandise.

• Amazon Valentine's Day Gift Section

  The Valentine's Day Gift Section may turn up with savings on random gifts, but the discounts are worth it. Last year, Amazon offered huge discounts on top brands right before the holiday. The entire FitBit brand was up to $50 off, luxury watches were marked down, and many Anker products were on sale.
