Here are 12 last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts to wow your partner
by: Lauren Corona, BestReviews Staff
One minute it’s Christmas, then the new year rolls around and, before you know it, Valentine’s Day has arrived. If it’s snuck up on you this year, you might be looking for a last-minute Valentine’s gift.
Last-minute doesn’t have to mean thoughtless, and you don’t have to resort to grocery store flowers. You can find plenty of great gifts with fast shipping to make your significant other happy this Valentine’s Day, whatever their interests.
In this article: Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera, Tea Forte Tea Chest with 40 Handcrafted Pyramid Tea Infusers and Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Speaker.
If you’ve left it late this year, it’s important to know where to find last-minute gifts. Amazon is a great place to look if you’re a Prime member or would consider signing up. Many items have free two-day shipping, so you’ll receive them quickly.
However, if you’re really cutting it fine, consider ordering from retailers that offer in-store pickup. Kohl’s has several Valentine-worthy gifts.
It’s not just getting your hands on a gift before Valentine’s Day you need to worry about, it’s choosing the right one. Just because it’s Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t mean the gift has to be heart-shaped or flowery. In fact, these types of gifts are more likely to be promptly discarded.
Think about the following to help pick the perfect present for your loved one:
Winter Greenhouse Begonia Maculata Polka Dot Begonia
Plant-lovers will be excited to receive this gorgeous polka dot begonia with its distinctive leaf markings and shape. Just pair it with a nice outer pot to hide the nursery pot it comes in, and it makes a thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift.
SG Essentials Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser
Not only does this diffuser release essential oils to lightly scent and humidify the air, it has a striking contemporary style, so it’s a great choice for anyone who’s into design. It can run for up to 10 hours on low mist level before it needs to be refilled.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 is perfect for taking cute snaps of you and your partner together and is a great gift for a keen photographer who might want to have fun with instant photos. It prints 2- by 3-inch photos on sticker paper.

Tea Forte Tea Chest with 40 Handcrafted Pyramid Tea Infusers
Perfect for tea lovers, this set contains 40 tea bag infusers with 20 varieties of tea to sample, in various flavors. They come in a wooden box that’s great for storage and makes the gift look even more special.
Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Speaker
This Bluetooth speaker will make it easier for your Valentine to listen to their favorite music anywhere in the home or out and about. It has the sound quality you’d expect from Bose in a compact package, with an impressive 12-hour battery life.
If you’re buying for someone who doesn’t function before their first coffee of the day, they might appreciate this pod coffee maker that produces a brew in just a couple of minutes. It’s extremely simple to use, takes up minimal counter space and can make cups of coffee between 6 and 12 ounces.

There’s something for everyone, with more than 30 colors and color combinations including fog, peach pink and warm yellow with rainbow straps.
For the casual gamer in your life, a Nintendo Switch is a perfect choice, with a wide range of games available, but many geared to multiplayer fun. This model has a larger, upgraded OLED screen in handheld mode, but can also be connected to a TV.
