Stars Above Ultra-Soft Short-Sleeve Top and Shorts Pajama Set
TargetAriel Scotti, Editorial Director of Partnerships: “Our teammate Ali introduced me to this pajama set, and I've been obsessed ever since—especially after hearing how much she adores the silky-soft fabric that keeps her comfortable and cool while she sleeps, plus the chic, put-together look. I’ve been dropping *very* obvious hints to my husband that the black version is all I want this year (with a side of chocolate, of course).”
Threshold Woven Gingham Heart Throw Pillow with Ruffled Edges
TargetMegan Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: “I’ve had my eye on this heart-shaped gingham throw pillow ever since I saw it in Target’s new arrivals section. The playful design adds the perfect touch of romance to any space, and it’s so cozy to snuggle up with—whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day with your partner or enjoying a glass of wine on the couch with your best friends.”
Ulta Beauty Ariana Grande R.E.M. Eau de Parfum Spray
TargetAli Faccenda, Partnerships Writer: “I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about this perfume by Ariana Grande, which has notes of sweet fig and salted caramel—definitely a Valentine’s Day treat I’ll be grabbing for myself. It’s an incredible price for a perfume, and paired with a bouquet of flowers, it’s the ultimate romantic gesture. Plus, the packaging is so gorgeous, I can’t wait to display it on my vanity.”
Kendra Scott Sadie 14K Gold Over Brass Strand Necklace
TargetBridget Degnan, Partnerships Editor: “Jewelry is always at the top of my wish list, especially around Valentine’s Day. Charm necklaces have been trending lately, so I was instantly drawn to this delicate version. It’s perfect for everyday wear, whether worn solo or layered with other gold necklaces, and the 14K gold makes it durable enough for daily use, all while being an affordable $40.”
Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Camera
TargetAriel Scotti, Editorial Director of Partnerships: “OK, I confess, there’s one more Valentine’s Day gift I’m hoping for this year: this super cute mini instant camera. My sister-in-law gifted this exact Fujifilm camera to her boyfriend last Christmas, and it was such a hit during our family get-togethers. I love snapping photos of my husband and our dog on my phone, but there’s something special about having physical prints. They’re such nostalgic little treasures that look adorable on our fridge and bookshelves.”
Room Essentials Ditsy Hearts Printed Valentine’s Day Throw Blanket
TargetRachel Trujillo, Partnerships Writer: “Although my husband and I don’t usually exchange big gifts for Valentine’s Day, he knows I’ll never turn down a cozy throw to warm up our home. This one is just $10 and has such a fun design—perfect for a small gift to snuggle up with during a Valentine’s Day movie marathon.”
Staub Ceramic 16-Ounce Petite Artichoke Cocotte
TargetLauren Fischer, Partnerships Editor: “My sister is always the one hosting our family’s major celebrations, so for this Valentine’s Day, I want to give her something practical for our next big gathering. I’ve had my eye on this charming mini artichoke cocotte, which she can use to hold and showcase dips and spreads. I love it so much, I may end up asking for one for myself. I might even get a cute duo and add in this mini tomato-shaped cocotte too.”
We're Not Really Strangers Self-Love Edition Game
TargetAli Faccenda, Partnerships Writer: “I have the original version of this card game, and it’s such a fun activity for a cozy night in with friends, family, or a special someone. This year, I’m planning to gift the self-love version to my closest friends for a little Galentine’s celebration, paired with a bottle of wine. This self-love edition is great for some solo reflection, and I know my besties will love it since our favorite thing to do is hang out and chat about life.”
Universal Thread Cozy Marled Two-Pack Crew Socks
TargetBridget Degnan, Partnerships Editor: “My ultimate Valentine’s Day gift basket always includes a pair of soft socks, some chocolate, a candle, and a heartfelt card—what's not to love? This two-pack of comfy socks is just $7 and has become a favorite among Target shoppers for their warmth, softness, and comfort. One reviewer raved that the “quality is so much better than any other fuzzy socks [they’ve] owned,” while another mentioned they've “washed them over a dozen times,” and the socks “still look as good as new.”
