The sweetest part about Valentine’s Day is getting to celebrate all the important women in your life for all the little things they do, all year long. But choosing a thoughtful and unique gift for your favorite lady — whether it be your wife, mother or mother-in-law, daughter, sister, aunt, or grandma — can be surprisingly difficult, even for the most savvy gift-givers out there — especially if she’s of a certain age. This year, we’ve found the best Valentine’s Day gifts for older women around, so you don’t have to sweat it.
How to Choose a Unique Valentine’s Day Gift
Chocolates and flowers are sure to please, but they don’t last forever. Instead, why not choose something she can cherish for a good long while that will show her how much you care? When you’re dreaming up ideas for the special woman in your life, there are a few different tips you can use as a jumping off point to help you find the perfect present.
1. Pick something based on her favorite hobbies: As she gets older and has more time to pursue her passions, she’s sure to love something that will align with her go-to leisure time activities, like this heart-shaped cookware set ($200, Le Creuset) that will fuel her love of cooking, or this DIY knitting kit ($98.10, Etsy) for the knitting aficionado in your life.
2. Choose a luxe item she wouldn’t ordinarily buy for herself: Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to pamper her, and what better way to do so than by gifting her with something she wouldn’t normally indulge in, like these bathtub truffles ($32, Uncommon Goods) for her nightly soak, or this self-love skincare kit ($58, Sephora)? With these fine gifts, she’ll be able to truly treat herself and enjoy a little ‘me’ time.
3. Consider her go-to staples: If you want to go the classic route and opt for jewelry, but aren’t sure what she’ll love most, think about the colors that she wears most often or that you see most in her home. This delicate necklace ($45, Nordstrom) comes in gold, silver, and rose gold, so it’s sure to fit her personal style.

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is all the rage these days, with health experts touting its benefits for pain relief, anxiety, insomnia, and more. It’s also popping up in beauty products everywhere, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with the visible signs of aging we’re all hoping to combat gracefully. As it turns out, those benefits can also extend to the bedroom, as seen in this Fleur Marché Le Romp kit.

Whether she’s your resident green thumb and spends every waking moment in her garden or simply admires nature from afar, you can’t go wrong with a pair of succulents (heart-shaped, no less!) that she can place in her favorite spot to admire all day long. Succulents are also easy to maintain with ample sunlight, as they require infrequent waterings.
