If It’s Your First V-Day Together

The first of anything in a new relationship is super fun and exciting. Your first date, your first sleepover, your first vacation, the list goes on! And the first Valentine’s Day together is def one worth making a big deal of. If you’ve never celebrated V-Day before and you want to make it as perf as possible, have no fear. Something simple and useful like this room diffuser is an unfailing gift. You also can’t go wrong with a relaxing self-care tool, a nice leather accessory, or a new gadget—and we found the best ones out there for ya.

But because your first Valentine’s Day together can fall anywhere between a few days after you started seeing each other to almost an entire year of dating, you might want a few more time-specific gift ideas. Say no more!

To break it down even further, We’ve gathered a few more gift suggestions for relationships under three months, six months, nine months, a year, and two years or longer, so keep scrolling.

If You’ve Been Together Less Than 3 Months

Think classic and simple when you’re at this early stage. You’re gonna want to get him something thoughtful (that he’ll actually use!) without being too forward. In other words, it’s okay to keep your V-Day present simple and flirty, like with this candle. Not only is it a super fresh scent that will keep his space smelling amazing, but the melted wax also doubles as a little extra ~excitement~ in the bedroom. Plus, it wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without some romance!

For a few other foolproof gift ideas, try some self-care eye patches, a bottle of his favorite hot honey, a pair of sneaks, or any of the other thoughtful choices, below.

If You’ve Been Together 6 Months

Now that y’all have been at it for half a year, you can loosen up a bit. Your dinner dates are no longer make-or-break, and let’s be honest, you’re probs more into low-key hangouts at this point. You’re comfortable enough to make inside jokes, and you’ve got a good grasp on what he likes and secretly dislikes, so use it to your shopping advantage. And FYI: You can never go wrong with a solid pair of headphones. Six months in, you probably know that he loves music or needs some new earbuds for his commutes or the gym.

This is also the perfect time to get him a practical gift, such as a laptop case or a grooming kit. And since you now know what his style is (or where it has room for some improvement), you can pick out something to add to his wardrobe.

If You’ve Been Together 9 Months

You never need to spend a lot of money on a gift, but if you’ve been wanting to spoil him with something special, the day of lurve is a good excuse to spend a *little* more than you have before. And now that you know what he likes to smell like, a fragrance is a classic gift idea. Treat him to a new scent, like this musky one from Byredo. (Life hack: It’s like a gift for you too, because he will be smelling sooo good.)

If you guys have been saying the L-word, a gift like a mini projector is sure to level up all your date nights. And now that you know what his daily routine is like, a sunrise alarm clock or smart coffee mug is sure to please.

If You’ve Been Together 1 Year

Aw you guys have hit the one-year mark, congrats! Chances are you’ve already given him a handful of presents for other occasions and you might want to get him a special gift. By now, you probably feel more secure in your relationship and comfortable spending some $$$ on him (because he deserves it!). If his wallet could use an upgrade, let us introduce you to this sleek card case from Gucci. It’s timeless, thoughtful, and luxe without being too over-the-top (we love a subtle flex!).

For other gift ideas if you feel like splurging on your man, consider an LED face mask or a nice suitcase for his next getaway (maybe with you *hint hint*).

If You’ve Been Together 2 Years or Longer

Okay, you’ve probably used up every gift idea under the sun by now after all the birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. But Valentine’s Day is still a perfectly good excuse to celebrate another year of being together. You know him better than anyone else, but if you’re struggling to come up with a present, we gotchu. Get him a cool kitchen gadget like this automatic cocktail maker. It’s like a coffee machine but for his (and your) favorite drinks!

And a few years in is never a bad time to get him something to make his life *a little* easier. A customized notebook for all his to-dos is super helpful, or perhaps a KitchenAid Mixer if he loves to wear the chef’s hat in the relationship.
