Valentine's Day Gift Guide 2025
Gift-giving is a common love language, but it can also cause a lot of indecision. After all, it’s difficult to generate new Valentine’s Day gift ideas, year after year, that hit the brief of something your partner both wants and needs.
Well, we have just the solution: the gift of great skin.
Applying nourishing skincare is a simple act of daily self-care, even for the person in your life who struggles to make time for themselves. With this in mind, we’ve curated a Valentine’s Day gift guide to inspire you in the lead up to the most romantic day of the year.
Why skincare is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift
Sometimes, a gift can say as much about the gift-giver as the recipient – and giving skincare for Valentine’s Day illustrates a particular kind of thoughtfulness. There are many reasons why skincare products can make excellent gifts.
Perhaps that special someone in your life needs a re-stock of their favourite products. Maybe your partner is in a self-care rut without a chance to treat themselves – or they might be new to skincare, without a clue where to begin. Whatever the reason you’re contemplating skincare Valentine’s Day gifts for him or her, it’s a meaningful option to show your other half that you think they’re worthy of some extra special attention this February.

Best Valentine’s Day gifts for him
Men can be tough to buy for – even more so if your partner doesn’t have an established skincare routine. Thankfully, Kiehl’s has a range of products that are formulated specifically for the texture and challenges of men’s skin. From shaving creams to our best-selling facial products, there’s something for every man whose skin could use a little TLC.
Read on for our top Valentine’s Day gift ideas for the man in your life.
Practical grooming kits he'll appreciate
The last thing you want is your thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift for him to gather dust in the back of the bathroom cupboard, so we’ve put together our top grooming products that your partner can actually use.
- Face wash and moisturiser: Combining our beloved men’s cleanser and moisturiser, The Daily Refresh Set includes a full-size Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash and Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment for Men to revive tired skin.
- Shaving cream: Help him prime for a close shave with our most popular men’s shaving cream: Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream - White Eagle. Suitable for all skin types, this shaving cream is enriched with camphor to cool his skin, sesame oil to soften its texture, and menthol to refresh your man’s complexion.
Skincare essentials he'll use daily
Generally speaking, men’s skin is thicker and oilier than women’s – with larger pores. Non-greasy, gel moisturisers tend to be well-suited to provide lightweight hydration without clogging pores. Enter: Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream, one of our best-selling moisturisers for oily to normal skin types to complete your Valentine’s Day gifts for him this year.
If your partner’s job involves a lot of manual labour or work outside, we recommend the Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. Formulated with a blend of avocado oil, eucalyptus oil, and sesame seed oil, this thick, rich formula is perfect for moisturising rough, dry hands.
Best Valentine's Day gifts for her
If you’re stumped on Valentine's Day gift ideas for your partner, you’ll find inspiration among Kiehl’s most iconic formulas. You might base your choice on skin concerns – like hydration, blemishes, brightening or anti-ageing. Or you might play it safe with a refill of her favourite products. Whether you need help choosing a face mask, picking a serum, or topping up her daily skincare essentials, consider this your ultimate Valentine's gift guide for her.
Pampering skincare sets to delight her
If life’s daily stresses are getting to your partner, what better way to pamper her than with some of our most luxurious skincare products?
Go the extra mile this February with some of our Valentine’s gifts for her.
- Overnight oil: A nighttime face oil is the sort of lavish gift she might never get for herself, so treat her to our Midnight Recovery Concentrate Facial Oil. A botanical blend of ingredients – including lavender essential oil, squalane and evening primrose oil – combine to revitalise the complexion and diminish fine lines.
- Hydrating face mask: Unlike her daily skincare staples, a face mask is reserved for nights when she needs that extra nourishment. Our pick is the Avocado Nourishing Hydration Mask: our creamy, dreamy face mask enriched with avocado fruit extract, avocado oil and evening primrose oil, which she can use up to three times a week.
Skincare staples she can't live without
Skincare products steeped in luxury are perfect for those special self-care nights or a multi-step evening routine, but every woman needs a few essentials in in her skincare regimen.
Below, you’ll find a few Valentine's Day gift ideas for her which she can use every day.
- Face moisturiser: As our number one squalane moisturiser, Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream is the best Valentine’s gift for everyday use. The lightweight, non-greasy formula works to fortify the skin moisture barrier with renewable glacial glycoprotein and olive-derived squalane.
- Body moisturiser: Body care is just as important as face care, but it often gets neglected in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Well, it’s time to course-correct with the Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream – a nourishing body lotion that provides three-second absorption and up to three days of hydration.
If these Valentine’s Day gift ideas have filled you with the desire to update your own regimen, explore some of our most-trusted skincare ingredients for anti-ageing.
