There’s nothing more satisfying than giving someone a gift that they truly love. But if your special someone hasn’t told you what she wants for Valentine’s Day, it can be hard to know what will make her smile — especially with the pressure of a ticking clock. But that’s where we come in — the shopping experts at CBS Essentials have rounded up the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her in 2024. 

These gifts come at a variety of price points, so you’ll be able to give her the perfect gift even if you’re sticking to a budget. We’ve included reviewer-loved items from top-rated brands including Apple, Stanley, Cuts and so much more. Even if you think she already has it all, you’ll certainly find an idea here. But if you truly just can’t figure it out, there’s always an Amazon gift card.


Best Valentine’s Day 2024 gifts for her

Everybody loves getting a thoughtful gift. Whether she’s interested in beauty, fitness or more, there’s a gift idea for her ahead.


For your it girl: BloomsyBox It Girl

You can’t go wrong with a classic bouquet of flowers

This bunch of 15 Sarah Bernhardt peonies are sure to impress. The BloomsyBox It Girl bouquet arrives as buds to ensure a full flowering experience. Be sure to order now before Feb. 14 delivery slots fill up.

Why we like these flowers:

  • Pink flowers on Valentine’s Day — does it get any better?
  • You can also add a gift message.

For the perfume collector: Maison Margiela Replica On A Date eau de toilette

Maison Margiela Replica On A Date eau de toilette

Sephora


Replica On A Date has notes of black currant liquor accord, Isparta rose petal and patchouli. This warm floral fragrance “recreates the memories of falling in love” and comes in three sizes. She can wear this perfume to your Valentine’s Day date. 

The price listed is for the 1-ounce bottle size.

Why we like this perfume: 

Scents bring back memories, and she’ll remember this Valentine’s Day forever when she sprays on this perfume.


For your sweetie with a sweet tooth: Last Crumb luxury Valentine’s Day cookie collection 

Last Crumb luxury Valentine's Day cookie collection

Last Crumb


She’ll have cookies for days thanks to this delivery. The premium, handcrafted cookies inside are ever decadent. They come individually wrapped and in a gift box.

Flavors include Nutella heist (with Nutella, graham crackers and marshmallow), the floor is lava (with a chocolate ganache core), creme de la crumb (with an Oreo filling swirl) and more.

Why we like these cookies:

Valentine’s Day is all about the sweets, and these cookies go a step above some candy.


For the passenger princess: Stanley The Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler (40 oz.)

Iris Stanley cup

Stanley


You can’t go wrong with gifting a cult-favorite Stanley cup. People swear by 40-ounce Stanley Quencher cups because they keep water ice cold for 11 hours, have a convenient handle, fit in car cup holders despite their large size and have a straw that makes staying hydrated just a little more fun. Plus, they come in a variety of appealing colors, including pretty pastels. 

The viral version of the Stanley cup is the 40-ounce model, likely because drinking two of them almost equals the suggested daily water intake for women, taking the guesswork out of drinking enough water each day. Stanley also makes a smaller 30-ounce version of its Quencher H2.0 FlowState tumbler ($35) and a massive new 64-ounce version ($60).

Why we like Stanley cups:

  • They’re huge, so they require fewer refills, which may encourage you to drink more water.
  • They come in eye-catching colors, including special limited editions. These sell out often, so it’s fun to collect rare colors.

For the comfy girly: Lake Pima long-short weekend pajama set

Pima Long-Short Weekend Set

Lake


She’ll get so much use out of this super-soft Pima cotton pajama set. It’s currently available in year-round seasonal colors, including striped-, snowflake-, dot-, and heart-shaped patterns.

Want to make her Valentine’s Day extra special? You can pay $10 more and have this PJ set delivered in a gift box.

“They’re so soft, cute and comfy,” a reviewer on the Lake site says. “They are not a cheap, thin material like many lounge outfits — you can tell it is high quality.”

Why we like this PJ set:

These jammies are super soft and stylish. They comes in five cute colors and run from an XXS to an XXL.


For the jet setter: Beautifect Box

Beautifect Box

  • One charge lasts for up to a whole month.

FabFitFun seasonal box

FabFitFun


Allow FabFitFun to create a gift assortment for you with their seasonal boxes. A box comes with six full-size premium products from brands such as Our Place, Ana Luisa, Coach, Free People and more. 

The easiest way to gift a box is by giving a FabFitFun gift card. Note that the gift card is emailed immediately when you purchase it, so you can email it to yourself first to avoid any spoiled surprises. You can also include a personal message. 

Why we like FabFitFun:

A subscription offers a fun gift seasonally and allows you to try a bunch of different brands. It also takes the work out of creating a gift basket for you.


For the snacker: Boarderie Valentine’s Ciccetti cheese & charcuterie board

Boarderie Customizable Birthday Cheese & Charcuterie Boards

Boarderie


There’s Valentine’s Day chocolates, and then there’s a Valentine’s Day charcuterie. Indulge her savory tooth with this gift from Boarderie. It includes 18 artisan cheeses, meats, dried fruits, olives and some chocolates. 

This board is made fresh daily in three sizes. It comes with an Acacia wood serving board and even Valentine’s Day-themed cheeses. 

Why we like Boarderie:

  • This gift takes the work out of creating a charcuterie board. The boards are made fresh daily and look and taste great.
  • This gift is a great option for people who don’t really have a sweet tooth.

For the sporty girly: Cuts bestsellers kit

Upgrade her basics with this Cuts tops sampler. Cuts is a basics brand that makes athleisure that’s nice enough to wear to the office.

Kamala Harris will speak with “60 Minutes” tomorrow. Here’s what to know for the interview.

Avatar

Published

Voters will get the chance to hear from Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday as she presents her case for why she should be president in a “60 Minutes” election special.

For decades, “60 Minutes” has featured both Republican and Democratic nominees for presidents, but this year, former President Donald Trump backed out after previously indicating he would be on the show. Correspondent Scott Pelley, who’d been set to interview Trump, will instead travel to Arizona’s Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of Arizona’s voters and a critical battleground in a key swing state. 

One thing is certain about the election; with the U.S. deeply involved in both the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, whoever wins on Nov. 5 will become a wartime president. 

What Harris will discuss

Israel’s war started one year ago after Hamas launched a surprise terror attack and correspondent Bill Whitaker will discuss the ongoing war with Harris. 

Harris will also discuss the economy, immigration, her record as vice president and the differences between herself and Trump.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz will also appear.

Whitaker joined the Democratic ticket on the campaign trail this week to gain insight into their platform’s priorities and values, and what the candidates believe voters should know. 

Why Trump pulled out of the “60 Minutes” interview

Leading up to the candidate hour, Trump, through campaign spokespeople, was the first candidate to accept the “60 Minutes” request to be interviewed for the special, according to CBS News. It had been agreed that both candidates would receive equal time during the broadcast.

Trump last sat down with 60 Minutes in 2020. He walked out during the interview with Lesley Stahl. Trump referenced the incident on Tuesday night at a Milwaukee press conference when asked about his decision not to participate in the Oct. 7 “60 Minutes” election special. 

“Well, right now, I went to – they came to me and would like me to do an interview, but first I want to get an apology, because the last time I did an interview with them, if you remember, they challenged me on the computer,” Trump said. “They said the ‘laptop from hell’ was from Russia, and I said it wasn’t from Russia. It was from Hunter, and I never got an apology, so I’m sort of waiting. I’d love to do ’60 Minutes.’ I do everything.”

The Republican nominee for president emphasized that he felt he was owed an apology from “60 Minutes.”

“Let’s see if they do it. I wouldn’t mind doing 60,” Trump continued. “I’ve done ’60 Minutes’ a lot.”

In a statement on Tuesday, Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said that Trump’s team had not agreed to an interview.

“Fake News,” Cheung said in a post on X. “60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in. They also insisted on doing live fact checking, which is unprecedented.”

Previous Trump, Harris appearances on 60 Minutes

Trump previously sat down with “60 Minutes'” Mike Wallace in 1985, Pelley in 2015 and Lesley Stahl twice in 2016, first in July of that year and then again in November of 2016. He also spoke with Stahl again in 2018 and 2020.

Harris previously sat down with Whitaker last year. She also was interviewed by Norah O’Donnell, “CBS Evening News” anchor and “60 Minutes” contributing correspondent, in 2020
