The Kinja Deals Guide to Discounted Valentine's Day Gifts [Updating]

PublishedFebruary 2, 2019

In the words of Liz Lemon, “Love is patient. Love is weird and sometimes gross. Love is elusive. And you found it. So treasure it.” By all means, you should spoil your significant other(s) this Valentine’s Day. But that doesn’t mean you should have to pay full price.

We’ll be updating this post with our favorite gift-friendly deals from now until the big day, so keep checking back until you find that perfect something for that special someone, or someones.

And for everyone else, Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day! Bookmark Kinja Deals and follow us on Twitter and Facebook, or sign up for our newsletter to never miss a deal.

You can get Anker’s brand new Soundcore Life 2 noise canceling cans for just $45 today with coupon on the page. But, if you want to completely Anker-ize your life, you can opt for the gift set, which includes the headphones, a travel case, a small battery pack, a cable, and cables for the flight.

These headphones run for up to 30 hours with noise canceling enabled and double that if you’re using a wired connection. But what sets the Soundcore Life 2s apart from similarly priced competitors is Anker’s signature BassUp mode. Just push a button twice, and the headphones will automatically adjust their EQ to emphasize the low end of your music.

The prices on both the standalone headphones and gift set are the lowest we’ve ever seen. Just make sure you clip that coupon.

You know what would really take your relationship to the next level? Becoming parents — to a cactus or succulent of some kind, of course. Tell your significant other that you care on Valentine’s Day by committing to raise a plant with them. Amazon is marking down a selection of Valentine’s Day-themed plants that would make perfect gifts. Honestly, if you’re with someone who wouldn’t love to receive a succulent in the shape of a heart with the phrase “Life Would Succ Without You” printed on the planter, break up with them.

Weighted Blankets

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but it’s cold as hell outside, and I can’t think of a better time for a weighted blanket. In addition to keeping you warm, a weighted blanket can work wonders for your anxiety, and several different models are on sale today for the first time since the holiday shopping season, including a beefy 20 pounder for just $85. Just be sure to note the promo codes.

Personally, I want my weighted blankets to be capable of breaking ribs, but the general recommendation is 10% of your body weight. Not to stress you out, but we wouldn’t expect this deal to last for long.

Spring’s not quite here yet, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying the great outdoors. All the more reason to get some fresh air sooner rather than later: REI is taking up to 50% off a wide range of camping gear, outerwear, winter boots, and other footwear.

If you want to stack even more savings, REI Outlet is running a similarly huge sale as well. A lot of items are only available in limited colors or sizes, but you can score some seriously great deals there. Gather your gear of choice quickly, though; like the cold, this sale won’t last much longer.

Grab a Nike Breathe Hyper Dry tee for just $24, Patagonia’s eco-friendly Silent Down jacket, a new pair of premium Smartwool socks, a fan-driven BioLite camp stove, or check out all the deals from these popular brands.

That’s really just the tip of the iceberg though. There are thousands of deals from hundreds of brands, and you can find them all here.

Unless you really need the iPad Pro (and you almost definitely do not), the standard, vanilla 2018 iPad is a terrific tablet for both consuming and creating media. It even works with the Apple Pencil, the first non-Pro iPad to do so.

While we saw some better deals on these around Black Friday (if you were quick enough to snag them), $250 for 32GB and $330 for 128GB are still terrific prices. If you ask me, it’s worth buying one of these for the express purpose of playing Civilization VI on the go.

The release of the new Apple Watch Series 4 coincided with a price drop for the still-excellent Series 3. And today at Walmart, you can save even more.

This deal is valid for both the 38mm ($199) and 42mm ($229) GPS models. Sadly, the cellular version isn’t on sale this time. And while those deals aren’t quite as good as the ones we saw around Black Friday, they’re still $50 less than Apple would charge you.

Can’t live without the larger screen, faster processor, and EKG features of the Series 4? It’s $15 off at Amazon as well. (40mm Cellular | 44mm Cellular)

Weighted Blankets

David Archy might not be a household name yet, but they sell some of the most popular underwear and clothing basics on Amazon, and a whole bunch of it is on sale today, including other items like shirts, robes, and socks.

For this sale, you can save 20% on anything from this page (it features underwear, tees, thermal leggings, and more) with promo code 20LOVEIN, or take 25% off the fleece robes on this page with promo code 25LOVEIN. Need a hint of where to get started? These breathable boxer briefs are a great stand-in for ExOfficio’s Give-N-Gos (I own plenty of both), but for about half the price with today’s deal.

iOttie’s iON wireless chargers are some of the prettiest and fastest Qi pads you can buy, and they just marked down three different models for Valentine’s Day to some of the best prices we’ve seen...if you like red.

The iON Wireless Stand and iON Fast Charging Pad Plus (which includes an extra USB charging port for your nightstand) are both marked down to $35 from their usual $50, while the mini charging pad (which doesn’t have the USB port) is down to $30, from its usual $40.

Ranging in price from $95 to upwards of $150, Glerups are certainly a splurge, but that didn’t stop them from being swiftly selected as our readers’ favorite slipper a while back. If you’ve been considering picking up a pair for yourself since that fateful Co-op, the wait has been worth it. Right now, the camp-sole versions of both the closed-back shoe and boot styles are on sale for $109 and $125, respectively, at Huckberry.

The rubber soles on these wooly slippers mean you won’t have to change shoes if you want to run outside to pick up the paper or grab the mail, or heck, just wear ’em out. No one would blame you; Glerups are just that comfortable.

Peak Design’s Travel Line backpack system is incredibly well thought out, incredibly well made, and...incredibly expensive. Huckberry’s here to help with that last part today, at least a little bit. For a limited time, $370 gets you the backpack with the tech kit and the wash kit (a toiletry bag), both of which are designed to nest perfectly inside the backpack, no matter which side you open it from.

Peak Design gear almost never goes on sale, so if this has been on your radar, or you’re shopping for that special someone who loves to travel, this $50 discount is abut as good as you’re likely to see for a long time.

If you own a Nintendo Switch, all six games that are on sale for $45 right now are basically essential. Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey speak for themselves, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Party are great for get-togethers, and Splatoon 2 and Mario Tennis Aces offer two of Nintendo’s best online multiplayer experiences.

Just note that the deals are split between Amazon and Walmart, with certain deals available at both. None of these games go on sale often, so if you’ve had them on your wishlist, I wouldn’t wait.

Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Starter Pack | $45 | Amazon | Also at Walmart

Super Mario Odyssey Starter Pack | $45 | Walmart

Mario Tennis Aces | $45 | Walmart

Super Mario Party | $45 | Amazon | Also at Walmart

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | $45 | Walmart

Splatoon 2 Starter Pack | $45 | Amazon | Also at Walmart

Sometimes, wrapping yourself in a cocoon of blankets is simply not enough. In those moments, reach for this cozy, reversible Reepow Hoodie Blanket — literally, a blanket you can wear — now just $30 with promo code 45LB2M3M.

This oversized sweatshirt-blanket is one-size-fits-all and long enough to cover a good portion of your lets. One side features super soft sherpa material, while the other features flannel in either navy or red, but both sides have a handy front pocket in which to store your phone, or just your hands. It will definitely replace all your regular, non-hooded and/or sleeveless throw blankets and hey, maybe even your clothes, too — no judgement.

Firstleaf is an online wine club that learns your preferences, offers tons of options, and most importantly, saves you money compared to buying from the store. It’s a solid deal any time, but it’s even better for our readers right now.

Every new Firstleaf member gets an introductory delivery with six bottles of wine for just $40 with free shipping, and every box thereafter includes six bottles for $80, plus $10 shipping. But if you use this link and promo code Kinja when you sign up, you’ll get FREE shipping on every box for your entire first year. That’ll save you over $100 if you get a new box every month. At the very least, you should get the trial box for less than $7 per bottle. I mean, why wouldn’t you?

Yankee Candle’s latest offer keeps things nice and simple: Buy three of anything, get three of anything for free. Or, to put it more simply, add any six items to your cart, and the three least expensive will be completely free. That’s what I call a great Valentine’s Day sale.

Basically every device Amazon makes was on sale for Black Friday, with one glaring exception: The new, waterproof, Bluetooth-equipped Kindle Paperwhite. So if you were holding out on a deal for all your pool and bathtub reading needs, your patience has been rewarded today with a $30 discount. We saw it for $90 briefly last month, but if you’re hunting for a good Valentine’s Day gift, this is still a solid deal.

FoodSavers can pay for themselves by keeping your frozen and refrigerated food fresher for longer, and that’s not even accounting for how great they are for sous vide. Now, you can save on several different models during the company’s Valentine’s Day sale.

The $70 v2244 is a great starter sealer if you just want to try it out, but the more expensive models like the v4440 include a handheld vacuum hose that can remove air from FoodSaver’s reusable containers, in addition to regular sealing bags.

Are they romantic Valentine’s Day gifts? Not exactly. But there’s nothing sexy about spoiled food.

We’re big fans of Dallas-based Breda’s minimalist timepieces, and at about $50-$60, they’d make a great Valentine’s Day gift. For a limited time, use promo code KINJA25 to save 25% on the Valor and Belmont styles found on this page, plus free two day shipping so you’ll be sure to get it in time.

The changing of the seasons is a great time to buy new clothes, and while it might not currently feel like spring is on the horizon, warmer temperatures will be here before you know it. Right now, Marmot’s taking up to 50% off hundreds of sale items during the company’s end of season sale, which is a great opportunity to save on clothes for the coming months, or stock up on cheap winter wear for next year. No promo code required.

Need somewhere to get started? The Marmot Precip (men | women) and Minimalist (men | women) were both among our readers’ favorite rain coats, and I’m a particular fan of the minimalist’s hood brim.

Twice a year, ExOfficio blows out its inventory with an end of season sale, so get over there right this minute and stock up for a rare 40-60% off.

Obviously, ExOfficio’s Give-N-Go underwear is the stuff of legends, and a great place to start with this sale. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find leggings, shirts, pants, jackets, and more. Orders over $50 ship for free, so fill up that cart.

Valentine’s Day is officially 13 days out, which means it’s time to start planning something special for that special someone. If you’re smart, you’ll consider getting the object of your affection a bouquet of flowers, because flowers are classic, easy to procure, and — thanks to this deal from 1800Flowers — not too pricey.

For a limited time, if you order select Valentine’s Day flowers to be delivered sometime between February 8 and 12, 1800Flowers will give you 25% off — a pretty solid incentive to make Valentine’s Day come a couple days early. Just use promo code DLVRCUPID and get your S.O. anything from a classic bouquet of roses or an elegant orchid, to a not-so-traditional heart-shaped bamboo plant or azalea bonsai tree. Meanwhile, I personally am feeling emotional about this chocolate-filled gift basket, and also this bucket of popcorn. (Single men of New York City, are you listening?!)

Don’t let this deal make you go red in the face; we’re all adults here, and lingerie is maybe the most sought after item on the Valentine’s Day gift list. So pick up a few quality pieces at Journelle, which happens to be taking 25% off all red lingerie through February 5 with promo code LADYINRED. Their stiff is well made, size inclusive, and actually attractive, so no red flags when it comes to this sale.

In the immortal, paraphrased words of Taylor Swift, this deal has that red lip classic thing that you like. MAC staples rarely go on sale, but today, that’s to Ulta’s holiday Beauty Blitz, a Christmas miracle has occurred: MAC’s Shiny Pretty Things All Star Kit, featuring a trio of coveted minis is down to just $15. Included in the kit is cult-favorite Ruby Woo lipstick, the most universally beloved true blue red lip shade, in a tiny size perfect for keeping in your purse, plus a mini Prep + Prime Fix+ and In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash. This bundle would make for a nice gift (you can gift it to yourself, too, by the way), and size-wise, it has major benefits for travel.

We’ve got a sale that will make you get out your wallet...and ditch it for something newer and cuter. The pocketbook purveyors at Kate Spade want to hook you up with new handbags, wallets, clothing, jewelry and other accessories this season, so they’re taking an extra 30% off already marked down sale items. Use promo code BRRR to take advantage of this designer deal.

Nivea’s gift set is back for 2018, and even if you don’t want to give anyone on your shopping list a box of men’s grooming supplies, you might want to buy it for yourself. Just $15 (after clipping the 40% coupon) gets you two types of body wash, body lotion, lip balm, and shaving cream. We’re talking full-size products here here too, the good stuff. One might call it...a soap box.

Amazon’s ambitions in home decor are obvious, and now, they’ve even teamed up with renowned designer Jonathan Adler for an exclusive line of art, furniture, picture frames, and more. They’re eclectic, they ship for free with Prime, and right now, a bunch of them are on sale for the best prices ever. Many are already low in stock though, so don’t just sit around.

Cashmere is the height of winter luxury — and often has a price tag to match — but right now, Uniqlo wants to swathe you in the soft, warm material for less. The retailer marking down their range of cashmere sweaters styles for men and women to $50 and $40, respectively — some of the lowest prices we’ve seen. Each pullover comes in a range of colors, so true cashmere snobs couldn’t be blamed for taking advantage of this sale to start a full-on cashmere collection. You deserve only the best, after all.

If you still haven’t outfitted your kitchen with a KitchenAid, you can get a certified refurbished Professional 6 quart model for just $200, direct from KitchenAid’s own website. At 575 watts, the Pro model can handle the thickest doughs where the lower end KitchenAids would struggle, and with delivery promised by early February, it could make for a great Valentine’s Day gift.

Bite Beauty’s Amuse Bouche line is a bonafide cult favorite, and right now, the brand’s Liquified Lipstick, normally $24, is on sale for just $12. Available in 28 shades, this liquid lipstick delivers in terms of pigment and moisture — unlike other liquid formulas that start off smooth before drying like shrink wrap on your lips. The Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick instead leaves behind a satiny finish, thanks to an ultra hydrating combo of monoi butter and coconut oil. Snag your must-have shades before this sale kisses us all goodbye.

It’s a new year, so get a new wardrobe to match the new you. Bonobos has added 200 new styles to their sale section, and you can take all of them home for an extra 50% off using promo code DONTQUIT. Make space in your closet for essentials like chinos, jeans, button-downs, and suits, and get ready to look on the outside like the put together guy you are on the inside.
