28 Gifts to Treat Yourself to for Valentine’s Day

Collage of self-care gifts for Valentine's Day.

Written by Ali Baldwin

"It’s the thought that counts when it comes to gifts. And who knows better than I what I’m thinking?" - Me

Single on Valentine’s Day? Guess what, bestie, you’re in excellent company, because 28% of U.S. households are single-person households. Including mine (unless you count my dog, who absolutely thinks he’s a person).

Hand on heart, I love it. Especially since it’s a fabulous opportunity to show myself (and maybe some close friends!) some love with a gift I’ve been debating getting for far too long. Here are the self-care gifts I’m eyeing up for Valentine’s Day (and think you should add to your own wishlists, too).

Valentine's Day Gifts to Give to Yourself (or Your BFF!)

1

Body Pillow

$

$

49.95

$

I imagine this transporting me to a realm in which I’m both the big and little spoon, cocooned in the perfect hug. Or at least alleviating the achiness that comes from being a side sleeper.

2

Mini Waffle Maker

$

$

12.99

$

One of the biggest challenges about being single is making yummy single-serving meals (leftovers are great, but I love a bit of variety, too). A homemade waffle would be a delicious victory.

3

Souper Cubes

$

$

34.99

$

Canned soup just doesn’t cut it for me (and my can opener barely cuts cans open anyway). The thought of a freezer full of perfectly portioned soups to enjoy whenever delights me.

4

Aromatherapy Diffuser with Auto Shut Off

$

$

29.95

$

What can I say? I’m just a girl, forever trying to find ways to destress while simultaneously making my home smell lovely. Not only can this do that, but I won't stress over turning it off.

5

Voluspa 18 oz. French Cade Lavender Candle

$

$

33.25

$

After having a lovely Fir-scented Voluspa candle stolen from me at Evite’s White Elephant party (*sob*), I can move on with this heavenly lavender-scented version.

6

Candle Warmer

$

$

24.99

$

Okay, but what if I fall asleep with the candle on? Not a prob with this auto-shut off candle warmer! It can also heat up a cup of coffee, so really, it’s already impressing me more than most dates.

7

Eight Saints Vitamin C Serum

$

$

34.20

$

According to Amazon, I first purchased the now TikTok-famous COSRX Snail Essence back in 2019. Am I a visionary? IDK, but I’m counting on this serum to be my next skincare game changer.

8

Motivational Water Bottle

$

$

12.99

$

I’m notoriously awful at staying hydrated, and if being surrounded by a sea of Stanleys isn’t motivating me to drink more water, it’s obvious I need to be told to. But, you know, in a nice, chic way.

9

Adorable Tea Bags

$

$

19.99

$

I love a good cup of tea, and I’m pretty sure one with a fun Tea-rex bag in it would make my day soooo much better (this brand’s cute heart or silhouette of Cillian Murphy designs will also do).

10

Tubing Mascara

$

$

8.64

$

Maybelline began after chemist Thomas Williams noticed his sister Mabel enhancing her eyelashes to woo a guy (it worked). Their Sky High Mascara is said to be a fab dupe for Thrive’s tubing mascara.

11

Rocketbook Reusable Smart Notepad

$

$

36.99

$

It's good to write thoughts out. But it can be cringe to read them the next day. I like that I can save the useful thoughts digitally and easily erase the "Huh?!?" ones with this notebook.

12

TUSHY Bidet

$

$

89.00

$

The amount of “I put it together myself!” reviews gives me the confidence to believe I won’t have to make an awkward phone call to my landlord explaining why I won’t get my security deposit back.

13

Silk Pillowcase

$

$

25.99

$

Anyone else dreaming of upgrading their pillowcase? This 100% mulberry silk (22 momme!) pillowcase is gentle on the skin, hair and wallet. Does it get any better?

14

grace & stella Illuminating Eye Masks

$

$

39.95

$

While we’d all love 8 hours of sleep a night, let’s be real—it’s not happening. But that doesn’t mean I can’t LOOK like I've gotten my beauty sleep thanks to these rejuvenating eye patches.

15

Ninja Air Fryer

$

$

74.99

$

TBH, I don’t know why I don’t own this yet. They're basically perfect for people who don’t always enjoy cooking just for themselves. I'm manifesting hitting the “Place your order” button this year.

16

Kitsch Stainless Steel Ice Roller

$

$

17.99

$

Look, when a co-worker with amazing skin raves about a beauty tool, you can bet I’m going to immediately add it to my wishlist. I’ll take all the de-puffing, glowing-complexion goodness I can get.

17

Back and Neck Shiatsu Massager

$

$

39.96

$

There are a lot of DIY massagers out there, but with 6500+ 5-star reviews (and my desire to undo the shoulder pain that comes with typing at a desk all day), this is my chosen one right here.

18

Linen Duvet and Pillow Sham Set

$

$

143.99

$

Linen is what I like to call “unfussy luxury.” Wrinkles? They enhance the look! Repeat washings? They make it even softer! It's def time to get a second set.

19

L'Occitane Hand Cream Set

$

$

33.00

$

I know I’m not the only one who needs to have super-moisturizing hand cream within reach at all times.

20

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Malibu Cozy Slippers

$

$

64.00

$

Who wouldn’t wish for the cloud-like coziness of Barefoot Dreams’ throws and robes on their feet? Frankly, I’d question anyone who doesn’t want that in their lives.

21

Wine Aerator and Preserver Set

$

$

44.99

$

This sleek set comes with an electric wine bottle opener (yay, no more struggle!), an aerator (yay, better wine!) and a preserver/stopper set (yay, no need to finish the bottle in one night!).

22

Iridescent Wine Glass Set

$

$

24.99

$

Speaking of wine nights, why not invite others over to share in a glass or two? Colorful glassware is a major trend right now (and I, for one, hope it never goes away).

23

Travel Blanket Pillow

$

$

26.99

$

Travel is one of the best self-care gifts you can give to yourself—minus for the whole stuck-on-an-airplane-for-hours moments. Anything that makes that part more comfortable is a major win.

24

Natori Nightgown

$

$

109.24

$

No shade to ancient t-shirts that are doing their best to be sleepwear, but there’s something so uplifting about putting on a flirty (but still comfy) nightgown just because.

25

Cozy Loungewear Set

$

$

39.99

$

For those days when I want to binge-watch a new show but also have to open the door for Amazon deliveries, this cute sweats set is it.

26

Botanical Bath Bomb Set

$

$

21.00

$

I’m obsessed with how pretty these are! I know that’s not the main point (the relaxing aromatherapeutic experience is) but, I love gifts that feel like gifts long after I’ve opened them.

27

Charlotte Tilbury WALK OF NO SHAME Lipstick

$

$

21.00

$

Red lipstick is timeless. Red lipstick is empowering. Red lipstick says, “You will know which cup is mine.” Just try to have a bad day when you’re rocking the perfect red lip.

28

Philodendron Micans

$

$

31.99

$

Plants can reduce stress, purify air and improve focus. While I love all my 70+ houseplants, I would love another Micans. It's incredibly easy to care for and looks gorgeous in various lighting.

What makes Evite SignUp Sheets different from SignUpGenius?

Developed hand-in-hand with community organizers, PTA presidents, parents and teachers, Evite's signup sheets are designed to make organizing volunteers a breeze. Here are a few ways SignUp Sheets are different than SignUpGenius:

  • 100% free: SignUp Sheets are free to use.
  • Ad-free: No popup ads ever! Our signup sheets remain clutter-free, keeping your volunteers focused on signing up.
  • No extra login required: Seamlessly use your Evite account to create and manage your signup sheets, keeping all your events in one convenient location.
  • Automatic reminders and notifications: Stay on top of your event with automated reminders and notifications for you and your participants. Perfect for busy parents, teachers and anyone juggling multiple commitments.
  • Customization options: Tailor your signup sheets to your specific event, whether it's a school fundraiser, potluck, volunteer opportunity or team activity. Add custom tasks, time slots and requirements for smooth coordination.
  • User-friendly experience: Our intuitive interface makes creating and sharing signup sheets simple for everyone, regardless of tech experience.
  • Real-time updates: Get instant notifications whenever someone signs up or makes a change, so you always know where things stand.

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!

What is a signup sheet?

Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.

Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer! 

Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.

How do I create a signup sheet?

Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:

  1. Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:some text
    • Signup sheets for standalone events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
    • Signup sheets for recurring or multi-day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
    • Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers and parent-teacher conferences.
  1. After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
  1. Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
  1. After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
  1. Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!

What information should be included on a signup sheet?

When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:

  1. A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
  1. When and where the event is taking place. 
  1. The organizer’s name and phone number.
  1. Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete. 

When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!

Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!

What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?

Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:

  • A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
  • Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
  • No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
  • The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
  • Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
  • An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
  • Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.

With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
