12 Last-Minute Valentine’s Day 2026 Gifts That Will (Still) Win Your Date Over

The 2026 edition of our annual Valentine’s Day gift guide for all the last-minute shoppers with a date to impress this 14 February. 

Sound the alarms! The all-important day of love is about to arrive and we see you still don’t have a gift in hand for your special one… Don’t worry, we won’t tell on you. In fact, we’re here to help! Our quick and easy guide to last-minute gifts is exactly what you need to make sure your Valentine’s Day 2026 is complete. Categorised by personality, our list is filled with items that are thoughtful, useful, and sometimes delicious—because who needs more fad-driven things populating their shelves anymore? Not us! 

 

FOR THE ONES WHO ALWAYS DESERVE A SWEET TREAT

Going for chocolates and sweets may seem like the obvious choice here…but these three options go beyond your usual supermarket picks. A.Cross Creations’ Cosmic Bonbons set (RM158) will take your gifting to an interstellar level, complete with hand-crafted “planets” in various flavours. Venchi has released its Valentine’s Day 2026 collection (from RM75), available at all its retail outlets, featuring bold colours and patterns to bring vibrance to your day. Meanwhile, Dou Dou Bake’s alcohol-free strawberry shortcake (RM160) is a simple but effective way to say “I love you” to your Valentine. 

 

FOR THE ONES WHO TAKE THEIR ME TIME SERIOUSLY

Sometimes, all you need is a little break from the world and everything in it. If that sounds like something your Valentine would greatly appreciate, then these gifts will make sure they’re immersed in comfort the next time they take a little break. WarmGrey Tail’s Tile face towels (RM69) will be the perfect accompaniment to the at-home spa days, while Summerstuff.Marine’s Bubble Bliss candle (RM39) will have notes of clean bamboo and English pear wafting through the air. To top it all off, a warm light emanating from Lampu Lampu’s marble-inspired Guli Lamp (RM329) will add some soft magic to their days and evenings. 

 

FOR THE ONES WHO DON’T STOP MOVING

If you’ve heard your Valentine mutter words along the lines of “more movement” and “fitness” when talking about the new year’s resolutions, keep reading. New Balance’s 1080v15 shoes (RM829) have become the cult favourite in the running community, thanks to its cushioning technology and striking visuals. Lululemon’s Everyday Backpack 21L (RM448) is a great choice for the long-haul travellers or those who simply spend their days out and about heading to the office, gym, mall, and more. Lastly, the Garmin Venu 4 (RM2,319) is the perfect smartwatch companion for anyone looking for support in their wellness journey, including sleep, menstrual cycles, stress management, and fitness. 

 

FOR THE ONES WORKING ON THEIR TECH ECOSYSTEMS

Particularly useful for digital nomads or anyone who appreciates a home that can do it all, these tech-y gifts are sure to impress your date. Apple’s iPad Pro with M5 is a no-brainer when it comes to tablet devices, proving itself to be the ultimate portable companion for creatives, business executives, students, and more. For the audiophiles, the Sony WH-1000XM6 wireless noise-cancelling headphones (RM1,999) are a solid choice that balance style and performance. Alternatively, the Devialet Mania portable speaker (from RM4,990) is a luxe pick that will provide buttery melodies, deep bass notes, and 360° stereo sound.
