With Valentine’s Day coming up, now’s the perfect time to plan thoughtful gifts for your partners, platonic pals, or even indulge in a bit of self-love. I’ve curated a list of 25 suggestions for literally every type of Valentine, from the little luxuries to thoughtful tokens… we got you. 

Here at Tapcart, we dive deep into the DTC world every day. As a mobile commerce platform connecting Shopify Plus merchants with iOS and Android, Tapcart helps brand owners and operators strengthen their brands’ relationships with shoppers. But it doesn’t stop there — while we work with the top Shopify merchants on the daily, helping them reach their business goals, we are also avid shoppers ourselves! As a 28-year-old gal living in NYC, I must say I do enjoy a bit of shopping. So for that reason, I think I have some expertise on this subject matter and have taken it upon myself to create this comprehensive Valentine’s Day Guide that no one actually asked for. You’re welcome. 

So without further ado, grab your favorite beverage (we recommend a lime HOP WTR), kick your feet up, and let’s scroll through to find something special! 

If anything intrigues you, I’ve conveniently included links to these ecommerce stores so you can gift your heart out and be the V-day hero without ever leaving your couch.
