I know, I know. You're still paying off your credit card bill post-Christmas and now it's already time to figure out what you're giving—and getting (fingers crossed!)—for Valentine's Day. Luckily, Anthropologie, my personal favorite place to pick up the cutest gifts, has plenty of affordable Valentine's Day gifts right now. Because we're fast approaching "love is in the air" season, I've done the hard work of scrolling through Anthro's adorable Valentine's Day shop to find plenty of hidden gems under $50.

Explore the Valentine's Day Shop

No matter if you're shopping for a Galentine's Day party, searching for the perfect present for the Anthro lovers in your life, or wantna treat yourself to something utterly crushworthy, it's all here for you to shop. I like to give Valentine's Day presents that feel like little luxuries, the type of gifts that they'll love but probably wouldn't purchase for themselves, which is why you'll find everything from chic martini glasses to bold playing cards here. Because trust me, you don't have to spend a fortune to treat your loved ones!

Anthropologie's Icon Juice Glasses have gone viral for a reason. They're super cute and come in at the perfect price point for gifting them to all of your gal pals and loved ones. I'm personally obsessed with this gummy bear version, complete with a red and pink color palette.

I'm honestly a little sad that I have to wear prescription glasses, because otherwise, I'd be alllll over these chic blue light aviators. They can make even the laziest of outfits look ultra-cool. Shop 'em in red and pink hues that feel very V-Day appropriate, or grab the tortoise pair for everyday wear.

Considering that my monogram bistro tile mug is one of the most-used items in my kitchen (sue me, I don't like to cook), I'm this close to hitting "add to cart" on one of these pretty in pink beauties. I mean, if I'm waking up early to schlep to the office, the least I can do is drink my coffee out of a mug that gives me heart eyes.

Not into hearts? Cherries feel very Valentine's Day-apropos without being entirely holiday dependent, making this sleep mask the perfect pick for any Galentine's Day gifting on the agenda. While it's also available in a white that's oozing retro vibes, I'm head over heels for this pink option.

Whether you're shopping for a Galentine's Day gift for someone who just got engaged or want to upgrade your nightstand with a cute space to stash your jewelry after a long day, Anthro has no shortage of trinket dishes. Not feeling these? Opt for a colorful floral option, a personalized pick, or one complete with plenty of "bisous."

Our editors called out corded necklaces as one of the biggest jewelry trends to watch in 2026, and truly, when have we EVER been wrong? Not only does this sculptural heart pendant perfectly embodies the trend, but it almost feels like a cooler version of the classic heart locket.

Trade in their crusty old makeup bag for this option that looks almost too pretty to use. I'm not sure what I love most about it—the dainty ruffle detail around the zipper, the mesh design, or the heart-shaped charms. It's giving Sabrina Carpenter, no? Add a few of these cute heart-printed makeup sponges for the sweetest finishing touch.

As the saying goes, "If Anthro is putting a cute lil' icon on it, I'm 100% buying it." First came the viral juice glasses and now, we've got socks that quite literally allow you to wear your heart on your sleeve feet. Not to mention, they'll look so cute poking out of your sneakers.

My ideal Valentine's Day definitely involves a dirty martini or two, which is why this glass just skyrocketed to the top of my V-Day wishlist. I mean, the chic green that reminds me of the colored wine glass trend? The lip print? The under-$20 price tag? I'm obssessed.

On mornings when I wake up feeling a little too puffy for my liking, I'm beelining it to the fridge to grab my ice roller (and this Anthro-approved ice mask). While I'm currently rocking with a cheap Amazon one, I wouldn't be mad if someone gifted me this sweet bow-covered upgrade.

Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn with these chunky cat-eye sunnies, complete with an absolutely darling heart-shaped cutout. They'll look so cute when paired with your red and pink Valentine's Day outfit, but are subtle enough for year-round wear.

these lovely spoons

XOXO Spoons

You know what really says "Love you like XO?" A set of spoons that will subtly remind them of it every single day, whether they're using them to stir their coffee or enjoy an evening bowl of ice cream. They'd be the perfect addition to your Galentine's Day tablescape, right?

As your resident BrüMate truther, I'm here to tell you that this pretty in pink cup will impress even the biggest water bottle snobs. It's got the same shape, size, and straw design as a Stanley Quencher, but it features a locking lid that prevents spills. I've been using one for well over a year now and can't see that changing any time soon.

Gifting candles for Valentine's Day is nothing new, but I'll do you one better: A stunning candle snuffer that will help prolong the life of their favorite scents and prevent ash and soot from getting all over their space. Not to mention, the rose shape is giving an elevated version of Beauty and the Beast.

If you're shopping for someone who has become obsessed with the journal ecosystem trend (My entire TikTok FYP is full of it!), then gifting them a journal is an absolute no-brainer. I'm obsessed with all of the planners and journals from Papier and now, I'm majorly coveting this leather Anthro exclusive.

If you really think about it, a Valentine's Day present for your pup is actually a V-Day gift for yourself, especially when it's this cute. I'm partial to a bandana myself, which is why if I had a dog, I would 100% buy one of these (It's avail in this ribbed XO style or a ruffled version complete with Valentine's Day motifs).

these bold playing cards

Playing Cards

Some of my all-time favorite gifts are those that are elevated versions of things I already have. For example: These playing cards, complete with a retro face design and bold, aesthetically pleasing imagery, are the exact type of thing I'd probably never buy myself, but would love to own.

As far as I'm concerned, the bag charm trend will exist until the end of time. Better yet when the charm is as functional as it is cute, like this playing card option with space to stow an AirTag. Trust me, they'll be uber-thankful for it while traveling this year.

Anyone who likes to entertain will love these reversible placemats, which feature both a cute martini illustration and a perfectly pink striped side. I love how this set comes with four placemats, making it an excellent gift for people who are always ready for a dinner party.

My gifting mantra? When in doubt, get 'em a candle. If you don't know their preferred scent profile, opt for a fragrance that embodies the season, like this flirty citrus candle from Boy Smells that's encased in a bold red jar. And if you're too nervous to take a guess on scent, might I suggest this cute strawberry basket candle?
