Listen, your wife says she "doesn't need anything" for Valentine's Day. She is lying. (Lovingly! But still lying.) The woman who keeps your household running, remembers every single dentist appointment, and pretends to laugh at your jokes deserves more than a gas station card and a box of chocolate she has to share with the kids.

That's where we come in. As Cosmo's professional gift-finders, it is literally our job to track down the romantic presents worth giving—and yes, flowers should absolutely still be part of the plan, but they shouldn't be the whole plan. Whether you're the type who starts shopping in January or the type who is reading this on February 13 in a cold sweat, I've got you covered. (P.S. Have you seen our last-minute Valentine's Day gift guide?)

Ahead, 22 Valentine's Day gifts for your wife that range from sweet little under-$30 surprises to full-on luxury splurges—all of which say "I pay attention to you" without you having to actually say it out loud.

Genuine leather, genuine fur lining, memory foam insole—and about a quarter of the price of the name-brand version. They come in over a dozen colors, have 1,400+ glowing reviews, and she will not take them off from now until April. You've been warned.

Her night routine is missing something and it’s this matching PJ set. Once she slips on these buttery soft pajamas, beauty sleep will almost be too easy.
