Intimacy, closeness, and love still look a little bit different for many people this year due to the pandemic. With flight cancellations and contagious variants, we can't all be with the ones we love in person. And even if you're lucky enough to easily spend time with a significant other, you might not want to celebrate this Valentine's Day with a big night out as you may have in the past. But if the past two years have taught us anything, it's that we have the technology to stay connected to each other no matter where we are—and that there are few things we can't buy online.
So if you're trying to figure out how to make Valentine's Day special this year, you might consider sending that special someone a thoughtful gift box or basket containing a few of their favorite things. There are packages filled with everything from classic gifts like wine, chocolate, and flowers to more unexpected treats like assorted cheeses, date night games, and even underwear all available online. You can find them from popular stores such as Williams Sonoma, or shop handmade bundles from places like Amazon and Etsy.
Whether you're shopping for a romantic interest, a best friend, a sibling, or a parent, there's a special gift box for them you can order with the click of a button. Take a look below for some of the best Valentine's Day gift baskets to get some ideas. And don't think you can't buy one for yourself, too. Sometimes you have to be your own Valentine, right?
