The Kinja Deals Guide to Discounted Valentine's Day Gifts [Updating]

Valentine’s Day gifts can take many shapes and forms, but no matter what you decide to get your significant other, you shouldn’t have to pay full price. We’ll be updating this post with our favorite gift-friendly deals from now until the big day, so keep checking back until you find that perfect something for that special someone.


If you need an awesome Valentine’s Day gift for the Apple lover in your life, even if that person is yourself, we’ve got the first discounts ever on a pair of great products from Elevation Lab.

First up, iMac users can save 20% on the ElevationStand with code ELABKINJA888, which raises any modern iMac to a more ergonomic height, and is designed to perfectly match the brushed aluminum stand of Apple’s all-in-ones. Plus, the hollowed out space in the middle of the stand is perfect for hiding cables, external hard drives, and other things you’d rather not have to look at all day.

Also on sale for 20% off (with code ELABKINJA777) is DraftTable, the best iPad Pro stand designed specifically for artists. It holds the tablet steady at a variety of different angles for a more ergonomic drawing experience, and you can even get it bundled with an arm rest and Apple Pencil holder for $16 extra. It’s a desk stand, not a case, so it should work with all sizes of iPads.


If your Valentine’s Day involves a lot of... exploration, this Babeland sale is right up your alley. With 15% off, plus free shipping, on orders of $99+ at Babeland, when you use the code GIFTS18, you already know these things are tested, tried, and true. Not only that, there are some more utilitarian items as well, like lube, bondage tape, and the like, that you can use to get your order to hit that threshold.


Yes, seven blades really do make for a better shave, and you can get Dorco’s Pace 7, eight cartridges, and a premium gift box for just $14 with free shipping when you use code KINJA2618.


$50 Off Any Mattress + 2 Free Pillows | Eight Sleep | Promo code PRESIDENT50

There are seemingly dozens of internet mattress companies these days, but Eight Sleep sets itself apart by piling on smart features, and you can try out any of their mattresses for $50 off, plus two free pillows, with promo code PRESIDENT50.

The mattresses themselves are basically what you’ve come to expect from internet mattresses these days: They’re blocks built from multiple layers of different types of foam. With Eight Sleep though, you do get to pick from three different tiers, including one with innersprings that should be more breathable. Whichever mattress you choose, you’ll probably like it just fine, and if you don’t like it, Eight Sleep offers the industry standard 100 night trial period, so you can return it for any reason.

Eight Sleep’s real magic comes from its unique mattress cover, which has smart features built in that you’ll actually want to use. It can track your restfulness, heart rate, and other sleep stats independently for each side of the bed, wake you up with a smart alarm when you’re not deep in a REM cycle, and even integrate with other smart home appliances. So you could conceivably change your thermostat temperature automatically when you get into bed, and start brewing coffee whenever you’re about to wake up.

The best feature though, without question, is dual zone temperature control. Yes, the mattress pad doubles as a smartphone-connected electric blanket to warm each side of the bed independently, which will really come in handy for the rest of winter.


If you haven’t ordered your Valentine’s flowers yet, this is one of the few times where procrastination pays off. For a limited time, you can click this link to get 25% off any ProFlowers order of $29 or more from this special Valentine’s Day collection.

Options range from your standard roses, to tropical lilies, to combos with teddy bears and chocolate, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding the right bouquet. Plus, nearly every option comes with a variety of vase options (most with reasonable upcharges), and the 25% coupon will apply to those as well. There’s no need to enter a promo code, the discount should apply automatically when you get to checkout.


Loungewear would make a great last second Valentine’s day gift, but it’s also affordable enough that you can treat yourself. For a limited time, David Archy is offering solid discounts on fleece-lined leggings, no-show socks, and some very comfy-looking PJ sets on Amazon, including some supremely-soft modal items. Everything is $25 and under, and there are a couple different colors of each item. Pick them up while they’re discounted, and your wallet can relax a bit.


Not everyone can pull off the knee-high galoshes look (I cannot) and to be honest, Hunter Ankle Boots are bulbous and heavy and look like clown shoes. No offense. Alice + Whittles makes eco-friendly, slim, lightweight rain boots to get you through the damp months, and a couple different colors are on sale for under $100 right now.

Note: I’d recommend sizing up, as they run pretty narrow.


I can’t for the life of me figure out why records are making a comeback, but our Co-Op for best album to own on vinyl was one of our most popular polls ever, so I guess I’m duty-bound to report that this popular Fluance turntable is marked down to $170 today, within $10 of an all-time low.


Shell out just 12 clams to get 5 pounds of Swedish Fish gummy candy when you Subscribe & Save. Pick from assorted flavors, mini red, and regular-sized reds, and remember you can cancel your next shipment at any time after your first order ships.


Weighted Blankets

Whether you’re stuck on what to get your partner for Valentine’s Day, or the thought of the holiday makes your head hurt, you probably need a break. If you want to basically buy yourself a great gift, while giving it to someone else, you’re gonna want to check out a weighted blanket. This one is down to $127 with the code KUV8HZXQ, which is an all-time low. Just trust me on this one.

Update: Looks like the promo code is dead, but you can grab this one instead with a $20 off coupon for all weights.


The jury’s out on whether Nintendo Switch screen scratches can be attributed to faulty docks or careless owners, but regardless, soft dock covers are a fun way to customize your console. While supplies last, you can save 20% on any cover Active Patch sells on their site with promo code ACTIVEPATCH20, including custom ones with your own artwork.

Non-custom covers start at just about $11 the code, and custom ones are extremely reasonably priced at $20. This would also make a cool Valentine’s Day gift for the Nintendo fan in your life.


Your laptop is one of the most expensive things you own, and it deserves to be treated as such. Rather than throwing it roughshod into your bag, slip it into one of PicasoLabs’ beautiful, hand-stitched leather sleeves, now back on sale just for our readers in time for Valentine’s Day.

Jesus Diaz raved about these and interviewed the creator on Gizmodo a few years ago, and now you can pick your own from Amazon for 15% off with promo code KINJA015, plus $8 if you want it engraved.

There are several options available, and prices will vary depending on the size of your laptop. They’re all designed specifically for various MacBook models, but compare measurements, and you could probably find one to fit your Windows Ultrabook as well. No matter which one you choose, you’ll save 15% at checkout with that promo code. Needless to say, these also make for a fantastic Valentine’s Day gift.


It’s easy to make jokes about body pillows and single people with Valentine’s Day on the horizon, but many people in happy relationships like to hug a pillow while they sleep. It’s a lot cooler than hugging a 98 degree human, after all. So whether you’re buying for yourself or your significant other, this highly rated, 4.5 foot long one is just $15 on Amazon today.


Get the perfect, easy Valentine’s Day gift, or just treat yourself, with this Nordstrom Rack sale. Fine jewelry brand Bony Levy is up to 50% off, with a ton of gold and diamond pieces ringing in under $200. If you need something sparkly, this is the sale you want to take advantage of.


The bestselling, top-rated, and audience-favorite robotic vacuum recently got upgraded to a new and improved model, and you can suck up yours today for just $220 after clipping the $30 coupon on the product page the best deal we’ve seen in several months.

It has the features you guys loved about the first model - remote control, a slim body to reach under furniture, and large dust box, but boasts upgraded suction power, so the vacuum will sense when it needs to use a little extra juice to take care of a mess. It also has slightly larger wheels to easier navigate over door jams and higher-pile carpets, plus a larger HEPA-style filter to better trap allergens and pet hair.


Pack your travel stuff into a new Timbuk2 bag. Right now, grab 30% off top-selling styles with the code BEST30, which includes their ever-popular Commute, one of your favorite laptop bags. There’s also a bunch of backpacks as well as messengers to make travel a little bit easier. Plus, they make pretty good gifts.


Anker has not one, but two brand new sets of truly wireless earbuds on the market, and both are on sale for Valentine’s Day.

We just put up our impressions of both the Zolo Liberty and Liberty+ earbuds, but the gist is that they’re both solid, fitness-friendly options at a lower price point than most other competitors. The Plus model adds a transparency feature that uses microphones to let through a bit of ambient noise, customizable EQ settings, a case with 48 hours of battery life (compared to 24), and a few other features, but you can’t go wrong either way.

You can get the basic Liberties for just $80 right now with promo code LOVEZOLO, or save $30 and get the Liberty+ for just $120 with code ZOLOLOVE, which is the best deal we’ve seen on those since their crowdfunding campaign.

Bose’s (also excellent) true wireless earbuds are also on sale for $199 right now, their first discount ever from $250.


Boat Shoe season may seem way in the distance, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take advantage of Sperry’s deals. Right now, grab some shoes made for the open seas for just $40. Select boat shoes (and sneakers that are somehow being classified as boat shoes) are discounted when you use the code BOATSALE at checkout.


Sony’s WH1000XM2s put the noise-canceling headphone world on notice when they were released earlier this year, and now, you have another chance to get them for their Black Friday price. They’re still an investment at $298, but if you spend any significant amount of time in planes, trains, or just a noisy office, they’ll probably be the best thing you buy this year.


Amazon’s Valentine’s Day device deals are now live, with big savings available on Echoes, Kindles, Fire tablets, and more. I’m not sure they’re the most romantic gifts out there, but I don’t think anyone’s ever complained about getting a Kindle as a gift.

There are too many deals to list here, but you can find them all over on this post.


Bath bombs would make a great Valentine’s Day gift, and you can get this 16-pack gift box for $24 today on Amazon, down from its usual $30. Just remember to clip the 5% coupon to save a little extra at checkout.


This $314 Masterbuilt electric smoker makes cooking jerky, brisket, or (insert meat of your choice) as easy as dropping in some wood chips and hitting a few buttons. With capacity to hold 12 chickens, 2 whole turkeys, or 4 racks of ribs, it’s great for cookouts and family meal prepping. Today’s $314 price is a hearty discount from it’s usual $370 price tag. Happy smoking!


The Greenco G Pen Elite was already one of the best vaporizers for the money at its usual $150, but for a limited time, you can get it for just $105, or 30% off, with promo code KINJA30.

Or, for just $70 with the same code, you can also opt for the smaller G Pen Pro, which should perform similarly, but with a smaller chamber capacity and less precise temperature adjustment. Either way, these deals aren’t available for long, so get in before they go up in a puff of smoke.

From Gizmodo’s review:

“Pleasant” has come to define much of my time with the Grenco G Pen Elite. It charges quickly via USB and has battery life that last for days of regular use. It also feels great in my tiny hands and fits easily in a coat pocket or a purse. The thing that takes it from “perfectly pleasant” to near outstanding is the price. It’s just $170. That’s damn cheap compared to it’s competitors. The Firefly 2 costs $329.95 and the Crafty retails for $339. Sure those products heat via convection instead of roasting a ceramic chamber, they’re much easier to pull on, and the clouds they produce are enough to fishbowl someone sitting with you, but for nearly half the price the Grenco G Pen Elite is a fantastic deal.


If you don’t know about Dallas-based Breda, you need to. The watch brand creates minimalist, easy-to-wear styles of watches that aren’t overworked or over priced. And we’ve got an exclusive discount in time for the Valentine’s Day. Use the code KINJA35 and grab any colorway of their sleek Linx or Joule mesh-style watches for just $65.
