Stuck for Valentine’s’ gift ideas? Overthinking your date night ‘fit? Can’t decide on your (much deserved) from me-to-me present? We’ve got you. Love is in the air and February 14th is fast approaching, but don’t stress: we’re here with all the inspo you need to make this V-Day extra special.

Whether you’re shopping for a lover of fashion, the outdoors, or cosy nights in – or for the finishing touch to your date night ‘fit – this bumper Valentine’s gift guide has it all. Better yet, all of our top picks are ready to add-to-bag with Next Day Delivery. So, even if you’re reading this on February 13th (no judgement here), we’ve got you covered.

For the Romantic

Of course, we’re all about footwear here at schuh – but are shoes a good Valentine’s Day gift? We reckon they might actually be the best V-Day present. Sure, they’re not your usual bouquet of roses or chocolates-and-a-teddy combo, but they’re memorable, wearable, and personal – and will stick around long after the chocolates are gone. You can thank us later.

If the special someone in your life (whether it’s your partner, bestie, or yourself) is a true romantic, shoes can be the perfect gift. Keep things cute with Valentine’s-coded colourways like pastel pink, bold red, or chic burgundy. The Nike Field General in pink nails the signature pink-and-red combo, while the adidas VL Court 3.0 in burgundy is classic, versatile, and wearable all year round. Got a certified cool girl in your life? Say no more: the New Balance 204L in pink is the answer. Trust us, you can’t go wrong with any of these picks.

For the Trendsetter

Looking for the perfect present for a fashion lover? Skip the cliché Valentine’s gifts and go for something that’s wearable, on-trend, and speaks to their style – nothing says I get you quite like it. We’ve got stacks of red-hot, just-landed styles at the moment, but here’s a handful of our faves that we know they’ll love.

 If your special someone is all about bold prints, dressing up, and making a statement with their sneakers, the adidas VL Court 3.0 in leopard print is a no-brainer. More into Scandi-inspired style and that effortless clean-girl aesthetic? The schuh Mindy Suede Lace Up in beige = instant winner. And if they’re all about those sporty-but-chic vibes, we guarantee they’ll be loving the ballet trainers trend (we can’t get enough, personally). Opt for a Valentine’s-ready colourway like the adidas Barreda Mary Jane in red for the perfect gift.

For that Special Homebody

Planning a stay-home vibe this Valentine’s Day? Or shopping for a special someone who’s loves a night in? You won’t go wrong with a pair of slippers or boots from one of our all-time favourite brands, UGG. It’s the kind of gift that works even for someone who says they don’t want anything – because who doesn’t want to be cosy? 

Opt for the UGG Scuffette II in chestnut for the perfect comfy-but-cute combo that we guarantee she’ll love. For him, you can’t go wrong with the iconic UGG Tasman II in dusted cocoa: the ideal balance of effortless cool and laidback comfort that’s perfect for coffee runs and lazy days alike. Or go full-out on the Valentine’s vibes with our current obsession, the UGG Classic Micro in pink diamond. Brownie points = secured.

For Converse Lovers

Love a pair of Chucks? The just-landed Converse Chucks in Love collection needs to be on your wishlist this year, whether you’re gifting to yourself or a loved one that can’t get enough of that iconic Converse energy. 

Think timeless Converse silhouettes in classic colourways, finished with Valentine’s-coded stitching, charms, and other cute details – perfect for wearing your heart on your soles. Go for a casual low-top silhouette in love heart red with the Converse Chucks In Love All Star Ox in red, a fresh take on a timeless staple with the Converse Chucks In Love All Star Hi in black & white, or a chunky sole and romantic heart detailing with the Converse Chucks in Love All Star Lift in white & red. These sneakers are a love story waiting to happen.

Date Night Picks

Gift = sorted. Now, what about your V-Day plans? Whether you’re going for dinner and cocktails, heading on an outdoor adventure, or staying in for a cosy night, we’ve got your perfect pair – whatever your Valentine’s looks like.

Classic date night? Dress up with a burgundy shoe like the sleek schuh Sade Slingback Court in burgundy or classic Dr. Martens 1460 in cherry red – ideal for levelling up any going out ‘fit. Keeping it chill but still elevated? The PUMA Speedcat Ballet in leopard print is perfect for laidback cocktails, dinner-and-a-movie vibes, or surprise date nights.

Keeping Things Lowkey?

Of course, Valentine’s isn’t just dinner dates. Dreaming of a day out in the hills? The KEEN Jasper in pink is cute and practical – perfect for a hike-then-pub date. Staying in for the night? A home-cooked dinner, bottle of wine, and movie = the perfect match for the laidback BIRKENSTOCK Boston in pale pink (bonus points for also being perfect for summer styling). And if you’re heading out for a casual date at the cinema, local coffee shop, or your favourite weekend market, any trainer on this list works – but we’re loving the Nike Dunk Low in burgundy for easy day-to-night vibes with a touch of romantic red.

Cupid-Approved Accessories

Accessories are also perfect for Valentine’s gifting, whether you’re after a cute finishing touch or a real treat for your special someone (or yourself, obviously). Cute & affordable? The Dr. Martens Heart Purse Bag Charm in pale pink is the perfect choice (and will pair perfectly with some red roses). Treating the fashionista in your life? Add the New Era Leopard Velour 9FORTY Cap or another effortlessly cool hat to cart. Going for full-on Valentine’s treat energy? The Dr. Martens Heart Crossbody Backpack in burgundy speaks for itself.
