Here's the bad news: The first Valentine's Day spent together can make or break a couple. One day, your new relationship is hitting a comfortable stride. One holiday and an unfortunate present choice later, you're suffering from an acute case of eye strain because you're glued to your phone in hopes of seeing three little dots appear. Don't be that person! Get the gift that says: "I like you a perfectly appropriate amount."

That might mean you're in the market for a funny Valentine's Day gift, but depending on the vibe between you and your new partner, you may want to invest in something a little more serious than a "Ring for Sex" bell. (Or not, I don't know you guys.)

Now, the good news: We got you, boo. We've rounded up the best Valentine's Day gifts for him, the best Valentine's Day gifts for her, and just the straight-up best gifts in general. We're pretty much pros at all things romantic, including all the chocolate you need. And we've narrowed down every gift on the internet to find the ones that are the most suitable for a first Valentine's Day together. No pressure or anything.
