If you've waited until the last minute, you know that you can just Instacart over a gift, right? Your special someone doesn't even have to live locally. And this solves the problem of flower delivery sites' Valentine's Day delivery slots filling up. Just pick the nicest bouquet from their local grocery store and have it delivered day of. You can also deliver perfume from Sephora, chocolates from Walgreens and more. Instacart has a Valentine's Day gifts hub for you to shop.


Gift a Scentbird subscription

If you're stumped on what perfume or cologne to pick out for him or her, try a Scentbird subscription. Here's how it works: 8 mL bottles are filled with fragrances from brands like Marc Jacobs and Versace. That equals about 140 sprays of perfume. Your loved one can test different scents, one bottle a month, without having to commit to a full bottle. Choose from a 3-month, 6-month or 12-month subscription.

Three Scentbird bottles cost less than one full-size perfume, at $44. And if you gift a 6-month or 12-month subscription, you'll even receive one or two free fragrances yourself, respectively. Your loved one will receive an email notifying them of your subscription gift, so this idea even works if you've procrastinated until Valentine's Day.
