The 18 best Valentine's Day gifts for her that aren't chocolates or flowers

Got kids and/or pets? This fire-free find gently melts candles via the heat from its bulb, meaning no ashy messes to clean up and zero flames. All you do is place your candle on the base beneath the bulb, turn on the light and ... that's it. As the candle warms up from the heat of the lamp, it'll release its scent — without any burnt undertones. The dimmer control allows you to choose how bright you want the lamp to be; the brighter it is, the more intense your candle's scent will be.

Another cool feature? Its built-in timer, which you can set for two, four or eight hours before it automatically shuts off. Hooray for more peace of mind! And aromatics aside, the lamp itself is a looker, with its wooden base, gold metal stand and glass shade. This is its lowest price yet. (Psst: It would make a fab Mother's Day gift!)

Puffy, tired eyes are no match for these Jessica Alba-approved eye masks. Our beauty editor, Jennifer Romolini, also swears by them (and she's a celeb in our eyes!) because they nourish and brighten the delicate under-eye area, and look super cute while doing so. Each color indicates a different need — pink moisturizes with hyaluronic acid, gold gives a youthful glow and blue is packed with niacinamide to illuminate your skin.

Help your loved one get some well-deserved shut eye this year with the Nodpod. This is basically a weighted blanket for their eyes that blocks out light and applies gentle pressure so they can drift off soundly. Snag this bedside essential in any of six shades, including black, pink and cream.

I personally have a Nodpod and reach for it all the time. It's great when you're having trouble falling asleep because your mind is wandering or your room isn't dark enough. I pop this on my eyes and immediately relax.

Fresh flowers are nice and all, but they last for two weeks tops (if you're lucky). These rose-scented tablets will give off the same sought-after aroma in her bathroom without all the upkeep. Just pop a tab on the shower floor away from the water and breathe in its soothing scent as it slowly dissolves.

She wears her Queen of Indecision title proudly, but if there's anybody who can change that, it's you. Or, well, this die. The next time she's trying to figure out if she's in the mood for pasta or sushi (or something else), she can simply roll the die for confirmation. The folks at Stunfassoo also sell dice emblazoned with suggestions for weekend and nighttime activities, if she needs a little guidance in those departments. 

This heart isn't just for show. Nope, she can stick this buckwheat-filled pillow in the freezer or microwave to relax overworked muscles, ease cramps and soothe any bodily aches. "I got this for when I have really bad back pain, shoulder pain, or just period cramps in general," one five-star reviewer wrote, adding that its "soft and washable" cover is a nice touch.

This handmade wind chime brings a bit of etherality to your alfresco atmosphere — it's made with a blue or green wine bottle and an acrylic heart pendulum that fills the air with soothing sound whenever a breeze blows by.

Consider this the perfect gift for the one who sets your heart on fire. Add your initials and anniversary date to this wooden matchbox, then fill it with matches upon arrival so she can put it to work ASAP.

Call it magic, call it fate, but one thing's for sure: Something wonderful happened the day that you two crossed paths. Commemorate the moment that two became one with this personalized print, complete with your last names and the year you became official. Prices vary by size and print type, but a standard 5" x 7" print will run you as little as $22. 

Pick a card, any card, and get a new conversation prompt. Cards fall into one of six categories — relationship, intimacy, life, past, random and about you — and all are sure to switch things up from the same old, same old. Take it from this five-star reviewer: "This game was like marriage counseling in a box! I mean we talked about stuff we never would think to talk about, and we have been married for 18 years!"

Her style's anything but simple, and that's one of the many things you love about her. These sparkly heart studs are the perfect statement — one that's understated enough for day-to-day wear, but still full of, well, love. 

Your camera roll tells a story that only you two can read. Take 40 of your sweetest snaps and get them printed in this mini photo book, so you can always have 'em at the ready.  

Sol de Janeiro's award-winning Bum Bum Cream is the epitome of luxury — and the price tag is a reflection of that. Instead of wrapping up a single tub (it's a whopping $48), opt for this three-piece set, which also includes travel-friendly versions of the perfume mist and body wash in the same sweet scent.

Pure silk pajamas can cost a near fortune, but this set has that sought-after silky feel without the steep price tag. A bonus: One happy shopper gushed that her pair "holds up well with daily washing" and "dries very quickly." There are over 25 colors and patterns to choose from, but I'm partial to this striped pink pair because, well, Valentine's Day.

She's No. 1 in your book ... and I'm sure she'd say the same about you. My advice: Take a page out of my book (the puns are writing themselves, I swear!) and give your beloved bookworm a paper flower made out of — you guessed it — actual book pages. No watering required. 

Lego flowers are stealing hearts everywhere, and I can see why: Unlike the Valentine's Day bouquets that arrive at her doorstep, these stunning arrangements will stand the test of time (like your love ... right?). The latest offering leans into pinks and peaches with an eye-catching assortment of no-maintenance roses, ranunculus, orchids and more. Wrap up the whole kit and tell her you've got your next date night on lock, or wow her with a pre-built bunch.

Take them back to the day you said "I do." Upload a photo of your wedding venue to Letterfest and get a hand-drawn 10" x 12" sketch in return. Add the digital-proof option for an extra $5, so you can make sure everything looks accurate before they send the printed version.

Real love shines golden — hence why this gold-filled heart pendant made the cut. Personalize it with two initials (yours and hers, obviously) and let your love stand alone, or add up five mini hearts ($14 each) with your kid's initials to ensure the whole family is represented.
