For some, Valentine’s Day is a big deal, but for others, it’s something you forget about until it’s right around the corner (or in two days), and then you start to panic.

If you’re in the second group, fear not – we’ve put together a list of quick and easy Valentine's Day gifts that will ensure your loved one never suspects you left it until the last minute.

Physical gifts that will arrive on time

It may be too late to order from most online retailers, but there’s still time to purchase something from Amazon thanks to Prime’s expedited delivery.

As the world's biggest online marketplace, Amazon stocks almost everything, and what’s even better is that lots of items are eligible for same- or next-day metro delivery if you’re an Amazon Prime member. If you’re already signed up, you’re all good to go, but if you’re not, you can sign up now for just $9.99 per month. Or, if you’ve never signed up before, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial and enjoy all the perks for free.

Below, we’ve collected a few examples of gifts that are eligible for express delivery with Amazon Prime; however, there are hundreds of other options if none of these appeal. If you need more ideas, Amazon has its own Valentine’s Day gift guide with many items that will arrive before the big day.

Amazon gift card

While it may not be the most thoughtful gift in the world, if you’re lost for ideas (or short on time), an Amazon gift card is a versatile option that’ll allow the recipient to choose their own present. Amazon gift cards can be used on physical products from Amazon, as well as on Kindle books and Audible audiobooks, or even Prime Video and Amazon Music subscriptions. Gift cards can be purchased for any amount between $1 and $2,000, giving you lots of flexibility. Plus, the gift card can either be printed out or immediately sent to the recipient’s email, making it the perfect last-minute gift.

A streaming subscription

The cost of streaming platforms really adds up, so gifting someone a subscription is a very thoughtful and generous gift, and Valentine’s Day is basically the perfect opportunity for some ‘Netflix and chill’. Plus, you’ll probably also be able to utilise the subscription too, so it’s kind of also a gift for you!

Disney+ Subscription
Disney+ Subscription: at Disney+

Home to all your childhood favourites, including The Lion King, High School Musical and Star Wars, as well as newer shows and movies like Tell Me Lies, Tron: Ares and The Artful Dodger, a Disney+ subscription is the gift that keeps on giving, and it is sure to keep your loved one occupied this Valentine’s Day.
Depending on how much you want to spend, a yearly Disney+ Standard subscription costs $159.99, or $15.99 per month.

Binge Subscription
Binge Subscription: at BINGE

If your beau is not a massive Disney fan or they’ve already got a Disney+ subscription, Binge is a great alternative. With comfort shows like Schitt’s Creek, The Office and NCIS, as well as popular new releases like All Her Fault, Ponies and Under Salt Marsh, there’s something for everyone. Also, if you’re on a tight budget, you can currently get a Binge subscription for just $5 for the first month, or if you’re feeling generous, an annual subscription costs between $79 and $179, depending on the tier you choose.

Experience gifts

If they’re less into material things, the gift of an experience is a great option – and one that doesn’t require shipping.

Groupon experience
