Valentine’s Day 2025 chocolates, candies and gifts we love at Walgreens

Valentine’s Day 2025 falls on Friday, Feb. 14 this year, making for a perfect date night of dinner and dancing, snuggling up on the couch for some streaming or the beginning of a weekend getaway. No matter how you’re celebrating your love together, don’t show up empty handed! 

Stop at Walgreens to pick up a gift and treat on your way (or several treats—the average customer puts three or more Valentine’s Day items in their basket*). You won’t be alone in taking advantage of our wide assortment and convenient locations at the last minute, as more than half of our Valentine’s Day sales happen on Feb. 13 and 14.*

Not sure what to get your loved ones? Walgreens seasonal merchandise experts Emily Gordon and Greg Schaffrath highlight some of the top Valentine’s Day picks this year, from traditional romantic options for significant others to cute and fun choices for any relationship, from Galentines to great-grandma. 

Showcase your love and devotion with heart-shaped boxes of premium chocolates 

“Heart-shaped boxes of chocolates are the go-to ‘wow’ gift, the big romantic gesture to really honor a relationship,” says Gordon. “Be sure to pick out a brand and flavor your partner will love, based on what you know about their taste.”

Among the premium chocolate heart boxes, you can choose one with a design that will feel special for your date. 

“We have many varieties beyond the traditional red. If your significant other likes sequins or animal print, get a box with that design to really tailor your gift to them,” says Gordon.

Let friends and family know you care with heart-shaped treats just right for them

“There’s a big element of Valentine’s Day that’s for family, kids and friends, the non-romantic type of love,” says Schaffrath. “We make sure to include fun pieces in our assortment so people can celebrate, no matter how they’re participating.”

From boxes adorned with your favorite characters to ones with an actual stuffed animal on front, these fun options can be filled with alternatives to chocolate like sour gummies or fruity candy.

Put smiles on every student’s face with classroom exchange Valentines made easy

“People have been loving our peelable gummies, and we were able to offer peelable banana gummies in packages perfect for a Valentine’s Day classroom exchange,” says Gordon. “Walgreens is not just a last-minute destination; it’s really about solutions like this that make the season easier for customers overall.”

Other trendy treats for the whole group include newly offered freeze-dried peach gummy rings and apple burst gummies in a classroom-ready package that will look great on any teacher’s desk. For a tried-and-true sharable, there’s always the top-selling by quantity* Sweethearts Conversation Hearts to pass around.

Add in cards, flowers and balloons for the full package 

“For my wife, I know I can get her a little bit of everything at Walgreens for Valentine’s Day: a stuffed animal, her favorite chocolate, a card and the flowers,” says Schaffrath. “If I don’t have the flowers, I’m in trouble!” 

Gordon agrees on the importance of the variety of presents beyond just candy: “If I was receiving the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, it would be a box of Lindt chocolates, a bouquet of a dozen roses and a card. Easy, three items and you’re done.”
