While we may have six more weeks of winter, we have less than two weeks until Valentine’s Day. Yet, rest assured, there’s still time to treat your loved one (or yourself!!!) to a gorgeous set of flowers. And, if you opt for something like this 16-piece, festive set of preserved roses in a heart-shaped box — you’re gifting loads of extra time to enjoy them.
Let me explain. Similar to luxury brand Venus et Fleur’s “Eternity Flowers,” without the eye-watering price tag, this set of “forever” roses has been specially preserved to stay fresh for literal years, with no watering, sun or other tending required. Coming in 16-, 27-, and 50-rose counts, in various colors, you can currently grab 16 red roses for 38% off, making them under $30, with free, pre-Feb. 14 delivery if you have Prime.
Though made from real roses, this hat box bouquet has been specially treated to stay fresh for up to three years with no maintenance required!
Also, heads up (especially if you don’t order flowers often): With Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year, many florists are stacking weekend and holiday delivery fees onto their florals — meaning fresh bouquets that won’t last longer the two or three weeks are even pricier than usual. This makes a preserved that’s equally romantic and vibrant yet longer-lasting, a way better deal.
The set is especially loved by reviewers who live in places where floral delivery is tricky or who are just tired of the hefty price tag and short lifespan of traditional bouquets.
″…For years my wife has said to get her an actual gift because it lasts compared to a bouquet of flowers,” one wrote. ”…With these I don’t have to worry about them dying right away. They are just as pretty as any fresh ones I bought and come in an equally nice presentation box.”
The flowers have exceeded reviewers’ expectations, arriving “beautifully packaged” and making an immediate and lasting impression.
Reviewer Ariel Casado says the roses feel “like a luxurious, long-lasting alternative to fresh flowers,” that look just as fresh and well-preserved as the day they arrived. “The colors are rich, the petals are soft yet perfectly intact, and there’s no fading or drying out,” they wrote.
Another fan, who said they waited “nearly a year” to write their review, was pleased to report the flowers are “holding up well, with no sign of aging.”
The set is a welcome present to loved ones, with many reporting happy recipients and even repeat purchases. “The colors are beautiful, they smell good and most of all they last,” G. Hodgson wrote. “I will definitely be purchasing them again.”
Of course, this heart-shaped bundle also makes a perfect self-gift, adorning your nightstand, coffee table or vanity. “I’ve always wanted some of these, so I decided to treat myself for Valentine’s Day,” Melissa Hofacre wrote. “They were a great deal! They are absolutely stunning!! The pictures don’t even do them justice.”
Reviewers are gushing over this set of 16 preserved roses. Read more 5-star reviews and grab a set for yourself or a loved one this Valentine’s Day.

“Bought this 16-piece preserved rose set as an anniversary gift to my wife, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations. It arrived beautifully packaged and made an immediate impression — elegant, vibrant, and full of charm. It’s now been a week since I gifted it, and the roses still look just as fresh and well-preserved as the day they arrived. The colors are rich, the petals are soft yet perfectly intact, and there’s no fading or drying out. It truly feels like a luxurious, long-lasting alternative to fresh flowers. If you’re looking for something meaningful that stands out from the usual gifts, this is a great choice. I’m very happy with the quality and presentation, and I’ll definitely consider ordering it again for future celebrations.” — Ariel Casado

Promising review: “This charcuterie board is very classy. Well-made and looks far more expensive than what it was.” — Nana Marie
Cozy Earth
A chic faux fur sleep mask (35% off)
Keep them cozy, well-rested and looking like a celebrity hiding from the paparazzi in this sleep mask coated in a layer of luxurious faux fur. The sleep essential from viral loungewear brand Cozy Earth is made predominantly of soft and breathable bamboo viscose to keep the night sweats at bay, with a touch of stretchy spandex to contour their head like a hug. The gift of good sleep is truly priceless, but luckily, this baby is now a cool 35% off.
Promising review: “We originally got this for travel, but now it’s part of our nightly sleep setup — no joke. It’s soft, doesn’t pull our hair (important), and actually stays put without squeezing your head. Blocks out the light without feeling like you’re wearing a helmet. We’ve tried other sleep masks and they don’t even come close.” — Shannon A.
A dashing waffle maker (20% off)
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it can also be a drag to prepare when the caffeine hasn’t even hit. Give them a jolt of joy each morning with this reliable waffle maker that crafts breakfast goodies into mini heart-shaped treats to give them energy to face the day. Conveniently, it’s 20% off to celebrate the holiday in style.
Promising review: “I have most of these little Dash makers, because they are all so handy I couldn’t help but want the whole set. I don’t have every design but I do have the flat, this one, the changeable plate one, pizzelle, the waffle bowl and several shaped ones. All work great and are super handy. I love how quick these cook. If feeding an army, it’s not so great unless you use the larger Dash appliances, like this one. Who doesn’t love heart waffles? These are great for a daycare or a bigger family. The small ones are great for a small family or singles. There are so many things you can make with these. They clean easy with a non scuffing brush or sponge.” — Melanie
Westman Atelier
A cheeky lip trio (25% off)
Want to do a better job of making them blush? This trio should do it. Westman Atelier makes some of the most popular clean beauty products to help anyone achieve that no-makeup makeup look, which tells your partner they look beautiful as is. When you buy this trio of blushes that double as lip tints, you get $78 worth of products for $60 — now on sale for $45 at 25% off.
Promising review: “Such an incredible value! I purchased this set on sale, so it was even a more incredible value! I love all three colors, each one blends so well and the color payoff is great on all of them. There is a reason that there is so much hype around the baby cheeks, blush sticks.” — kw123
A weighted emotional support plushie (27% off)
A weighted blanket for Valentine’s Day is nice and all — and so is a stuffed animal holding some sort of romantic trope. But even more unique is a gift that fuses the two motifs without feeling corny. — especially since it’ll also double as a heating or cooling pad thanks to the removable pad. This emotional support stuffed animal filled with glass beads in your choice of a cat, elephant or buffalo rings in at 5 pounds — just enough to feel like a hug when you’re not there. The weight can also be adjusted down to 2.13 pounds. Not too bad for a discount of 27% off, per our trackers. This beloved plushie debuted at around $49.99, most regularly costs $39.99 and its highest price is $54.99. This is the perfect time to grab it with loads of time to spare ahead of Valentine’s Day!
Promising review: “I cannot express how much I love this cat. I’ve started taking him to therapy with me and just having that weight on me has been so helpful. High quality. Travels well. Perfect weight.” — Lexi Lennox
