From Situationship to Hard Launch: Last-Minute DoorDash Gifts For Every Stage

Let’s be real: the “What are we?” talk is terrifying. But gift-giving shouldn’t be. Whether you’re officially soft-launching on the grid or simply celebrating your best friend, Valentine’s Day is no longer just for the “married with a mortgage” crowd.

But, what’s the best way to go about it? Turns out, DoorDash is basically the modern love language. It shifts a “thinking of you” text into a tangible act of care, delivered right to their door in under an hour (on average). And it’s not just food—DoorDash has everything from Sephora lip gloss to local florist bouquets, all in one place. You can even use recipient scheduling to make sure they’re home when the magic arrives. No trekking to the store, no delayed shipping notifications, just thoughtful gifts that only you will know are last-minute.

Here’s your guide to winning the holiday, no matter your relationship status.

Low pressure, high reward. You want to show you’re paying attention without looking like you’ve already picked out your wedding china. Why this works: It’s sweet, casual and meant to be shared. A box of warm Crumbl cookies or Magnolia Bakery cupcakes delivered through DoorDash says “I like you” without the heavy commitment of a five-course dinner. Pro Tip: Use the dedicated gifting flow to add a personalized digital notecard that keeps it light.

She’s seen you at your worst; she deserves your best. And what friend wouldn’t appreciate a gift from Sephora delivered straight to their door? Think hydrating face masks or that perfume she’s been eyeing. Delivering thoughtful surprises like a spa-day-in-a-box is the ultimate way to honor your bestie. DashPass Perk: If you’re a member, you can snag many of these gifts with $0 delivery fees on eligible orders.

You’ve posted a photo of their hand at dinner, but their face is still a mystery. It’s time to level up. Go for more than just red roses—think tulips or a vibrant mixed arrangement from a local florist. With DoorDash, you can choose from hand-picked floral arrangements from your favorite local florists, so whatever you choose is sure to get the W. Bonus: Pair them with a tech accessory, like a new pair of AirPods to show you’re invested.

You’ve done chocolate and flowers. This year, it’s time for the heavy hitters. Use DoorDash to facilitate the delivery of high-end gifts like a Dyson Airwrap or an Apple Watch. It’s the ultimate “I forgot it was today, but I still have impeccable taste” move. And since you can include multiple stops in your DoorDash order, add a bottle of Champagne to toast to your love impeccable gift-giving.
