If you, dear reader, are fortunate enough to find yourself deep in the throes of love, what better way to display your gratitude than one of the best Valentine’s Day gifts? As February 14 nears, look beyond the bouquet and consider gifts that are sure to send her heart soaring: a subtly sexy silk-charmeuse lingerie set, say, or a pair of 22-karat pink tourmaline earrings that will be on heavy rotation long past the holiday. Just don’t forget to accompany your token(s) of affection with—what else?—those three very special words.
Below, the best Valentine’s Day gifts to buy for your beloved.
This year, choose a thoughtful token made to cherish: Le Monde Beryl’s inky black velvet Mary Janes; Tekla’s super-soft cotton button-up in a feel-good pop of pink, or Attersee’s leather-trimmed alpaca wrap, which can be worn in a multitude of ways. Small in size but not in stature, a collection of Indian love poems from across more than two and a half millennia, meanwhile, may just be the most romantic offering of all.
Dazzling Valentine’s Day Jewelry and Bijoux
There are countless ways to express your affection, but does anything really do the trick like Sidney Garber’s heart-embossed, ruby-topped charm (whose profits fund charities dedicated to children’s mental health, education, and the arts) or a pair of Prounis’s handmade pink tourmaline earrings—both of which are designed to offer the promise of permanence?
Bags to Have and to Hold
A perfectly-crafted purse will be a welcome indulgence for a special someone worth spoiling. After all, who could ever refuse Savette’s burgundy-colored crossbody bag or Gabriela Hearst’s buttery leather carryall, a display of luxurious minimalism at its very finest?
Heartstopping Home Touches
To make your sweet home oh-so-very sweet look to mother-of-pearl caviar spoons, printed placemats from Milanese textile emporium Lisa Corti, and a heart-shaped Le Creuset casserole that will deliver a darling, delectable take on Alison Roman’s Instagram-famous baked ziti.
Blushing Beauty Accents
Get in the mood for love with a handful of cosmetics that are equal parts heart-stopping and head-turning. Think: Frédéric Malle’s softly scented bubble bath; Chanel’s cult-favorite Baume Essentiel, now available in glimmering rose gold; and Hermès’s new fiery red nail lacquer, which arrives in the French house’s signature orange boîte.
Send hearts aflutter with a selection of lingerie that strikes a softly sultry note. Take your pick from Araks’s candy-colored underpinnings, sumptuous silk pajama sets from La Perla, fiery-red (and lace-trimmed at that!) nightdresses hand-stitched in Carine Gilson’s Brussels atelier, and more.
What’s Valentine’s Day without something sweet? The requisite assortment of chocolates arrives by way of Paris, thanks to La Maison du Chocolat. Pair its handmade ganaches and pralines with Oishii’s perfectly ripe Omakase strawberries and a glass of Aplós’s uplifting non-alcoholic spirit—topped off with a blood orange wedge, perhaps—for a date night that beats an evening out at even the very best of restaurants.
When it comes to giving gifts to the gallant, opt for upgrades he wouldn’t dare purchase himself: Charvet’s pink-striped cotton boxers can replace those grubby gym shorts, say, while a cashmere beanie from the ultimate purveyor of discrete luxury—The Row—is a present worth keeping for yourself.
Puppy Love Presents
And because Valentine’s Day is really just an opportunity to celebrate love—in all its myriad forms—make sure not to forget our four-legged friends, our most loyal companions of all. An extra-plush bed or a heart rope toy (both sweet and sturdy) are sure to make your pooch bark with joy.
