2022 Valentine’s Gift Guide

We typically reserve one post every month to share our team’s favorite things, but this time, we’re sharing it in the form of a Valentine’s gift guide. We’ve compiled a variety of selections to celebrate the occasion, from the traditional picks like flowers and soaps to new ideas like a display-worthy French press and a family-friendly board game. Our philosophy with Valentine’s gifting is all about thoughtfulness and simplicity. We shy away from over-the-top presents in favor of quality time spent with the ones we love. This year, we’re planning a Valentine’s fondue party at home, and any of these gifts would be like icing on the cake.

A Valentine’s Gift Guide

 

 

Gisele Shortie PJ Set

We love these blush-toned pajamas because they’re cute for Valentine’s Day but truly work throughout the year. The breathable fabric is perfect for warm sleepers and, believe it or not, gets even softer over time.

 

Stone Heart Soap Dish

Made from natural stone, this petite heart-shaped dish is like a jack of all trades. Use it for soap or jewelry, or style it on a console table to hold your house keys.

 

Fresh Valentine’s Day Bouquet

Predictable as they may be, there’s nothing like fresh flowers on Valentine’s Day. In lieu of red roses, we prefer a more inspired arrangement like this bouquet from Terrain. It’s got so much texture and vibrance with hand-selected roses, peonies, sweet peas, and scabiosa. Plus, easy shopping is just a click away—just forward the link to your special someone.

Marble Scallop Bowl

Handcrafted with marble, this delicate scallop bowl delivers both form and function. It’s available to order in seven different sizes for a wide variety of uses.

 

Matte Black French Press

Nothing says “I love you” like a well-made cup of coffee. We love the idea of gifting a French press and putting it to good use right away. With a matte black and walnut wood detailing, this is one you’ll actually want to keep on the counter.

 

Aesop Gift Set

The Aesop gift set featuring all your favorite products is designed to nourish your hands and body. You’ll receive their signature hand wash, hand balm, body cleanser, and body balm to use throughout winter and beyond.

Shower Steamers

If you’re new to the concept of shower steamers, here’s a quick how-to. Drop one onto the shower floor under the water stream and let it disperse a minute before entering and enjoying the aroma. It’s all the relaxation of a bath in shower form, with calming scents for a luxurious experience.

 

4 in a Row Heart Game

Introduce your family to Connect Four, Valentine’s style. Just add popcorn and a bowl of festive sweets for the best game night ever.

 

The Love Monster

We couldn’t compile a Valentine’s gift guide and not include a few picks for the kids. We love reading themed books, and The Love Monster happens to be one of the best. The publisher describes it as “a heart-tingling, let’s-cuddle-up-together story about how sometimes, when you least expect it, love finds you.” It’s the cutest.
