For the “It’s Still New” Someone

Things may or may not be official, and you don’t want to go overboard. You can’t go wrong with the traditional Valentine’s Day gift of gourmet chocolates or candles. Better yet, combine both for an ultra-romantic evening.

For the “It’s Serious” S.O.

So you’ve been exclusive for a while. Shake up your usual Sunday-brunch routine with a waffle maker. Breakfast in bed, anyone? Or go the sultry route, with a perfume or cologne that shows you know their taste. Plus, they’ll think of you with every spritz.

For the “It’s Forever” Love

This is the real deal. A new suitcase keeps things adventurous – especially when it comes with tickets for a romantic getaway. Not feeling luggage? A luxury timepiece is a testament to your commitment to each other… and to all things sparkly.

For the Also-Single BFF

Platonic love counts, too. Celebrate it with a cheeky throw pillow adorned with a quote or phrase (bonus points if it’s an inside joke). Add an oversized wine glass and you’re ready for a night spent binge-watching together.

For You

Don’t forget to show yourself some love. Set aside a few hours for pampering, and grab an ultra-plush bathrobe. If you really want to treat yourself, scoop up that handbag you’ve been drooling over. Why wait for someone else to buy it for you?
