VALENTINES TO GIVE (AND GET)

BY INGRID SCHMIDT

Fall in love with these twenty crush-worthy Valentines to present to him or her,  to keep or share, in celebration of February 14.

Have a little heart. February 14th is an ode to the full spectrum of love and friendship, so it’s time to play cupid with a little Valentines and Galentines shopping.  Indulge the leading men, ladies and friends in your life with these tokens of affection. 

In the mix are twenty gifts that offer a fresh and elevated twist on the holiday’s signature hearts, flowers and sweets.  While shades of pink and red are perennial Valentine’s Day favorites, blush pink and cherry red (in a range of rich textures) are having a larger fashion moment, as seen on the spring-summer catwalks.  Another excuse to get in the spirit.

So go ahead, spread the love with a heartfelt sentiment. Then don’t forget to spoil yourself with a stylish treasure or two to wear on V-day and beyond.
