FOR HER

WOMEN’S FASHION & ACCESSORIES

For her, gifts that double as daily “love you’s” mean the most. Think Givenchy’s sleek leather Pinch Me tote that will never leave her side paired with Stella McCartney’s heart-shaped bag charm that says it all. Your favorite cardigan she loves to steal? Surprise her with one she’ll adore even more, like Thom Browne’s borrowed-from-the-boys rendition in Valentine red.

FOR HIM

MEN’S FASHION & ACCESSORIES

For him, the colors of the day can be decidedly functional in Valentine versions of his favorite things. Loro Piana updates his go-to work sweater with punchy pink cashmere  for the holiday, while Porsche Design lets him in on your grand weekend plans (spending Sweetheart’s Day together on an impromptu getaway).

SWEET INDULGENCES

BEAUTY & FRAGRANCE

Trade the traditional bouquet for a floral delight that lasts: the flickering glow of Santa Maria Novella’s luxe Rosa candle, the forever flower atop Monique Lhuillier’s Dolce oil diffuser, or Guerlain’s velvety lipstick in a denim flower case.

THE GRAND SENTIMENTS

FINE JEWELRY & TIMEPIECES

It’s a day to dazzle, so why not say “I love you” in sparkling gemstones or a flash of gold? For your forever style icon, look to Piaget’s retro-inspired Shapes of Extraleganza ring for that wow-factor they wear so well. Or, consider a statement timepiece in a Valentine hue, like Chopard’s powder pink Happy Sport Watch or the Omega Speedmaster 57 in deep burgundy.

DATE NIGHT IN

HOME

If their favorite table is yours, style it accordingly. Bring the romance with Baccarat’s Harcourt glass candle and Sur La Table’s shimmering heart-shaped plates. The perfect encore to your home-cooked Valentine’s Day dinner? A Cupid-approved cake with a little help from Crate & Barrel.
