There are certain traditions that typically guide what’s gifted on Valentine’s Day. But the best Valentine’s Day gifts are just good gifts in general. Do more than the standard stale roses this year with something special that shows your partner you pay attention to their likes and needs.
Wirsh Home Barista Plus
Bring the barista home (not literally, of course). The Wirsh Home Barista Plus can make an espresso, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, flat white, or americano with ease–and quickly. Water is heated in 30 seconds with customizable options for the brew temperature and volume, and a touch screen on the front keeps controls simple. All that functionality comes with an easy aesthetic. Added bonus: a warm tray at the top to keep a cup warm.
Washable Silk High Rise Pant Set
The luxuries of silk don’t have to come with highly specialized washing care. Made with 100 percent washable Mulberry silk, the short top button-down is flowy with elbow-length sleeves while the high-rise pants have an added side slit. Silky comfort and easy care instructions really can come together.
Personal Foot Heater
Whether it’s for an always chilly office or put in the living room for a quick warm up after a cold outing, this small personal foot heater does the job. An extra long cord means toes and feet can be warmed up with ease and throughout the day with an eight-hour continuous run time. Built-in safety and quality measures like tip-over protection and a carbon filter make this a much better replacement for the clunky space heater that’s probably already in the house (or worse, layers and layers of socks).
Stojo Collapsable Travel Cup
There’s a specific cup that shall not be named that feels like just about everyone owns. And that’s fine. Stojo’s collapsible cup is not that one. In fact, it offers even more utility. Holding 16 ounces, this cup has a leak-proof seal and temperature sleeve, and fits in all standard cup holders. It’s dishwasher-safe and made with the highest safety rated silicone around, with no glues or adhesives. The real selling point? Once the liquid of choice inside is finished, it collapses down and can be easily put away instead of having to be carried around like it’s trying to be a fashion statement.
Omega De Ville Mini Trésor
Omega’s perfectly-sized, 26 mm Mini Trésor watches are elegant from top to bottom. High-clarity diamonds follow the curved sides and highlight the tasteful watch face with a domed, off-white dial. The high-luster stainless steel is flashy while being able to stand up to everyday wear–and the same goes for the scratch-resistant, synthetic sapphire crystal. While it’s hard to go wrong with a leather strap, the Mini Trésor series also has more playful strap options with colorful designs in red, blue, and gray that have matching-color numerals.
Ashtray Set by Seth
You’re going to need something better than the vase that comes with the flowers. Why not make it something that’s a pair? For those who consume, Seth Rogen’s brand Houseplant makes the perfect ashtray that doesn’t have to be hidden away when not in use. This set’s matching flower vase completes the look. Function and form in both cases.
Leather Slip Ons
Sabah (a name that translates from Turkish to “morning,” as in put them on in the morning and wear them all day) uses soft full-grain European leather for the upper and lasting Italian bull leather on the sole for its Baba Leather Slip On Mules. They’re easy and stylish to pop on heading out of the house, and make for great travel shoes regardless if the journey involves going through airport security or long stretches of open road.
Japanese Daily Notebook
Japanese design meets the humble notebook. This daily use notebook uses stationary that’s thin enough to not take up too much room in a bag yet thick enough to keep a favorite fountain pen from bleeding through. On the top of the page, unimposing light gray dates make it easy to mark when the writing is taking place, and it opens flat for uninterrupted use. It might just become the new favorite for everything from daily planning to work to keeping memories.
Caviar Sampler Set
Wine and caviar simply go together. So it makes sense that the perfect caviar sampler set comes from Jordan Vineyard and Winery in Sonoma. The California caviar (Jordan Chef’s Reserve Caviar by Tsar Nicoulai–an award-winning caviar only available through the winery) and four roes (ranging from trout roe to truffle-infused whitefish roe) are included alongside blinis and crème fraîche. Just don’t forget the wine.
Designer Perfume Subscription
There are people who have already found their scent and they’re going to stick with it. But for anyone who is still in the hunt, or who just enjoys switching things up, a subscription that sends small-size perfumes every month is the answer. Scentbird works with luxury legacy fragrance houses as well as up-and-comers to provide a wide range of scents that keeps things fresh.
