Count the ways to show your love
Whether you’re ready or not, it’s almost the most romantic day of the year again. As February 14 draws closer, it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to show the object of your affections how much you care. If your Valentine is a warm receiver of gifts — and, really, who isn’t? — we’re here to help with a round-up of the best presents, categorized by interests.
Of course, the credit is all yours.
FOR THE FASHION AFICIONADO
It doesn’t matter how well you think you know your stylish Valentine —size-wise, buying clothing is always going to be a slightly risky gift. A statement accessory or handbag, on the other hand, is always going to be a hit. Show them you speak their language by opting for a so-now silhouette, color, or brand.
FOR THE BEAUTY-OBSESSED
Beauty fans can never have too much makeup, skincare, or fragrance in their life — the joy, after all, comes in the evolving journey of testing out (and critically reviewing) scents, formulations, and packaging they haven’t tried before. Surprise them with a treat not yet in their bathroom cabinet and you’ll put love hearts in their eyes.
FOR THE TREASURE COLLECTOR
If your Valentine has a penchant for timeless pieces over seasonal trends, an heirloom-worthy timepiece or jewelry piece is going to be (very!) well-received. Whether an elegant watch or a piece of diamond-speckled jewelry, these “forever” pieces will set their hearts aflutter both now and for decades to come.
FOR THE GOURMAND
A nice bottle of wine or champagne, or a box of luxurious, beautifully packaged chocolates might not win the prize for World’s Most Innovative Valentine’s Day Gift, but it’s certain to light up the eyes (and taste buds) of your beloved. If you’re lucky, they might share some with you...
