12 Valentine’s Day Gifts
Block-print pajamas for cuddling up, $138. (Or these long-time favorites.)
A gripping book you can discuss together – like The Storm We Made by Vanessa Chan — or a bookstore date to browse together.
A heart-shaped triple-crème cheese, $28, from Cowgirl Creamery.
The chic bracelet I’ve been spotting all over New York, $144. (You can also add charms.)
The softest faux fur blanket that everyone in our house dives for, $69.
A sprawling bouquet of flowers, $125.
Or calming body oil, $26, with dried flowers and a shoulder rub.
A massage or hydrafacial (I tried one in December and it was incredible).
Goat milk caramels, $13, in flavors like sea salt and vanilla, and maple cream, and brown butter bourbon.
A new tradition to kick off together. Here are ideas from CoJ readers:
“We always do a family taste test. We’ve tried salsas, hot chocolates, cheeses, etc.” — M.
“When I was single, I’d treat myself to a small indulgent date: I’d get a bottle of wine, order pizza or curry, and watch a non-romantic movie (the Mission Impossible series was a reliable bet). One year, I opened a bottle of Prosecco, ate papadums on my couch, and watched The Silence of the Lambs. It was great.” — Kash
“For more than 20 years, my husband got a heart-shaped pizza delivered to my office for lunch, or delivered it himself with our kid. It was brilliant — my co-workers thought it was very romantic, everyone got to enjoy it, and it was an inexpensive yet grand gesture. You have to find a pizza shop to make one, but our favorite place embraced the challenge.” — Katie
“My best friend and I always give each other lipstick for Valentine’s Day. It’s fun to look forward to in the middle of a dreary winter.” — Lexi
“My husband and I make each other Valentine’s Day playlists on Spotify. I get SO MUCH joy out of listening to the playlist my husband made me while I’m at work. It reminds me of when you first start dating someone and you swap musical tastes.” — Nicole
A night at a hotel, no kids allowed.
A love note, $5.50, and a kiss.
