WE RECOMMEND…
You can always pick up a sweet treat at the store or a local bakery, but there’s something extra special about baking together! Tackle making some pretty desserts with your loved one with a little help from Claire Saffitz.
Nothing says romance quite like a luxurious soak in one of Soulita’s delicious scented clay baths!
Looking to spice things up? Look no further than this delectable hot sauce (we’re putting it on everything and have no regrets).

If you’re not sure what romantic words to use this Valentine’s Day, let one of the great poets find the words for you!
Calling all plant lovers: how adorable are these whimsical ceramic planters?
While rose and champagne often feel like the natural choices for pouring when it comes to a romantic meal with the love of your life (or your closest friends), we find this orange wine an undeniable game changer.
We love this classic vintage purse! If your loved one is big on repurposing and thrifting—and has a chic sense of style—we recommend grabbing this minibag ASAP.
We are head over heels—no pun intended—for this pair of floral decorated kicks. (Shoes are always a great gift for those who enjoy practical gifts.)

Puzzling has never been prettier than with this 1,000 piece rose themed puzzle.
If your valentine or galentine are the skating type—or looking to get into the sport—this love-themed deck had us thoroughly amused and enamored.
