Whether it’s a long-lasting friendship, a newfound relationship, or the special act of self-gifting, we see Valentine’s Day as the ultimate celebration of all things love. We might be biased, but we’re all about a thoughtful gift to show how much we care. To get you into the love story spirit, we’re sharing our ultimate list of gifts suited to stand the test of time for every type of Valentine.

The Wonder Woman

Elevated loungewear is a certain way to anyone’s heart, especially the one looking for a moment to sit back and relax. Dressed up or down (and in two timeless hues), this silk pajama set works double-duty for day or night comfort. Complete the look by adding our new linen slippers into the mix; it’ll be love at first step for the hard-working recipient in need of a refresh.

The Minimalist

Whether you’ve got a less-is-more love or are simply stumped when it comes time to gift, you can’t go wrong with the gift of the perfect soothing scents. Simple yet sophisticated, we love the idea of gifting our favorite candle, detergent, and roll-on perfume (or a set of all of our best-selling candles if you just can’t pick) to the person who appreciates the little details.

The Closet Connoisseur

What to give the one who happens to own every item you already covet? Take this as an opportunity to go outside of your gifting comfort zone for the woman has all of the basics covered. Try handmade Italian shoes in our most luxe variations, or our best-selling cashmere cardigan that fits into any wardrobe. Special yet suited for everyday wear, there’s nothing better than an accessory or a knit that takes the simplest of outfits to the next level.

The gift of a silky slip is the luxe addition to any wardrobe that’s hard not to love–worn alone or under an oversized knit, a form-fitting yet flattering slip is the epitome of effortless style that even the most discerning of women will lust after.

The Hint-Dropper

Whether you’re subtly sending ideas to your very own Valentine or are looking to splurge on yourself (full disclosure: we fully encourage it), we love the special treat of traditional jewelry finds with a stylized touch. Hoops and huggies are an understated heirloom to add to any jewelry lineup: simple, elegant, and entirely timeless.

Gold and silver hoop earrings and small gold studs are arranged on a textured beige fabric, with a sprig of small white flowers in the lower left corner—thoughtful Valentines Day gifts for someone special.
