Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
01. Jennifer Behr Harley Earrings | A gorgeous pair of glistening crystal earrings by designer Jennifer Behr. They feature double heart drops with halos of sparkling crystals. They’re fabulous for Valentine’s Day and every day thereafter!
02. Roger Vivier Jewel Buckle Mini Bag | This pink velvet bag by Paris-based Roger Vivier might be small, but it’s packed with luxe details. Soft velvet, a satin interior, leather embellishments, a crystal-embedded metal handle, and the atelier’s signature jewel buckle make this bag a memorable gift for any fashion enthusiast.
03. Markarian Sequined Gingham Midi Dress | I fell hard for this classic and feminine dress I discovered on Over the Moon. I love the soft pink hue, gingham pattern, and subtle glisten of this sequined dress. It features ribbon-tie straps, a corseted bodice, and a low-cut back. So elegant and playful!
04. “Love Poems” by Pablo Neruda | I purchased a copy of this book while visiting Shakespeare & Company in Paris. It’s been a favorite on my shelf ever since. Featuring poems by the Chilean, Nobel Prize-winning Pablo Neruda, it’s filled with passion and lyrical romance.
05. Penhaligon’s The Favorite Eau de Parfum | This heritage perfume house has been cherished by London society and beyond since 1870. This bottle of The Favorite comes in a classic Valentine’s palette and holds notes of iris, sandalwood, and musk. It gives “lady of an English manor” vibes!
06. Taschen Book of Flowers by Pierre-Joseph Redouté | I’m a massive fan of Redouté’s delicate botanical drawings and paintings. This book published by Taschen is filled with the artists’ beloved works. It’s also available in this updated version. It makes a perfect alternative to traditional gifts of flowers.
07. Chanel Beauty Favorites | The classic French brand has a wonderful array of beauty products that make perfect little gifts. Among my favorites: Rouge Allure Luminous Lip Color in Pirate, Le Vernis Nail Color in Pirate, and Ombre Première Laque Liquid Eyeshadow in Rayon.
08. Roses Diptyque Candle | Nearly all my gift guides feature Diptyque products, and I’m unashamed. I’m a forever-fan of their luxurious and refined line of products. As one of their classic bestsellers, this Rose candle has lovely fragrant notes of rose bushes in the summertime.
09. Cocktail Napkins | This set of sweet little napkins was designed by London-based artist Luke Edward Hall in collaboration with The Royal Academy of Arts. Inspired by the archives of the academy, they bring a spirit of playfulness to cocktail hour.
10. Fleur du Mal Feather Sleeve Robe. This luxurious and sensual silk robe features a trim of ostrich feather on the sleeves. Designed by lingerie brand Fleur du Mal—named after Charles Baudelaire’s classic collection of poetry—this silk robe lives up to its poetic origins.
11. Strawberry & Cream Chocolate Truffles | This box of truffles by Charbonnel et Walker look absolutely delightful. With a strawberry cream filling, a dusting of icing sugar, and a bold red box, these chocolates would make a delicious gift.
12. Opera Crystal Champagne Glasses | This set of champagne glasses from John Lewis are stunning. They’re sure to elevate any evening soirée or cocktail hour. Can be paired perfectly with no. 15 on the list.
13. Ines Pump in Wine Velvet. A gorgeous pair of velvet pumps in a rich shade of burgundy. Sleek and chic, they can be dressed up or down to add a taste of refined luxury to any ensemble.
14. Ladurée Pampering Hamper | A beautifully-curated gift box including Maison Ladurée favorites: macarons, strawberry jam, chocolates, and Marie Antoinette tea. It’s all wrapped up elegantly in a pink Napoleon III box.
