I’m a firm believer that a great gift can say what words sometimes can’t. Thoughtfully chosen, beautifully made, and impossible not to love — that’s always the goal. With Valentine’s Day approaching, consider this your shortcut to gifting done right.
No matter how long you’ve been together, I’ve rounded up five Valentine’s Day gift ideas at varying price points. It’s an easy, elevated lineup sure to make anyone swoon.
1. Chocolates From Stick With Me Sweets
I love turning a classic romantic gesture into an unforgettable experience. These truffles from a New York favorite of mine, Stick With Me Sweets, are not only hand-painted works of art, but the taste will blow you away, too (and they ship nationwide). Each hand-painted and made by skilled chocolatiers, their rich, decadent flavors — like sea salt caramel and pecan praline — become an instant, thoughtful symbol of affection that’s easy on the eyes. The artisanal craftsmanship and premium ingredients elevate this from a simple box of candy to a meaningful expression of love and devotion.
2. Fuze House Pilates Class
There’s something inherently sexy about supporting each other through the challenge of a pilates session — because, let’s face it, sweating side by side is intimate. And admit it, gentlemen, those controlled pilates moves are way harder than they look, so don’t be surprised if you’re the one saying “ouch” while being awestruck by your partner’s grace under pressure. It’s a gift of shared effort and endorphins that’ll have you both feeling accomplished, connected, and maybe already planning your next class together.
3. Reflekt Quad
I’ve said it (more than) once, and I’ll say it again: giving the gift of luxurious skincare says “you deserve to pamper yourself,” and that speaks volumes. This complete set includes everything your partner could need to feel as good as they look in four simple yet powerful steps. Not to mention it’s the kind of present that both partners can enjoy — win-win. Oh, and our Restorative Lip Balm is the perfect finishing touch to your Valentine’s Day gift, whether you pair it with The Quad or choose another gift from the list.
4. Romantic Dinner Date
A romantic dinner date is a foolproof option, and restaurants like Max & Helen’s in Los Angeles or Raoul’s in New York will make it a memory that’ll last well after your reservation ends. At Max & Helen’s, you can channel the cozy, effortlessly cool vibe of a classic New York diner without leaving Los Angeles. Executive chef Nancy Silverton turns simple, soulful food into something crave-worthy and comforting. Yes, I very much encourage breakfast for dinner if you go! On the opposite coast, Raoul’s remains near and dear to my heart. Think timeless French bistro, dim lights, and the best steak you’ll ever have — seriously, I’ve never had a bad meal here. Cap it off with a tarot card reading upstairs, reached by a narrow, winding staircase, and it’ll be a dinner straight out of a movie.
5. Relaxing Getaway at Blackberry Farm
Turn quality time together into a breathtakingly beautiful experience you’ll both treasure forever. Set on a sprawling 4,200-acre estate in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Blackberry Farm blends luxury, southern hospitality, and natural serenity into a picture-perfect escape. It’s been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember! Trust me when I say, you and your partner will fall deeper in love with the help of cozy morning mountain views, fireside cocktails, farm-to-table cuisine, and intimate moments that feel like they were designed for just the two of you.
