Whether you need ideas to hint to your partner, want to treat a friend, or simply like to indulge in contemplating pretty stuff, here are a few of my Valentine’s Day friendly picks of the month :

Kisses and lips are indeed a symbol of love;

This DVF Flirty Leather Tuxedo card case, cute and convenient, makes a great gift, for only $58 :

Anything personalized is always a thoughtful idea;

If you won’t go LV 

Anthropologie has this cheaper option :

These adorbs initial mugs are only $8 each, they can be used for coffee, but can also double as a cute mini vase or pencil holder!

I feel like anything for the home says “Valentine’s Day” nicely, as it beautify the nest you’re creating for your love…

Books are always a must, as they, too, are both a great pass time AND a stylish way to dress up any coffee table or bookshelf;

I personally can’t wait to add those to my collection :

Diane Von Furstenberg’s Journey Of A Dress,

and Food Fashion Love, by Fleur Wood.

You can never go wrong with jewelry, of course, wether you go full on broke 😉 with a Cartier Love bracelet (my personal favorite is the “simple” yellow gold one, no diamonds, just plain Love!),

chicly hip with Aurélie Bidermann’s version of a friendship bracelet,

or a charmingly understated symbol.

The opportunity of a private moment will delight too, so don’t be scared to offer a gift card to a favorite spa, hairdresser or massage retreat;

Just make sure you make the “packaging” luxurious :

hide the voucher in a sumptuous bouquet or a profound hand written card

My last advice :

For Valentine’s Day, as for any other occasion-or non occasion, the packaging counts almost as much as the content, so take an extra moment to think it through and impress…
