Call Me Cupid: 31 Unexpected Valentine's Day Gifts I'd Give Instead of Flowers
One of the things I love about living in NYC is the way it celebrates every holiday, and there's nothing sweeter than Valentine's Day in the city. Walk on any given street, and you'll find heart-shaped banners in windows, bakeries with red and pink treats, and local flower vendors with even more roses than usual. These special touches serve as a reminder to celebrate the many different types of love in your life—and I've got the gifts that will help you do that. Below, you'll find my curation of Valentine's Day gifts, including designer accessories, dog sweaters, a Jane Austen book set, and the best hand creams you will ever smell. And while I adore traditional presents like flowers and chocolates, I think these unexpected items are just what you need. Keep scrolling to shop my top 30 Valentine's Day gifts for 2024.
