Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Valentine's Day is so close you can almost touch it, and so begins the hunt for the perfect gift. Now, it doesn't matter if you're single, spoken for, or anywhere in between—you deserve to celebrate the holiday of love with a little treat. But where to start?
Millions of people fall into the rut of cliché gifts: a box of chocolates, roses, or (dare I say it?) a candle. However, as someone whose job is to shop, I'm a firm believer in practical gifts. Who doesn't love a cashmere sweater they can wear for years to come or a personalized gold bracelet? Keep scrolling for the 30 Valentine's Day gifts I recommend taking to checkout.
This is one fragrance that checks every single box—for Valentine's Day and beyond. It's fresh and tender without being overpowering, like a bouquet of newly blossomed flowers. Prepare to fall in love with this delightful and surprising scent.
