No matter what your relationship status is,  Valentine's Day is worth celebrating. This year, think about going beyond the bouquet. This roundup of romantic gifts is just for the two of you. You'll find something for a romantic night at home that might involve cooking, caviar or a cocktail. There's fragrance for lovers, pillows that promise, and a luxurious escape for mind, body, and soul. Scroll down and shop in the name of love.


Remedy Place: A Social Self-Care Staycation For Two
Here's a gift that is good for your mind, body, and soul. It's an escape for two that promises to offset the stresses of life, and reconnect the two of you. With services like: hyperbaric oxygen chambers, coached breathwork ice bath classes, and private suites where you can enjoy IV drips, private infrared saunas, or lymphatic compression suits, this is a gift that keeps on 
giving. Read more of the romantic details at...

Muse Eyes Crystal Glasses
Gift he or she with these chic cocktail glasses. Present them with a note that says: My eyes adore you." 

7 Lovers Eau de Parfum Travel Set
The name itself offers thoughts of romance. Created by former Vogue Paris editor, Carine Rothfeld. This set charts her travels to the world's most romantic cities. Each of the seven scents has a distinct personality and unique character, just like her (or your own) fictional paramours. All of the romantic details are wrapped in a lovely leather case.

Thomas Keller's Siberian Baerii Caviar
 One of my favorite things in life. For $139 with Free Shipping, you can impress and indulge your sweetheart with this guilty pleasure.

Smythson Bees Knees Journal
Take note. This is for hopeless romantics. He or she will be reminded daily just what you thought of them this Valentine's Day. It's old school cool for modern men or women.

Date Night At Home Wine Tasting Experience
Inside each box, you'll find 3 carefully crafted glass tubes, carrying a world class pour of exquisite wine, including two exotic reds, and a single crisp white from exceptional European vineyards. There is a box for each of you. Cheers to love.

Kisses Loung Set & Boxers
Not all couples are black lace and garters. If love and kisses in pima comfortable cotton is more your love language, these are a fun idea.

Table For Two
Hot off the presses this month. Now every meal can be romantic with this recipe book made for two. Cook together or treat each other. 

Patricia Altschul Tonight/Not Tonight Pillow
The Grand Dame of Southern Charm really does create pillows. This one is both fun and stylish. It reverses from "tonight" to the words "not tonight."
This gift just keeps it real.

Washable Silk Bedding
With a motto of "Good In Bed," Lunya is a fabulous company that designs with only the finest of fabrics, to include silk. This is a splurge gift for the two of you, but a good night's sleep is priceless. While you are there, pick up some washable silk PJ'S for both of you. 

Lelo Flickering Touch Massage Candle
Burning love. If you are staying in, why not make it a spa day or night? This massage candle was voted as the best by Oprah Magazine.  Pick your favorite of 3 scents. I'll take the Vanilla Cream De Cacao. After burning, the candle turns into the most wonderful massage oil. This little candle might be the best Valentine's gift of all for less than $25.

The Favourite Eau de Parfum,
Let her know that she is your fave! British brand Penhaligon, calls this a fragrance of great delicacy that's also sweet and sensual. It captures the sophistication of a Duchess. Is that hint that royalty wore this? It's beautifully presented and something different from the same ol' thing.

Byredo Mister Marvelous
Feed his ego with this fresh scent.  He will just love the name. The scent is without gender and it's full of gestures that surprise. You'll notice spicy notes of black amber, fresh mandarin leaves, bamboo and green lavender. Yummy. But really, this fragrance is all about the name. It also has a cult following.

Level Up Your Look With A Novelty Cardigan

Sweaters and winter go arm in arm (or hand in hand). One can never own too many. But how many "novelty cardigans" do you own? Vogue says that it is a trend this season. They can easily take your winter wardrobe to the next level by dressing anything you pair with them up, up, up! Here's eight standout styles that make a statement.

Maeve Cropped Floral Cardigan
Just the thing to wear over your little black dress! One size fits all, plus it is on sale for under $100.

Alexander McQueen Peplum Sweater
One of the loveliest sweaters I have ever come across. It is also one of the most expensive styles (it figures). But I just had to share this beauty with you, as it is exceptional. And besides, even if not in the budget, I love to look at beautiful clothing. Don't you?

Leslie Fringe Long Cardigan
It's hard to pass up fab fringe especially at this price (Under $75 ). Also available in cream.
Textured Cardi
This cardigan keeps popping up for me. I think I have featured it before, but it bears repeating. The whole look is so good!
Anthropologie

L'Agence Maddy Cardi
This brand always elevates each piece they design. A haute houndstooth pattern never goes out of style. I love the gold buttons and slightly padded shoulders. 

Hook & Eye Cashmere Cardigan
A cashmere classic with a twist. The hook and eye closure looks totally different when worn open or closed.

Rose Garden Intarsia Cardigan
Add a huge pop of color with Kate's floral frock. It will be good now layered under a coat or wrap. And come spring, you will wear it alone.

Pearl Embellished Cardigan
These are not your Mother's pearls. I think they are better. Certainly more fun. And though it is not a long sweater, it is important to know that the model is 5'8" and wearing an extra small. So if you order your size, it shouldn't be this cropped

Relaxed Asymmetric Buttoned Cardigan
A fab find of a very fashionable friend of mine. I understand this style was an instant sellout, and now is back in stock. It's quite chic in a relaxed way. Love it. You might love the $159 price.
