Valentine’s Day is around the corner. A day full of love, romance, and heartfelt gifting. But buying Valentine’s Day gifts is actually a minefield. It’s possible to miss the mark, giving in to cliché and being straight-up unoriginal. Of course, the classic options of roses, chocolates, and a big kiss are timeless winners, but we’re thinking outside the box (of chocolates) this year.
To help us, we called on our friends at 24S, who reside in Paris, the most romantic city in the world. They know a thing or two about romance, and their new-season stock is a great place to start looking for Valentine’s Day gifts that your special someone will actually remember. From sexy perfumes to love-inspired hoodies, here are 10 gifts for Valentine’s Day 2022.
Leave no room for doubt this year by giving your loved one this oversized Balenciaga hoodie emblazoned with the only phrase they want to hear on Valentine’s Day.
Successful Valentine’s Day gifts are all about understanding the core principles of the holiday and translating them into something original. This dip-dyed baby pink scarf from Loewe exudes cute energy but is also a foundationally beautiful garment.
Take the cliché and make it your own. A bouquet of roses has been the go-to gift since Valentine’s Day began. This Diptyque candle smells just as good and lasts a lot longer.
This one is all about the big gesture. There’s no way that your Valentine will forget 2022 when they unwrap this Dior Lingot Bag.
Jewelry has been done. It’s a staple gift when it comes to showing your love. But, Le Gramme’s refreshingly industrial take on fine jewelry makes it the ideal alternative to a bracelet that looks like everyone else’s.
It’s soft, warm, red, and purple — this Marni mohair sweater is basically what love feels like but in sweater form.
Personalizing a gift is about as good as it gets on the most romantic day of the year. This JW Anderson Cardholder is decorated with red strawberries that kind of look like love hearts, plus, if you slide a handwritten note into the card section you’ll have just won Valentine’s Day hands down.
Love is all about raising your significant other up, supporting them, and platforming their success. The chunky sole on this pair of McQueen kicks can help out on that front.
The smell of patchouli, incense, tree moss, and cedar presents a suave base for Frederic Malle’s French Lover. It smells like a steamy night in the city of love, actually.
Once again, opting for jewelry that breaks the pre-ordained standards of Valentine’s Day gifts is a key to success this year.
