12 Super Thoughtful Valentine's Day Gifts... That Will Also Look Great in Your Home

From blankets and bathrobes to cutesy mugs and fancy checkers sets, these are the gifts to give this Valentine's Day.

By Katie Leahy

There are two types of people out there when February rolls around — those who unabashedly love Valentine’s Day, and those who have a real beef with Cupid. Personally, I fall into the latter category. Valentine's Day has historically stressed me out, and I have come to realize my dislike stems mostly from the pressure of finding that perfect gift that says “I love you” without, well, actually having “I love you” printed all over it with red hearts and glitter. 

But here's the thing, friends. Whether we like it or not, Valentine's Day is on the horizon, which means it’s time to start thinking of something special for your sweetie. This year, let's all agree to ditch the old standby go-to gifts (no more roses! no more chocolates!). Instead let's give the gift of sumptuous sheets that keep our loved ones sleeping in luxury for way longer than one silly holiday, or a beautiful candle that will remind them of your relationship every time they light it, or an interactive cocktail subscription that will have you and your boo toasting each other all year long. From the gamer to the cook to the spa-lover, these gifts are so thoughtful that they'll win you major brownie points in the love category this year.

Brooklinen Luxe Core Sheet Set

Nothing says luxury quite like a new set of high-end, super soft sheets. And let me tell you, that's exactly what these puppies are. The ultimate gift of comfort for someone you love, Brooklinen's Luxe Core sheets are 480 thread count, are made with 100 percent long-staple cotton, and are chemical-free. The best part? You can take credit for your loved one's sleep from now on!


Brooklinen Robe 

Spoil your Valentine with this ultra-luxe bathrobe that rivals any you'd find in a fancy spa. Made of 100 percent Turkish cotton, this one comes in three calming hues and is washed in enzymes for instant soft comfort. What we love is how incredibly thick it is and the fact that it's crazy absorbent.


Textured Jorja Throw Blanket

Snuggle up with your love this V-Day under this buttery soft microfiber blanket that is a must for every couch in America. The ultra easy-care fabric is machine washable and comes in a variety of colors.


American Cocktail Club

Kick off Valentine’s Day with a cheers to your love with this cocktail subscription by Cratejoy. The monthly box has two levels to choose from: “Everything But The Booze Box,” which includes everything to make four cocktails minus the alcohol, or the “Everything Box,” which include the alcohol in addition to the fixings for four. All the mixers are low sugar and include all natural juices.


Sudsy

Treat your love to a spa day every month with Cratejoy’s Sudsy subscription. Comprised of all natural and organic products, the monthly box includes a variety of bath and skincare items, like soaps, bath bomb, scrubs, loofahs, and more.

The Heart Cocotte
