BLIND LOVE AT FIRST SIP
We’ve all been tempted by the artistry of a beautifully adorned spirits bottle—a gorgeous label is hard to ignore. Blind Barrels strips away that pre-conceived bias of quality with its rare whiskey-tasting adventure subscription. Each month, the gift recipient receives a tasting experience of four unlabeled whiskies from craft distilleries.

GOURMAND GALENTINE’S GIFT
The snif scent gurus have done it again. Created in partnership with Tieghan Gerard of Half Baked Harvest-fame, the gourmand Winter Wander candle is the perfect cozy gift for Galentine’s Day. Even when not lit, it imbues the room with notes of brown sugar, tonka bean, and frosted fir.

FROM WESTPORT
WITH LOVE
A trip to Connecticut’s idyllic coast isn’t complete without a visit to Kerri Rosenthal’s flagship shop in Westport. The artist’s eternal love affair with all things heart-inspired make February gifting a breeze. Give splurgy heart-motif sweats and knits or whimsical works of art, knowing that each piece is ultra-memorable.

SWAP CANDY
FOR COCOA BUTTER
This is the sweetest little quiet luxury, so maybe skip the candy and opt for a gift with major spa ambiance. Eschew fizzy bath bombs and give your friends and loved ones Magnolia’s sumptuous Among the Flowers Flora Bath Melt Set with deeply moisturizing clay, ground flowers, nourishing oils, and cocoa butter.

TOTE-ALLY IN LOVE
Goodies from Olive & Cocoa always include the brand’s signature packaging—an elegant wood crate and satin ribbon. I love this heart-themed tote as the foundation for inspired love-day gifts.
