HANDCRAFTED PERFUME
One of the most thoughtful gifts you can give is a unique perfume. Scents can evoke memories and emotions, making them an ideal gift for Valentine's Day. A unique fragrance can also be a personal expression of style, making it a fantastic way to show your partner that you understand and appreciate their individuality. We recommend “Dirty Hinoki” by Heretic Perfume. This perfume is a unique blend of lemon, cedar and hinoki, meant to evoke a Japanese forest bath. The combination of these scents makes for a combination of the fresh and the musky, making it the perfect unisex fragrance. For more perfume ideas, we're loving this list of travel-inspired perfumes over at Fathom!
UNUSUAL PUZZLES
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, puzzles are a great way to bond with your partner over a shared activity. Whether you work together to solve one or take turns putting the pieces in place, puzzles area fun and challenging way to spend time together and strengthen your relationship! We especially love this Geode Puzzle from Uncommon Goods. Once complete, this puzzle can function as a beautiful piece of home decor that will add a touch of sophistication to any room. The puzzle is designed to resemble a geode crystal, with a vibrant, multi-colored interior.
Another great idea is to choose a puzzle that depicts a place that's important to your partner. Be it a landmark you visited together or a painting your partner has always loved, puzzles can be an amazing and fun way to show your partner how well you know them!
ART SUPPLIES
If your partner is a fan of art and design, or just loves to be creative, art supplies can be the perfect thoughtful gift! A set of watercolors and some watercolor paper are not only a great way to unwind, but they also offer endless possibilities for expression and creativity. Whether your partner is a seasoned artist or just starting out, quality art supplies will be a valuable addition to their collection and allow them to continue pursuing their passion. Consider your partner’s favorite colors and techniques, and choose items that are tailored to their personal style!
ABSTRACT FORM THROW
We brought back our Abstract Form throw just in time for Valentine’s Day! If your partner loves to snuggle up on the couch, this fun and colorful design could be an amazing choice. This unique design also functions as a stylish piece of home decor, which can elevate the look of any room and be a conversation starter every time your partner has guests over.
UNIQUE CERAMICS AND GLASSWARE
If your partner is design-savvy, surely they would appreciate the elegance and creativity of ceramics and glassware. These gifts are not only beautiful to look at, but are also functional and practical.
From intricate vases and planters to handcrafted mugs and dishes, hand-blown glass vases to delicate stemware, like these Forest & Co Green Spiral Stem Wine Glasses, there are ceramic items and glassware to suit every design aesthetic.
These pieces are not only functional, but are also works of art. Your partner will be able to appreciate the skill and craftsmanship that goes into each piece, making it a meaningful and special gift. We love the Feeling Fruity Planters from Rex Design .
In addition to their functional and aesthetic qualities, ceramics and glassware are also eco-friendly and sustainable. By choosing these materials over plastic or mass-produced items, you are making an environmentally conscious decision that will benefit both your partner and the planet :)
