16 of the Best Valentine’s Day Gifts If You Want to Splurge a Little
published about 1 hour ago
Valentine’s Day is the day to tell someone how much you love them — whether that’s through a thoughtful card, a budget-friendly gift , or a super splurge-y present.
Today, let’s talk about that last category: splurges. We know plenty of couples who love to go all out on each other — couples who love to spoil each other this time of year, with “bucket list” items that maybe they wouldn’t usually buy. Things that will last forever (like a super-expensive, but superbly awesome knife), or things that are more finite, but are sure to be appreciated (like great olive oil).
If you’re part of one of these couples, here are 16 gifts that’ll make someone’s Valentine’s Day … if you’re able/looking to splurge a bit.
Hedley & Bennett makes some of our favorite aprons. (Their aprons have adjustable neck loops for the best fit possible and multiple pockets!) We love this tie dye print, but, really, you can’t go wrong with any of them.
If your loved one has been coveting a Dutch oven, perhaps you can treat them to one in Le Creuset’s newest color, Agave . It comes in 5 1/2- and 7 1/4-quart sizes and is just oh-so dreamy.
These are some of the prettiest trivets we’ve ever seen. They’re also sustainable and made from recycled bits of rubber! This set includes an 8- and 6-inch trivet. We like the idea of including some sort of note, letting your loved one know that you think they're hot stuff.
Fancy olive oil might fall into the category of things your SO would appreciate but might not think to buy for themselves. Brightland makes some of our favorite olive oil that's best for finishing dishes or dressing salads.
This is one of our favorite pie dishes , and for good reason: It bakes and browns evenly, is durable, and has the prettiest ruffled edge. For the baker in your life, this is a must.
The Great Jones Hot Dish is ridiculously amazing . It has wide, looped handles that make it super easy to pick up and move into and out of the oven. Plus, it has a fun retro print that comes in blue, yellow, or green.
This gift comes with a jar of tahini, three jars of different spice blends (including everything bagel!), two types of halva, and an adorable tote bag. It’s for someone you love a halva lot.
This is like a sports car of knives. It’s sleek; comfortable to hold; and slices, minces, and dices like an absolute dream. It’s a lifetime knife: Meaning that if it’s treated right, it’ll last forever. Just like your relationship! Aw.
Carbon steel doesn’t get nearly as much love as cast iron, but it’s a pretty perfect all-purpose pan. It becomes more nonstick the more it's used, so it'll get better and better over time. Also just like your relationship!
This is a very splurge-y splurge, but (if it’s in your budget) it's absolutely worth it. It has a built-in grinder and water heater and a milk frother, among other features. It’s a total pro at pulling espresso shots and will have your gift recipient like, “Is this my kitchen or is it a coffee shop?”
A box with 16 snacks? A box with 16 snacks! Give the gift of beer and caramel pretzel nuggets, spicy cheddar coins, triple ginger cookies, and so much more.
If they’ve been saying they want an air fryer , this model by Philips is a top-notch pick. It has an intuitive interface and cooks french fries, fish , and even cookies like a dream.
You can’t go wrong with a KitchenAid stand mixer as a present. It’ll last for years, comes in so many fun colors, and is a baking (and cooking!) essential. Enough said? Enough said.
Estelle Colored Glass is a Black-owned company and makes the most stunning wine glasses. They’re available here in mint green, rose, and cobalt blue. At about $44 per glass, they’re definitely not cheap, but they are totally gift-worthy and will make anyone who gets them extremely happy. Cheers to that!
We love the idea of gifting someone a blanket with a family recipe stitched onto it (instead of a love letter). Plus, it can be done in your own (or Mom’s, Dad’s, or Grandma’s!) handwriting.
An actual bucket of Maldon sea salt might not cost a ton, but it is pretty extra. The sheer size of it (three pounds!) will spark joy. Of course, this is also the best finishing salt around. Tell your partner that you're not salty about being together.
