Best Gifts for Her

I’m a believer that beauty sleep is the best gift, and these festive PJ pants are a Valentine’s Day (and year-round) must-have. Pair them with this matching T-shirt, and you’ll have a cozy, Cupid-approved set. To keep the cozy theme going, tack on a Nodpod Sleep Mask—the weighted feel is super relaxing, and the strapless design won’t dig into your ears. 

Le Creuset is my cooking go-to, and this Mini Round Cocotte couldn’t be cuter if it tried—just look at the heart-shaped knob. Speaking of kitchen essentials, the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 is another standout. It lets her customize the exact temperature of her beverage (between 120°F and 145°F), keeping her drink piping hot for up to 80 minutes.

Best Gifts for Him

I’ve gifted the Leatherology Thin Bifold Wallet in the past, and it’s always a hit. Choose from one of 10 finishes and add his initials for an extra-personal touch. The Beast Mini 600 Blender is another one of my must-haves. It’s portable to take on the go but powerful enough for daily use.

If you have a getaway in the books, travel essentials make great gifts. He’ll never go on another trip without the Samsonite Paralux Weekender Duffel on his shoulder—it’s spacious, comfortable to hold, and has a separate bottom compartment to store shoes and dirty clothes. Coupled with this Calpak Fit Hanging Dopp Kit for his toiletries, he’ll be vacation-ready.

Best Gifts for Best Friends

Galentines deserve gifts, too. I never leave the house without my Owala Water Bottle, and the pink-red version makes a great gift they’ll actually use 24/7. If they’re motivated to journal more in the new year, the Papier Full of Heart Hardcover Plain Notebook is a great starting point. You can choose the binding, color, and whether the paper is blank or lined. 

As someone who’s prone to losing jewelry, I believe you can never have enough ring dishes and this Pottery Barn Red Heart Bowl will look great on any bedroom dresser. For something more personalized, I’m obsessed with the Macorner Custom Bestie Photo Trinket Tray—upload your favorite photo, add a custom quote, and you have a permanent keepsake your best friend will be proud to display on their nightstand.

Best Gifts for Couples

When you’re gifting for a couple, you’ll want a gift that both parties will enjoy. I gave my parents the Aura Carver Smart Digital Picture Frame, and it’s since become their prized possession. It lets them add a carousel of photos and videos right from their smartphone, making it the perfect conversation piece. 

The Pure Enrichment PureBliss Luxury Towel Warmer is the best towel warmer we’ve ever tested—it’s compact, easy to use, and turned our tester’s bathroom into an instant spa. 

I’m a bit of a bedding snob, and the Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set is my go-to set. The bamboo viscose is soft yet cooling—even for a hot sleeper like me. It goes immediately back on my bed on laundry day. I’m also obsessed with the Lola Blanket; it’s not only my favorite, but also one of Oprah’s Favorite Things. The weighted design gives just the right amount of pressure, and it’s made from some of the softest fabric I’ve ever felt.
