Some people are big fans of Valentine’s Day, some people aren’t even aware it’s happening until they wake up and read the headlines. If you’re the latter - relax - we have gift ideas for all manner of “relationship,” all price points, and all readily and locally available.
1. Fur Scrunchie, Shoes N’ More, $25
Stand back, lover. This one’s not for you. A fur hair accessory is from a friend and says, “You may not have a +1, but you have me!”
2. PHUNKEE TREE No Touch Tool Keychain, Shoes N' More, $25
Emotionally stunted? We got your back. This COVID tool enables them to press public buttons without touching them. A gift of one shows concern for his/her health and well-being while not revealing any real emotion. Or does it? They won’t know and you certainly won’t tell them any time soon.
3. LOVED Scarf, Anthropology, $118
You’re happily in love and you’re practical: it’s cold, they need a scarf. That it can double as a mask makes it even more practical, which you think is a big bonus. Plus it’s designed by Westport’s Kerri Rosenthal!
4. Champion Vintage Wash Oversized Hoodie and Sweatpants, $125, Urban Outfitters
Nothing says “lover” more than an oversized sweatsuit… okay, maybe not. But it’s something they’ll actually wear.
5. 3 Level Jewelry Roll, Savvy + Grace, $38.95
Ambivalent? Short on cash? It’s not jewelry, but it bears the promise of jewelry… someday. At any rate, it gets you off the hook this year.
6. 6.6 lb Jar of Nutella, Rye Ridge Deli, $50
Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes yes.
7. Simon G Modern Enchantment Earrings, Lenox Jewelers, $5,940
If all else fails, throw money at it.
8. Crystal Heart Mask, West, $20
No, this isn’t a gift. It’s for you, so you look informed and enthusiastic about cupid’s annual semi-holiday. Take every opportunity you can to celebrate life.
