February is the month of love and to celebrate, we have the ultimate guide to gifting for Galentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and beyond.
Eats
Midunu Chocolates is bringing the safest, tastiest Valentine’s Day straight to you and your loved ones with their Chocolate Tasting Kit ($96 for 4 kits). The kit allows you to quickly and easily hop onto a Zoom call if you find yourself far away from loved ones this holiday, and experience chocolate like you never have before. Chocolate truffles will be accompanied by a tasting mat, guide, and flavor wheel, to help you identify each and every chocolate you taste. Nights in don’t have to be boring!
Heartfelt Finds
Give the gift of self care this holiday with a helping hand from conscious lifestyle brand TO112. Focusing on a holistic approach to beauty, they offer a range of products, including the Love Yo’Self Gift Bundle ($170), which comes with a Palo Santo candle, hand and body lotion, and a silk pillowcase.
Looking for something small with a lotta heart? Papier‘s Full of Heart Notecard Set ($28 for 10) is the ideal little present for friends, a new fling, or family members. The notecards are also customizable to add more affirmations and is both a Black and woman owned brand, handcrafted by local artisans in Nigeria. You could even buy a set for yourself to write love notes on!
Prayers & Plans is a slow fashion brand prided on local craftsmanship and women empowerment. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for your gal pal, girlfriend or wife, check out their Ella Silk Pyjama Set ($228), which comes with a long sleeve shirt with mother of pearl buttons, and a soft, sheer back, and trousers with hidden pockets, a drawstring waist and sheer panels. Additionally, 5% of the sale of these luxurious pajamas goes to Solar Sister Charity.
Fashionable Favorites
Blair Waldorf has nothing on Eugenia Kim. The chic millinery offers timeless hats, headbands and more for every occasion, but they are upping the ante with some red hot picks for Valentine’s Day. The Ellie in Wine ($165) headband is sure to make a statement, and makes for the perfect gift or date night look accessory.
Naked Cashmere offers insanely comfortable and fashionable finds during any time of year. Right now, however, they have an exclusive LOVE Collection to support Breast Cancer Awareness. Their Love Dip Dye Sweater ($200) is 100% cashmere and comes in a classic pullover crewneck style with delicate embroidery on the front.
