The best Valentine’s Day gifts feel personal, make someone’s life a little more fun or easier, and are often treats they want but may not make the splurge on for themselves. That said, the stress around finding a thoughtful Valentine's Day gift is real. How do you pick the perfect gift — or at least find something that will make your loved ones (and liked ones) know you picked it with them in mind?
Below are some of my favorite gift ideas (or maybe a little something for yourself!)
OUTFIT Ideas
Sweet ESCAPES
Winter is an ideal time for a last-minute romantic getaway. It’s an escape from the dreary winter stretch of time + from the monotony of the winter weekday. Here are my go-to spots for an easy romantic getaway.

MIAMI
Hotel Recommendation: A buzzy boutique hotel in Miami, Esme is walkable to South Beach + an array of nearby restaurants and bars. Expect vibrant guest rooms with smart TVs, plus a tapas bar + rooftop pool.
TULUM
Hotel Recommendation: A luxe estate outside of Tulum, Hotel Esencia is surrounded by a white sand beach + tropical gardens. With multiple pools, full-service spa + top-notch service, you feel pampered as soon as you set your bags down.
NEW YORK
Hotel Recommendation: A resort in the Catskills, Inness is a modern getaway down a quiet country road. The Scandinavian-Americana blend of styles offers a chic backdrop to the attentive service, pretty views + food sourced from the resort’s organic farm. In warmer months, you’ll enjoy tennis courts, a pool, golf course + walking trails. But winter is a perfect getaway given the off-season prices + cozy factor.
NEW ORLEANS
Hotel Recommendation: Maison de la Luz is a luxury hotel for eccentrics, this NOLA gem is the upscale sister to the neighboring Ace Hotel. Tucked in a walkable neighborhood three minutes from Lafayette Square, the boutique guest house offers a nightly wine hour, brass room keys, standing porcelain tubs + a secret entrance to Bar Marilou.
