Valentine's Day gift guide From couples to best friends, lots of little ideas for every kind of love

Valentine’s Day is that holiday everyone claims to hate, but no one really ignores. It’s the pink elephant in the calendar room: you pretend not to see it, but it’s there, with its hearts, its expectations, and that unspoken question hanging in the air since the beginning of February: “So… what are we doing?” Whether you’re single, happily coupled, in a situationship, or just have a crush (who doesn’t even know you exist), February 14th shows up right on time and involves you anyway. Because it’s not just a holiday for couples. It’s the world day of expectations, unasked questions, and passive-aggressive messages like “you didn’t have to, you know.” Spoiler: you did. So whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a night with your best friend, or a date with yourself (wine included), Valentine’s Day is always an emotional stance. This Valentine’s Day gift guide is for everyone: hopeless romantics, self-aware singles, long-term couples, and best friends who deserve the same level of attention (if not more). No clichés here, no déjà-vu effect of the last-minute flower bouquet, just ideas with personality, irony, and a minimum of taste. Because love has a thousand forms, and none of them should ever be boring.

Valentine’s Day gifts for her

Let’s say it right away: choosing a gift for her isn’t an impossible mission, it’s an art. It takes intuition, a pinch of boldness, and the ability to read between the lines of her desires (or her mental wishlist). And it’s not enough for it to be beautiful. It has to be right. It has to speak her language, respect her style, maybe surprise her a little. Whether she’s a sophisticated romantic, an ironic fashion lover, or a woman who prefers collecting experiences over objects, this selection of Valentine’s Day gifts for her is designed to hit the heart… and make a great impression.

Legato, the new fragrance from Miller Harris’ Stories Collection

If love were a perfume, it would be warm, enveloping, and full of stories. Legato by Miller Harris is all of that at once. This contemporary gourmand fragrance is an olfactory translation of an urban love story, intense and vulnerable, inspired by London nights and the pages of Open Water. Vanilla meets cherry, sandalwood, and musk in a balance that smells like skin, intimacy, and deep connections. It’s the perfect fragrance if you want to say “I’m thinking of you” without words, letting the trail speak for you.

A triangular cashmere scarf by Extreme Cashmere 

Some accessories enter your wardrobe and never leave, because they look simple but do all the work. The triangular cashmere scarf is one of them. Soft, luxurious, and surprisingly versatile, it can be worn a thousand ways: around the neck, at the waist as a belt, or tied under the chin in perfect Babushka-style à la Kendall Jenner. It’s the ideal gift for someone who loves fashion without taking it too seriously, and for anyone who wants to feel wrapped up even on the coldest days. The secret? Choose it in a bold color so it becomes the statement detail of her outfits.

If you really want to impress, give a break from the world. Because if true luxury is time, then a romantic spa experience is the ultimate gift. And no one deserves it more than your partner. Schwarzenstein is a wellness retreat in the mountains of Valle Aurina, with 7,700 m² of spa space, infinity pools, panoramic saunas, silence, steam, and quality time shared with the one you love. A true romantic escape, perfect for disconnecting, reconnecting, and falling in love again (maybe even with the super-fluffy bathrobe).

The lip-shaped bag by Desigual x Nicki Nicole

Irony, pop culture, and a clear message: love, first and foremost, is for yourself. The Desigual lip-shaped bag from the Boys Lie collection is a statement accessory that doesn’t go unnoticed. Red, glossy, intentionally over the top, it’s perfect for anyone who loves to play with fashion and doesn’t take Valentine’s Day too seriously. A gift that brings a smile and completes a look with personality.

A ring by Polello

A piece of jewelry is a silent promise. Polello rings tell stories of love through craftsmanship, care, and uniqueness. Each piece is different, just like every relationship.

Will this coming February 14th be the right occasion to ask the question?

This selection is designed for men who appreciate quality, design, sensory experiences, and the kind of details that improve everyday life without turning it upside down.

A chocolate creation by La Perla di Torino

Chocolate is a classic. But the right one makes all the difference. La Perla di Torino’s artisanal pralines are small edible works of art, perfect to share (or fiercely defend). Filled hearts, delicate colors, intense flavors. A delicious gift that invites sharing, perfect for a no-frills Valentine’s Day. Who said love also (and especially) goes through the palate? Warning: the chocolates may disappear very quickly. If that happens, you can always go on a compulsive shopping spree among pralines, spreads, gianduiotti, pistachio and raspberry bars, cookies, and all the other delicacies created by La Perla di Torino that echo the history of Piedmontese pastry making.

LabSolue 214 Legno di Pepe perfume

Casual enough for everyday life, but with that detail that completely changes the meaning, the Sandro sweatshirt is the perfect compromise between comfort and feeling. Ideal for those who love discreet gestures, who prefer hinting rather than declaring, and who know that even a basic piece, if chosen well, can become a message. Romantic, yes, but never sugary. Exactly how love should be today.

Valentine’s Day gifts for your single friend 

Valentine’s Day isn’t (just) coordinated couples, candlelit dinners, and last-minute red roses. It’s also, more and more, an opportunity to celebrate different but equally essential bonds, like friendship, complicity, emotional independence, and that solid, reliable love that is self-love. Giving a Valentine’s Day gift to your single friend isn’t a fallback—it’s a conscious choice. It means saying “I see you,” “I’m thinking of you,” “you matter even without a +1.” The right gifts, in this case, are the ones that make her smile, that pamper her, that give a small moment of personal pleasure. Ironic, beautiful, empowering, never pitying. Because love has many forms, and love between friends, spoiler, is one of the most enduring.
