Valentine’s Day Gifts That Won’t Feel Tired After a Week

Of all the terrible, consumer-centric holidays on the calendar, Valentine’s Day is the undisputed champ for worst and most useless gifts. Teddy bears, a dozen red roses, balloons, and other last-minute purchases representing an antiquated view of what love should be aren’t cutting it anymore. Let’s give our loved ones—in whatever form they take—lavish items that won’t fade come February 15. Here, some of our favorites, including accessories and jewelry they can wear year-round, subscriptions to natural wine purveyors, and the age-old favorite, chocolate—a classic V-day gift still acceptable and welcomed by all who receive it.
