The Gifts of Love (and Luxury) 😍
Get out your finest reds and pinks, your cheesiest pickup lines, and your cliché date ideas, because it’s that time of the year again boys and girls: Valentine’s Day! Or maybe we should use the more inclusive alternatives: Galentine’s Day or Palentine’s Day. Whatever which way you decide to celebrate February 14th, whether it’s love-theme or anti-love theme (see Jessica Biel’s character from the 2010 film, Valentine’s Day, as inspiration), you can always do it with fun and colorful style, killer gift ideas, and the ultimate excuse to “treat yo-self” or someone you love!
So maybe you’re searching for gift ideas for the lovely lady in your life or your forever gal-pal. Maybe you’re just looking for inspiration for your own date night look based on accessories you already own? Either way, we’re here to present ideas for fun, fashionable, and eco-friendly finds that will either spice up your date night look or score major gifting points to your significant other (gal-pal, girlfriend, soul sister, or otherwise)!
Based on your own style or the style of the lucky gal you’re buying for, there’s something on this list for everyone. We’ve put together some accessory pairings that will surely spike inspiration and absolute gift envy! And the best part: you can find all of these amazing gifts on the luxury resale market (links to the Lux pages below). An added bonus to every gift is a consumer-conscious and sustainable gift, am I right? Take a look at these adorable finds that we just had to feature in the month of love!
THE ULTIMATE GLAM DATE NIGHT PAIRING

FOR THE BOSS WOMAN WHO NEEDS LUXURY AT THE OFFICE
PINK CELINE TOTE & GIVENCHY SILVER AND DIAMOND WATCH
Structure, quality, luxury, and a burst of color is what all great relationships are made of—but also this jaw-dropping Celine hot pink tote.
