While you might hate how consumerist holidays like Valentine's Day can be, sometimes the smallest gesture of affection can be restraining yourself from offering the expected Hallmark card or bouquet. Ahead, we got the creative juices flowing for you with 40 gifts that will show her you're up to speed on the latest niceties...Diptyque? Pink bath salts? A vegan leather bag? "You shouldn't have."
An Hourglass Diffuser
Diptyque, $175
Candle gifts can be the white elephant that keeps on giving...so that's why you give them a Diptyque hourglass diffuser instead. The coveted French brand has released a marble diffuser with the smell of freshly plucked roses—all you have to do is flip the glass over to begin a new diffusion cycle. Voilà.
A Stainless Steel Beer Holder
BottleKeeper, $30
No, it's not a water bottle. Help her retire the koozie from her college days and gift her with this *sophisticated* beer holder—ideal for many Super Bowls to come.
A Lace Bodysuit
Journelle, $129
A floral Italian lace bodysuit that can double for inside the bedroom and out. (Like with a leather jacket and jeans.)
A Pair of Tinies
Poppy Lissiman, $98
Whether or not she's on-board with the tiny sunglasses trend, at least you'll show her you're keeping up with the likes of Bella and Gigi Hadid.
For the Nasty Woman
Stella and Bow, $44
A bracelet that ensures she'll have an accessory for every Women's March to come.
An Expert-Approved Yoga Mat
Lululemon, $48
One of the most highly rated yoga mats for yogis: it's super grippy, small enough to carry in a light bag, and lasts for a long time.
Espadrille-Style Slippers
Desmond & Dempsey, $106
Not your average pair of fluffy or silky slippers, behold an espadrille style from husband-and-wife duo Desmond & Dempsey that comes with furry pink accents (P.S. they're available for monogramming, too).
