Even in a typical year, choosing a Valentine’s Gift can be stressful. And let’s face it. The past 11 months have been atypical, at best.
Which is why “home” is the perfect theme for this year’s pandemic-friendly gift list. Our criteria? Anything that makes life easier, cozier, chicer, or just a little more fun.
Coway Airmega 150 Air Purifier
This shoe-box size air purifier is sure-fire to make your shared living space cleaner, fresher, and infinitely more livable. Using a three-stage filtration process, it rids up to a 214-square-foot space of 99.97 percent of particulates. We especially like the Valentine-appropriate “Peony Pink” colorway.
Vankyo Leisure 3 Mini Projector
This highly-rated portable mini projector turns your bedroom or backyard into a cozy and private personal theater. Where better to stream your Valentine’s Day movie-of-choice? (We won’t judge.)
Louis Vuitton Malle Fleurs
Florals for Valentine’s Day? Groundbreaking. This romantic, over-the-top mongram case has deep roots in Louis Vuitton history —it’s a reinterpretation of an iconic piece created in the 1910s. A water-resistant metallic tray and Vuittonite lining mean that flowers, water, or soil can be put in the tray without damaging it.

A natural wonder by any standards. Along with cleaning toxins, this air purifying plant increases productivity, concentration, and memory while reducing stress and boosting mood. An added bonus: It thrives in any kind of lighting.
Bearaby Cotton Napper
Layers and layers of natural, organic cotton make this buttery-soft, weighted blanket almost as good as a hug.

This stone diffuser does more than just scent your home—it looks chic while doing it. Crafted out of matte ceramic, it doubles as a stunningly simple piece of décor. Available in an array of colors, from anything-but-basic black to soft blush.
McKenzie Iridescent Light
Nothing kills a mood quicker than dingy, unflattering lighting. Which is why you want this iridescent glass flush mount—stat. It promises to cast a warm, romantic glow over any room.

You’ve got to love a vase that celebrates the female form. Artist Anna Karlin makes these hand-blown beauties incredibly elegant.
Solo Stove Bonfire
Nothing beats cozying around a fire. At just 20 pounds, this portable bonfire means you can cuddle wherever, whenever. It also keeps socially-distanced visits warm and toasty.
BedJet 3 Climate Comfort
What better gift than a good night’s sleep? This ingenious little climate comfort machine blows hot or cold air onto the bed and over the body, creating “biorhythm sleep sequences” throughout the night. And did we mention it has impeccable credentials? BedJet is the brainchild of the engineer who developed the heating and cooling systems of NASA spacesuits.
“Better Together” Neon Sign
Express your love language in glowing neon. Enough said.
Heart Doormat
This decorative, heart-embellished doormat welcomes loved ones inside, yet keeps dirt and debris out.
Vespa Scooter
Red represents passion—and who wouldn’t be passionate about this shiny, red-hot Primavera 50 CC scooter? It’s a gift that gives back, too. The scooter is a collaboration between Piaggio Group and RED, the global organization founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver benefiting programs to end AIDS. All of a sudden, the garage is the sexiest room in the house.
