Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: The Best Wellness And Self-Care Essentials For Romantic Getaways

If you’re tired of giving the same old flowers and chocolate for Valentine’s Day, you’re not alone. So why not steer clear of the obvious this holiday, and gift you and your partner – or just yourself, since self-love is the most important relationship of all – something that emphasizes comfort and wellness no matter where you are? Below are 15 products, listed from spendiest to most affordable, that’ll remind you why caring for yourself also means loving yourself.

Four Seasons at Home Cashmere Throw, $949 

This generously-sized throw from the legendary luxury hospitality brand is blended with ultra-fine cashmere and merino wool, comes in three destination-inspired shades (Milanese Cobblestone, Tuscan Macchiato, Sicilian Chestnut), and is crafted in Italy. It’ll come in handy anytime and anywhere you want to feel extra cozy and pampered. 

Offhours Homecoat in Affogato, $295 

At long last: a wildly popular product that lives up to the hype. Based on the belief that feeling comfortable and luxurious can indeed go hand in hand, OffHours offers just one item: its signature Homecoat, a robe-sweatshirt hybrid. Because it’s weighty and substantial – while being impossibly plush – it’s akin to being cocooned in your favorite blanket. Even better? The Homecoat is machine washable, and the handy pockets keep your essentials within reach.

UMA Only Love Kit, $195

This limited-edition quartet isn’t just for celebrating with a partner – it’s great for celebrating self-love, too. The four products are formulated with organic ingredients, and infused with the brand’s signature Pure Love scent. Because Uma is rooted in Ayurvedic principles and aromatherapy, the fragrance doesn’t just smell divine – it helps boost your mood as well.

Pact Cool-Air Percale Sheet Set, $180

From the visionary brand that made sustainable, quality staples from underwear to jumpsuits within reach for everyone comes this new sheet set. As with the brand’s other offerings, it features organic cotton – which uses 81% less water than conventional cotton manufactured in a fair trade factory – and is so cool to the touch you’ll stay comfortable, even as things heat up in bed.

Monos Sevilla Top and Pants, $166

Leave it to hip Candian company that made a name for itself with sleek, reasonably-priced, and highly functional hardside luggage to create everyday clothes that embody the same ethos. As comfy as your favorite sweats but stylish enough to wear while cozying up with someone you love, the Sevilla Top and Pants are no-brainers when it comes to packing for your next romantic getaway.

Sigil Complete Being Smoothing Cream Cleanser and Sigil Body Cleanser and Serum, $155 for both

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so why not to treat every inch with the care it deserves? That’s the thinking behind Sigil’s just-launched Complete Being Smoothing Cream Cleanser and Sigil Body Cleanser and Serum. Both products are packed with ingredients typically found in luxury skincare (think Hyaluronic Acid, Mokate Oil, and Gotu Kola), yet gentle enough for every face and body regardless of age and gender.

Merrell Women’s Antora Sneaker Boot Waterproof, $150

Is your Valentine’s Day getaway taking you somewhere with extreme weather? Then be sure to pack these shoes. A smart and stylish sneaker-boot hybrid, Antoras are incredibly lightweight – they weigh a mere 100 grams – but are so durable even the most extreme snow and rain are no match. In addition, the handy zipper makes slipping them on and off a total breeze.

The Feelist Me-Time Set, $120

This chicly packaged set, which marries the best of nature and science, lets you reap CBD’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits with a simple self-care ritual. First, let yourself soak away stress and tension with the Staycation lavender-vanilla scented bath salts, then follow with a generous application of the Do Not Disturb on damp skin for the best results.

Lord Jones The Full Spectrum Calm Bundle, $117

Don’t be fooled by the pretty packaging of this duo, because both products pack quite a potent punch when it comes to delivering CBD’s calming benefits from the inside out. The full-spectrum tincture delivers quick, soothing relief from everyday stressors, while the rich, yet quick-absorbing body lotion helps soothe even the most dry and irritated skin.

Discover Night Clean Silk Pillowcase, $110

There’s countless reasons to make the switch to silk pillowcases – especially this eco-friendly version made from untreated silk by Discover Night. They can help boost skin hydration, minimize wrinkles, and reduce hair breakage. On top of that, they’re easy to care for (machine wash in cold water and air dry), and even easier to pack because they’re so lightweight. 

Manduka Pro Travel Yoga Mat 2.5mm, $75

Because fitness is important no matter the holiday or occasion, be sure to pack this portable mat. Manufactured in Germany by Manduka, one of the the world’s most respected yoga brands, this one features supportive cushioning, wicks away sweat for great grip, and is a breeze to clean. The lifetime product guarantee also means you can use it for years to come with total peace of mind. 

Consonant Skincare Come+Glow Set, $75 

While this bundle was created in the name of female self-love, it’s just as fun using with someone you care about, too. Inside, you’ll find a Dame Zee Vibrator – masturbation has been proven to lend complexions a healthy flush – 4 HydrExtreme Sheet Masks to get your skin even glowier, and a QR code for The More You O, a podcast to help you make the most of pleasuring yourself.

Susanne Kaufmann Mallow Blossom Bubble Bath, $70

Turn your next bath into a lavish ritual with this multitasking formula from Austrian clean skincare pioneer Susanne Kaufmann. Made with hydrating Mallow Blossom that also shields skin against environmental aggressors and calming lavender, this concentrated bubble bath relaxes both body and mind. The bubbles are satisfyingly rich and foamy, and the luxurious fragrance is an added bonus.

Curie Lovers Kit, $52

Planning a staycation instead of going out? Look no further than this all-natural, romance-boosting set that comes in three crisp scents: white tea, orange neroli, and grapefruit cassis. Add a few drops of the body oil to your bath, or apply directly to skin for a heavenly massage. Continue to turn up the heat by burning the clean-burning soy coconut candle.

Les Deux No. 2 Candle, $45

Spark some romance with this luxurious candle from Nashville-based boutique fragrance brand Les Deux. Featuring notes of Amber, Saffron, and Ambroxan, No. 2 is an especially heady and rich scent – making it the perfect accessory to set the mood for love.
