Valentine’s Day 2021: Home Is Where The Heart Is

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.

This shoe-box size air purifier is sure-fire to make your shared living space cleaner, fresher, and infinitely more livable.

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.

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.

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.
