Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or not quite sure, Valentine’s Day is really about celebrating love of all shapes, sizes, and kinds.
Heck, we’re so keen to profess our love and appreciation for each other that there’s even a new day to celebrate just your gal pals — Galentine’s Day (and this is the year it’s supposedly really going to take off). But forget just flowers, chocolates, and a last-minute card.
Rebecca Tay discovers five stylish gift ideas for your special someone — or maybe yourself.
Searching for a gift for the ultimate practical Peggy? This pair of Hunter Original Tall Gloss rain boots may be just what you’ve been, er, hunting for. Ideal for our ultra-wet West Coast weather, they’re also pretty darned cute in this fire engine red hue. Pull them on and puddle-jump to your heart’s content.

You already know Omega for its collection of watches coveted the world over, now the company has released a collection of high-quality specs in partnership with Marcolin Eyewear in Italy. There’s a kitschy gold, round pair; tortoiseshell-trimmed aviators; and these classic, simple black frames with a touch of Valentine’s appropriate red on the inner rim.

If it were entirely up to us, you’d never need an excuse for a new dress. But if you’re looking for a reason to buy this Amala dress, let Valentine’s be it. With its sweetheart neckline, ruffle-detailed sleeves, wrap skirt silhouette and mini length, there’s no denying it’s the ultimate date night dress.

Despite the fact we’ve (finally) managed to move on from pink and red (and chocolates and flowers) being the perennial symbols of Valentine’s Day, there’s no denying the beauty of a pretty clutch like this Swarovski crystal-embellished Broche Vivier satin envelope bag by French designer Roger Vivier. Team with jeans and a lightweight cashmere knit to add unexpected elegance to an everyday look.
