It’s that time of year again, when we’re all stumped on what to buy our sweethearts for Valentine’s Day. Whether you are shopping for him, her, or getting something special for the both of you, we’ve got you covered with gift ideas this Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Her
Nothing says “I love you” on Valentine’s Day like chocolate, and we’re here to tell you that there may not be a better way to say it than with Wei of Chocolate’s fair-trade dark chocolates. These bite-sized vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and organic chocolates are infused with blends of herbs and spices designed to balance the body and mind, as well as flower essences from Lotus Wei, which have no scent or flavor but bring a subtle, energetic quality to the chocolate.
The six flavors include Wei Inspired (for awakening possibilities), Wei Joyful (for insight and wisdom), Wei Pure (for joy, peach and inspiration), Wei Relaxed (for better rest and sleep), and two flavors we think are perfect for Valentine’s Day: Wei Gratitude (for generating love and affection), and, of course, Wei Love (for self-love and appreciation).
Wei of Chocolate is also sold at the following SpaFinder Wellness locations: The YinOva Center, Evo Spa, Sparkling Hill Resort and Wellness Centre, Miraval Resort & Spa, Pearl Spa, Plaza Athenee Spa, Sedona’s New Day Spa, The Setai Club & Spa, Montage Laguna Beach, Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, and YeloSpa, as well as many other spa and wellness locations found here.
For the foodie female in your in life, show her you care by signing her up for a spa cooking class. Many spas such as Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona, offer hands-on cooking classes taught by a spa chef who will show the lady in your life some great, healthy recipes, teach practical kitchen skills and techniques, and really foster her love of all-things-culinary. Make it a bonding experience and join her in the class so you can take the knowledge back home and create an amazing Valentine’s Day dinner together!
SpaFinder Wellness features lots of locations that feature hands-on cooking classes; find one near you!
If your sweetheart loves cocktails and beauty, she’s bound to be obsessed with Nailtini. This cocktail-inspired nail collection comes in the trendiest shades and includes must-have items like “Cocktail Napkins” (40 citrus-scented, travel-sized squares soaked in acetone-free polish remover and cuticle conditioner) and “Club Soda Fizz” (a lime-scented, stain-removing soak for your nails that softens cuticles and brightens the nail bed). The collection includes 29 Straight Up Colors, two Mixers (which are shade-altering base coats), and nine Toppers (which offer options like a shine, matte, glitter, or shimmer finish). Grab a “Mini Bar Collection” for your gal, and she’ll revel in mixing nail-cocktails together—sans hangover!
