5 Valentine’s Day Gifts Both of You Will Enjoy (and one just for the ladies!)

With so many gifts out there for him or for her, we thought we’d take this year’s holiday of love to celebrate just that with “gifts for us” – products that any couple can enjoy together. Awaken your senses together and give yourselves an opportunity to relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect on Valentine’s Day and beyond!

One for You, One for Your Valentine
Here’s a great idea: Let Malin + Goetz choose your fragrance with their special Valentine’s Day fragrance pairings for men and women. While all scents are unisex, the line pairs feminine scents with masculine ones to achieve a balance. We saw hearts once we tried the Petitgrain Tonic and Synthesized Geranium Leaf combo. A modern yet classic masculine scent, Petitgrain Tonic has top notes of bergamot and petit grain, and middle notes of lavender. The Geranium Leaf is a beautifully fresh green scent with green apple, cyclamen, geranium, and coriander. Combine the two for a fetching third fragrance! ($48 each, malinandgoetz.com)

Bathe, Massage, and Moisturize

Since nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day like roses, this bath, massage, and moisturizing oil product fits the bill with plenty of organic rose oil, which promotes healing and softening of the skin. A 3-in-1 organic body product,Suki Body Delicate Hydrating Oil is perfect to use on Valentine’s Day, and better yet, you both can enjoy it! Organic chamomile extract will soothe and calm whether you’re taking a romantic bath or exchanging sensual massages with your sweetie. ($24.95, sukiskincare.com)

Share Your Soap
Sometimes there’s nothing like wearing your boyfriend’s t-shirts and sweaters, and if you’re anything like me, bath products with a masculine touch are sometimes a refreshing change, too. To stop stealing your man’s wholesomely gritty soap, gift the two of you something from Level Naturals’ 100% vegan line of bath products – androgynous packaging, and unisex scents, these products are suitable for both men and women. Try the Amber Sandalwood Bar, which is floral and musky, all at the same time, or for a little more manliness, the Active Bar. You can also wake your valentine up with the Shower Bombs, full of menthol and eucalyptus, and they’ll be energized and ready to go. We adore the whole line and how eco-aware this lovely company is! (Soaps: $10, Shower Bombs: $8/box of four, levelnaturals.com)

For a Romantic Night In
Baroness von Neumann Modena Candle: This luxurious candle comes in a beautiful gift box suitable for a man or a woman. The Modena scent features orange blossom and lemon leaf, which we were pleasantly surprised to find a little musky with a soft powdery scent to round it out, making it perfect for men weary of frilly floral scents, and for the women who prefer something in between. ($38.50, baronessmonicavonneumann.com)

Tocca Giulietta Candle: Behind the Giulietta scented candle is a love story, the perfect backdrop for a Valentine’s Day gift. Named after Giulietta Masina, famed Italian director Federico Fellini’s wife, the scent was inspired by their love story and is reminiscent of their trips to Corsica where the two dreamt up the director’s visionary tales. With scents of Bulgarian rose, ylang ylang, green apple, and pink tulips, dream up your own love story on Valentine’s Day in the Giulietta candlelight! Tocca is celebrating love by offering 15% off through Valentine’s Day! ($36, tocca.com)

Pucker Up!
We had to include one little extra, just for the ladies, and at such an affordable price, you can’t go wrong. What girl (or guy, for that matter) doesn’t love Burt’s Bees Lip Balm? New this month are Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balms, which come in six wearable shades perfect for spring. Soft flower waxes, moisture-rich shea butter, and Vitamin E in these 100% natural balms will make her lips kissably soft. ($7, burtsbees.com)
