Ooh St. Valentine!

Valentine’s Day has always been one of my favourite holidays to celebrate. While I don’t need one day of the year to show my darling hubby how much he is adored, I can’t resist a holiday built around the most beautiful thing in the world; love! That, and it’s the one time of the year everyone seems to embrace (or at least tolerate) stores bursting with pink and red… my heaven!

Nitin and I usually book dinner at a new restaurant for Valentine’s Day, but this year we decided to cancel our reservation and cook a special dinner at home together. Whether you’re planning a quiet night in like us, or celebrating big this VDay, the question of what to get your significant other is always lingering in everyone’s head. Not to worry …the Khosla’s to the rescue! Nitin and I have put together a list of our top Valentine’s Day gifts for him and her.

KIKI’S LIST – GIFTS FOR HER

J Crew Comme des Garcons Low Top Sneakers – Pull at her shoestrings with these adorable wear-your-heart-on-your-shoes sneakers. Not a sneakerhead? Check out these ED Langston Ballerina flats.

Ted Baker Bijou Ballerina Necklace – Nitin surprised me with this necklace (in pink – sold out now) for Christmas and I immediately fell in love with its femininity and simplicity. Another great jewelry piece are these Pandora Pave Drop earrings.

L’Agent Grace Playsuit Red and Gold – How can you go wrong with lingerie as gorgeous as this?

Indigo Read Me When Love Letters – I’m obsessed with this collection of future letters to your darling Valentine. The gift that keeps on giving.

Love Poems Book – Nitin got me this book last Valentine’s, along with Love Letters of Great Men. Not only do they make for great bedside books, but they’re the perfect little read when you’re in the mood for a shot of romance.

Steamline Luggage The Editor Black Carryon – For the gal who loves to travel, a beautiful new piece of luggage is always a good idea. Kick things up a notch by planning a surprise getaway and filling her newly acquired luggage with everything she’ll need. Not brave enough to pack for her? Put tickets or an itinerary in an envelope and pop inside the luggage for a sweet surprise.

Kate Spade …everything! – There is no disappointing with Kate Spade. My favourite Valentine’s Day pieces are this Lipstick Crop PJ set, these heart to heart 3 piece sock set, this oblong scarf.

 

NITIN’S LIST – GIFTS FOR HIM

Bepsoke Box – Surprise your sweetie with a tailored Bespoke box. From a cocktail aging kit to a winter warm-up box, you’re sure to find something for even the pickiest man.

Smartwatch – Perfect for the tech savvy gent, choose from a wide selection of smartwatches ranging from Nike to Hermes.

Ted Baker Flamingo Lapel Pin – Style him as a flamingo in a flock of pigeons.

Cutter & Buck Vintage Leather Weekender Duffle Bag – An essential for every man; the weekender bag. I love Cutter & Buck bags (between Nitin and I we have four of them, ranging from backpacks to weekenders) because they are perfect for weekend getaways or business trips. I surprised Nitin with this bag last year and he’s loves travelling with it on our mini getaways.

Macallan Edition No. 2 – For the guy who likes to stock his bar with premium bottles, this single malt scotch whisky is a great addition to any liquor cabinet.

Burberry Classic Cashmere Scarf  – Spoil him with this timeless Burberry check scarf, and don’t forget about the free customization!

Socks – Nitin’s sock drawer is overflowing with funky socks, but he’s always excited to add a new pair to his growing collection.

Honns Oliver Camel Touch Screen Gloves – I wasn’t surprised by this pick of Nitin’s, given that he’s married to his phone. I mean, how else can someone check emails and get sports updates every second ;)? These gloves are the perfect combination of sophistication and practicality.

Spiderman Cufflinks – Channel his inner child with these rhodium plated cufflinks, perfect for your favourite superhero.

 

Happy almost love day darlings!
