Perfume
After flowers and chocolates, a new fragrance is the number-one choice for a romantic gift. For her we suggest Love Relentlessly by Tori Burch or Daisy by Marc Jacobs. For him, we love Sauvage by Dior. You and your Valentine are sure to love these scents & they will last longer than flowers! All are available at Ulta Beauty for under $100.

Couples Cuff ID Bracelet Set
We love this ‘His n Hers’ gift from Things Remembered (who has totally upped their jewelry game btw). Styled in sleek stainless steel, inside of each cuff is engraved with His One and Her Only, and you can engrave the outside to personalize them. Get the word ‘love’ engraved for free on any item now through Feb. 14. Plus, get a Shadow Box for only $14.99 with any purchase.

Custom Basket
If you want to give your Valentine a variety of items and have them wrapped up for you, check out the Monica’s Creations cart on level 1 near Target. They’ll customize a basket that meets your budget and caters to your special Valentine.
Cosmetics
If your Valentine loves Limited Edition cosmetics you have to get her the Maneater Eyeshadow Palette from Ulta Beauty. It’s only $29 and features 8 shades with cute Valentine appropriate names like Passion and Foxy. We also love their Mascara. I’m actually wearing it right now. It’s amazing, and there is a Maneater Event at Ulta Beauty at Connecticut Post today and tomorrow and you get a free gift with any Maneater purchase.
