THE ÂMÉ Valentine's Day Lockdown Gift Guide

We love love. Truly, madly, deeply. But when it comes to Valentine’s Day — well, finding a way to show people (and, let’s be honest, ourselves) that we really love them on the day of love is … hard. Especially this year. Restaurants are closed, you’ve already made every tasty recipe on the entire Internet together, and the phrase “Netflix and chill” has lost all meaning.

But we won’t back down — especially not in lockdown. After 2020, our loved ones and friends deserve to be reminded of how great they are, regardless of a seemingly never-ending confinement within four walls. So in honor of this strange-but-still-loved-filled Valentine’s Day, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite gifts that say, “I love you, even if I’ve been in almost non-stop close proximity to you for the past year.”

Lunya Pajamas

Perfect for those can’t-get-out-of-bed days — which, in lockdown, seems to be just about every day since your bed is your office, dinner table, and movie chair. You’re essentially giving her cozy and chic all at once — the love language of bed dwellers everywhere.

We’re Not Really Strangers Game

They say that love is a game for two, but this game takes it to another level. It’s built around 3 levels of questions that help you deepen your relationship with your partner. We played it with ours, and fell in love — again. A perfectly fun yet meaningful gift for any couple that loves to go deeper.

Necessaire The Sex Gel

It’s clean. It’s sexy. It’s vegan. And it says certain things — *wink, wink* — so that you don’t have to. Oh, and did we mention it’s sexy?

Leather Organizing Tray

For the person who can’t stop rearranging and organizing everything in the house since lockdown began. This organizing tray is timeless, elegant, and says, “I see and love your OCD.”

Weighted Blanket

You could give them a warm hug … Or you could let weighted blankets do it. Calming lockdown anxiety? Now that’s true love.

Heart Shaped LeCruset Pan

Listen, we know your partner might be tired of innovating in the kitchen. But you guys, this is HEART-shaped! Not only is a heart the proverbial bat signal for Valentine’s Day, it’s also a kitchen maven must-have.

Vitruvi Diffuser

The perfect reminder for those who need a little self-care in their lives. This terracotta diffuser is both beautiful, bougie, and beneficial. Sign us up.

Smeg Tea Kettle

In a relationship with someone who’s in a slightly co-dependent relationship with their tea? This stylish, retro kettle is the ultimate treat.

His and Hers and Theirs Cashmere Socks

There’s something so luxurious about cashmere socks — a literal wonderland for feet. Whomever you get these for will be living out the rest of their lockdown days in pure bliss — because let’s be honest, we all love soft things.

Projector

Is this a splurge? Yes. Is it totally worth it because you and your honey can set up an impossibly cute movie night that doesn’t include clicking through Netflix for 25 minutes before choosing something? Hell yes. Just be sure to pick something romantic.

Rahua Body Shower Gel

We never knew true love until we found this USDA Certified organic shower gel. The rich scent is an indulgent blend of eucalyptus, vanilla, palo santo, and lavender, making you feel luxe, pampered, and deserving of being hand-fed grapes. If you gift this to yourself … well, we wouldn’t be mad.

Eminence Apricot Body Oil

Gift this light, chic oil alongside a full body massage to the partner whose love language is physical touch — and thank us later. That is, if you ever come up for air.

Lounge Pant

If she’s still wearing those same sweatpants from high school, it’s time to show her the light with these slouchy, gloriously soft, cotton lounge pants from Free People. Plus, they’re cute enough for the weekly grocery run.

The perfect Valentine’s Day gift says, “Hey, I see you. And I love you.” The perfect lockdown Valentine’s Day gift says, “Hey, I see you all day, every day. And I still love you.” So whether you’re gifting to yourself (and yes, we highly recommend this), to a friend, or to your honey, we suggest laughing in the face of the pandemic that threatened to squelch our Love Day, and give something special.
