You know how it goes: Valentine’s Day by the numbers. One set of sexy lingerie, dinner for two, a dozen roses…predictable. After two years of the pandemic, predictable is fine, but how about something that says ‘thanks for putting up with me during three variants, three vaccinations, and numerous mental breakdowns’?
Give a gift that lets your loved one know that you choose them every day and that you’re awfully glad they choose you, too.

Winc Subscription
If the two of you always find yourself reaching for the same kinds of wine, try this wine subscription service (and read our review of Winc!). You get new-to-you brands of wine without standing in the liquor store staring blankly at a wall of Chianti.

Go highbrow and cool with a personalized anniversary hoodie (monogrammed with Roman numerals). Available in a handful of colors, though I love the clay brown colorway.
Enameled Heart Cast Iron
Keep it cute and romantic with this 2-quart cast iron casserole dish. While you can use it for desserts and other baked goods, I’d use it to make popcorn the old-fashioned way, and then use the casserole to serve the popcorn. Make sure to let it cool first!
Personalized Engraved Fragrance Bottle
For a gift unlike any you’ve heard of before, you can get your favorite perfume bottle engraved with your loved one’s name. It would be equally thoughtful to have your anniversary date placed on the bottle…a sweet way to keep your special day close to your heart.
