What to Gift Yourself This Valentine’s Day

In partnership with our friends at

Single, married, somewhere in between—doesn’t matter. Fact is, the world would be a better place if we were all a little nicer to ourselves. So appreciate yourself as often as you can—and if you’re a little rusty, start here, with one of these tangible gifts (love may not always last forever, but a great piece of jewelry just might!) or better yet, experiences. After all, it means spending quality time with someone truly special.
